Crow_Nest Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Originally posted by leXX What I hate is the multi-pack crisps. Say you buy a pack of 12 Walkers cheese and onion, you think you are getting the equivilant of 12 bags of normal crisps, not so. The multi-pack crisps are only 25g, whereas the normal packs are 30g. Con or what?! What I really hate about McDonald's is the puny amount of fries they try to give you. I mean, they half fill the box and think you won't notice. I always tell them to make sure they fill the box up. Also, the amount of ice they put in their coke. You end up with more ice than coke. I used to work in McDonald's as a Saturday job when I was sixteen, and trust me folk's, everything is designed to con you out of your money. Having said all that, I just love a Big Mac and fries! Same in my country, even large fries, you just get like 5% more than regular fries. And the fillet o fish is 3 stinkin bux!!! Good thing right now its only $1.80!!!!!!

Surfnshannon Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I once complained about the amount of Criss-cut fries I got when I "Went Large" on a combo from Carls Jr. I wouldn't normally complain but there were only 3 goddamn fries in the box! It was after a long (3-4 hour drive) from the river. I was learning to drive stick shift...etc. Anyways...so I'm like WTF 3 fries! So we call the lady over to the table...and we ask "why only 3 fries?" and she replies "I"m only to fill the box up thats it" "But 3 fries take up the box?" "I'm not giving you anymore!" So I was pissed. When we were going to leave I was so goddamn hot! I marched straight up to the counter and asked the girl for her manager. "I am the manager" I replied hotly "Well what is your name?" She wouldn't tell me and she wasn't wearing a badge! So I left a rather disturbing email to Carls Jr about her piss poor attitude and a rather graphic discription of her. "Rather Chunky, piss poor attitude - face looks of disgust - mounds of zits...brown hair, white - stick up ass!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[RAA]-=Chi3f=- Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Originally posted by MMMPIE!!! I think that the summer 2 years ago I read about a woman who had found a fried lizard in her fries... YUCK!!! McDonalds is an international franchise.. err corporation. Anyway a lizard in the fries is considered a delicacy in.. oh say Thailand. My worst fast food experiences... 1) I asked for ketsup at the order and they gave me a bag full of those little packets. We used them for fake blood in our first Kung-Fu movie, lol. 2) My friend ordered a shake with his meal. He took a sip and spit it all over the wall by the register and cussed them out. He complained how "crappy it tasted" Needless to say my food tasted like "spit" after that. 3)This is the reason why I will never eat at KFC again.. My friend Mike moved to Portland his Junior year in HS. He got in trouble and had to do some time in the Juvinile Detention Center. Months later he got a job at KFC. One day the officer that arrested him drove through the window and placed an order. Mike recognized him and decided to play a prank on him... so he took a dump in the mashed potatoes. He gave him his order at the window and they had a short chat... Mike- "Here's your order sir" Cop- "Hi Mike, how do you like working here" Mike- [smiles] "It's cool..here you go. Enjoy your meal" Cop- "Thanks. Ok... stay out of trouble" [smiles] Mike- [laughs] "ok you too" Oh the humanity. Thanksgiving just wasnt the same after that [mashed potatoes] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Rythe Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Originally posted by The Chimaera I walk into Mcdonalds to grab a bite to eat and for 3.00 I can get a burger, a burger that they advertise as having lots of lettuce and tomato and onions the mother of all hambuger pattys... of course they cant give you the best meal in the world, but can't they do better than the little puny thing they give you? there are many forms of false advertising , food, movies, cars. in a movie trailer that is packed ful of action, there might be only one action sequence in the whole show. I realize that life would be a lot more expensive if everything was perfect, but can't they put less air in the potato chip bags and say that you'll be in debt for the rest of your life if you buy that car because of the interest? thoughts?

Surfnshannon Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Well I was checking out 6 second abs at Target. Anyways, I'm looking for something to help tone up my stomach (since it has gone teh hell) anyways so I'm looking at it and it sounds great right? It helps you do "the perfect crunch" well its not at the perfect price...its 59.99...and well it kinda looks like a dust buster or a bike pump...anyways. So I decide to wait, thankfully, and look up some reviews on the net. Everyone, besides those who were selling it, said that it SUCKED and it was a piece of junk. That's the beauty of the internet. You can get some opinions before you purchase and waste your money. i strongly recommend http://www.epinions.com While, it doesn't have some stuff - it does have some good reviews. And I think you get stuff if you review things for them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Torque Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Originally posted by STTCT OH GAWD BK That is by far the worst....that stupid...what is it called BK Big Burger looks more like a Mikey D's kiddie meal burger...jammed with a bunch of mannoise...if that really is what it is. The BK fries are NASTY. Haha so true:p I think the worst out of all are battery companies. They say the batteries last for a long time, but they last for like 5 hours and their gone, when they really could go on so much longer. Same with ligh bulb companies, they could make life long bulbs but they are so money hungry they make you buy one every year, its madness. Also, chip comapnies drive me crazy, they fill half the bag. And they charge 2 bucks more for the extra air it takes to fill in the bag. Seriously, its retarted, i aint payin 5 bucks for air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 but it's compressed and factory made air ... therefore worth your 3 dollars Yeah I don't like fast food all that much except for Subway, they know what they are doing... Burger King isnt that bad in my opinion I like the smokey stuff, but now that I know it's chemicals I don't like it... rather go with mickey's greasy stuff than dried chemical burgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I now work at McDonalds (ya ya i know, but it's a job at $6 an hour and i get TONS of hours, plus $6 is good pay for wyoming) and I noticed how they skimped on fries, I don't like that so I pack the fries in HARD into those boxes. I overfill the McFlurries and Sundaes and put TINY ammounts of ice in the drinks in drive through. Just thought I'd let you all know that not ALL McD's aren't like that (anymore) and my managers are cool so we can mess around all we want and do basically what we want as long as there are no customer complaints and we get our work done. It's wierd cuz everytime the managers start getting mad cuz I'm messing around too much I do something right like break a record for drive through or my cash drawer has the exact ammount of change in it. I think they get way pissed at that cuz i counter-act every bad thing i do . If you tell them exactly what you want (say you don't like the shredded lettuce on the Spicy McChicken, tell them w/o lettuce, with lettuce and they'll give you a fresh crisp piece) basically, tell them exactly how you want it and they'll do it. A GOOD McDonalds will even make a fresh batch of fries if you ask for no salt. McD's employees take so much **** from customers it drives me crazy. I myself am going to lose it, a 94 year old guy (his wife told me his age and said he had reverted back to a child) came in and wanted something i couldnt' give him and started cussing at me for it. then some nurse came in during breakfast and ordered lunch, the manager said wait ten minutes and she could have it and she called us all stupid for it, so I laughed at her and told her to never come back. If you want to change the way things happen at places like that, either go do the change yourself (that's what I do) or get someone on the inside to change it. Until then, only expect what has happened in the past. We used to have this place here in town that sold burgers named "Wimpy's", the Half Wimpy was like 1/2 pound, and then the Wimpy, Double Wimpy, and stuff like that to make you sound like a wuss when you couldn't finish it all, they made their own patties there, cooked their own buns, chopped up their own lettuce, etc. it was a great place to eat but the guy who owned it (it was named Judd's Grub and had a construction worker on the sign pointing in to the building) Judd, sold it to some stupid lady who closed it like 5 months later. Greatest burgers i've ever had from a resteraunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Y'know the fish dippers? Its just fillet o fishes but in smaller pieces and you dip it in tartar sauce, whats the point of selling them? Its the same thing but only without the bread. Waste of cash.
