McDonalds don't give a shit! Ever since they got a showing up in court by two ageing hippies, they've been on this path as a PR exercise |

If that company told me the day of the week I'd check it. Much to their great chagrin, I never took the kids there or to Burger King. If I wanted them to have sugar, fat and, 'flavourings', I'd administer them myself. 'Happy Meals'  ? My arse. We once in a moment of madness nipped in to Burger King on West Blackhall Street and was gobsmacked to see drug dealers openly exchanging their wares. Mrs T and I left immediately and we went off the the Police Station to report the matter where an insolent WPC told us that if they were to investigate every drug dealing report, they'd do little else. |

And, they cook all their burgers in advance and then microwave them to order. Vile.

In Burger King anyway, you can't see what's going on in the back of McDonald's

We used to like those, 'Wikinger' hot dogs that came in the jar until one night we saw what they were made of and the lot of us had the boak. Actually I could quite happily go veggie but Mrs Tiddles says she'd have me sectioned!  |

It does give you the most awful wind. You'd need to have a very understanding partner. However, if you and Jock both went down the veggie path, your respective evacuations would cancel themselves out on the sum and difference principal.  |

My daughter in England worked for McDonalds, now as well as cook the food and serve it, she also had to clean the toilets, still in the same uniform. On one occasion they had her outside scraping bird shit of the window ledges.
Turns out the each shop has a very strict amount of money to spend on staff, so cleaners are not a priority, after being told this by the local manager and my then having a wee word in his ear about my daughter ever cleaning b'shit again I returned home.
However the more I though about it the more angry I became and contacted McD's head office in the UK, after being put from pillar to post, I really lost my rag and threatened to turn up at their office within the hour and that they should have at least the riot police there to meet me.
Low and behold I'm talking to McD's head honcho in the UK, I asked him who cleaned his windows and his answer angered me even more when he said some contractor or other. Talk about rip him a new assole.
When my daughter came home from work that night, she informed me that she had been given a promotion and was to get a new tailored uniform. She was also given a small pay rise and within a week a cleaner had been employed in the shop.

I actually despise the company, they exploit people in ways that would have been impossible 40 years ago.

McD is the image of America all over the world, hence the reason they get away with so much, Just after the fall of Baghdad which American symbol of democracy was the first to set up in the green zone. McD's

well being a piscavian if thats the name of a person who only eats seafood and veg, let me tell you greenock only caters for prawn and fish eaters and even then you have a choice of cod and haddock, anyway what I was about to say..................you really want to frequent a popular sweet factory, it would give Dickens a run for its money.
