    What's going on?

    £1-99 for Big Mac and fries turns into this?

    I don't eat there often maybe grab something if on the road


    However I know some with kids and teens are nagged for a fiver most weekends for a Mac Donald's Di thought it worth posting

    The coffee seems fine to me
    Lol
    You eat roadkill?

    It's probably healthier than McD's to be fair.

    Agreed. No worse than Starbucks for half the price, and better than the free Waitrose stuff middle class pikeys queue up for.

    My 5 year old son wanted to try McDonalds the other day (he'd never been), so I took him and my daughter to a local one. I hadn't been to a McDonalds for 20 years myself.

    I bought two meals with toys and drinks and a Diet Coke for me. The total was £6.77! I could hardly believe it! I asked the girl behind the counter if that was correct, she assured me it was.

    I do wonder how the food can be any good for that price, but my kids enjoyed it. 

    Or maybe it's to do with trying to sell an ebay watch to the rich mugs here at a profit, being caught out then lying about it. Maybe he discovered his shame at last.

    Makes you wonder about the conditions in the factories that supply the toys and "food" eh.

    As a McDonald's employee of over 10 years this is quite an amusing thread.

    I'm not a coffee drinker so can't comment on the taste but understand the beans we use are similar to those at Costa/Starbucks but without the Baristas..

    The food has changed a fair amount in recent years, if you're interested you can read about it here http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/Ab...ats0/menu.html

    I'm quite partial to a BigMac/Quarter Pounder or some Chicken Selects and probably have something from our menu once a week.

    I do like a big mac and their banana milkshake. The coffee is okay but a bit too weak for me.
    But then I'm a sad old f@rt.

    Neither should you be... for clarity my post was more in reference to calling out the other members uncalled for snide comment to you...

    I think a couple of you have maybe taken that comment too seriously.

    I didn't take it seriously but in response, I'm a Real Estate Management grad and surveyor by trade of almost 15 years. Not everyone that works for McDonald's flips burgers.

    Anyhow, back to the McDonald's hack....

    Maybe?

    It just felt like you were being a little derogatory/ patronising…. It's not something I would have put, but, to be fair, far worse goes on in TZ, so, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to judge !
