    Sorry to hear about your experience but I used to work for McDs and you CAN cook a Big Mac in 2 1/2 minutes. The toasters take 1 min and the burgers are cooked on a clamshell grill that cooks them in 45 seconds. If you bite into them when fresh they can ooze juices but they should be clear. It may be the case that this didn't happen to you guys and that's just silly on the part of a manager, but it is possible to do them that quick!

    McDonalds. Sucessfully extracting the "fast" out of "fast food"
    A fully functional diet; :beer: + :spam: = :dance:

    If you're going to eat some junk that go to a kebab van. Why support a company as shoddy as McDonalds when you could be supporting a small time entrepreneur.

    ...... aka a dirty tax dodger! I'd rather give money to maccy d's any day than a horrible tax evading scumbag! "salaaaaad?"

    Well, it's your choice.

  • It always used to amuse me when they advertised their HAMburgers were made with 98% pure BEEF. Well what are they? Ham burgers or Beef burgers? Forgive me if i'm being silly but aren't they 2 different animals?

    At McDibblers, sorry, McDonalds, you can be sure they contain 100% cow product.

    You're being silly.

    They're called Hamburgers after Hamburg in Germany. It's got nothing to do with ham. Like Frankfurters are named after Frankfurt.

    Have you ever had Buffalo Wings?
    Can I help?

    :rotfl: I like that, they would be a mighty feast.:cool:

    I have no problem with any of the fast food places, Golden Arches, BK, KFC, if you want junk food, and there are times that I do, then they will suffice. Anyway I really like their vanilla thickshake.
    As everyone else appears not to eat there, I must be one of the silent majority that rdwarr refers to (but I don't read the sun!).
    I had a plan..........its here somewhere.
  • You can put a complaint into Mcdonalds online via their website, they'll probably send out some vouchers for you
