McDonalds - I'm Lovin' It

[AnOminous]

Managers at Macdonald's have no respect for their customers nor the food they serve and only care about making their minimum wage income.

Stay away from ghetto fast food unless you like food poisoning. I know the guy who runs the local McDonald's and anyone who pulled that shit would be instantly fired. Dude has a giant stick up his ass. Still, everything is clean and fast. The line can be around the corner of the restaurant and they get you through in 10 minutes while, by comparison, the Wendy's a block up the street can take ten minutes to get a simple hamburger when you are literally the only person in line.

Oh nice, a McDonald's thread! I knew becoming a wagie would be worth it someday.

I worked at MacDonald's when I was in college.
Rats were scouring the place and had to clean up shit tons of those dead rodents.

Sorry you had to go through that. If it makes you feel better, though, I genuinely don't think that's the norm anymore. I don't deny that completely revolting McDonald's franchises exist, but a store is really only as good as its local department of health. My local health inspector will summon Bahamut to tear the whole fucking store down if we're not completely up to code, so our food is always rigorously cooked and tested for safety. But as everyone knows, no oversight means no regulation. You might be fine at your average suburban McDonald's, but if you live in the ghetto, you're taking your stomach's life into your hands every time you walk in.

Their pancakes and eggs are dry as ever. Pancake would be as stiff as a board. Just make your own or go somewhere else.

Hash browns are to die for, not going to lie.

So true. Hash browns and a Sausage Egg and Cheese are probably the only thing I will ever eat from their breakfast menu (okay, maybe a burrito too). I will never understand why people purchase hotcakes, because making them is easily one of the worst parts of my morning. We have to take the hotcakes out and microwave them for a minute or something, and for that length of time the entire kitchen is absolutely choked out by the smell of fake french vanilla and sugar. Since kitchen doesn't have any meaningful ventilation, making one of these fuckers is like being anally vored by the Pillsbury Doughboy for the next half hour.

Also if your eggs are dry, that's because they've been sitting in the warmer so long that all the moisture in them has evaporated. You can get around this by asking for them fresh, although it's kind of a hit or miss as to whether kitchen will actually honor your request.

The latter part of that probably isn’t the worst thing. Their portion sizes back in the day were much smaller than in recent years (I mean comparing the 1950s to now), and so people’s sizes were also smaller.

Hot take (maybe): the McRib is fucking disgusting and I loath to see it come out for limited release. I have no idea why people get so excited for it.

Ditto on McRib. The sauce is syrupy sweet and the meat is the closest thing to vulcanized rubber this side of a Goodyear. The smaller portion sizes are also true, if only because you can't Super Size anything anymore. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because honestly if you need more than just the sandwich and a small fries (at most) to fill you up, you have bigger problems than fast food portion sizes.

McDonald's is full of fat and salt, thus hell on your system. Also why people love it.
If I go I only get fresh fries, no salt. Still greasy.

I know this is a baitpost but I have seen so many orders from people who are trying to "cheat the system" by going to McDonald's and substituting their way to a healthier burger. It gets painfully obvious when they ask for a Big Mac, no salt, no bun, extra lettuce and tomato on the side. Like, at some point, you have to make your own food. A burger is still a burger, no matter how much nutritionally worthless roughage you add into it.

I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.
She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again.

Don't you have a federal trial to attend?

The temptation was too great, had to act like Reviewbrah and get the new Crispy Chicken Sandwich because I was just dying to know how McDonalds is trying to compete with Popeye's and Chick-Fil-A. I got Spicy because I'm a big tough guy

My verdict: probably the best sandwich McDonalds sells now. I dunno if it's just the new fry batter clouding my judgement but it seemed like McDonalds is actually paying a little more money to get a decent cut of meat. Definitely blows the soggy dogshit they call the McChicken out of the water. True to it's name the fried chicken was actually crispy and the sauce they used was tasty.

I'd rate it 4/5. Would eat again but Chick-Fil-A and Popeyes's is still way better. But still the convenience with McD's being on my daily commute makes it a solid buy.

Hope they keep it in regular rotation, It'd be something I'd buy once a month.

I'm surprised we haven't made a thread on this yet (I double-checked, and if I'm wrong, show me the thread and I'll delete this one)

That's because McDonalds doesn't make actual food

McDonald's is pretty low tier imo. I'd rather go to just about any other fast food place. The one near me has a big problem with homeless people. Panhandling in the drive thru, doing drugs in the restrooms, digging through trash in the restaurant, yelling nonsensical shit at customers, sitting around outside.

If you go to ghetto locations, you'll get ghetto shit. It's unavoidable especially with chain fast food places. That said, local fried chicken places in sketchy neighborhoods are among the best and if you're the only white guy in line and it's a long line, it's often very good. Too bad race relations are such shit currently or I'd do it more often, but I've never had a problem. Nobody wants to disrupt their own access to fried chicken over some bullshit.

Fried chicken, the only antiracist measure that works.

So PL but I live in Italy.
Fast food is usually a family owned shop making sandiwches, pizza or a bar.
But Mc'donalds is the only one allowed to operate more or less freely under covid restrictions amd you know what pisses me off about that?
They have esponentially decreased in quality, like we are talking vanilla milkshakes that taste like bananas, unsalted fries, burgers with pieces of bone in the meat.
And it makes me angry because unlike other place they have a huge budget behind and didn't suffer as much.
Fuck them.

The McRib is permanently on the menu since it was introduced somewhere in the 1980's here in Germany. Popular as fuck and I don't know exactly why tho.

I haven't been in one for quite some time. After quitting meat there's no reason for me to go there anymore.
Can't say that I miss it or any other Fast Food joints.

You could go for one of these.

This is literally the worst thing that Germany has ever done.

I absolutely don't know why this thing is so popular, IMHO it's literal shit between two bread slices.

Well, Germany is known for being big into Scheiße porn....

 

[Mediocre]

Had a Big Mac meal and a what the 'mericans call a McChicken on the side today, a tasty treat tbh.

 

[mindlessobserver]

So I have tried McDonalds new chicken sandwich. Its honestly very good. Far better then it has any right too be. I hesitate to say its as good as Chic Fil A, but its definitely better then pretty much anyone elses. Including the Popeyes sandwich.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm not going to eat anything that isn't fish before Easter.

 

[XYZpdq]

I heard the new Mc D chicken isn't bad, but not a great value for the price compared to the traditional Mc Chicken for a buck
