McDonalds ffs

Post by Been-Grant-Mitchell'd! »

Not much for me to eat in there being veggie, but I do like a Big Mac without meat. Sounds daft, but it's nice.

I go into Paddington Station MacD's where my mate get whatever and I ask for a meatless Big Mac.

"Ok" she says "Big Mac with meat out?"

"Yes please"

"Take meat out?" she asks again.

"No, I don't want the meat in there in the first place, I'll have one made fresh" I say.

After a while I though she understood, but no. I get two Big Mac boxes, the first just containing a bun, the other with the meat, lettuce, pickles and sauce. Even the manager can't speak English. For God's sake either learn our lingo or piss off.

And why is it that when you're in public and you feel a bogey up your nose, you look round to make sure the coast is clear, but as soon as your finger get within an inch away from your nostril, someone looks straight at you? So you try to make out that you were scratching it or feeling your teeth through your lips etc.

Or you go to the services and need a poo. There are twenty cubicles so you choose the one furthest from the entrance. However, as soon as you begin you can guarantee that someone will walk in and use the one right next to you? So you can either put up with them farting, grunting and splashing, and you try not to breathe too much as that poo smell you initially thought was yours may in fact be theirs.

Or you can abort and use a bog further away.

I very much do enjoy a good service station poo. They are somewhat satisfying.

Don't expect good service in a bottom-scraping "restaurant". You get what you pay for. Secondly, the amount these places pay per hour attracts the people that are east employable (i.e - trouble speaking english well). Thirdly, people that are working in these types of jobs are generally not that well educated, or they wouldn't be there. The other type are the desperate, and you should treat them with a bit of patience, as they are only doing it as they have no other choice other than becoming a state burden.

I scratch my arse, pick my nose and belch and fart in public when I feel like it. I'm comfortable with being human, and I don't give a jot about what an anonymous face thinks about me for the brief moment my social inelegance offends their hypocritical sense of decency.

Whenever i'm keeping company however, I don't drop my 'aitches.

Brilliant :)

On other poo related matters, I notice that those new toilet roll dispensers where the paper emerges from a small hole in the centre of the unit are rapidly disappearing due to breakage. The idea was a good one, though.

mac's round here are full of student's working partime to top up grants, well that's on the tills anyway.

the only non-indiginous(sp?) staff ever on the tills are wearing different uniforms so either they're getting 10p and hour extra for being a supervisor or they they've been caught trying to escape.

kentucky is a different story though , they should employ interpreters so the staff can speak to each other.

customers are encouraged to point at the misrepresented pictures of food behind the tills when it's their turn to order instead of engaging in futile vocalities.

Agreed about KFC. Miracle to find anybody English working in one of those. I've also noticed that people serving(handling money) will then go and prepare food!! At least burger king and mac d's aren't guilty of that.

I only eat dub saus and egg brekkie meals in mac d's as with the exception of the chicken strips I find the rest of their stuff fucking awful.

Do a mean milkshake tho!!!

All these franchises have to do is buy it supplies from say McDonalds and sign up to training, cleaning and work practice standards. Whether you get a decent, clean and English speaking branch is pot luck.

What happens if there is a fire in one of these places. Someone could shout "FIRE" and most of the satff don't understand and carry on working and a few die. There would be hell to pay.
