I think if you did that at my local McDonald’s ypu might actually get the chutney, Subway offers Chadon Beni sauce after all lol.

He isn’t getting McDonald’s nuggets delivered; he’s comparing nugget delivery from a different nugget source with the experience of purchasing nuggets from McDonald’s.

What kind of cheese would you like?  
Would you like it toasted?  
What toppings do you prefer?  
What dressing would you like?  
Will there be anything else?

Actually, they do deliver in Jakarta, and also in Cairo.

I know your life is so much better now that you know this vitally important, er, nugget of information.

And you can blame the lack of condiments on the counter on people who treat McDonalds as a food shelf. When places put packets of ketchup, mustard, salt, BBQ sauce, salad dressing, etc out for people to choose from, some people take a few - and then have ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, etc at home. If your margins are pretty good, this isn’t a big deal (Famous Dave’s around here is pretty generous on sauces to take home - but then the meal is pretty expensive), when your margins are those of a McDonald’s franchisee - someone snagging an extra honey mustard gets expensive.

Meh, I can see 7e42’s point. He goes to Mickey Dee’s for McNuggets. He doesn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.

_ **WRONG!** _  
(I was going to link to a very old post about the fucking Spanish Inquisition that is ordering a sandwich from Subway, but I guess its too old.)

Let’s just say that “Everything” doesn’t have the same meaning for Subway as elsewhere in the civilized world.

I can’t decide if I’m more offended by the idea of someone having chicken nuggets delivered to their home, or by the excessive use of lol in this thread.

Are you paying for one of each sauce? Have you ever run a restaurant? Each and everything costs and customers don’t seem to understand that.
