Hey, we were just talking about that good old government cheese, haven't had any since the lakota used to come trade it to me back in the early 80s.

Those fries look to be about the size of the ones they serve at a local car show. The vendor specializes in fries only, but the problem is that they use little potatoes. I have watched them load their potato slicer with nothing but little potaties, from which you get little fries. They need to get their potatoes from another vendor.

I only go to McD's when a person I know is working the window. Being a senior citizen her work ethic and quality control is tops. She doesn't let mistakes go to the customers. Any other time you have kids at the window and they usually don't give a crap whether your order is right.

If I order from McDonalds and nobody whizzed in my coke or haucked on my burger I feel I got my moneys worth.

if i order from mcdonalds eat it and dont die or have to to to the hospital i feel lucky.

Love McDucks....ever since I found a band aid in my Salad.

I really hated it when we were a family and you bring food back for the four of you and invariably someone gets shorted on something. By the time you drive back and come home again your food is cold and every one else is done eating.


Just last Friday night I was working at the shop late and around 12:40 I decided to run to the Wendy's near the shop. They are open until 1 am, and I got into the drivethru line at 10 til 1. Lights were off, so I drove up to the first window. Guy with the headset on is ignoring me, so I went to the second window. Girl says " we are closed." I told her it is 10 to 1, and I want to see the manager. When he comes to the window I tell him it is 10 to 1 and he says " Look Bud, you don't pay my salary, so don't tell me what time I should close!!" That was a big mistake.

I asked for the franchisees phone number and he gave it to me . I immediately called them and left a message on their answering machine. Monday morning the District Manager called me and apologized and said "Al" is going to be retrained about what time they close and how to speak to a customer. If he hadn't been so smart I would have let it pass, but there was no excuse for his comment. BTW, I did inform him I DO pay his salary, along with every other Wendy's customer. Maybe now he believes that statement.

Don I had the same thing happen at two different burger Kings. The last one had all the lights on as I drove up to the order machine, and when I asked if anyone was there, they turned all the lights out. I drove up to the window, and they refused to come and take my order! Really pissed me off. Next time I will call the franchise manager!

out here we have a chain called In-N-Out, they serve the best burgers around at a really good price. all owned by original family, no franchise, all supplied by commisary and the spread out of the chain is limited by the distance from their main facility to ensure freshness. they pay their employees better, good for what they're doing, and therefore I have yet to have a bad experience there. the ONLY complaint I have is their fries:
1. they use vegetable oil, which may be healthier but tastes like crap
2. they use real potatoes, so rather than having processed potatoe squished into shape and made in good size pieces they end up with a lot of those shorties in there as well. I always joke that if I were rich my eccentricity would be having an assistant pick through the fries so I only got long ones.

depending on the location I go to I will sometimes get my burgers there and then get my fries from McD.

We just got an In and Out burger here last year. Excellent burgers and prices, also great simple menu, no 40k choices to sit and read while people pile up behind you!

We don't eat McD's tucker, it's expensive rubbish, but I do enjoy (and collect) their toys. They're great, you wind them up and they "do things", not like die-cast toys......you have to push them along and make the noises yourself.
So, every Thursday, (which is go-to-town-day,) we go to McD's, get two diet Cokes and two each of the toys.....then go somewhere else to get our tucker-bags full.

sorry to hijack this thread,

stovens, the menu is very simple, but if you work with those ingredients they'll do just about anything you want. i.e. (things not on the menu but universal for In-N-Out)

animal style= this is grilled onions, yum
protein style= they wrap it in a huge leaf of lettuce rather than the bun
n by n= 5x5 or whatever number you want of patties, I have a coworker who tackles the 5x5. my mouth won't even open that big
shakes= they only list one size but will do larger

now I"m getting hungry for lunch!!!! there's one just down the street from my new office.....

You guys need to stop with the in-n-out burger talk, we have none here, and i have not had some in about 4 years.

Red, my wife turned me on to the grilled onions option, yum! I had no idea about the stacker options
It's funny about the fries. Some days they just hit the spot, and others, they need something to make them crisper! McDonalds seems to have that down, although I think if I went to the one that started this thread, I'd be very specific about "super size me"!

O.K. Johnboy, whats a tucker bag ? I got this letter below from corporate office today, I bet its the last I hear of it. That is until I try to sell them on Ebay.

Not to say that there is a real connection here, but my father in law always told me that when ever MickeyD's has a special on burgers you never see any stray dogs in the neighborhood.
