No fried pies anymore? I guess I haven't been in a McD's in a long time. I loved those cherry pies.
I prefer McDowell's.
Yep. They haven't fried the pies in a long time. They're some kind of cardboard crust now that's pretending to be "baked" that's really just warmed up in a warmer. Nasty things.
I actually ate at McDs today. The $1 cheeseburger and a $1 large Diet Coke. Nothing else. Then I sat in the parking lot eating it and did the "survey" online on my phone on the web browser and multitasked that for a free Egg McMuffin with purchase of one.
Yep, all 10 out of 10... or whatever their high score was. It's like a video game to me to see how fast I can do it.
Then I write down the little code you get and once in a while decide I want two mcmuffins for a breakfast that'll be plenty of food to not bother with lunch.
I already have my own coffee with me in the car in the morning, so I just stop when we had a light dinner and I'm not planning on leaving the office for lunch and grab the BOGO mcmuffins. If I really don't feel like two of them, I'll give one to a co-worker.
I make their loss leaders pay off pretty hard. LOL. $2 + whatever a mcmuffin is these days and I've eaten twice and probably shared breakfast with someone else.
Hardly anyone will turn down a McMuffin and Cheapskates-R-Us me, poking on the phone through a silly review website, got the silly thing for free anyway. "Here, I got you a McMuffin..." heh.
Sometimes I sweet talk the drive thru folks -- if they'll play along -- I have a coupon for a buy one get one egg mcmuffin here but what I'd really prefer is sausage McMuffins... any way you could do that?
LOL... it works more often than you'd think it should. Their staff doesn't care. Unless you run into the morning "manager in training" who's all gung ho. Or a by the book cashier. Works more than it doesn't.
I remember many a day when I pounded down many a double quarter pounder. Nowadays the silly little single $1 cheeseburger is a portion size that's usually just fine by me. It's mostly bun, but who cares? It's crap, but it's damned cheap. If I'm bothering to stop at all, it's just because I screwed up my schedule somehow and didn't make a sandwich before leaving home. The little cheeseburger will tide me over until I get to where I can have a reasonable meal, without bothering to pay $10 for a silly sub sandwich somewhere.
The Diet Coke is just my own little addiction. I could be an ass and order a water. Haha.
Probably the best thing in the $1 cheeseburger is the pickle. Hahaha. I should start asking for extra pickles. Hahaha.
