It's still McPoison no matter how you slice it.
 
2001-12-06 05:11:36 PM
I wish MdCrappys would spend even a fraction of the money spent on crap like this and make their food even just slightly more tasty than micro-waved dog turds.

Something about how you can put a dress on a pig, but it's still a pig... I dunno...

Filet o'McMignon for 2.




Ummm....., and super-size that please.

As long as they still have that famous grease.......that famous "special sauce".....and that famous bathroom stench you happen to smell when you are forced to sit next to the restroom while you eat......I will always call it home...
 
2001-12-06 05:22:06 PM
So, if they have an "upscale" McD's for an "upscale" area, why not have "urban" themed McD's for 'da hood? They could bullet-riddle the walls, have crack pipes w/ "Ronald Rocks", whores serve your food and then blow ya in the bathroom, even a weed smoking section. Oh yeah, and McChitlins and McPorkRinds. All da homies would be down wif dat.

Oh boy! Now that means the food will be even more overpriced. Glee!

I don't mind a McSuckySucky every now and again.
 
2001-12-06 06:06:12 PM
Nothing goes better with a Big Mac than a $100 dollar bottle of wine, linen table cloths, and silver utensils. Perhaps they could get Ronald to play the violin and sing at the diners tables?
 
2001-12-06 06:09:11 PM
How exactly do you get that big purple guy named Grimace to be up scale?

"Instead, the local McDonald's was planning to offer shrimp and tenderloin"

Ha! Yeah, with other choices in the upscale neighborhood, that's the first place I'd head for a steak.

Books? Come on now; the only reason McDonalds makes money is because they get so many folks in and out so quick, unless this place is going to charge 40.00 for their "shrimp and tenderloin".

Wow.
 
2001-12-06 06:27:37 PM
I hope they don't convert the Quarter Pounder with cheese to the metric system. I won't know what to ask for.
 
2001-12-06 06:40:58 PM
Check out the big brain on Mr. Peepers! Everyone knows you'll order a "Royale with cheese!"
 
2001-12-06 06:47:35 PM
ahhhh...yet they still probably use factory farming, etc. etc.
nothing like PR instead of ethics
 
2001-12-06 06:50:18 PM
Being from the area originally (about 3 miles from that restaurant), I can only say...

"Only in Carmel."
 
2001-12-06 07:23:38 PM
Walrustoof, the local McDonalds in Clifton in Cincinnati already has bullet holes, McCrack pipes, a pot smoking area, and McHos. They even have McBums asking for McChange.
 
2001-12-06 07:28:55 PM
I went to high school in Indianapolis. That is so typical for Carmel.

The only cool thing Carmel had in the early 80's was the Monday Night Drive-in, where you could do about any recreational substance you were into. And soon that was gone...

i still aint eatin that shiatty food.
wendy's forever!!

2001-12-06 07:38:46 PM
I used to live on the south side of Chicago.. while driving through some of the more.. un-gentrified neighborhoods I would see billboards for things like the "Get Jiggy Value Meal" which I never saw anywhere else..
 
2001-12-06 07:55:38 PM
All McDump is now a days is a cheap ass restraunt for the kids.
 
2001-12-06 08:49:20 PM
Hell with it. The yuppo palace would go broke in Sturgis, I guarantee. The place to eat in Sturgis is Bob's. The place with the wall of hot sauce. Labels like "I Saw God" for the hotter stuff. Anyway, MacPalaces don't have beer.
 
2001-12-06 08:59:39 PM
I shudder to think what those books will look like after patrons touch them with filthy, greasy grubbers obtained from utensil free dining of deep fried comestibles. Even that poor unread "boring" book about some insignificant person who died before CD-roms were invented, sitting way up in the left corner, which has successfully avoided direct spillage will still absorb the oil vapor that permeates the premises, and its pages will turn yellow and reek of rancid fat for all eternity.
 
2001-12-06 08:59:40 PM
I used to occasionally eat there, but they moved the place out near the highway, now i don't bother.
 
2001-12-06 09:16:28 PM
Who knows, maybe they'll get more people in the new and improved location(s) trying to work their way toward eating their 30,000th Big Mac.

God knows they'll never see me in there, no matter how hard they try.

It's still McCrap & I haven't eaten there in years.

And, hey, how long will I be able to get my future kids to think that it's McCrap too?
 
