to think that the Macdonalds arguement is a bit out of date....

[stoppinattwo]

I dont think it is actually such a bad place/ organisation...fair enough sometimes the Macdonalds service/experience isnt always fantastic but on the whole I dont think its that bad anymore

well I think they are trying their best and dont always deserve the scorn they receive

I was just about to post this very thread. I stopped at McDs for tea after supermarket shop and was plannign my thread title over a double cheesburger!

ooooooooooh spooky Hobb

what sparked my thoughts off were the ronald macdonald houses located at various hospitals...alder hey in particular....made me think...weeeell their not really bad eggs in my book

But we will never get back the rainforests that were turned into pastureland....

their burgers arnt that wooden are they???

love the name hocus

I should point out that I love them. Always have done, always will do

I really like Macdonald's coffee. I KNOW it is crap, but it was all I could afford when I was a struggling student/early work years on the way to uni/office and now I have an acquired taste for it. Not the new posh cappuccino stuff, the manky filter stuff.

lol @ manky filter stuff....am right with you, that stuff got me through many a hungover morning.......supercharged my batteries .....i think they used to scape the bottom of the barrel for that stuff it was toxic!!!

As for this thread....I'm loving it

I hate McDonalds. You should read Fast Food Nation.

kimi ....that was awful!!!

Was that ok or should I have been more vociferous?

ok puzzlerocks...hit me with your arguement!!!...not fast food nations arguement, although i dont mind if you quote from their text

vocifer what.....purlease...this is a macdonalds thread, we are not wishing to eat a theasaurus

I think everyone who reads FFN stops eating at McDonalds for a year then gets drawn back in. I did.

I can go heavyweight..

How about the damn clown? Clowns scare the bejeezus out of me.

Hocus. I haven't eaten there since but I must admit I almost wanted to when pregnant. You know sometimes you just want something really dirty. Like a pot noodle.

oh yes but i think that is stephen kings fault not poor old ronald.....he doesnt coax kids into sewers.....

had a gorgeous sweet n sour pot noodle for dinner today.....my digestion is positively abused!!!!!

Oddly I love IT. I have a bit of a crush on Tim Curry.

I don't buy it because they don't let their staff join a union and in America they closed down an outlet and opened one fifty yards away to circumvent employment laws.

And they were first to introduce zero hours contracts.

They are a triumph of capitalism. It's up to every individuals political bias to decide if that is a good thing.

Yes. It only takes one visit. Then you are hooked.

When I was pregnant I kept craving KFC. Dp wasn't too happy as the nearest one was 15 miles away!

We go about twice a year and if I am being honest I bloody love Macdonalds.

These are great Ethically sound and bloody delicious but you have to go a long way.

BUT LFC....if those facts are correct, and they might not be completely accurate as there is positive nad negative reporting spin put on all kinds of stories, isnt that something that the employees should take up themselves...I mean there are enough of them?

why does that effect the consumer
