Rubin Farr Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 so we stopped by a McD's the other day bc my father insists on eating that shit, and inside they've taken this gourmet coffee bullshit to a new level. not only do they have this nasty imitation brown sludge they are charging like $3 a cup for, but now there is a couch, a "lounging area" and desks to plug laptops into. yeah ok, around here (Texas) the shiftiest homeless looking people I see are in McDonald's all the time harassing the employees and panhandling outside, classy. now, Burger King is following suit. they are remodeling 12,000 of their restaurants worldwide with this funky Toys R Us looking interior to offset the awful food. will everything end up being Starbuck's? why don't they just start selling enviro-friendly-eco-regenerative burgers handmade by some village in the third world to make themselves feel better at night.

OneToThirtySix Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Our McDonald's on the main drag was literally folded up into a trash heap and transported away within a day. I nearly wrecked because there was just earth where it used to be. This was in the middle of September. A sign says "New McDonald's in November!" Sure enough, this modern style building is shooting upwards at a pace I've never seen any other building project go at in my life. It's like their ticky-tacky buildings are as automated and precisely executed as their shitty food, which is why your order is waiting for you at the second window even before you get there. The blame rests squarely on We the People because these places know we're like raccoons--we'll gravitate to the shiniest things whether it's platinum or tin foil. They'll boost sales using the same shitty tasting quasi-food products. I waited for my order tonight . . . and it still tasted like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember saying to a friend in the car as we passed and empty patch of land near our local tescos about 4 weeks ago, I bet they're putting a mcdonalds or some shit there, sure enough, it's about due to open.

I've never seen this before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Don't worry, after a week of being like that, it'll look the same as it ever was, dirty and grungy. However, there is a very simple solution to your angst: don't go to McDonald's I must say though, that the Burger King Bacon Double Cheeseburger set is an excellent hangover meal.

lumpenprol Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 the problem is you've got some ambitious young advertising exec who feels the only way to make his mark is to mess with a tried and true strategy, eg. the Pepsi redesign and other abominations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I've just seen mcdonalds upgrade their coffee machines in the last year or so...and it's actually alright and a lot cheaper than Starbucks. Oh well, I live in a state with Whataburger, so this is all irrelevant to me for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneToThirtySix Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 . . . And on that farm they had shitty coffee they labeled as gourmet so people could be trendy and buy it by the droves, E-I-E-I-O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs to worry about McDonalds when you have the best burger in the Southwest. And McDonald's new coffee offerings are not only cheaper than Starbucks, but they're better tasting, as verified by independent taste tests. ehh, yea, whatever. people just like good coffee. Starbucks is good coffee. McDonalds' coffee is good coffee. there's really not much more to it. Well, the one thing I do like about McDonald's approach to coffee is they're not selling a "attitude" or "lifestyle" like Starbucks is... they're just selling coffee, and using appropriate advertising and visuals to help sell it. I doubt anyone who drinks McDonald's coffee hangs out inside after getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
