TL; DR:
We found…read morethat McDonalds was the only place you don't go broke in St. Croix getting food (including grocery stores). That's a plus for at least a quick snack if not a meal on the go. The only place to get ice cream in St. Croix for under $5 a scoop was, yes, McDonalds (Sunday $2.39, McFlurry $3.39 ish), and a comedic episode comes free with a Bimbo!
The Rest Of The Story
My girls were jonesing for ice cream and after buying the less than half gal (1.5quart) of breyers for $13 only to find it had melted and refrozen (nasty), we decided to go McFlurry.
It was in the evening when we drove to McDonalds, looked at the ice cream menu, and the car erupted in laughter because we spotted the "Bimbo" McFlurry . So we ordered 5 "bimbos" along with 60 McNuggets ($10 for 20) and otherwise. Then the person at the other end of the ordering system (speaker-dude) told us that the ice cream machine did not work. My girls (2 daughters and wife) were very disappointed. We canceled the entire order and went on an ice cream shop hunt.
As we were during the middle of the week and just after peak season (still 83 degrees at night), and on "island time" we found that the ice-cream shops had all closed early. "All" being like 3.
SO we came back to McDonalds just to get some nuggets (the prior order planted the suggestion in everyone).
To have a little fun, each person in the car (5) ordered something along with a Bimbo McFlurry. Each time the speaker-dude said "sorry, ice cream machine is not working". So we adjusted the order to order nuggets and an ice cream cone. Again the speaker-dude said the ice cream machine is not working. So we would change to nuggets and ice cream Sunday and again, speaker-dude said "not working". The car was rocking with laughter. When we finally just ordered just the nuggets, and we then pulled up to the delivery window. To speaker-dude's credit, he did *not* show a single sign of frustration.
A different person (a really adorable young lady) handed us our 60 McNuggets with a "thank you". We then decided to extend the fun and asked where the Bimbo McFlurry's were that we ordered .
The young lady got a shocked look on her face and said "oh my gosh, he did not charge you for those did he?!" We burst out laughing and said "no, he told us over and over again the machine was not working, we are just messing with you". She laughed and said "oh but it /is/ working"... and paused and smiled a devilish smile... then asked "how many do you want?"
As near as we can figure, the person at the other end of the ordering system (speaker-dude) had cleaned the machine early so he could leave early, then lied to us about it not working. The young lady, immediately recognizing what was going on and thought she would have her own bit of fun ... and have him clean it again after giving us Bimbo McFlurrys.
Everyone was laughing except the "speaker-dude" who had to adjust his "Island Time Zone" and clean it again we think.
It was an interactive SNL comedy show with snacks, dessert and an awesome server.
SO, I have to say St. Croix was hands down the best McD experience EVER. (It would have made a great reel)
To cap it off, we decided to Venmo the window lady a hansom tip, we loved her!
