McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

They were literally at the McDonald's. Couldn't they just go back in and ask for an extra sauce?

At a hood McD's they're going to charge for them.

Plus I learned recently that soda products from McDonald's really are better than other places. I didn't know that was true for a very long time. When did you all learn that?

They're fanatical about the water used and require they actually get reverse osmosis double filtration systems if the city water isn't up to snuff (or maybe it is all locations now). There's also a fanatical maintenance schedule for making sure every part of the pathway from water/syrup to finished soda. Similarly, the ice and ice machines have to be maintained in a specific way.

They routinely send out mystery shoppers and inspectors and if they get complaints about a location, they will threaten to yank their franchise if they don't get their shit in order.

They used to be made of processed chicken meat that had artificial preservatives. They claim to be made of all white meat now. I'm pretty sure they changed around early 2000s or 2010s.

I'm curious, was the breading changed? That's the big thing I noticed when I tried them again after a few years. The texture was very different on the breading, almost off-putting.

I'm pretty sure it was because of Morgan Spurlock's 2004 schizo meltdown that caused McDonald's to change the chicken breeding for the McNuggets

He also presented "medical evidence" of liver problems and other medical conditions related to severe alcoholism, while blaming it on McDonald's and not disclosing that he was in fact drinking heavily at the time of the "documentary."

It's stupid yet unsurprising that I had to learn this in both middle and high school during respective health classes, yet this shitty excuse of a "documentary" didn't stop us from going to McDonalds. :story:

The McDonalds near me can't build sandwiches worth a damn. Every time I open the box it's a sloppy mess with the lettuce and tomatoes slipping away and staining everything with mayo.

Sounds like you've been to the most ghetto McDonald's you've ever been to

I would guess that it's a rushing/productivity issue because the process of burger construction at McD's is heavily standardized.

Though when I worked there as a teen, wraps were introduced briefly.

For the life of me, I couldn't spatially orient how to fold the wraps in real time to get them to stay closed in the wrapper before sending them down the chute.

I can still picture my disappointed manager standing there with my messy wrap of shame chastising me that my white boy tortilla folding was unacceptable.

One of my first jobs was working a MickeyD. After a year, I stopped eating there. Won't even drink water from the place. Been almost 2 decades since I so much as touched a straw from the place.
When you see what goes on behind the counter, you'd do the same.

Please, do share so I can suppress my craving for a BigMac and large fries.

Small town upbringing, so you end up working quite a few fast food jobs. Mcdonalds is the only one I have ever worked where the Managers encouraged you to fuck with the food, not follow food safety or cleanliness, hired the worst kind of people (we had a fucking line cook who had endless weeping sores from meth on his arms, we kept him in the back back so customers couldn't see). Shit like "ice skating" on a few patties before they get cooked. Hiring literal retards who beat off in the freezer, and the manager just saying "Oh, just throw away the top layer, it didn't get on the stuff underneath." Plus, if you have never seen what the underside of equipment like friers, shake machines, even the fucking ice machines look like at a McDicks, you have no fucking clue. I have seen gross shit at the other places I worked, but I'll still eat there if I need to.
But not McDonald's. If I was dying of thirst and you had a cup of water from there in your outstretched hand, I'd ask you to drink it and piss in my mouth so it was at least a little cleaner.
Every fast food place is a little gross, but McDonald's is consistently the worst for staff, product and price.
Even places like Wendy's are the TJ Maxx to McDonald's always, always being the Dollar Tree.
