Seems after Halloween the Christmas stuff goes up around our town

Not sure what happened to Thanksgiving....

anyway

Tis the season

I have a habit of observing
then
jotting down the events as recalled


Went to town

Stopped at McDonalds

Walked in (drive thru was jammed)
Ordered a McCoffee
Stood back in order purgatory away from the ever growing line of pseudo-beefcravers

Frantic place

Pre diabetic saccharinated preschoolers zipping from the play room to the McToilet and back.
Young McMuthers, with old eyes, trying to keep track, chasing with sanitized wipes.

The McManager is a tad over the top.
Too happy
Worn out smile
No longer actually sees individuals, just the herd.
He
’ll prolly go home a couple hours after his shift, trudge up the stairs to his apartment, throw his bills on the kitchen table, sit, open his McBrick burger with stale fries, and stare....at his gun.

The trainee is doing her best to remain in the flow, the running of the McBulls.

The old hand, been there forever (two months), instinctively stabs at a handful of tiny Heinz ketchup packets for the lacking customer in the emergency queue.

An old man, squinting at the menu board, trying to decide on which delicacy would be optimal in regard to his budget and digestive tract while the assistant manager idles in high gear, eyes darting.

Good coffee

No need for a refill

Made my way to the Ronald McDonald house of poop.
Left a rather significant obstacle in McStall number 2....fitting.
Noticed the auto flush was still struggling with it as I administered a papal blessing to the McAuto faucet.

My work is done here.

Outside, three McTrainees are by the dumpster, huffing down cigarettes, texting, eyeballing the time.

I am happy

For McRetirement
 

So funny but true Gary. The last time I went to a McDonalds was about two years ago. The Grandkids needed a burger and fries fix. I sat watching the kids bounce around in that big tub of plastic balls with the netting all around. Reminded me of a giant ferret cage. Every once in awhile they came back to the table for a swig of apple juice my daughter gives them to offset the dangers lurking in the burger and fries.
 
Very funny observations, Gary! McDonalds is an institution, and I try not to be a McSnob, but it has been many years since I have eaten there. My McSon-in-law likes their Mcshakes, and last Christmas, I stopped by for a Mcgift card for him. Every McTree needs a McBull on it at McChristmas-time!:D

I do like their coffee and have their fish sandwich once in awhile. Wouldn’t surprise me if their fish comes from an unknown species from the bottom of the sea. But, it’s good. :confused:
"In New Zealand and the United Kingdom Filet-O-Fish contains hoki instead of Alaska pollock. McDonald's Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic, The Netherlands and Hong Kong use a half slice of cheese in each Filet-O-Fish sandwich".

"Dive in...."

I don't like Maccas for several reasons. One because the food is unhealthy and two because they use rather unprincipled methods to adapt children to their commercial plan rather than adapt their food to the needs of children. They are the masters of manipulation of their customers.

Early on I decided to take my grandchildren to other food outlets to expose them to a variety of cuisines. I figured that once they developed a taste for real food such as Italian, Thai etc they would forever be immune to the predatory practices of the burger chains.
 
"The Hula Burger was a meatless burger introduced in the 1960's by Ray Kroc to McDonald's. It was a substitute for American Catholics that would not eat meat on Friday. The burger was a slice of grilled pineapple with cheese on a bun. But this was designed to go up against the Filet-O-Fish, which was created by a Catholic McDonald's Franchisee Louis M. "Lou" Groen. McDonald's killed the Hula Burger early on, as it became quickly evident that its alternative, the Filet-o-Fish, was getting much better traction".

In 1984 they had a version with burger!

Bring back a Pineapple and burger version!:eek:nthego:
