Are Macdonalds taking the p*ss
Discussion
I popped to my local drive through macdonalds lastnight as i didnt have time to cook after a late night at work and i was shocked by what i saw!!!
A poster on everybay of the window saying "one dip per meal, you can buy extra dips for 10p per dip"
That is unbelievable!!! i know its only a small amount of money but its not like they dont make enough money as it is!
Imagine this..... youve got your super size chicken nugget meal. How on earth are you going to make one dip lat for 6 nuggets and a super size fries???
gits!!!!!!

but when it's free, how many people do you see with "one of each" dips, and barely opening one and throwing the others away.
Do something like that and it will save mcdonalds £x millions pounds a yr. While I'm not trying to defend them, I can completely see why they would introduce something like that!

i can see thats its going to save them millions.
but where do you draw the line? what are they going to charge for nxt? ice? straws? bags?
I worked in a pub kitchen when i was at school(so i could learn to drive) and they started a simular policy but regular customers got the hump and talked with there feet.
is this a national macdonalds policy or is it just the one branch???

your kidding arent you.
if they stopped giving you ice, they would have to actually put some beverage in the huge ice buckets they sell as drinks.
they could however save a fortune if they stopped putting that ransid pickle thing on every burger they make.
every person I know ditches it.
McDonalds now has condiment pumps alongside the napkin dispensary. Diners can help themselves as their taste dictates.
Incidentally - comparing a Hob Nob to Steven Seagal is fighting talk. Clint Eastwood or Paul Newman maybe, but not that ponce. He is an Ainsley Harriet Chocolate Surprise.

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the only reason the pickle is on McDs burgers is that without it they dont have enough vegetable content to make the minimum requirement to classify as a "meal" under some law or other in the states.
You can tell by the unequivocal nature of this post that I'm totally sure of my facts and it wasn't something some bloke told me in a pub or anything
On a related topic, why don't McDs like the Tyne Tees Region? It was the only place you didn't get 2 Big Macs for the price of one...
And why can't you get the 100 week model of the Cutty Sark in Harlech? Anyone care to invent a law?

I always ask for my drink with no ice and you'd be surprised (or possibly not) how much they have to top it up with the free-flow button after the pre-measured button has finished filling it up to the "with ice" level.
same here. This is especially true if you go to the cinema, as then you won't end up with a watery, flat beverage richie_few said:

Damn..that must have been a big kitchen!
Back on topic, I don't see why they have to charge so much over here in the first place, you go to mcdonalds in the us and you get burgers for 50c (28p) and 'bottomless' drinks for less than half what we pay here for a normal one.
I think mcdonalds is really missing an opportunity to turn our lard asses into US style lard asses.

Steven Segal,
I would have to say the Hob Nob is more Felicity Kendall than Steven Segal. A right wooly woofters biscuit

The pickle is the best bit!
The pickle is disgusting... full stop.
McDonalds is disgusting... full stop. I know, I worked there while at college, its amazing some of the stuff that goes on in the kitchen.
great fun if your 17 and working there, bit sickening if your 34 and dining there TBH

Outside! Mind you, the thought of dunking Felicity Kendal during a quiet moment is not an unpleasant one. All the same, the "wooly woofter" comment will not go unpunished. I have pencilled in bloody vengeance for this afternoon, once I have finished thinking about hob nobbing with Felicity.
