To think that primary school aged children do not need...

[geordieminx]

large extra value meal with a milkshake you could bath in, followed by a mcfluffy?

Am at macs (had d+v so couldn't face cooking for ds, si happy meal and water as a rare treat)

Woman on next table, 3 kids, eldest 2 must have been 6-8? Huge big mac meals, trough of chips, milkshakes and mcfluffys?

Christ that's surely a weeks worth of kcal and fat???

Her smallest child was then sick all over the floor... She just left it for staff to clean lazy slattern

Am

I've calculated that Big Mac, French Fries Large, Banana Milkshake Large, and a Smarties McFlurry is 1825kcal.

I suppose that is a lot.

I had a face mask and sterile gloves on....

WassaAxolotlEgg - ha ha too much time on your hands????

Maybe her kids had just been running around the park, or were about to.

Maybe they only go once in a blue moon.

Maybe your kids would have enjoyed a milk shake, as I cant see how water is a "treat".

good wind up Geordi

honestly it's not funny

a close relative died from a complication of D and V

I'm outta here

OP - surely you knew you would get a hard time for posting this?

You have D&V - something that children get kept at home from school for - and yet you think it's fine to go to eat somewhere which is likely to be full of children.

And the fact that you are judging someone else for feeding their kids rubbish when you are eating in McDonald's is hilarious...

The big mac is 490 kcal, the fries (i'll be generous to the OP and go for large) come out at 500 kcal and the drink (I'll go for large, normal coke, again being generous) comes to 210 kcal so a total of 1200 calories. And that's taking into account the worst choices they may have made.

God I really have too much time on my hands!

x-post with Wassa

OP how old are yur kids?

My 9 year old have had a bigmac meal since he was about 8 my 7 year old is beeginning to need more than a happy meal too there is nothing much in them.

we go to Mac D's perhaps once every 3 months so when we go frankly I could care less if they eat 3000 calories we go for fun and enjoyment and food should be just that at times. We do not go for a balanced healthy meal. We do that other times Mac D is pure frivelous silly fat filling milkshaking burger loving FUN.

clearly Im a bad mum too laughs

Occasionally after playing football on a Saturday my husband will take DS1 (9) to McD's, they do the double cheeseburger challenge, yup you guessed it, who can consume the mose cheesburgers, and here is me slaving at home over an organic chicken risotto

Who am I to spoil their manly fun.

maybe she was hoping to eat their leftovers :o

i agree its bordering on cruelty to make children eat carrot sticks in mcdonalds. sadly ds never leaves any of his fries

epic fail, OP

op admitted it was a wind up.

MrSpoc - they don't have cleaners - the staff are the cleaners.
and they get paid very poorly for what they end up having to do.

(I would hope that someone would apologise at least for giving me vomit to clean up. I don't why I would, though, they never did in real life)

nickelbabe - my first job at 16 was McDonalds and they have cleaners. Its the ones in plain black shirts. So yes its their job.

Perhaps they were orphans and only get fed once a year so had to consume as much as they could, and because they aren't used to food that was why they were sick?

for you to tell it was the large version then you would need to be a mcd regular!!

you only get a few extra fries for 'going' large dont you??

bastards!
At Burger King, the normal members of staff had to do the cleaning as part of their duties.
Are you sure they weren't just the DA (dining area) staff?
we were all trained in all aspects, but some members of staff were always assigned certain areas cos they were good at it.

)sprry x-posts - that was to MrSpoc)

I think ur wrong Geordi, I think that they were very sheltered kids from a posh family from down south, they have heard lots about the magical place called McDonalds so when they were on a road trip up north they decided to stop. Guess what now they are addicted.

at buying water in McD's too!

come on OP, own up?
you were in there on your own weren't you?

ravenous after D&V and you felt bad for going without the kids, so you've opened a nice judgey thread hoping we'll agree so you can feel so good about leaving the kids behind

MY dd will only have water at Maccy Ds... [smug]

Not sure Nickelbabe. I just know my old store and another near had full time cleaners but ur right if you were on the tills then you sometimes had to clean the floor when it got busy.
