Delivery orders RUINED McDonald's. Every time I go in there it takes 15-20 minutes because there is driver after driver carrying gigantic bags of McDonald's out of the door for delivery. It didn't used to be like this, you used to order and get your food 2-3 minutes later
>>22116335if it was consistently taking 15-20 minutes to get people through the drive thru the owner would show up and fire everyone. they have a time limit.
>>22116359Does Ronald personally fire them?
>>22116335The trick is to use the driv-thru.They have to keep traffic moving so they prioritize your order. One time I went to McDonald's with my parents and nephews and right as we were parking an entire schoolbus of kids on a field trip arrived and flooded the lobby. It was like 50 kids lined up in front of us at this small town McDonald's. we were FUCKEDSO I had them find a table and took their orders, and then went through the drive-thru, got our food in like 4mins, parked the car and brought it inside and we all ate before any of those snot-nosed tuba players ate. I was my nephews' hero
>>22116359Please pull forward and we'll have an employee bring your order out to your vehicle soon :)
>>22116424that's when you just take the loss and drive off. If you're in a store and they announce a Code Red, Blue, or Orange you drop everything and get the fuck out. Likewise, if you're in a McDonald's drive-thru and hear "Please pull forward and we'll have an employee bring your order out to your vehicle soon :)" you get the fuck out of there. That's how they buy time to ejaculate into your burger and usually the kitchen staff is fairly depleted so they need to all work at it.
>>22116335Serious question /ck/If he was still alive what would he think of the total obliteration of customer goodwill and rampant corporate kikery of todays McDs?
>>22116529he wouldn't give a tit's tits. the McDonald brothers on the other hand....
>>22116335McDonalds ruined McDonalds before delivery.
>>22116532Its still good as fuck when made right.
>>22116535And smaller than it used to be. And far more expensive than it used to be. And not made right 99% of the time.
>>22116548Def smaller and pricier, the one near me is like 60/40 for right orders. And yea 2 combo meals for you and a friend come out to like 24 bucks, insane.
>>22116335>he thinks delivery ruined mcdonald's and not the fact that they changed their cheese from perfection to it's current shitty state
>>22116383>he thinks the mascot is the owneryour brain on mcslop, anons.
>>22116535>still goodnever was, anon.you just like the salty taste of heinz mustard.
>>22116550Bundle For 2 combo here in Australia just went up to $30 last week or so. Even their cheap Chicken n Cheese's have gone up to $4. They were like $3.50 at the start of the year or end of last.
>>22116383Of course not. Ronald is an important man, he has peons that do the firing for him.
Oldtimers, was McDonald's in the 80s really like AI makes it out to be?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwIttUQwxNw
>>22116335Place your order on the app before you leave your house. Thank me later :)
>>22116335Then be like the British and intercept those riders like they're Spanish galleons.
>>22116335your mcdonalds just sucks. i've never had to wait more than 5 minutes
>>22117415They don't start making it until you show up and check in. What's the point?
>>22117406way darker and filled with cigarette smoke
>>22116529Standards were higher back then but he'd be impressed
>>22117057So you think Ronald McDonald is in the Epstein files?
>>22116548What exactly is smaller? Not the fries, not the drinks, not the sandwiches, not the nuggets, not the shakes, or the sundaes... Are you one of those weirdos that believes that big mac meme?
>>22117542Who do you think bankrolled Epstein in the first place?
>>22117044>here in STRAYYAEvery time. Nobody cares. Go make your own internet sites and post there. I hate Australians more than that dude from Kazakhstan hates women.
>>22117973You might not like it but 1 in 5 4channel users are Aussie.
>>22117988>Despite being 13% of the population...
>>22117973Have you made your own internet site?
>>22117973
>>22117537Was smoking allowed in the Playplace?
>>22118081Encouraged, it helped keep the kids calm after they dislocated their jaws and ripped half their teeth out on one of the many iron bars. It built character, too.
>>22117973a fat kangaroo wrote this
>>22116429>they announce a Code RedFucking kek this has to be a trollAre Americans that fat that they have alert codes when they might have to wait 10 minutes for a burger?
>>22116529>what would a rampant corporate kike think about rampant corporate kikeryShow him the profit margins and he would cream his panties
>>22116335I think you should just tip a little extra.
>>22116424And what if I don't? What then huh?Guess what, I'm just gonna stay right here and wait for my food to get to me. thank you very much
>>22117533Not sure when the last time you ordered via app for pickup is, but now you can show up and the order is on the counter waiting. No need to check in, no need to talk to any wagie. Just walk in, grab and go.
>>22118173Theyll have other cars pull around in front of youAnd if you dont move youll probably have the cops called on you by the manager and your car towedMight not fit in the police cruiser though because you sound really fat
>>22118173>>22118327The way you get away with not pulling forward like a pussy bitch is to pretend you're answering your phone and are too busy to listen to what the cashier is saying until they give you your food. (Or actually answer your phone.) Not that I eat at fast food drive thrus.
