No one cares if their quarter pounder is fresh.

I wish McDonalds would just stop trying. Their big complicated menu is a mess. The other day I went in and ordered 2 McDoubles from the kiosk and it took 7 minutes for my order to be called. 7 minutes! Seriously? Just bring back the heat lamps already. Heat lamps were great. During a rush the cooks could make a dozen identical burgers at a time, shove them into the warm red glow, and when you'd have your order in like 2 minutes, tops.
Heatlamps were old like 25 years ago. When I did my time as teenage fast food labor, McDonalds had just finished perfecting the made to order (but not really) system. Everything was assembled assembly line style. To keep the meat on the assembly line after it was cooked, there was like a meat cupboard with a bunch of drawers that slid out of a warming oven and each drawer had a different sort of meat. So like a quarter pounder drawer, a Big Mac patty drawer, drawers of nuggets. Instead of a heatlamp, the tray where food was kept after it was made had a forced air heater that kept the tray hot as gently caress, like you could cook underdone poo poo in that thing.

Google image searching McDonald's meat cupboard unfortunately doesn't give any pictures of the ingenious device.

In fairness to McDonald's, it's because they don't want you actually coming inside the restaurant. They already do 75% of their business through​ the drive-thru, and they'd be quite happy to increase that to 100%, and completely​ eliminate the inside service.

They'd do well to have smaller buildings that take the Dutch Bros. model. Or one side for drive thru and the other for walk-ups.

Used to eat "family size" pizzas at least once a week, but being frugal has done a number on me... I just want that lovely lovely grease/salt inferno in my mouth

I know what you're talking about and I missed those when I worked at Wendy's, because their system was terrible in comparison. Man, now I want terrible burgers too.

I'm old, okay? Let me tell you about how much better their fries were back when they still deep fried in animal fat.

And the pies! Deep fried pie was a glorious crunchy treat. The limp 'baked' crap they sell now is terrible.

Wow that is kinda hard to identify. From the shapes of them they kinda look like chicken wings? But the weird colors and that layer of salt almost makes them look like salted herring, skin & all. The yellow sauce (curry?) and the red oily chili basin though, gonna go with actual non-fastfood chicken nuggets?

Also I just ate a homemade ham on danish rye, really helped a lot

These things are great. You can focus on the part of the menu you are interested in like just burgers, just sides, just drinks, etc. The print is big enough and close enough that you don't need to squint even as your eyes fail with middle age myopia. And you can stare at it for as long as you want without the pressure of anyone waiting for you to make up your mind. They are fantastic.

Apparently the CEO did it out of spite, but they are the best change to Mcdonalds in years. https://www.forbes.com/sites/realsp...e/#72fc3a1a4fbc

They put these in at the McDonald's down the street from me. They lasted about 3 months and then got removed because they just pissed everyone off.

I don't know why McD's wasted however many millions creating these things. They just slow down the ordering process. They should've created an ordering app for phones, lets you create your order whenever/wherever you want, and then submit it and pick it up at the preferred time. Boom, simple

They probably want to sell to the 1/4 of people who still don't have a smartphone. And some people might go down the street to another place instead of fiddling around for an app.

Do you guys have Create Your Taste there? Custom burgers with all sorts of poo poo, like brie, and truffles, bacon slices, fancy cheeses and sauces etc etc. McDonalds wanted to compete with the gourmet burger market here in Aus and seem to be doing well. Those machines are a central part of it because they let you take your time and select the burger you want.

The problem with McD's is you go there if you have 5 bucks or 5 minutes, and Create Your Taste is neither of those. For how long it takes, and how much it is, I'd rather spend the extra 1$ and go to Five Guys. And you *have* to use the machines to order it - they won't let you order at the till or drive-thru.

Back when McDonald's first launched the "tax time" burger and cheese burger deal when they were 10 or 15 cents a piece and a twenty burger limit on both, my friends and I all went in at once and got about 200 burgers total. Then we had a competition to see who could eat the most and I put away 12 of those bad boys. My other friend won with 22 though...
