>>117609269I saw Steve Albini at a McDonalds in Chicago yesterday. Jaded as I am, I told him how cool it was to meet him in person and how strange it was to see him patronizing one of the most destructive corporations on earth, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him to sign my big mac box or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and finished my mcnuggets, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to refill my drink up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with three stapled uber eats orders without paying for anything.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you can't take those.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took his order, he stopped her and told her to stop “niggering everything in sight and motherfucking my big macs,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think she was black. After she brought him the bag and asked him to pay, he ignored her and just kept whistling really loudly at this girl who must've been twelve or thirteen, tops.
