What did you really expect from someone being paid $7 an hour to work one of the crummiest jobs known to man?
An appropriate, normal human being answer of, "Sorry, we were really bogged down, may I please take your order."

That's asking a lot I'd say. Not to worry though, that manager will be working at another fast food restaurant before the day is out, maybe even with better pay since she has "experience".

I know plenty of people who have done time in fast food restaurants, and they don't care. To them it's just a job, a crummy easily replaceable job. You sound like a genuinely good customer but they don't know that, you could just be another jerk trying to get free food.

That's what I'm saying.


Plus, I don't understand why the experience was "mind boggling" to you. Mind-boggling would be if she donned a gorilla suit and sang the star spangled banner.


Plus, your overreaction of having your wife threaten to stop purchasing from them is just as out of line as her attitude. You're just weilding your power and wealth over a member of the lower class like a certain admin weilds his ban button. Yes, she should be reprimanded, but based solely the level of her indiscretion.

Comparing price is meh when it comes to fast food. If you really care about saving your buck you'd be better off making your own hamburgers. Although I do understand how it is when you have kids, but that's one of the prices you pay. Smiley: tongue

Usually when I go to mcdonalds I get a double quater pounder meal with no cheese and just kechup. Comes out to be about $6.50ish. Honestly I just wish there was a White Castle near me so that I could split a crave case with a friend or two. I also wish they didn't get rid of the pizza hut near us, $5.25 for a lunch buffet was full of awesome.

In general, I agree. But if you have two places equidistant and the food is essentially the same, why not pick the place that's cheaper?

I hate a White Castle by me both at work and at home. So be jealous.

I don't know about you, but I consider the meat part of the burger to be more defining than how much bread they stuff into the wrapper.

I've had both. I eat out daily for lunch. It's the same burger. Well, except that the Whopper has a significant upcharge for cheese. Which is pretty retarded.


Just going to add something shocking. I totally disagree with you. To me, it's the "bread and other stuff" that makes a burger worth paying for. Not the meat. Especially not the meat at a fast food restaurant, and triply not so when we're talking about the difference between how McD's "cooks" their meat versus how BK does it.

I'll take a smaller patty on a burger that's got more veggies, lettuce, onions, and condiments any day over one with a larger patty but with practically nothing else. There's a reason the "restaurant style burgers" are such a big deal right now. People would rather spend a bit more for something that tastes good.

Sorry. I expect a burger to have more then just meat and bun. And the cheese thing is irrelevant. When I buy a whopper, I don't get cheese on it because it doesn't *need* cheese to make it taste good. It already does. Take the cheese off a QP and you've got something even worst tasting then that burger already is. Maybe you're ok with just eating "something", but for me, even if I'm looking at fast food, I'll buy something that tastes good and maybe at least appears to be a bit less horrible for my body, and McD's is pretty much at the bottom of the list (not that BK is high up there either, but it's miles above McD's).


I don't feel like arguing prices either. I could go drive through the two places and tell you what the prices are here (I *know* that a QP is more expensive then a whopper, but that doesn't help you much where you live), but it's just not worth my time. I do know that when I was eating fast food regularly, I would occasionally be forced to grab food at McD's (cause they tend to stay open later and there are more of them). I would try to order what appeared to be the same amount of food as my standard order when I'd go to BK, and it always ended up being less food, less tasty food, and about $1.50 more expensive.

Sarcasm, meet Joph...

Hehe. Anyway, you know that things have sunk to a new low when we're arguing about freaking fast food, right? I stopped buying fast food about 6 months ago, so it's all moot anyway. I'm right of course though... ;)

Every time gbaji says "in my belly" or "my body" or "fills me up," I get more than a little disgusted.

Keep your greasy imagery to yourself.

life is too short. You don't know what **** she has going on her life. People have bad days. Maybe she's a ***** all the time but you could have given her the benefit of the doubt.

If you had asked my store number and my name I would have been just as pissed off. Sometimes you don't get service. So don't go back. No one is forcing you to make the place good. If the store ***** up it ***** up. You got your ice cream why not just walk out instead of obviously creating a scene with the girl by asking her for her information.

I would have been angry in your position too but I wouldn't have QQ'd about it and gotten everyone riled up.

Not me. I want a burger with as few toppings as I can get away with or with only the toppings that don't ruin the taste of the greasy horrid meat and the cheese. McDonald's $1 double cheeseburgers with meat, cheese, bun and ketchup only are all I order there. And at Burger King, remove everything but the meat and tomatos, and add cheese please.

I disagree and require a cite on that. All fast food burgers are better with cheese.

I work at Subway and everyone there regularly gives customers shit, if i don't like you or i'm having bad day i'm going to either ignore you or tell you to fuck off if you annoy me.
Noone cares about the job, it's minumum wage, i'm not there to ensure that you have a pleasurable subway experince i'm there to get away with as little work as possible and then go home.

I understand where you're coming from, if i was a customer who came in for a sandwhich and was confronted with me i'd be annoyed. So empathise with you and the manager, do what you're going to do, i doubt it'll make much difference either way.

Ewol and Sam are exact examples of why teenagers should never be allowed to get a job. There are more mature people out there who understand the value of a buck and realize that a minimum wage job is still good on a resume for a much better job if you put in your time and get a sterling reference. Additionally, I expect this crap out of an employee at a store, but not the manager. Managers are paid higher than regular grunts, but you both obviously missed that point.

You're willing to make generalizations about teenagers based on two retards on a forum? Go you.

I ate McDonald's twice today:

Breakfast
- McGriddle w/ Egg and Cheese only
- OJ

Lunch
- 10 piece McNugget meal (fries and a coke included)

I will always be an avid consumer of Mickeydees. I crave their food and when I am sick nuggets always make me feel better.

Burger King gives me the poos.
