    I love Maccy Dees. I have never had a bad experience and If i did I would complain straight away because they will do anything to make you happy (I should know I was a hostess there for 3 years)

    I would love to go to Subway more often though but my social anxiety problem gets in the way. I get all panicky and end up a gibbering wreck when they ask all the questions about what I want.


    then how do you get food in maccy dee's?
    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.

    Think jembie maybe gets stressed with the options in subways...whereas you just ask for a cheeseburger, bacon burger, big Mac etc. in McD's, subway can/may ask questions to individually tailor your sandwich.

    One bite doesn't make your cholesterol levels rocket!

    I was joking
    And I simply couls not be bothered to even speak to the staff (it took three goes explaining that I didn't want the soft drinks etc., so what on earth would it be like trying to get money back off them?)
    Don't bother trying to sue me - I've got no money!

    For my sins, I had to joing a friend in McD's and decided to hve one of their bagels. It was described as bacon, cheese and egg.

    What I got was this:

    Outisde: A Bagel covered in grease
    Inside: 2 rashers of bacon (comparatively normal looking)
    some messed up yellow stuff that was apparently cheese
    a white rubbery thing with a yellow bit in the middle (egg?)

    the latter component mostly consisted of fat that dripped off the bagel into a rather large puddle on the table. It was only after one bite that I noticed this, and that after the third chewing of said mouthful did I realise that the paper napkin was sodden with grease and that it was still pouring off. 2 napkins later, the grease finally stopped dripping.

    I had something very similar - I believe it was a 'breakfast bagel'. I made the mistake of taking it away, and the postage-stamp sized napkin was utterly inadequate when it came to absorbing the oil that was drooling out of it.

    It was completely gross and reminded me why I stop going in McD's 10 years ago. (This was a one-off!)

    Was in there with a friend - while they were being served I noticed the next tray on the pile at the counter was scuzzy and had crumbs of the previous customer's food on it and daubs of ketchup, etc. When the person serving turned away, I lifted the tray to see if there was a clean one.

    They were all like that.
    My TV is broken! :cry:
