Default I went to McDonalds

here's what I got when I ordered a McChicken from the value menu

http://ftupet.com/~tert/img/stuff/food/mcd/mcchx.jpg

I left it at the high resolution so you can marvel at whatever the hell
is going on in there

it tasted just like it looks

what really disturbed me about my visit wasn't the mysterious chicken
like substance - check out this sign clearly mass produced by McD Inc.

Isn't that roughly what you'd expect?

Your expectations were set too high. You should never allow that to happen.

I've been eating there a lot because it's cheap and fast. Just thinking about eating there makes me queasy but we go there anyway. It's like filling up gas at your usual gas station. Mostly you need someplace to fill up that's convenient, reliable, and fast.

I'd much rather slow my life down and enjoy my food. Once every 5 or 10
years is plenty of McDonald's for me.

We're eating at that place more often these days and will be doing so for the near future. We have more important issues to attend to than eating on anything other than a maintenance level.

It's just different strokes for different folks. I rarely go to
McDonalds
but it's always a good treat for me when I do go there.
Remember my '40-hamburgers-at-a-time' story?
Ah, the good ol' days.

So you enjoyed it then?
I think any food would look wierd under a microscope or
magnifying glass. Shrink the picture and it looked good
to me. heheh
Hey, what do you expect for a dollar or so?

Seriously, what was disturbing about the sign?
To me it obviously states free refills on drinks
while you are there eating inside.
And not to bring an empty cup with you on your next
visit for more free drinks.
An "all you care to drink" on a visit sounds like a
good deal to me. They didn't used to offer that.

oh well.

Locally that would cost $1.25. I can get a much better chicken sandwich
in town, but it cot $7.95. You've probably heard "you get what you pay
for". Cheap and fast.

Why does that disturb you? People will save their cups and come back
again for a free soda. Happens more than you think so it is prudent to
make people aware of the rules if they are confronted. Same thing
happens with coffee shops too. Customers also steal the ketchup packets,
napkins, s&p shakers. I know of one guy that went to Arby's and took
his empty soda cup and filled it with bbq sauce when he left.

It's stealing, plain and simple.

Many years ago when I was taking some classes to renew my ins. license
I'd stop at McD's for coffee and a McMuffin before heading to class. On
several occasions I saw the same four people come in and buy coffee
(free refills!) but they were brown-bagging it - they brought their own
food! You could have knocked me over with a feather. I am absolutely
amazed they weren't told to take their coffee and leave.

That is a surprise. My wife got kicked out of McDs for bringing in
coffee. We were car pooling for a while and I started work earlier than
she did, so she would drop me off and go for breakfast. She hated their
coffee, so she would stop at Hortons to get coffee and them go to McDs
for eggs. They told her several times not to but she kept doing it until
the ended up kicking her out.

Well hey, they're in business to sell things. I'm sorry your wife got
kicked out but at least she was warned first. I saw these same people
doing this for about two weeks and, at least when I was there, not one
employee said a word to them. It struck me as very odd.

It's not like she is holding a grudge. She told them she would have
bought their coffee if it tasted better. Back then their coffee was
horrible.

It usually surprises me that some places allow outside food. It happens
sometimes at the Tim Hortons stores around here. There are a few of them
near high schools and they come at lunch time. Some buy lunch, some buy
drinks and bring their lunch, and some just bring a lunch and sit with
their friends. I guess it is up to the store to decide if it is worth
alienating customers.

Our corner bakery/coffee shop has free wifi and there are several people
who really take advantage of that. There are two women in particular
who seem to telecommute and spend half the day in there, each one taking
a table for for, have laptops plugged into the wall sockets and are on
their cell phones. I have a hard enough time being patient when I am
subjected to loud one sided cell phone conversations, and I find it even
worse when they are business calls. They don't even restrict their table
hogging to off hours. One of them is pretty much guaranteed to be there
are lunch time, no matter how busy the place is.

The owner is a friend of mine and I suppose it is up to her to decide
whether the amount they buy is worth the space they take up. If it were
me, I would be changing the WiFi code.

That's odd. Would think that as long as she buys something there, it
wouldn't be a problem.

That is the way she thought they should look at it. They were selling
her the eggs. She was bringing better coffee than McD sells. They ended
up selling her nothing. FWIW. even back then I questioned her about
eating McD's food. I had sworn off it years earlier. I had only had it a
few times and it was never a positive experience for me, but she said
the scrambled eggs were good.

Good for them. They should have given her a trespassing warning and
arrested her the next time she did it. Thank you for that insight into
how much of a **** your wife really is.

