So, which establishments are more common nowadays – McDonald’s, or Starbuck’s Coffee?

Hey beatle, you work right by my finacé! He is working at the Smoothie King inside the Q (temporarily, until he can get into the police acadamy in February). It’s so neat to meet people online that are so close IRL!

On a recent trip to Hong Kong and Macau, I came to understand how invaluable it is that McD’s is worldwide.
Prospective clients tried to serve me dim sum four times. I ate it once, and politely sampled it the last three times. After the closing hand shake, I beat feet to the golden arches.

Since this is the Pit, and my last post was much too laudatory, I’ll just add that McDonalds is a damn site better that those mush-mound, gag reflex and fart inducing sweat pads that White Castle foists off as food.

This is why I only start flame wars, instead of entering them…
I’m with C #3 on this one too. Had a McD’s fix today. Wednesday is $.39 burger day, and we bought 10. Kids and hubby had them for dinner, and I’m taking 2 with me to work tonight - it’s my turn to pull a third.
They’re not great cuisine, and they’re not healthy. But they’re cheap, edible, and not bad for an occasional treat for the kids. The fries are good, the playground is a welcome break after having the kids cooped up in the car all afternoon, the bathrooms are meticulously clean, and they have changing tables in BOTH bathrooms. I, like others, have to laud them for their charity work and their history of hiring the very young, the elderly, and the mentally challenged when no one else would give them a chance. We have a group home here in town and all of it’s residents, (who have Down’s syndrome) are employed at McD’s. Independence would not be possible without stable employment.
Did somebody say McDonald’s?
Ok, Satan, you festering, chancre-poxed cretin, I hope that the next time you’re gagging on an undercooked, e-coli laced, spit-slathered wormburger, the overly amorous Sumo wrestler that Heimlichs your ass snaps one of your brittle, girly-man ribs and drives it through your esophagus.
And the kid at the counter short-changes ya.

Can I just “EEWWWW” with a side of “YUCK.”
I think the only thing edible and that can’t be messed up is their softdrinks. No, scratch that. I ask for diet and always get regular.

Although, this has nothing whatsoever to do with McDonalds, I thought I would share. When I lived in DC, every block you could see a CVS. (Or a People’s as they were called when I first got there.) At two or three corners you could stand there and see not one, not two but three of em.
Overkill? I think so.
Well, mabye not.
The weird thing was, they were all usually busy.

Oh.My.God. I ate that thing. Well, not JUST me, but my sister, mom and I. From that little yellow restaurant… God that was the best food experience I have ever had with baked goods.

I’m gonna close this thing, it shouldn’t have been in the Pit in the first place.
