McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

Yesterday. They were soggy with a bitter aftertaste from the oil. They turn stiff because they were fried. You're not supposed to microwave fried food.
Supposed to?

You've never done it in your life and you're here telling me it's bad.

Why? I have no idea.

Next you're going to tell me I'm not supposed to microwave cold lasagna.

Just try it. It's pretty good. You have nothing to lose.

In all fairness, McDonalds has a great bakery selection, their apple pies are amazing for sure. Here's hoping
I don't know, their apple pies have been reformulated in the last 10 years and they're not as good as they used to be. And I was born too late for the fried ones.

How about a side of donuts with that Big Mac?

Good luck in areas without Krispy Kreme and getting it trucked in from who-knows-where.

Goodness my local McD’s jacked the price of their Filet O’ Fish to $6 and it’s the size of a hockey-puck. Ridiculous. Fast food nowadays really isn’t worth it unless you utilize their BS apps.
That's the one reason I quit eating at fast food normally (also treating normal customers like dirt--I entertained the prospect during COVID but I'm not going to park on the other side of the lot because everything's a pick-up spot now). All these places used to have coupons. Even Burger King still distributes paper coupons sometimes and the prices are much more reasonable with them.
 
Kiwis who have worked at the Golden Arches:

Why the fuck does it take so long to make a fucking McFlurry? The kids were eating their monthly dose of cancer today, and they got their Happy Meals in about half the time it took to produce their Mini McFlurries. How??
 
I ended up getting that Cajun McCrispy (the fuck is the difference between a McCrispy and McChicken)

I had a 20% off thing on the app so I got the deluxe one with the tomatoes and lettuce I guess?

It was tangy. More so than I thought it would be. Overall it was not bad, but I wouldn't get it again.

More importantly it takes them forever to make a hot chocolate.

My answer is probably/hopefully out of date.

It's because it's being made by a cashier, not a food maker.

At the Golden Arches, you have some wonderful people who are committed to making your food well and quickly. They're usually making sandwiches, meat, or fried products.

Then you have lazy bastards like me who are working the headset and window position. After minutes of tapping the screen without thinking, filling drinks, and cashiering, having to do anything involving ice cream just completely breaks the rhythm.

I may have been reluctant to do it, I may have been able to get someone else to do it. I may have made the thing and gotten ice cream on my face.

I had an office job years later where every single time I touched the metal doorknob, I would get a static electrical shock. I still hesitate when touching doorknobs today, because I got weirdly shocked so many times.

Mixing up the ice cream products reminds me of a relatively harmless albeit annoying version of that. Getting sticky crap in your eyelashes will make you hesitate to do it in the future.

I apologize on behalf of all fast food employees who have weirdly pretended to be better than you and made you wait. They just don't have the same work ethic as the people making most of the rest of the food.
There is no need to apologise. I don't actually mind waiting. I just couldn't figure out how the guys in the kitchen are so much faster than whoever works the ice cream machine. I wondered if the machine was slow, and then I castigated myself for thinking that one of the most efficient food retailers on earth hadn't bought fast machines.

Kids got absolutely ripped off on the Oreo mix-ins, too.
 
Is it any good?
It's not bad.

It isn't really hot, but still somehow more tangy than I would have thought if that makes sense. I don't know if I'd like the regular version, I got the deluxe with the tomatoes on it. I think the regular one just has pickles.

But like everything at McDonalds now it's too pricey for me to ever get regularly. I'd stick with the buy one get one McChicken deal normally.
 
I reckon the reason McFlurries take forever is because their ice cream machines seemingly are broken half the time. It's the same reason I'm always weary of ordering a shake.
Like I said before, McDonalds need to upgrade their ice cream machines. You'd think a big fast food chain could manage an ice cream machine

That's not as easy as it sounds, and while they claim the ice cream machine isn't working, that's not really the case most times. It has a very long self-cleaning procedure and can't be used while it's doing that. If it isn't routinely cleaned, you end up with sam and ella and other un-fun shit. They try to time this so it's available in peak hours but it is actually pretty complicated to prepare refrigerated dairy products, and you can get your franchise yanked if you cut corners.

It's the exact same machine as the other places. I watched some video where someone brought this up and said they have the same ones as Wendy's.

Maybe at some of them they skip the actual cleaning because franchise police don't routinely visit undercover. I'd be very suspicious of an ice cream machine that is ALWAYS available. You're likely to get some nice sam & ella from that shit.
 
Why dont we have a thread on couponing fags?
iirc that trend sorta died off after that reality show about it died
but yeah I could see there being some mileage in it, especially when it's not like the show where you get a hundred gallons of syrup for a nickel and instead it's some dipshit taking five hours out of their life to save ten bucks on more corn chips than they'll eat in their lives

I just want to confirm that Kiwi Farms is not blocked on McDonald's wifi.

I'm over here having a decaf right now.

Edit to add: I really recommend their decaf coffee. It's great.
a) McD coffee is one of the few coffees that I've had regularly, hit them a lot in high school. normally I have little patience for coffee outside of milkshake stuff like frappachinos and shit but McD really has some solid fucking coffee to the point I can even imagine their decaf is less of an abomination against god than normal decaf

b) I get an odd feeling when I'm at a serious business international THEM! and there's no blocks on the Farms. Like last time I was at Disney World, The Official Magical WiFi(tm) blocked even some of the more obscure chans, but the farms were wide open. Like when Narrator was trying to find out what Tyler had been up to and he'd get the occasional "nor would I have any knowledge ... ... sir."
