No one is giving anyone a pass, Dave. It's called expectations meet reality. You're dealing with minimum-wage high school kids with a day of training — not the chef at Che Expensivo — and neither the establishment nor it's employees are held accountable to the photography on the wall. If they give you an empty bun, that's another matter. But if they give you whatever ingredients are pictured and within an ounce or two of the advertised weight, they've met their obligation even if it ain't purity! It's a down & dirty fast food chain. A Ptomaine Palace, if you will. Get over it!

Hey--I used to work at a Macdonalds when I was in high school, and I took pride--pride, I say!--in the carefully hand-cut french fries that I used to produce. Pride!

As much pride as salt? Huh? HUH? shocked

Actually, I attended Hamburger U back in the 70's. I worked for an ad agency that had a piece of the regional McD's account, and every agency employee that worked on that business — national, regional, or local — had to take the client's training courses. Prolly why I don't eat much of their stuff even today! sick

I don't come within a thousand yards of any McD if I can possibly help it.

That's how it works , now?

Someone got paid a good amount enticing me to order that hamburger. At least it could have looked a little like was shown. But, hey, that's just me. And , guess what I got had more to do with the manager than it did with the assembler of my specific sandwich.

Now don't get me wrong. I understand the work kids do there and I appreciate it. I'm a good tipper when allowed. Not only that but I give words of encouragement to the kids. But when I purchase something I want value for my money. That's why I don't get the Dollar meals. I also remember the cheapo burgers of the late '60s. Those six for a buck. Burgers that one could see through.

Dave

Well here anyway everything cost a buck or two more than over there. So really McDs, Burger King and all , the meal deals are in the 6 to 8 buck range.

I can get a home cooked plate lunch for 5.50 to 8 bucks with fresh seafood combo <- no brainer on value , quality and price . The last time I went to McDs was when Marg was here.
