You know this is just a prime example of what's wrong with McD's and has been for decades, it's the TMS syndrome, TOO MUCH SHIT on the damn menu and why they and Carl's, BK and a host of others around America are struggling, they ran away from their founder's core concepts. It's why Operations like In-N-Out on the west coast have not only remained profitable but thrived, they remained true too concept and methods, they don't sell fish, chicken or mexican food, they don't sell the burger or beverage of the month. They sell hamburgers and cheeseburgers in several variations, fries, shakes and sodas and they still make as you are ordering it, I don't mean assemble out of a warmer like every major chain does, i mean assembled as it is cooked in a constant stream because so many people are ordering it and are happy to wait for it. Back in the day that's how McD's was, if back in the days means pre 80's that is. I remember being on the grill for hours cooking burgers and breakfast because we were so busy, and the food tasted totally different. Today if I take my grandson to McD's, few and far between, I recognize the food but it in know way tastes like it used too and this is directly attributable to the so called made to order policy, how the hell is it made to order when it's been sitting in a warming cabinet for up to thirty minutes. Back in the day of warming bins and ten minute holding times, that's where Mcd's needs to go, oh and scrap at least 50% of the menu.
Damn I haven't talked about McD's and fast food as much as I have the last two days for years and years, and I know you all don't give a flying rats patoot. All this over a stupid straw.
