fvckin mcdonalds near my house is so cheap with the fries now. and they are charging 10cents for additional condiments.

and for breakfast, they give very few butter/jelly/syrup for multiple orders.

The mcdonalds near my school is still pretty ok though about it.

Some of those condiments are expensive. I got an order thrown at me because the woman wanted 10 BBQ sauce cups for a 6pc nugget. I tried to charge her for 4. She's only supposed to get 1, but I thought I'd be nice and give her 5 free.

Not good enough it would seem.

Worst advertising campaign ever. Who the hell are they trying to appeal to?

What are we supposed to be "lovin'"? The fattening of north american youths?

We have to play it on our Oldies station. One second: "Imagine" by John Lennon, then "YO YO YO YO", a McDonald's commercial.

We don't really have a choice.

well, the only real point of the commercial is that you assosciate it in your brain. mcdonalds may intentionally make a bad commercial, so you'll keep thinking about it.

and keep thinking about it, that translates into when your office asks where do people want to go for lunch today, first place that comes to mind is bang, you guessed it, mcdonalds.

it's better to be hated than not be known at all.

edit:


oh yeah, and i really hate those fvcking commercials.

God that man is great. :p

Anyone who has an emotional bond with McDonald's, or anyone who can relate anything they love about life to a company that sells deep fried processed chicken meat should be stabbed in the face. The only bond this campaign is rekindling is that of my ass to the toilet. I'd rather have my skin sand blasted off than eat another pig rectum sandwich from McDonald's.

:beer::D

I'm with him on this one.. I'm not only not "lovin' it", I'm not "gellin'", and nor do I love Raymond.

I too have taken issue with the dubious claim that "everyone" loves him.
