Nasty crap happening at our local McDonalds

[rhegedus]

BK Whopper for me - nothing at McDonalds comes close, though the breakfasts aren't too bad. Can't really say I'm a big fan of KFC.

Anyone in the UK remember Wimpy?

Yes, our Wimpy here became a Burger King.

our wimpy changed to starburger, which i think is still going, but it made the same menu as wimpy and never changed it, so really it was still wimpy. i prefer their burgers actually as they are not soggy like mcdonalds.

Housepig, did you try a UK Mcdonalds on your recent trip, was it any different ?

I've had McDonalds on both sides of the pond and there was no difference as far as I could tell, both equally as bad as each other.

McD's hasn't had decent food around here in at least 20 years. I usually opt for a local chain called Coney Island, where the burgers are left to stew in a sauteed onion concoction... but the best part is they deep fry their bacon. After a night out drinking there is nothing that hits the spot better than a bacon double cheeseburger from this place.

I'm proud to admit in the 22 months since my son was born I haven't had one McDonalds/fast food burger.
I have had KFC on occasion but thats's another story.
Too much marketing bullshit (my neice was refusing to go anywhere other than McD at three years old for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!
Plus, it's not the greatest food, nor the most filling, is it?

I was on the motorway all day yesterday and sucumbed.
I'm sorry, I had a large big mac meal, an extra portion of large fries, a cuppa and a free read of the independent.
I'm sorry
Hell, my company was paying, and I was hungry

I was just about to type that there was a Wimpey in Leeds City Centre still, but according to my pal in the next office it changed to BK years ago
Don't like BK.

BK do a rodeo burger which is really good value, double cheeseburger with 2 onion rings slapped in there for only 99 pence.

Has anyone here read Fast Food Nation?!? I snarfed fast food like it was going out of style in high school. After reading this book in college - I stopped!!!

[tgpo]

Oh, it's a book. NOFX speak of it in the song Franco Unamerican. I always figured they were speaking of just fast food.

[pacmania_2001]

I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of Fast Food Nation

[tgpo]

Exactly. But what about in the song when he sings. I eat no breath mints because they're from dehuved horses.....is that true?

[phonomas]

Yeah, it really proves the power of the printed (sung?) word. I also used to buy everything I saw on the news - then I read Manufacturing Consent!

[ChrisX]

I no longer go to McD and better to eat elsewhere.

When I was a McDonalds I ordered fries and they suck hard as stone's I told the kid they are not good he took them and put them right back from where they came from and scoop up the same one's. I called McDonalds office told them about the problem. They sent me ten dollar's gift card's to use in there store's

McDonalds is very easy to scam for things like free gift vouchers. Ring up your local McDonalds store and tell the manager that you just came through the drive-thru and when you got home you found that they left out a burger from your order.

Most of the time that will be enough to get your a free $10 gift voucher but if the manager is still resisting tell them you are going to make a complaint to head office. That will get you it for sure.

"pacmania_2001" I did not scam McDonalds. After what the kid did I went up to the manager and ask for the home office number. I called and talk to some one on the phone and they took down my info and a month later I got the ten dollar gift card.

[pacmania_2001]

I never meant to imply that you did, just passing on some good information especially if you are a poor uni student.

Also works at most other big fast food places.

I used to only the eat the fries at McDonalds,but now some reason I swear
they're trying to give me a coronary by dumping what seems like half the
can of salt on top of them. My blood pressure can only go so high!
