I haven't ate there in quite a while. I drove by one Tuesday and seen the arch. I instantly got hungery and wanted something from there. I didn't stop and a few minutes later I was fine.
Funny how a place can have that effect on a person. |

There's two'ish places, and one of them is Greek. 
The only McDonald's items that I eat are either McDoubles, or Chicken Nuggets, because if wanted to spend any more than that, I would go and get a real burger from the Culver's that's nearby. 
Edit: Unrealted, but why in the blue fuck does Culver's not sell poutine? They're from Wisconsin, and they have all of the ingredients already on the menu, why can't they toss them all into one of those cardboard boats and sell it for a few bucks?

Nope. There's nothing extraordinary about they way they're cooked. The patties - frozen rock-hard - are placed on a flat steel grill. A burger timer is started. Temperature of the grill is closely monitored. The patties sear on the grill until the timer tells the "chef" to flip 'em. Then they cook on the grill some more until the timer tells the "chef" to remove them. IIRC, it takes several minutes to turn a hockey puck of frozen hamburger into a fully-cooked patty.

When I worked there they had a clamshell grill cook the top and bottom at the same time. You cooked 12 of the 1:10 patties or six of the 1:4 patties at a time. I preferred working the grill because I didn't have to deal with customers. |

Is there any McD's still using open grills?  99.9% of the ones I've seen have been using the clamshell for eons. It's flat steel, with a closable lid that is also heated (and covered with a replaceable teflon cover.) You set the time, temp & height - then all you do is place the patties, close the lid & wait. When the lid comes up, you season the patties, then toss them in a plastic tray that goes into a holding bin. Burgers are "prepared" to order - they toast the bun, nuke the meat & slap that thing together.

McDonalds needs to realize what they are - quick and easy food.
If I am in a rush to get somewhere and I haven't eaten, McD is a "known decent" (trying to be nice) burger and uh "fries" If I am going out to get lunch at work, I'll take a 5 guys, Shake Shack, small restaurant burger over them every single day of the week. They simply can't compete with good food at their rising prices. |

Quoted: I and others here old enough to know have complained that the McDs of today is not the McDs of yore. It appears they might be listening after 25 years. McDonald’s is tinkering with how it cooks its burgers, with the aim of winning back customers. McDonald’s said it would toast its hamburger buns longer so sandwiches would be warmer, and change the way it sears and grills its beef so that the patties are juicier. "It’s these little things that add up to big differences for our customers,” the chief executive, Steve Easterbrook, said at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference in New York. Mr. Easterbrook, who stepped into his role March 1, said the changes were part of the company’s recommitment to "tastier food across the menu.” He also said the company would, as many of its rivals have, stop reporting monthly sales. I am cautiously optimistic. I'll bet this "change" means using frozen hamburger patties. Much cheaper to cook it in a factory. |

Mcdonald's hate always makes me laugh. I don't hate them, I just don't understand why anyone would eat there when Wendy's is the same price for the most part, but the product (at least the burgers) aren't even in the same league. A junior cheeseburger deluxe, for instance, is so much better than a McDouble that I just don't understand how the McDonald's burgers have been able to retain popularity. |

Put the FSA entitlement aside for a moment, and answer truthfully and logically: Were the other purchased items unserviceable? Yes, or No? If they were unservicable, she could have returned them for refund. If you buy a Pressure Washer at Walmart, can you throw it in the trash and demand a refund? Of course not. You can't even do this at Costco, and they are noted for customer service. |

Wait till the machines start demanding $15.00 an hour too. Needs a McDonalds visor on it. http://cdn.bearingarms.com/uploads/2014/10/the-terminator-3-rise-of-the-machines-wallpaper.jpg I wish Point of Sale tech was that interesting... I had to go look at the pdf I've got - I don't have a picture handy of the kiosks - but they are calling it "Create Your Taste". I believe it's already in some test market locations (San Diego ?) |

I don't work customer service, I work with machines. This is by design, because I don't like dealing with emotional outbursts. The Morality part, is about expecting something for nothing. One undercooked burger, and you expect Two free meals. Put the FSA entitlement aside for a moment, and answer truthfully and logically: Were the other purchased items unserviceable? Yes, or No? If they were unservicable, she could have returned them for refund. If you buy a Pressure Washer at Walmart, can you throw it in the trash and demand a refund? Of course not. You can't even do this at Costco, and they are noted for customer service. In food service if you provided inedible food that ruins the experience of the purchaser it's customary to try and make them happy it's a far cry from an overly demanding customer. It's one thing if you provide a steak that's a shade too cooked and demanding a refund it's a whole other thing when the food is inedible. There were no demands made only the expectation of decent service, when that wasn't rendered we chose to not dine with them again there's no moral or FSA attitude associated with my opinion they received payment in full for everything other than the burger and we took our business elsewhere and made no scene. Your analogy doesn't apply in any way, durable good's don't equate with consumables especially if they haven't been consumed. There was no emotional outburst, you are drawing conclusions with a specious assumption. |

I'll admit it, came home from surgery yesterday and had the wife get me one of those big mac boxed meals. I ate the whole damn thing. 2 big macs, 2 cheese burgers, 2 fries, nuggets.. I'm not a mcd's eater, but I was hungry having not eaten for more than 18 hours previously and I wanted to get home before the pain kicked in, so mcd's was quick. It was disgusting but I still ate it. I'm not a regular McDonalds patron but...I was on a camping trip about 15 years ago where it rained heavy all weekend. The grill crapped out and everything was too damp to get a fire going, so we ate bologna, cold hot dogs and soggy potato chips for 3 days. The rainfall was not predicted to that degree, so we were totally unprepared. Looking back, we should have packed up and left the first day and I'm not sure why we stayed. We stopped at the first McDonalds we came across on the way home and I ordered two large size Big Mac meals just for myself. Honestly, it was one of the better meals I've ate in all my life. I can still vividly remember that first bite...it was like someone turned on a color machine in a B&W world. |

I love the mcdonalds snobbery that goes on every time one of these threads pops up here.. knowing damn well almost everyone here is an overweight fat fuck who eats everything in sight (me included)
yet they have "discerning palates" that are too good for mcd's, but in n out.. now THAT's a real burger joint. Puhleeze. Fast food is not meant to be fine dining, if you compare it to that you're doing it wrong. |

You can't even do this at Costco, and they are noted for customer service. Traditionally when a restaurant screws something up taste or preparation wise, they comp part of the meal or throw in a free desert. In cases with undercooked or rotten food (health dangers) an entirely new meal is brought out and fully comped. Sometimes free drinks are thrown in as well at swanky joints. If her food was indeed undercooked, I think a couple of free meal coupons were in order. |
