to think McDonald's have lost the main idea of "fast food"

I don’t understand why they don’t use dark kitchens like many other restaurants do

And part of your order will be ready but not the rest.

By the time it's all ready the things that were cooked first are cold!

Exactly. It pisses me off when I place an order, and several people who came in after me get served first. Of COURSE that is going to piss people off - because of the unfairness.

🙄

I bet you think 'nobody uses facebook anymore' either. And think sending greetings cards is out of date, and for saddoes. (Along with other patronising assumptions.)

I'm not deliberately making anyone's life more difficult. I'm just a customer in a queue wanting to be served before the person behind me - it's weird how these days that's seen by some as an unacceptable attitude to have.

Why??!

It's a PITA isn't it? There are soooo many people these days, who can't be fucked to get off their arse and walk (or drive) to the fucking place. Yes I know there may be a few exceptions of people who can't get there, but they are few and far between, compared to the people who are just bone idle.

Those singing things were the most annoying toy ever created. Fuck me I was glad when they broke.

I love their food and the brand but, yes, it takes 20-30mins to get round the drive through and I gave up ordering delivery as it was taking up to 2 hours. So I dont eat it that often as a result

It's all the Deliveroo and Uber delivery drivers that's holding everything up. It's the same story everywhere I go nowadays,whether it's Subway, McDonald's or Burger King. There's always quite a few delivery drivers waiting for their order. I think the restaurants must give them priority.

My belief is that we all have it within our power to make other people’s lives a bit better or a bit shitter. I prefer to do the former and think that if we all do that life would be better in general.

If you’re deliberately making life difficult for employees by refusing to let them do their job the way they’ve been told to do it and you’re slowing down the queue behind you in order to get your burger a few minutes quicker I’d say that’s going to make both groups of people’s lives a little shitter therefore increasing the enshittening of life.

Does anyone over the age of 20 go to McDonalds?

Have a day off, eh?

#Macdonalds happy meal toys 🧸 plastic tat crap for envoriment,

McDonald's food not even much better too

Ice creams and milkshakes that's it are OK in taste...

Haven't seen the appeal for ages really..

Our drive thru always forgets to put the straws in, so annoying.
Its a rare treat but I still love it on occasion.
At the height of the pandemic I really craved a McDonald’s ! I also remember having morning sickness and thinking I’d die if I didn’t have a mcchicken sandwich.
But yes, deliveroo people really slow it down these days. 9 times out of ten they ask you to park in the bay and wait.

Agree about the worsening service, but that is common to many so-called fast food places.

Though less sympathy if you use a drive-thru instead of parking and walking into the building.

I agree with everything on this thread. I do really like a well cooked, hot McPlant meal, my kids love the veggie happy meals and we all like a McFlurry. However the quality of the meals seems to decline and decline (whichever one we go to - many, because it's just an occasional tea for us on a day trip/travelling etc) and the wait is longer and longer and the mistakes made more and the unavailability of items increases. We haven't been for months now. I actually prefer a greggs I think with the kids now but in winter there's often not anywhere to sit in with them is the only issue.

Genuinely? A lot of people are fucking lazy, under the guise of being “busy”. Some people are too busy to get food unless it is cooked for them and delivered.
But for every one of them, there’s about 57,000 who can’t be arsed and have got used to everything being instantly delivered.

I so agree. The local kebab place is soo much quicker. And there’s loads of salad on the doner ‘babs (with double tomato garlic sauce) that we get!

Are you ordering a Filet? That's the only thing that takes any time in my experience (and DC hate it when I order one).

And it's been my experience in lots of other countries too, I've never been able to understand it.

Saying no isn't cunty nor is requesting an order to be correct.
The idea behind macdeees is fast and if that isn't happening, then.....
Is this back to the UK being shit at service again?

Obviously being threatened is not on.

How are things ever going to get better if we just bend over and take the increasing enshittification of life without kicking back? Why should I feel guilty about being served in a queue in the right order? And when did I become responsible for how other people treat retail employees?

It had never occurred to me to do this but I'd hardly describe it as cunty.

Totally agree. I feel like a failure as a parent when I take my children there. There are so many quicker and healthier options - it’s just convenience that keeps me going back. I don’t think the DC really enjoy it either. It’s the sign I’ve had a really low mental health week if we end up there. When I’m coping with life, the idea of going makes me fill a bit sick.
Everyone judges people who eat McDonalds, even if it’s secretly.

Thought so.. 😅😂