>>22116335unrelated but where I live delivery order mcdonalds got ruined due to the demand, it tastes like shit unless you go to the restaurant yourself
Chipotle is the place that gets backed up the most by delivery. Good thing I don't eat there anymore. Making your own burrito bowls is way cheaper
>>22117570>that big mac meme?Lol this retarded one?
>>22116359Which is why they mark every order as finished as soon as it hits their system so the owner has no idea. You think Ronald McDonald can watch every store at once? Hes just a clown not a god.
My local McDonald's seems to be run by like 4 people.
>>22118593We were doing that shit back in 1989. If no one has caught on since then, despite so many openly discussing it, they're complete and utter morons.
>>22118101The Officer Big Mac climb-in jail was the bomb. You could even climb up into the hat and look out. Pic related must have been an early model because the ones I saw had too many bars on them to be able to climb out from the jail section.
>>22118579Didn't they come out with a bigmac Sr and Jr or something then they removed the Sr and regular bigmac, and left you with the Jr size at the regular bigmac price. Lol eat the goyslop.
why the fuck would you even order McDonald's when you're already at homeyou can whip up your own burger in ten minutes which tastes a million times a better
>>22118602The number of employees has decline by 2/3rds since their peak employment but they have more stores than they did back then. It's a combination of automation, better equipment, and tolerating longer service times. People forget how quick McD's used to be or they're too young to have ever experienced it. In pic related I see seven employees plus a manager just on the front end. Probably were as many in the kitchen plus several more on the drive-thru.
>>22118615Yes, there were three sizes for a while but I can't speak to if they kept the Jr. as the only size when they went back to just one size.
>>22118190Its probably been a year now. But that was my experience. I selected in-store for pickup so I can see it and feel it. I'd have to check in and it'd say >we'll start making your shit now!Cool, why did I use the app when I could've just ordered at the kiosk? I know McDs has been prioneering new system and basically putting your order under a heatlamp, but I've long deleted the app and haven't had McDonalds in probably a year now. I think I deleted the app when I wanted some nostalgia slop of mcdoubles, mchickens, fries, and a drink. Even with the app deals it was like $10 so I deleted the order and deleted the app. indigestion and probable latent diarrhea isn't worth $10 to me anymore.
>>22118615no
>>22116424every time they've dontme those to me its maybe 5 minutes tops sometimes immediately like why they even bother, anypuou actually get a hot burger. Now if KFC asks thats when you wait 30 minutes and have to go back inside to find out they never made it
>>22118593Just about all McDonald's have video now. The owner can literally pull up the cameras on his phone and see exactly what's going on. That guy is right, though it might take some complaints to get them looking. >>22118604In '89 the drive through timers were actuated by the serve buttons. Hell, we'd ring up waters (didn't charge for it then), ketchup, creamer... Anything to get a few more orders through and get the times down, even if they didn't really exist. Now the timers are actuated magnetically like a stop light, the serve buttons don't do shit. The time starts when a car pulls up to the speaker and stops when they leave the presenter's window. So no, not quite complete and utter morons.
>>22120065so what do places like this do about drive offs when the wagie takes too long to speak up?
>>22120065Not at the location I worked. It had sensors under the pavement and a big digital clock above the drive-thru window. Funny thing is that it was never the regular employees that cared about the time, it was the managers who would burst a blood vessel if someone sat there, checking through their bag, handing food around to other in the car, etc. while still sitting at the window.
>>22117988During aussie hours which is the middle of the night in the civilized world
>>22116335>americans have too much corn syrup coursing through their brains that they couldn't possibly order ahead online, spend a couple minutes getting ready to drive there, drive there, park there and go inside (walking is a tough activity for most sharts) and get their food just as it's being finished
>>22118635>I know McDs has been prioneering new system and basically putting your order under a heatlampanon...heatlamps have been used for decades in restaurants...
I had McDonald's yesterday and now my farts smell like McChickens
>>22116394Pretty much. I've made the mistake of going in during a dinner rush at Hardees because my driver window wasn't working. 40 minutes later, I'm still waiting with an assortment of other people while the drive thru was cycling people through.This was before DoorDash or any of that was common.
Who the fuck is ordering mcdonalds for delivery? That food is “good” for approximately 5 minutes after they hand you the bag. Why yes I want cold soggy food that’s been sitting on a counter for 5 minutes and then spent half an hour in a car driven by some brownoid who probably stole a few fries too.People are cattle
>>22120276When I went over to my sister's house a few months ago, I saw DoorDash pull up. They were delivering milk and a few other grocery items to my nephew. The nephew who works at a grocery store. The nephew who had a shift at the grocery store earlier that day. For some reason he still used DoorDash to deliver groceries to him instead of picking them up while he was at work. Granted, he does work at a local Whole Foods knock off, but if he thinks those prices are too high, he passes both a Meijer and a Kroger on the way home. But for people his age, using an app to have things delivered to their door quickly is integrated into their way of thinking.
>>22120276*raises paw* you get decent deals with uber eats sometimes. i don't eat any fast food "fresh" anyway, I just have it sitting there until I'm hungry. plan ahead.
