The Fast Food Thread

I only ever eat that long fried chicken sandwich whenever I go to BK. I also like their fries.

McDonald's really trying to win over the consumer.

This man speaks truth. I do enjoy a Whopper with Cheese or the elusive ANGRY WHOPPER (10/10), but their greasy, processed, re-purposed chicken sandwich is actually really great. Especially for 2 for $5. I also enjoy their fries.

That said, when BK had their steakhouse burgers and shit I bought two once for lunch, took two bites of one, stopped, threw them both away. I will never understand how they fucked up their specialty burgers that bad.

I've said it before, but the thing I like about BK is they actually grill/broil their burgers. They come in frozen but they are actually flame broiled at least. I don;t know what mcdonalds does in their little drawers they put the burgers in.

I'm pretty sure they just microwave them in lighter fluid. At least that's what it tastes like

Yeah I thought that was pretty clear since the link said Dallas.

imma explain. i dont do this. i dont explain. but imma do that.

you said exactly what the link says with one exception, where it was. so i asked, where it was?

this like, i link some shit say "miley cyrus dies from too much twerking" in the link and i type right under that link "miley cyrus dead" so funnyman might ask "oh rly, what kill her?" then boring people say "too much twerking dum dum, it say so right there".

and I feel, i want to feel, that abe, he got me.

When you paste the link you don't have a description till you post it. So I put what it was in case it didn't come up like some sites.

Yeah you think being they just announced a 10% sales decline last quarter that they would be willing to do something that was pretty great like that. Not only does declining make them look bad....being a dick about it REALLY makes them look bad, at least to me.

It was brilliant of Burger King to do it the way they did. They looked like the good guys for proposing an idea that in all honesty, was pretty cool and it would benefit a good cause and McDonalds had two ways to respond.

Look good in return by saying yes

Look bad by saying no

Yet they somehow invented a third option; "Look bad while saying not and doing it in the most condescending passive aggressive way possible."

That's basically how I feel about the whole thing. It was fucking win-win regardless of who came up with the idea. So now, not only is your buisness crumbling around you, you look like a bunch of dickheads as well.

I might have actually ate some of their food had they done that cross-over, however, now they can continue to lose my business.

So when I go to Subway I always get either a turkey on Italian or a ham on Italian, and I load it up with 10 veggies: lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, olives, pickles, banana peppers, jalapenos. I always run into the problem of the sandwich artist trying to close and wrap my sandwich before I've added all of the veggies. I've found that if I say I want more than 2 veggies at once (for example, "lettuce, tomatoes, onions") they inevitably put the first two on the sandwich then look at me and have to ask what the third one is that I said, and then start to wrap up the sandwich. On the other hand, if I only say one at a time (for example, "lettuce") they put on the one thing I said and start wrapping up the sandwich.

I've realized that this isn't a problem when the sandwich artist is an American person because the intonation (rising intonation until the last item in the list, then falling intonation to signal the end) tells them that I'm going to be continuing my list of veggies. It's only the foreign (i.e., 99% of them) artists that do the premature wrapping.

If I say something like "I'm going to get 10 veggies, starting with lettuce,..." they don't understand me, because they basically only respond to the names of vegetables.

Eh they probably make like 100 sandwiches a day. Most people probably get 3-4 veggies. Probably it is just habit to close up shop after a couple.

I have 2 Subways relatively close to my work. One is only a mile away, the other probably 3 miles. I always go to the one that is 3 miles away because they're all Americans and they give a shitload more toppings than the other place, which is all foreigners.

I've got nothing against foreigners, but if I have to ask 4 times for more onions, I'm going to get annoyed.

how i imagine McCheese

My Subway hasn't man. I usually prefer Publix subs, but that's a regional thing. We had a Quiznos for a moment, but it's gone. I don't like our Firehouse, maybe it's just them. Subway is actually solid in my town.

Publix usually does more toppings and has better bread, but every now and then I get some old bread that sucks. I never get old bread at the Subway, so it's a small gamble going to Publix.
