Free stuff!

I've tried the Crispy Buffolo Chiken sandwhich and it was not great (not that I eat at McDonalds often, but maybe with these new sandwhiches they are nervous about the negative advertising from the movie "Super Size Me")

[Thenasty]

good, lunch is settled for 2 days

[GGKoul]

The was a shocking movie to see.  That's why I'll not eating at McDonald's anymore.

[ChadTower]

Let's see... I overeat at a fast food place three times a day and it makes me fat.

That's not shocking.  What's shocking is that anyone on the planet needed a movie to tell them that would happen.   

If I play in traffic, could I be hit by a car?

I wouldn't recomend doing it just to make a movie 

[Jabba]

I'm not sure but I think the guy divorced/separated from his wife. There is something at the end of the creidts that says something to that effect. Anyways, after seeing the movie, I stayed away for a few months.

Having been a former employee for McD's, I know EXACTLY how the food is cooked and served.... I do not eat there anymore....

Especially during Rush Hour....

Theyre advertising the mc rib on tv and all the billboards I see around town. I'm guessing they are using canada as a test market, they look tasty though.

I used to work at mc donalds as well, the aprehension goes away afer 9 years.

IIRC it took him like nine months to get the total amount of weight he gained off.  He didn't get divorced AFAIK.

[ChadTower]

But after all that weight off and on, and marital problems, I bet he's still a totally dumb ---uvula---.

[whammoed]

Also, it says a free "sample".  You probably won't get a whole sandwich, just a piece.

[ChadTower]

I'm not telling, because you may watch it, wasting your time and blaming me for your loss of life for that time period.

See how that logic works?

i said the same thing about Sonic, Subway, Schlotzkys.. i still eat at all of em...

[ChadTower]

In high school I managed two Subways (don't ask how or why a 17 year old was doing that).  Franchises like that CAN be run cleanly and safely.  Mine were.  I would have no problem eating at any place that was run as mine were.

Of course, I'd say the percentage of fast food places run that cleanly is likely in single digits.

[Daniel270]

Well.... it's not so much the fact of whether the store was clean... it's how the food was cooked...

[ChadTower]

Ah.  Subway is easier in that it does not cook the meats, just the breads.

[Gunstar Hero]

McD's has slid way way downhill anyways... the food is even worse these days, and if you go through the drive-thru they don't even welcome or thank you to save like 1.5 seconds... still, good breakfast sammitches. Mmmmmmmmm.

[ChadTower]

Eh, I wouldn't know.  I just take my kids there from time to time to play in the playland.  They get nugget Happy Meals and I get a diet soda. 

[Daniel270]

Ah.

[Dexter]

The day after myself and the girlfriend saw Supersize me, Mc Donalds staff dropped 'gold cards' into staff in all of the shops in the mall where she works. Spooky.

I still eat there OCCASIONALLY. Like everything else bad for you, once in a while won't damage your health (gotta love the milkshakes though).

Dexter

[Jabba]

Altho they do have that toaster oven, which heats the meat thoroughly.. a big plus!

[Daniel270]

no, but I'd love to have the money he's made from all the endorsements.. 

[danny_galaga]

i haven't ribbed you yanks for a while now  . but are you crazy? how can the word 'mcdonalds' and 'mmmmmm' be even distantly associated with each other!

my god, next you'll be saying bud and miller are world class beers...

[Gunstar Hero]

Sorry man, but that Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit they make is AWESOME.   

Their burgers, fries and chicken are crap tho.   

I normally only ever get McD's when on a long car trip anyways, cause they're EVERYPLACE.

I had heard they were coming out with a new sammich, but I think the marketing department will come up with a better name than the McDogTurd.....they'll prolly name it something cool like .... um..... the McRib 

Seriously, who the hell thinks a warm arsed PICKLE is the thing to put on top of a faux rib sammich?

Being out daily during the summer, I eat at fast food joints constantly, and there ARE good McD's for service, cleanliness, and food, but you've got to go through some hoops for the food.  Take something off of it - ANYTHING - and it seems as if they have to cook up an entirely new sammich.  Warm vinegar tasting pickles are not my idea of tasty, so ordering my sammich sans pickle and the UNGODLY amount of mustard they must feel masks the taste of the pre-made ones ALWAYS - without fail - results in a freshly cooked sammich, always SUPER hot and fresh, and always fully cooked.  NEVER an issue with this if the thing is made to my order.

Want fresh fries there too?  "Excuse me ma'am, I'd like my fries to be made with no salt please". 

I used to work at a Chick-fil-A, and we'd go to such lengths as making someone a fresh salad with no carrots, so I understand the "pre-made" requirements at certain times, but you CAN ensure yourself a hot meal that tastes reasonably good.

Also, if you find the friendly and clean McD's, do them a favor.  I do, knowing what they go through to get that level of quality - make the extra five minute drive to ONLY - ONLY - frequent that location.  You'll be AMAZED at the INCREASE in the level of your service when they see your face a few times and realize you're CHOOSING to eat there.

If you ever have a problem with them, nine times out of ten it is related to the night-time crew.  Nothing wrong with them per-se, but you'll have more teenagers working at that time, and less (usually) supervision or quality training and a mass grouping of people with the same experience, training, and outlook on the service they are offering i.e. it's a job they are doing, rather than a service they are providing.


You can make your fast food service experience a better one, regardless of the people and their outlook.

Mmmmmmm. Trans-fatty acids.

ok this is pretty funny, i went into Burger king with my friend yesterday. and I usually go there for lunch break at least once a week. and i walk up to the register and the girl goes,
"hey, do you want your regular?" im like "uhh yeah lets see if you can get it". she says it perfect, double whopper with cheese, plain with ketchup, large fries"

is that a sign you eat too much fast food? lol

I haven't really enjoyed McDonalds since they stopped cooking everything in lard.

I want to start a new restaraunt where everthing has too much sugar, salt, and/or fat and it cooked in lard if at all possible.  There will be NO diet ANYTHING served under any circumstances.

The slogan will be something like...

"Our food tastes awesome because it is horribly bad for you.  If you value your health, don't eat here."

I guarantee that people will eat there just BECAUSE of the slogan.

The great part is that by publicly admiting that the food is bad for you up front, you totally avoid the "your food made me fat and unlealthy" lawsuits.

Either that, or a sign that someone likes you!

I have found a fairly foolproof way to tell if you are at a good mcdonalds or a bad McDonalds before you even order.

Look around, is catsup out and available? If it is, then it is usually a good mcdonalds, if it isn't then it is certainly a bad McDonalds.

Also, bad McDonalds DON'T want you staying there, they don't tend to ask "for here or to go" they just hit the "to go" button and throw your food at you in a bag, and don't offer any condiments (and there aren't any out either). Even if you specify "for here" they will still end up tossing a bag at you most of the time.

Of course, most MdDonalds are bad these days. Jack in the Box stuck a knife in their heart a few years back when they forced them to start making everything fresh through a commercial campaign. McDonalds went firmly in the toilet that day and never recovered.

LOL!! 

It's like the Denis Leary joke about "Cigarettes that come in a black pack, with a skull and crossbones on the front... called Tumors!" ...and smokers will be lined up around the block to get some.   

And they do make a burger place like you're describing. In & Out.  I dig any burger joint that doesn't offer a chicken sandwich or any sissy salads at all. It's  a shame almost never eat drive-thru anymore, so I rarely get by there.
