McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

Is there a way to get a container of that minced onion sludge? I like real onions too, but there's a nice quality to that stuff.

They're dehydrated onions they add hot water to. I'd try a restaurant supply. I can smell they've added some Jersey artificial flavors to it as well, a pinch of msg and inexplicably, onion powder.

Source: worked there in high school and whenever the factory did a slowdown or shutdown.

2 double cheeseburgers without the cheese because I am autistic and some large fries, no drink because they replaced the plastic straws with paper ones here and I hate how they get soggy and feel triggers me.

Sometimes get the wrap of the day for 2 pound, especially if it's the one with bacon, it's basically 2 chicken selects in a wrap with salad etc.

As I'm currently attempting to lose weight, I've been generally avoiding McDonalds and other fast food places as much as I can. However, as a filthy American I can't help but admit that I love me some McNuggets with sweet and sour sauce. I also like to dip my fries in said sauce too.
If I do go there, I usually get an Egg McMuffin as it's one of the few items that won't completely wreak havoc on my progress.

Agree, I'll readily admit I was a McDonalds junkie, especially when they used to have that 1/3rd lb burger but I haven't eaten there since probably Feb?

I went sometime at the start of the summer, watched the gloved employee take the money from the car in front of me then use the same hand to jam napkins into a bag and that was enough for me.

Gloves set up a false expectation of cleanliness on the part of the cook.
You wash your hands less when you can't feel the dirt on them. That's why I'm almost against glove laws for food workers. (Almost because there will always be those idiots who pay no attention to what they do, and gloves exist for them.)

E- Wait. What McDonalds doesn't have a distinctly different pay window vs food window? Drive through cashiers usually aren't handling food or napkins. :thinking:

Most if not all McDonalds around here have two windows, but when they're running short staffed it's not uncommon for them to do both from the same window.z

Now Wendys & Burger Kings around here do it all through the same window despite having two windows that I haven't seen in use in over a decade.

The Hardees around here only have one window as they were all built in the 1980s

I personally prefer Wendy's if I'm eating some fast food.

The spicy chicken and a frosty (sp?) are decent enough for a once or twice a month quickie. (kinda like your mom)

To will eat a McChicken if I'm there but 90% of their menu is pretty nasty. Oddly enough this post made me realize I've never tried a Fillet of Fish...I count myself lucky.

MacDonalds is great outside the US as other countries have more stringent meat quality requirements that don't allow pink slime. Maccas fries are GOAT

Edit to add bishonen grimace

I've been to so many McDonald's and other fast food places that have two windows, but only ever use one, that I honestly wonder why they bother to build two in the first place.

I've seen one and two but I've never seen a McDonald's that has two windows and doesn't use both of them. If they don't it slows down the line to about double its time and would halve their income.

It's pretty normal if you go at off-peak hours. At those times of day, the bottleneck in the drive-thru experience is usually the food prep and not the food vending. You can't get rid of the customer if the food isn't made yet, so taking the money while you're waiting for the food to get made isn't really too big of an issue, and it saves labor costs.

I think it can vary a fair bit from store to store and area to area as to the actual utilization of the 2nd window. I haven't worked there in 20 years, but I used to be a store manager at a McD's. High-volume stores (like $4 million+) can generally justify the use of it at all hours, but none of the stores in my franchise group were like that. We'd keep them both open during the peak meal rushes, but usually not during mid-day or during closing hours. And some stores, as @MysticMisty said, only ever used one. Mostly because they were built with the anticipation of doing $2.5 million in annual sales and only made $1.5 million. Note: I have no idea what current store revenues for a McDonald's are nowadays, but these were typical numbers for our area back then.

Another factor that can influence things is staffing. If you don't have enough employees to staff all parts of the store, you pick the positions that will create the least problems. It's usually the "least bad" choice that you've got.