2001-12-06 09:28:57 PM
shiat,mcdonalds has the best fries on earth and their burgers aren't that farkin bad.Is there something wrong w/ trying to conceal the trashy atmosphere of any Mcdonalds from the rude and obnoxious and unclean inner city retards or should it stay that way and be yet another addition to how hip hop culture and it's ignorance is taking over the world as we know it.This run-on sentence has been brought to you by the letters O and Z and the numbers 4 and 0
 
2001-12-06 09:32:29 PM
My last time there I waited for 10 minutes. I then drove off. I figure if I gotta wait 10 minutes on a cheeseburger I might as well cook it myself. Every since they started trying to copy Wendy's they lost me. Look, it's fast food, emphasis on the fast. I don't want you to make it when I order it. If I did I would go to Jack-n-the Box or Wendy's. I want to get my food and leave in less than 2 minutes. If they can't handle that then I ain't eating there. Screw McDonald's. I am going to Taco Bell.
 
2001-12-06 09:32:33 PM
Hey, Destroyer of the Universe, which McDonald's in Clifton? The one on McMillan and Victory?
 
2001-12-06 09:35:25 PM
"Its like a library"

Except that McDonalds can veto carrying any books it wants (eg 'No Logo' or 'Fast Food Nation') Just as with the future McDonalds Yale or McDonalds Harvard. Students who speak out of line can just be sued for libel, make 'em grovel or just withold research publication. Academic tenure - who's that for, the majority shareholders?

Yeah I know its just an optional extra or gimmick now, but that's enough of a start. Pretty easy now to get coffee at a non-Starbucks? Give people the idea that public libraries are increasingly redundant. After all, the restaraunt can do the job even better as just a sideline.

Take over all forms of education and publication, and the day you get a McD's CEO who's an unyeilding creationist or holocaust denier is the day the printing press might as well never been invented.

Phase one was systematically erasing real libraries through public funding cuts. After all why should your taxes go to silly things like culture and knowledge. Those can be outsourced. This is phase two - sanitised for your protection and greenlighted by marketing.

Synergy baby!..

I really needed to get that off my chest.
 
2001-12-06 10:59:48 PM
That shiat would never fly in my neighborhood. You could take a crap in line at my McDonalds and the crack-addicted mothers would still shuffle their children right through it.

And who the HELL would give their kids McDonald's anyway? That's way more dangerous than second hand smoke, IMO. My parents did, but we're white trash.
 
2001-12-06 11:03:22 PM
Y'know, everybody biatches about McDonalds, but they sure sell a lot of food. And there ARE lots of alternatives.

If it didn't taste good, people wouldn't go there. Period.
 
2001-12-06 11:03:35 PM
I don't care how many books they line their walls with. Their food's still going to be the same old crap. If they want to improve themselves, then they should try some new and radical ideas, like...oh, I don't know...serving real food!!
 
2001-12-06 11:06:26 PM
I hear ya, Gidget that sounds like McD's in LoDo Denver. There is one in Sturgis, up at the north end of town next to I90. High school kids eat there.

Now Japanese McDonald's (mac ca do na roo do) are fast efficient and so damn clean your really could eat off the floor. Don't know what the meat in the biggu maku is tho. Tastes OK but funny, maybe soy or goat or pork or somethin'.
 
2001-12-06 11:46:48 PM
I don't mind McDonalds that much. During the summer they had hamburgers for 59 cents on Wednesdays so every Wednesday I'd go and get 5 of them for lunch. That would keep in the bathroom for part of the rest of my shift, so I did less work.

In Canada now they have strawberry-rhubarb pies, and surprisingly they actually taste good.
 
2001-12-06 11:50:04 PM
Let me get this straight. They had a $850,000 renovation and could only afford to donate a grand total of $2000??
Sounds McCheap to me.

Akachibi: Biggu Maku? I love that. I'd actually eat that, 'cuz the name's so cute.

Is anyone else having a Demolition Man flashback?

"But John Spartan, every restaraunt is Taco Bell!"
 
2001-12-07 12:46:51 AM
>If it didn't taste good, people wouldn't go there. Period.

And I don't go there. Burger King and Wendys burgers are allright, but McBurgers are McSucky. They are awful bland crap, and there's barely any burger there.

Their fries are better than Burger King's, but I haven't eaten at a McDonalds in at least a year, if not two. And when I do eat there it is when I am offered no alternative.

There is however one place which serves worse burgers than McDonalds... WHITE CASTLE. My god... I could eat a McDonalds burger if I have to.... but a White Castle burger... I ordered one of those once... it was retched. I couldn't even eat it. It's no wonder there are no White Castle's in the NE... I had the misfortune to discover them when I lived out in Indianapolis for a few months.
