Mcdonalds and sheer stupidity.

[powderman]

We stopped by a mcds today. Got to the counter and there are 2 girls standing there. I told them what we wanted and they said, the power is down at the front counter, you'll have to go order through the drive through. I said what?? She repeated it. I said, the drive through is 8 ft away from you, process it there. They asked a mgr. Uhhhhh, we can't do that. I said HELLO DQ. What stupidity. POWDERMAN. 

[Swampman]

They never get my order right.

i don't patronize them anyway.
they're no different than anywhere
else anymore. i stopped at the
store today and the cashier had to turn the
display around to see how much change to
give from a 5.00 toward a purchase of 4.25


the new dark ages is on it's way.

I love to watch these kids tell time on an analog clock! And if that clock is in Roman numerals
they get totally lost. " I think its two O something with some numbers after that".
Dumbing down has been successful.

Watched a girl in the WD pharmacy receive a 20.00, a 1 and a dime for a purchase of 16.10,  The customer wonted a  five in change. After a very long time the girl asked Me what the change was and I told her $5.00 after more dilibration she got out her phone and used the calculator and seemed pleased that the change was $5.00. Two days later I saw the same girl counting pills out in the pharmacy, after a talk with the store manager I saw her no more.

My son who is now 37 had the worst time in the world learning to tell time analog style. We tried everything we could think of and yes he finally understood but------he devised a method of doing math to unlimited places about 3rd grade by just looking at the clock face and using it as sort of an abacus.  To this day I can't understand how he does it.


On the subject of fast food, I figure anyone who patronizes the nasty things deserves whatever they get.  Haven't been able to keep any of that stuff down for a few years now.  Tastes great going down but within 30 minutes I put it right back in the sack.

All part of the dumbing down of America. A gson, str As all through hi school can't read a clock unless it's digital, can't read  or write cursive, etc. YEP, they are intentionally growing up dumber. POWDERMAN.

Another Manager making too much money for the job he is doing.  Maybe some people should never make more than Minimum wage.
$5 says if you are in a state that allows "Medical pot" he has a prescription and makes sure he doses at least twice a day. 
And anohter $5 if the power was out at DQ you would be telling us about their stupidity.

What I don't understand is why in the first place anyone who has heart problems would want to go to McDonalds to eat in the first place.  To me to do that is Stupid!

[SHOOTALL]

well do you want great servers or great prices ?

[Old Fart]

I have had very few problems over the last 30 years with service at McD's.
Of course I've only stopped there maybe a few times in that same 30 years.

[dukkillr]

Right.  McDonalds is the Wal-Mart of fast food.  They hire the cheapest, which generally means the ones who can't do anything else.  As a result you can buy .99 chicken sandwiches.

[SHOOTALL]

the same is taking place in construction , "systems" are now standard where little thinking is involved . Establish one point and start putting pcs. together . Thing is more times than not the pcs. are wrong , sloppy fabrication or poor print reading or drawing.

Good post sir. So  true. Anyone who eats at McDonald's deserves what ever happens.  I can't remember that last time I was in a McDonald's.

Two great post's   So if you eat at a fast food rest. you deserve be poisoned?
Most who work at our Fast food places where I live are High school kids. Gives them a little jingle in their pocket to spend. Like Duk said.....it allows me to have a cheap, fairly good tasting chicken sandwich for a dollar. But if I happen to die from food poison I deserve it

I reckon some of us go eat where we can afford to when we are away from home. POWDERMAN.

Eating high fat food with too many calories and salt is a slow poison. Eat if you wish, NOT ME- I value my health. I can go to Salad Works and eat alot healthier .McDonald's Calorie Counter (CalorieLab)calorielab.com/restaurants/mcdonalds/1--make sure to click on the more for the sodium content.‎

Geeze zoo, some of you sound like the first lady and want to outlaw the place.
Everything is OK in moderation.  and if you want to eat there you can,  If you think the place is horid them you have that right.
I will hit the drive through on occasion the $1 large diet coke is hard to beat on a hot day in a black car in Southern CA.  Especally when the water in the cup holder is almost boiling. 
Oh they also have salads, I never get one, but they do offer them, I love how you food Nazi's jump to the conclusion that he ordered a Big Mac large fries and a shake with nuggets as an appatizer.  And a Nuke heated apple pie.  And if he did order  that, So what if it is a once in a while thing.  I can see a problem if you eat there once a day or once a week. 
That fat and salt make things Yummy.  No one dreams of having a Rice cake with grilled tofu or hummas as a last meal.
I think even a Vegan would dream of a their favorite burger from their child hood as a last meal.

Mcdonalds must be doing something right, they are top ten in value as a company. The Mcdonalds in my area, I see mostly young people working there, with some older people also. I'm willing to bet the young people are high school kids, and the older people are mostly women who probably just want to make a little extra money, and really don't care if they are knocking down 50 to 100K a year.   

Stopping at Mcdonalds once in a while isn't going to turn you into a tub of lard. Its pretty much the rest of your lifestyle that determines if you are going to be a tub of lard.

Their coffee's pretty good, if you're on the road, and it's still morning. I don't eat their version of food-like substances.

Not a big fan of fast food so don't visit many FF joints.  If forced to eat fast food I try to find a Chic- Fil-A .  They are always clean, organized and staffed with the best people.  They have recently added a couple of $7.00 salads to their menu that you would gladly pay $12 for at a fancy restaurant.

Those Dumbed Down kids that can't read a clock with hands or count change for you. Can all text 300 words a minute and program your computer.

When I can't get my phone to work I call one of the Grandkids. Even the 5 year old is smarter than me on a cell phone. I don't believe kids are dumbed down they are just learning different skills to keep up with a changing world.  and your too Dumb to realize it. JMO

I've built Mcdonalds.....biggest bunch of demanding(they think they are God)......non word keeping bastards I've dealt with.  Frozen crap.....I will not eat there.

I hear the ones who can't work in fast food get to pump gas in some states , and its a law you have to let them.

When traveling I always stop at one of the major burger shops. Know why?  Because their rest rooms are always clean, that's why. So I wash my hands, go out and order whatever and then try to see whether the cashier can do simple math by giving change with a few bills. Most of them can't. It helps on the entertainment end if you give the bill first and let them ring it up, then hand them some change to "simplify" the transaction. I can often see the wheels trying to turn in their head. Who says seniors can't have fun?
