Guess what? He got his meal damn fast and well before i got mine (i'd been stood waiting for my fillet o'fish when i saw him order)

To the ex-McD's employees...
(1) how fast are you supposed to get the food to the customer?
(2) why is a FishMac called a FishMac on the continent but yet called a fillet o'fish in the Uk. Fishmac rolls of the tongue far better than the poncy "fillet o'fish".

i used to work in BK an id just say, well theres a queue mate, get used to it

Really, why do you eat the "food" from McDonalds?
High fat, low fibre, served by people who want another job, poor hygeine in the "restaurants". Do yourselves a favour and stop eating it.

(1) three mins from start of order to leaving counter (except in teh case of grill orders or breakfast or in the two hours before the store closes for the night)
(2) how the f-ing hell should we know that?!

p.s. if you dunno a grill oredr is sometimes referd to as a special order i.e. not a usual menu item, e.g. big mac only cheese, 9 mcnuggets, plain fillet etc.

A "FishMac" (:D) normally takes around 5 mins to make it's way to me... that isn't a grill, is it?

I'm pretty sure all McDonalds restaurants are franchises. They just buy in McDonalds food and probably have a contract to use the McDo name and McDonalds do all the advertising as part of the fee for owning a license to use the McDo name.

Anyway, I heard a crazy story the other day from a friend about one of the McDonalds restaurants here (we have 2 :eek:) that they don't have a cutting knife behind the counter for health & safety reasons - apparently everything comes in pre-chopped.