It looks disgusting, why would a normal brained person buy such
crap...

For $8 I'd much rather buy 4 pounds of skinless boneless chicken
breasts, cook them myself and feed four hungry people... and know
what/who we're eating. Were I in a hurry and didn't feel like cooking
just about every stupidmarket sells whole rotisserie chickens for
$5... a much better deal than an $8 measly chicken sandwhich at a
restaurant in the high rent district plus you'd order some over priced
sides and bevrages and leave a tip, those two $8 chicken sandwiches
for two will cost you at least $40. I'd rather pick up a seven pound
roasting chicken for under $7 and at the same time roast a few spuds
to go with... fix a nice salad and with a couple decent drinkiepoos
I'd have two days great meals for two for say under $20.
Tonight's dinner is left overs from last night; ****ghetti n'
saw-seege w/homemade tomato sauce from the freezer. A good brand of
saw-seege (Gianelli) was on sale all last week so I stocked up with
ten 3 lb packages. Some major brand of pasta is always on sale,
Barilla was 99¢ a lb. Canned tomatoes are always on sale, in fact I
buy them by the case at BJs. I don't consider making a 16 qt pot of
sauce work... hardest labor is cranking the Swing-A-Way.
Sometimes I wonder where we're heading, wasn't twenty years ago pasta
cost 3 lb/$1, on sale 4 lbs/$1. I can remember when the local gin
mills served pasta and saw-seege to the regulars all they can eat for
free... draft beers were 5¢ and every 4th was on the house, you could
get a full belly and loaded for a buck.

I'd like to get four pounds of skinless boneless chicken breasts for $8
too. Unfortunately, I am stuck here in the real world.

Have to agree with you here Sheldon! That's why I call them McCraps, and I hold McCraps as the bellwether of everything that's WRONG with FastFood, MOST of which is salty fatty sugar laden crappy swill!

??? shrug It's no different than any business of its kind. On the
good side, I haven't heard any stories about McDs insisting employees
clock out and sit in their cars during slow times, or the mega owner
screwing over employees for pay and overtimes while building himself a
Disney like mansion/playground.` You could always go to Chick Filet
(?) and try their sandwich -- that's another place that screws
employees.

I suspect that Chick Filet has better sandwiches.
Probably costs more than a dollar though.

Let's not talk about screwing their employees.
It's a minimum wage job never meant for education losers
trying to support a family. It's for single people.

My tiny mind? How about your liberal save the world tiny mind.
People with no education work at minimum wage jobs. Never meant
to support a family.

If you feel so bad about how they are abused with their minimum
wages and no benefits, just give each one you encounter a hefty
tip. Save the world and Give me a break.

There was a time when those minimum wage jobs were the part time
positions for students or mothers picking up a few hours while the kids
are at school, or menial jobs that required no brains and no skills.
Manufacturing jobs had left as our politicians and business man started
the race to the bottom.

Raising the minimum wage just creates inflation. Our state went up in
January and the local McD raised prices by 20 cents a sandwich. Raise
the wage and price too much and there will be no customers to support it.

I'd pay 20 cents more if it meant fairer wages. I mean, 20 cents...
would you bend over to pick it up on the street?

Money is made round to go around. I live in an area with some automotive
plants and the auto workers make pretty good money. They spend that
money on cars, on clothing, on education for their kids, on dinners out,
on vacations. They spend most of their money locally.

Raising the minimum wage is not going to cause massive inflation
directly because it affects mainly the service and retail sectors, where
wages are generally the lowest. The impact might be felt at a level
slightly higher. If the minimum wage is increased substantially it will
mean that a lot of other people will want a raise. There are lots of
people working for a little more than minimum, so if the minimum wage is
increased those people will then find themselves working for minimum and
will expect raises because that had been working for X amount over minimum.

I never said anything about raising the minimum wage. I'm talking
about scum practices that cheats employees of their rightful earned
pay.

Sound like a hex address rather than a place to eat. Let's face it, it's a lousy name for an eatery - or a great one for nerds.

I think BBF may have evolved into Burger King.

Google says that BBF means "Bigger Better Faster." I can dig that.

It's been a long time since BBF's were around but I'm sure there must be Americans here older than I am.

It's a chicken patty, lettuce, mayo and pickles.
I kinda like it, because it's got a nice peppery flavor going on.

One goes to a fast food joint, one orders a fast food burger and, lo
and behold, one gets a fast food burger. One can only conclude that
the world makes perfect sense.
