I went in just before xmas, the place was rammed.
The touchscreens were mobbed.
I went straight to the counter, ordered, got my order and walked out before any of the sty finger mob had even prodded out an order.
So much for progress!

I avoid the touch screens and always order at the counter, and getting served by a Five Star Mcdonalds Genral is just icing on the cake

I think the standard ones are quality, service, cleanliness, "excellence", and then there's a fifth one for management?

The 99p burgers are tiny miserable things, you'd need 5 of them just to make up a decent burger smile

I tried the chicken big tasty and kinda disappointed to find out it was just two chicken selects instead of a big patty like the beef version, I mean it tasted nice but you would think their premium chicken burger would actually have a special patty.
cheaper, its the future for their 'premium' chicken burgers apparently. think the Christmas burger had 2 mini fillets in it too, rather than a patty

OP here. 500 posts on here now! Still don't like the screens and order at the till if this is an option.
The price seems to slowly creep up on the extra value meals or is it just me.?
Still can't beat a nice fresh big Mac though!
Grand big mac (with bacon) will be back imminently.

Sod that, they just need to make the big tasty permanent.

Although, seeing as I only go in when the BT is on (apart from the odd breakfast) it's perhaps a good thing...

Still want to get a bottle of big tasty sauce. Liquid crack that stuff.

Weird, normally even if you order at the till you still get a ticket with a number in the same queue as everyone else.
