Why do McDonalds make ordering so frustrating!

I've put a thread in there anyway. Not bothered if it goes t*ts up.

Clearly you've never eaten at Mcdonalds then because if you say you are anything less than hungry an hour after eating it, then you are a massive liar.

Mcdonalds food isn't fulfilling in the slightest.

Did you ever see Morgan Spurloks "Supersize Me"?...He found after eating McD's he got an almost instant sugar rush & about 30 minutes later,he was tired out & hungry again.
I mainly order just the double cheese burger if I eat there & I kinda feel the same way.Last time I did,I ended up having beans on toast when I got home!

I hate when I order a meal in there and they always, ALWAYS ask me ...."is that a large meal?"

I'm 5 foot nothing and I weigh less than 8 stone, do I look like I want a large meal? Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!

It's called upselling!

£30 is unambiguous. For whatever reason the MuckDonalds staff don't find your order unambiguous and therefore try to clarify it. Probably because their experience has shown them that, despite people ordering fairly clearly, they're not actually ordering what they think they are.

£30 is ambiguous when it's pronounced as 'furty'.

My favourite was in a KFC a few years ago.

Drunk (not me): Two chicken and chips please
Server: Do you want two pieces of chicken and one chips or two lots of chicken and chips?
Drunk: Three chicken and chips please.

Our local Nando's is quite flashy, I'd be tempted to call it a restaurant.

To me, a restaurant needs to have

a) cutlery
b) wine list

Depends what you mean by low standards? If you think its an example of low standards by referring to a "Fast food restaurant" as a "Fast food restaurant" then so be it.

Personally I don't like going to any generic chain restaurant, however my likes or dislikes don't affect the fact that a Macdonalds is a "fast food restaurant". Argue all you like but thats what it is!

Nope. It is not a restaurant. End of argument. :cool:

I don't really like McDonalds (just their chips occasionally) but I needed to eat there as I didn't have much time at the airport.

I wish they had clarified with me whether I wanted the sandwich or the wrap. I didn't realised that there was a wrap so when I asked for the sweet chilli chicken meal, they gave me a wrap which I didn't notice until later. I don't like complaining so just ate it but it was rubbish.
