So Swales, what sort of take-away do you enjoy when you're a bit peckish

If you require further convincing, I suggest you read both Fast Food Nation and Fat Land before consuming another Big Mac.

"I'm aware their food is unhealthy, I'm aware their staff is shit, I'm aware of a lot of things about McDonald's."

I'm aware that your an asshole!

There's really nothing wrong with McDonalds. But agreed you shouldnt eat there everyday - diet is all about balance and variety.

but "their staff is shit" what the hells that about? we're people too - it's food preperation - and it's done to the highest possible standard.

nutritional information for everything is available and I havent seen Supersize me so I can't say how accurate it is but I have heard that some of his information is fictitious.

but dont slam the staff at McDonalds 'cos I work there and my friends work there - and alright it may not be a glam job but I've made some good mates and I'm very happy there.

problem is people think that because you work for a fast food outlet you MUST be thick as shit - Now I know I'm not.

Might be worth watching the DVD and then giving us the story from your side of the fence.


Admittedly, the film is a bit biased, although they DO show a guy who has eaten there every day for about 20 years and never put on weight, so it's a little bit balanced.


But you have to admit Charles, that not all the staff are as on the ball as you - I've been served by some goonshows in my time, as well as some decent people.

in my experience most mcd's staff are a pickle short of a big mac

[= KA$H =]

Why is it whenever I tell the staff that I want a Coke with NO ICE, they say "sure" and proceed to slap down a Coke WITH ICE on my tray.

EVERY McDonald's I've been in, WHOEVER is serving me.

The same shit everytime.

This annoys me a great deal.

[philipswales]

Well, do you send it back and demand what you ordered?

Or do you slope off and say nothing like most lily-livered Brits?


If you don't complain, nothing will change, my friend.
