Fuck you, McDonald's

Those of you only interested in telling me I'm unreasonable for eating in McDonald's, can save your fingers. I'm not going to be back in a hurry, Christmas fucking music (Noddy Holder followed by Tom Jones) and worse, they've changed the barbecue sauce and now it's minging. I came in here for some emotional eating and I'm leaving enraged. Angry

Sweet Curry sauce has always been the way to go

Please don’t change the fillet of fish 🙏 🙏

What have the done to the sauce? I don’t want it without bbq sauce, it’s like KFC without the gravy 🤷‍♀️ pointless.

I love a maccies so no judgement here. Sorry it was shit. Noddy Holder before December is just a crime to the earholes.

Christmas music in Asda today, I only went in for a Pudsey t-shirt for DS

Whiteday · 15/11/2023 19:23

Tom Jones Christmas music you say? That's not unusual Grin

Gerrataere · 15/11/2023 19:23

@EllaMenopee they now have two BBQ sauce, one Smokey and one normal. Maybe they accidentally gave you the Smokey one?

Last few times I’ve had a Maccys it’s not been great. Bar the new sour cream and chive dip, that is immense. Better than Dominoes one!

@Screamingabdabz could have been worse, could have been the dreaded Mariah.

One branch I go to it's not just Christmas music - it's so fecking LOUD. It's not a nightclub 🙄
I actually put a review on Tripadvisor saying "turn the music down".
And they ran out of Squishmallows far too quickly.
Pah.

sings

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Has a ton upon his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

screeches

It'sss Chrrriiissstttmmmaaasss!

I love a McDs but way too early for Christmas music!

(Also waiting for someone to come along and show disdain at the fact you ate at maccy- “Can’t believe you eat the food there. Yuck. Completely grim. If I need a quick lunch then I only go to the independent artisan bread cafe with locally sourced ingredients”

Lovemydoggie · 15/11/2023 19:26

Use the drive through…saves you having to listen to that shit 😂

Needmorelego · 15/11/2023 19:26

I was actually going to start a thread about their syrup that goes with the breakfast pancakes. Does anyone know if you can buy a similar type in the supermarket? They don't call it "Maple Syrup" but I don't know if that's what it essentially is.
Thanks.

Great reply 😅

Asda have been playing Christmas music since last week!

What have they done to the barbecue sauce?? It's my favourite!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 15/11/2023 19:30

Oh no! I only get BBQ sauce! There's two now?!

Wait for it. "YABU to go to McDonalds in the first place it's vile."

Ridiculous to be actually going inside now you can order it from your phone to the car park and eat it in glorious solitude

I agree, I suspect @EllaMenopee has been given the shitty smokey BBQ sauce, rather than the normal BBQ sauce.

I accidentally got the smokey bbq sauce, thinking it was the normal one. It is absolutely horrible.
Now I make sure I get the normal bbq sauce.

Yep, it was the smokey bullshit. I wasn't aware there was an option, I stupidly thought it was new packaging. Note, the actual tub doesn't mention that it's smokey, I only discovered when my doused chip was in my gob.

I assume the Maccy haters are too weak after their massive salads to type.

I hate Xmas songs. Most of them are like 100 years old repeat repeat. And on every music channel . Why can't they have just 1 Xmas music channel

I used to like mcdonalds. I'm not sure of my taste buds have changed or if it's just got shit. Either way it now tastes like card board

BlankWindow · 15/11/2023 19:34

Okay but have you listened to Bob Dylan’s Christmas song? I only heard it for the first time last year and it’s good.
