My missus and I made the mistake of getting cheeseburgers with five layers of meat and cheese from maccas, she ended up sick for a day and I was only slightly better off being sick for a few hours after eating it. Never again

The scary thing about Cheeseburgers from Maccas is that I don't get full from eating heaps of them - the only thing that stops me is the accumulative layer of grease that clogs up my throat but my stomach feels empty still.

Yep maccas is pretty bad and since they brought in the new cooked to order method half the time the meat is still cold.

Jeez that's pretty bad. I remember once I waited for over 5 minutes at their Drive Thru and got given a free Big Mac token - did not expect it and was NOT even frustrated that my burger didn't come any sooner - I was just chilling out in my car and suddenly just got given it. I don't mind having to wait for a burger, but I guess either people aren't as patient as they used to be or that Fast Food chains are really putting pressure down on those teenage workers lol

Well, it is supposed to be *fast* food, not take as long as normal takeaway venues. McDonalds used to set the standard on *fast* food, because you could walk in or drive up to it, and the food would already be there ready for you to buy and go. If they are no more convenient/faster than others, then they lose that advantage in 'fast food' stakes.

Yeah I know, well at least they give out free Big Macs when they don't live up to their standards!

If you have a craving for junk food, but afraid that you'll keep having that craving on frequent occasions I suggest going all out in 1 go, that way you feel so sick of the food you don't want to come back for it in a while.

Today, I had a craving for maccas. 2 Quarter Pounders and 2 McDoubles. :O I do not want to look at a burger for about a month now!
