AIBU re McDonalds

[silveroldie2]

I rarely eat McDonalds, maybe a couple of times a year, went into my local one earlier and ordered a quarter pounder, fries and chocolate shake. I was told no shake, so I said ok, strawberry, they said nope, scraping the bottom of the barrel I then said ok, vanilla. They said no.

What the hell is the world coming to? McDONALDS HAVE STOPPED SELLING MILK SHAKES!!!!! Instead they have smoothies made with yogurt which is yuk and the spawn of the devil.

AIBU to say that this is outrageous and to demand our shakes back? I'm off to write my banner for picketing later.

Creme egg mcflurry

Why do all McDonalds threads on MN start with a disclaimer?

I eat there twice a week whilst at work. No disclaimer needed here!!
I burn it off I'm sure:)
Have only worked there for 3 months.....

Heyyyyyy Derek is back

I must be living in a parallel universe or something because I've never had a McDonalds run out of stuff. But Whoppers are better than Big Macs anyways. best is Five Guys at Covent Garden though

Yay, Derek is indeed back!

I'm pregnant and craving blaming baby but the reality is I love MDs a McDonalds burger so damn much right now. I knew I was BU to click on this

that is outrageous OP
and the burgers are smaller than they used to be.

Dunno Worra but it's true. I know they are pretty crap but figure one very occasionally won't kill me.

I'm pleased that shakes haven't been taken off the menu - it means I don't have to look stupid picketing out on the street and can leave it another six months before my next McD safe in the knowledge that shakes are still sold .

I love a McD's quarter pounder with cheese meal.

But I don't understand the fuss over McFlurrys. They always taste so bland to me.

What I want to know is why did they stop selling root beer and cinnamon doughnuts, they were my faves.

Do they really do vanilla milkshakes in the UK?! I don't think I knew that. Do they still do banana ones in UK McDonald's? They don't do them over here, and they're my favourite. The vanilla ones are an OK substitute though, mostly.

I remember having an argument with a McDonald's employee on another forum after they complained to another McD employee about how stupid their customer was for specifiying 'with cheese' when they ordered a Quarter Pounder (presumably the employee had then called back to the grill for a QP but not said 'with cheese'). Apparently this was stupid of the customer because there is no such thing as a QP without cheese.

The McD employee really, really could not grasp why it wasn't all that peculiar that a customer would think that if there's such a thing as a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, that that would probably suggest there was also one without cheese. I suspect they didn't know what the 'quarter pounder' in Quarter Pounder referred to.

Vanilla or chocolate milkshake with fries to dip, om nom nom nom.

Sorry but RonaldMconald saying McDs would not miss their custom made me

EatShitDerek you're back....yay :)

I have McD once a week, and they have not had milk shakes for 4 weeks now

Vanilla is my fave.

It is a dreary motorway one which I pass every Monday, in the South, where is your failing one OP?

They used to do a banana and chocolate milkshake that was amazing

Ok. I really need a chocolate milkshake right now. This very second.

I want McDonald's now.

Derek, I remember you're McDonald's thread. Welcome back by the way.

Milkshake flavours are, in popularity order... strawberry, chocolate, banana and vanilla:)

I have not had a macdonalds milkshake for over 15 years.
But now i really do need one.

Some McDonalds are owned by McDonalds.
Some are actually franchises.

They sometimes sell slightly different things (and at different prices) depending on whether they are McDonalds or McDonalds franchises.

I love McDonalds. Although I always have something chicken and I've never actually had a beef burger from there

The strawberry milkshakes are the nuts for squashing pregnancy heartburn, except the last time I drove to get one I ended up with a nail in my tyre. Bloody milkshake cost me.eighty quid

Still do them: www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/product_nutrition.drinksshakes.86.strawberry-milkshake.html
You can even check the ingredients here.

The difference between UK and USA shake ingredients is interesting:
