Having worked MickeyD's from before the BS made to order process and after I can tell you that as far as I'm concerned their quality and taste went in the toilet the day we stopped cooking, assembling and staging food in the large warming bin for the cashiers to pick up. There was just something about the burgers/sandwiches 'marinating for a few minutes that improved the flavor. I know almost, if not anyone will agree with me but I had a lot of years eating that food
The simple fact is that pre cooking everything and then storing it as individual ingredients in steam cabinets until it is 'made to order'/assembled for you results in look warm crappy tasting food. Unfortunately MickyD's is not alone in this, Carl's, Jack and others use the same crappy model. You should always demand freshly cooked food and order your frys with no salt and they have to be fresh too.
I appreciate that explanation.
I used to love Micky'Ds. Back in November, as a treat, I decided to go. After I got over the price (That will be $9.96, please drive thru to the second window) I was sorely disappointed with the flavor.
Truthfully, that could be because I'm used to cooking at home. Micky'ds is not the only place I find this to be the case. But I can't for the life of me understand how families eat out anymore.

going out to eat was a huge treat. I have to believe at some point that will once again be the norm. If it was close to $10 just for me....what would it have been for a family?
