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!

No, you just need to hover around other diners and ask them for the gherkins that they remove from their burgers

Love American delis who wrap you up a big pickle and some day-glo pickled chillies in a piece of greaseproof paper to go with your gargantuan sandwich.

I love pickles!

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.

No hard ship to ask for it with out cheese. But unlike the user who said they made to order, well they arent, but yours would be the more recently assembled.;)

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.

Unless you agreed to the breaks they were in break of their own policy.:eek:

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.

You think they are vile but then you have one to remind you they are vile?

Yep, memory fades so I forget how hideous they are and every few years I see the golden arches and get lured back in. Thankfully posting on this thread has acted as a reminder so I should be able to make it to three or four years this time

i know of one time where extra gerkins were added to a burger. A whole hand full of them.
Althou the customer did ask for none as he didn't like them. (he was also an employee)

Never an issue or inconvenience for me when I ask for a double sausage and egg no cheese.

I don't do McDonald's breakfast now. I hate cooked egg, even the smell makes me feel a bit sick.

Passing McDonald's on my way to work, I thought "hey, I've got time and I'm hungry", I went in. And found that just about everything had egg in it. So I asked for a sausage mcmuffin, thinking that omission of the word "egg" would get me a roll-type thing and some sausage and a bit of plastic cheese. Nope, I got egg with it.

I'm confused. The product is always clearly labelled "sausage and egg mcmuffin" on the menu when I order one. There is also a big photo of it on the board behind the counter. I'm surprised you missed that.

If you want a none egg breakfast then you could have had the bacon sandwich. Or the pancake meal.

Sadly a lot of cooked breakfast products feature eggs. It's pretty much a main ingredient.

You can always order one without an egg. They are very good about making things fresh missing ingredients.
