<< I used to work there, and everything is made fresh now. McDonald's has a new grill system where everything is made to order, and all the buns are made really hot and that way they don't have to use the microwaves(q-ing ovens as they call them) anymore. >>

I used to work there too and before they had the q-ing ovens, or McNukers, as I called them (pissed off some managers, many of whom took their &quot;career&quot; at McDonals'd way too seriously), every thing was made fresh. When you ordered a special 1/4 pounder, you had to wait 5 minutes for the beef to cook. Those McNukers were rolled around '91-92 out without realizing what an impact the new process (called staging) would have on food quality. Big corporate wastefulness in a middle-management heavy corporation. Another example: Face to Face drive-through ordering. It really slowed down the line. All the McD's in my area have installed standard speaker box/headset systems again. Ha-ha!

A&amp;W is the best, they have the best root beer. Too bad their prices are pretty steep.