>>22116335You deserve it for going to mcdonalds, fatty
Or they could hire more actual humans instead of those useless piece of shit tablet things or wasting money on whatever that AI crap was from a couple years back. Saying it's the fault of deliveries is lieke saying that you don't like that demand exists.
>>22118111americans keep a family pack of oreos in their car in case they get hungry on the way to mcdonalds
>>22120276this you have to eat it in the car out of the drive-thru within no more than 10 minutes or it becomes inedible and microwaving it doesn't help>inb4 lol anon it's all inedible at all times lul
>>22122592OP didn't go to McDonald's. That's the source of him complaint.
>>22116335Why aren't you ordering ahead? I place an order and it's nearly ready when I get there.
>>22116359The one near me is more like 45 minutes and they usually forget half the stuff you order. I don't know why they still try to sell burgers, they already remodeled the restaurant to look like a prison cafeteria, so the owner could simply rent out the building to a more efficient business and make more money that way than by serving like three customers an hour. If you go inside you literally can order off a kiosk and then sit down for 45 minutes while listening to some employee screaming that she needs six nuggets.
>>22116335you can order before arriving, just like you could before delivery services as smart phone apps became commonstop being a child
>>22116335>eating at McDonalds You are an HSTS
>>22120185>anon...heatlamps have been used for decades in restaurants...uh huh. Whats the point of ordering ahead through the app if its just going to sit under the same heat lamp?
>>22123299it's so that the food keeps warm in case you're late for picking up your mealotherwise they'd get a "WHY IS MY FOOD COLD I SHOULD GET A REFUND" from a guy who otherwise would be all "I DONT ORDER AHEAD OF TIME AND I SHOULD GET A FREE DRINK OR A COUPON FOR WAITING 10 MINUTES"
I haven't eaten fast food or been inside a fast food joint for 17 years now.
>>22123143>29 tonnes
>>22123379I say this too
>>22122595I don’t expect fast food workers to be bubbly or super nice or anything but nowadays they’re all staffed by 5 ft tall tortas who don’t look you in the eyes or even reply when you say “thank you” to them, just throw the bag at you and then scurry off, they’re basically robots already, I would replace them all with machines in a second. At least I’m not subsidizing a robot’s welfare to pop out 10 more little goblinas
>>22116531Why don't we have larger then life signs like this anymore?
>>22124385how is getting paid for a job "welfare"?
>>22116335Thers some chinese take out place on the corner and they just make it like an ordinary take out place. They put the food in a hot bag on a fold out table. "Say name get bag go now!" Its very efficient.
>>22116531Ah yes, I'd trust a couple of micks over a clown...

>>22117019He showed up and fired the manager at my local Mickey Dee's once. Here's proofhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-dM7Bo7Dg0
>>22116335>gigantic bags of McDonald'sDoes a Brinks security guard accompany these guys now?McDonalds is expensive AF now.Probably $20 minimum per adult male, to be fullI'm not kidding, do the math.
>>22124752It’s 12$ for a deluxe quarter pounder meal where I live. If you need 20$ worth of McDonald’s to feel full you need to seek help you fucking pig.
>>22116335There was something to ruin?
>>22124661>youre ronald Mc fuckin fired
>>22116394Should I buy another car dedicated for drive-thru? My town judges.
>>22124876>quarter pounder mealAre you 15, and only 120 lbs?I'm not a big guy, 5'10 170, but I can easily eat the Double Quarter pounder meal, and have room for probably another cheeseburger. (I don't drink the soda, however)
>>22125077Just because you can eat another cheeseburger, doesnt mean you shouldml.
>>22125098Way to miss the overarching point.1. Portions are smaller2. Prices are higher.Sure, it's garbage food.It's also a good gauge on Inflation.
>>22125121Quarter pounders are still pretty big, you dont NEED 2..
>>22125142Pussy lightweight.
>>22125121What portions are smaller? Dude from 1989 here, everything is still the same size, but no super size now is all. Sandwiches are all the same size, small and medium fries are as well (large is 1oz smaller than super size was), large drinks went from 32 to 30 oz where I am like, 15 years ago because of some stupid law in New York, but the rest are the same size... What are you talking about?
>>22116424"No."They'll ask again.Politely decline again.You will be astonished at how fast your food suddenly appears.
>>22125169They will wipe your burger on their shoes or floor though. Half the guys there are petty like that. Guess how I know.
>>22116335I notice now that all fast food particularly mcdonalds serves patties sat under a lamp now. Its like nothing is actually cooked anymore, just jeets microwaving/heat lamping slop.When I was a kid the double cheeseburger had a bit of juice, was hot and was cooked, the fries were hot and dropped for you fresh (not sat in a pit under a lamp being dry) and the drinks were icy but not full of the stuff to cheapen the liquid content.Now everything costs nearly quadruple and portions are worse. I haven’t eaten that shit for years because the quality and cost is just so bad. Maybe next time I need to say “hey, actually prep and make my meal from scratch, don’t just assemble it with shit thats been laying there all day…”
