  • What's up? You can dish it out but you can't take it. :rotfl:


    That seems your problem not mine.

    It always gives me a warm feeling inside to know I have helped ease somebody's personal insecurities by giving them an opportunity to provide a sarcastic comment, which in turn makes them feel better about themselves as they attempt to belittle somebody they do not know from behind the comfort of their keyboard and monitor.

    I am very glad to be of service to you sir and I hope I can provide many more comments for you in future so that you can slowly release the insecurities you have about yourself which you obtained whilst you were growing up as a child.

    Have a nice day.

    Totally agree with you michael1983. Don't know why people have to post these comments.

    I can't speak for McDonald's, but I'm in a similar business (Subway). We serve breakfast and offer cheese on all of our breakfast Subs, at a minimum I would say 90% of customers request cheese on their breakfast.

    If I have a Subway, I make sure I have everything I can on it. Makes it better value for money. This is MSE after all ;)

    I second this sentiment. I used to work for them in my teens as well, and this post is fair. They have they faults in their nutrition of course, but some of the things people say about McDonalds is laughable.

    They were a decent employer, too.

    I worked in McDonalds for a little while as a teenager, we were all on zero hour contracts, if there was a quiet lull you were made to sit in the staff room, you were then called back in to work when it was busy, of course these 'breaks' were unpaid.

    Is it just me that finds putting cheese on sausage, bacon and eggs is horrid. I would not mind if there was a tradition in the UK of having cheese with your eggs in Britain, but I am not sure it ever has been. So why do McDonalds insist on putting plastic cheese on EVERYTHING. It just means that on the rare occasion I have a breakfast there that I ask them to make one without cheese and causes inconvenience for both their kitchen and me. I am pretty certain I am not the only one that does that.

    I suppose the simple answer is that the majority of people must want the cheese. If a large proportion of customers asked for their food without then they would remove the cheese or change their menu to add a cheese-free option.

    Personally I hate the yellow goop that they pass off as cheese too. I limit myself to a Big Mac every few years, just to remind myself that they are vile, the burgers like chewy carpet tile, the bun tasteless pap and the whole thing falling apart as you try to eat it.

    If only they could foster this idea with the most unpopular filling.......The gherkin, of which a good 90% remove it, the other 10% have to order it fresh to get it without a gherkin. ;)

  • There is a dish in the Netherlands called Uitsmijter. It's fried eggs on toast, with a couple of slices of cheese melted over the top and it's lovely!

    The gherkin is the only bit I DO like!

    I've got a new favourite to eat on my barbecued burgers - M&S Posh Dog Pickle. A scrummy mix of American yellow mustard, diced gherkin and dill. Delicious, and means I get gherkin in every bite!

    You should try to recreate the mcdonalds advert where the guy gets a box of gherkins for his pregnant wife. I've always suspected if you tried that in real life they would either tell you to p155 off or failing that make you buy 30 burgers and take the gherkin off each one!

    The gherkins the only bit that gives a Big Mac any flavour. :p
