    Re: So what do you think about this????

    I drove past my local McDonald's tonight (Boston area) and they were advertising on Monday March 13, from 12pm-2pm, that all dine-in customers can order 1 **FREE** Medium Extra Value Meal. It appears to be any Medium Extra Value Meal on their regular menu.

    The signage appeared to be corporate, so there be other restaurants offering the same deal

    Re: So what do you think about this????

    I work very hard for my money and if I am going to give it to Mcdonalds or any other place I am going to get what I want.. I WILL order fries with no salt so they will be HOT not wilted and cold with 3 hours worth of salt caked on them. I will order coke no ice because I dont like ice so why pay for something I dont like and if there is something on the burger that I dont like then I will tell them to take it off and I have no problems waiting for my order and if the person behind me does then they obviously dont understand the meaning of a line.. you WAIT for the person in front of you.. but that is just me and if it makes me a ***** oh well LOL


    and yes I have worked in Fast food Mcdonalds included.

    I LOVE COLD SALTY FRIES AT MCDONALDS!!! LOL...truly I do. I think thats what made them famous in my family...haha...the more salt the better. My McDonalds must premake some of there food also, because everytime you order a bigmac, the freaking bun is hard...that makes me mad. I also order our burgers without onions here. I just get mad at my McDonalds, because they are stingy with their condiments.

    So..... I think they should go to Denny's or a "real" restaurant if they want something special done to their food, especially if you need special food restrictions for your health... why are you eating fast food anyway????

    Maybe this belongs in Vent/Whine... Feel free to move it, I am just basically asking a question...
    I am definately one of those people who goes to a fast food place and request unsalted fries. One reason being, I have a medical condition that causing me to swell and i dont need the added salt plus when you order unsalted fries, they are guaranteed hot.

    Besides, if they want my money, they will try to accomodate my order.

    I honestly didn't know you could order them unsalted. They do salt them too much, I wish they would leave them unsalted and let me salt them to my liking. I do dislike when they are stingy with the ketchup or sweet and sour sauce. My local Wendy's decided to start charging 25 cents per bbq or sweet and sour sauce. Drives me up the wall, finish paying, ask for your sauce and they say sorry another 50 cents! I think some people go overboard with special orders (my SIL orders salad and makes them pick out the types of lettuce she doesn't like!) but when it comes to no onions or no salt, it seems rather reasonable.

    I always get diet coke because I am diabetic. Yeah, it's really great for me to be eating up all that greasy food, but sometimes it's sooooooooo good. The only thing I request is extra pickles. I think it's fine for people to have "special orders" especially when you work so hard for your money. I do compliment good workers and I have on occasion told them when I have really great fries or a good burger(Is there really a good burger at Mickey D's? LOL) or whatnot. We were at McDonald's tonight and some punky kids came in asking for a McFlurry and the one kid only had like a $1.90 and so the service worker took money from his pocket to make up the difference. The other 2 kids asked for cups for water and they started to get pops and I said to my husband what nerve after the guy chipped in and then the manager came and told them no pop unless you pay.

    Did you not know what your hourly wage would be when you started? I'd imagine you did. But why would I want to pay $4 for a something that I wouldn't feed my dog because it's got crap on it that even she won't eat? I'd bet you'd hate me. I order everything I eat plain. And I check my order before I drive off. I'm not wasting more of my time to drive home, see it's got mayo or whatever on it just to drive back and have the people scape the crap off.

    A guy told my Dad one time when he asked for honey mustard "I like them without it" because he was too damned lazy to go and get more honey mustard.

    I haven't eaten in a fast food establishment in 15 yrs. I will not eat at one - my mother & sis were on their death beds from eating at MacD's. I do not know what was in the hamburger - they were both vomiting blood, and blood coming out the other end. It was like the hamburgers had fiberglass in them... All beef (whatever they claim to be using as beef) should be cooked well done.
    Don't worry about what people think. They don't do it very often.

    I dont have to worry about it cause I dont eat at Fast food places the joys of not having any in our town.

    As for not being thanked I just have to say you can have one of the most important jobs in the world and you know what you dont get many TY....

    I take calls everyday from people and I dont get thank yous and I guess I dont expect them because I figure I am just doing my job. I am getting paid for a service I chose to do. I dunno *shrug*

    Re: So what do you think about this????

    I am one of those picky people also. I want my fries hot, I want my sandwich hot and with no lettuce, and without anything that I happen to think is especially icky that day, Somedays ketchup gets me...lol. And if you make a mistake and give me my sandwich with lettuce, I will tell someone about it, and I expect to get a fresh sandwich without lettuce, if I just wanted to scrape the lettuce off I could do that myself. I work hard for my money, and expect to be able to get things my way. I have to try to please ppl in my line of work also, but I keep trying because I'd rather remake something than be in the unemployment line.
