The last BigMac I had was in 1978. No particular reason for the boycott, just a record I enjoy maintaining.
The PACKAGE is more nutritious than what it wraps…
…No thanks… I don’t see how people can eat this crap either…
Never was a fan of the big mac…2 scab burgers on a bun-n-a half, plastic cheese with dodgy lettuce and thousand island dressing.
The ingredients are also very different today. Worse than jail food.
Haven’t been in a Wack Arnold’s (hat tip to Dave Chapelle for parodying it with that name) for years. The only thing I’d eat there for a long time before I quit going was the filet o fish, without the tartar sauce, and a side of fries. Finally reached the point where the (lack of) service and cleanliness caused me to swear off them entirely.
Now, all the newer built locations around town are painfully boring, uninspiring boxes. From what I understand, you place your own order at a touch screen (no cashier at the counter), and drinks are no longer self serve either, as they took the drink stations out of the dining room. The food quality definitely declined horribly from the time I was a kid. And current prices (from what I see and hear) are absolutely ridiculous. Bottom line: fuck ’em.
The first Big Mac I ever had would have been around 1979….it made me feel ill.
The Aussie Burger at Hungry Jack’s (Aussie version of Burger King) was a decent meal, but no franchise food was ever as good as the “Burger with the lot” from the old corner store…..where you could go with five bucks and get two huge burgers, chips for four, a couple packets of smokes, a couple of cokes, and get change. We also rode in the back of the ute, could buy rifles and ammo at any sports store, and had four tv channels.
Where’s the beef?
Yeah, lack of competent service is a deal killer.
For kicks, go in and get the #7 two cheeseburger meal, then ask them to substitute hamburgers for the cheeseburgers…
Watch for the confused looks, head scratching, and calls for the manager to help sort it out.
Even odds that they will declare that doing so is impossible, and will try to ring up two hamburgers, fries, and a drink on the Al-a Carte menu.
Last time I tried, I broke the cashier, she just stalled, (picture the Windows Blue Screen of Death) the manager physically moved her out of the way to complete the order.
I did not intend to do so, I simply wanted hamburgers rather than cheeseburgers.
