It's not from the food, it's because the guy jizzed on it. That's another one of my fears with those places. You roll through the drive through in a brand new Camaro and the minimum wager thinks what a douche in a nice car I should spit in his food because I think I deserve that car more than he does.....my life is miserable, and misery likes company....

I only buy three things from old Ronald - the hash browns, vanilla milkshakes and the value Double Cheeseburger... They've recently started installing automated order takers in the stores, normally I hate the things (Unexpected Item, Age Check, Tags) but if they hadn't I probably wouldn't know that I can add extra onion, gherkin, lettuce & mustard for free. The only drawback is the cheese is never melted enough when you eat one right away, it really does need to fester a little first.

I prefer the automated screen to having to try and reason with some kid that doesn't really want to be there and asks too many questions.

^Agreed.
I haven't eaten lunch at McDonald's in a long time, but every once in a while I will get their breakfast. I like those McGriddle sandwiches.

I was just remembering this thread today, the McDonald's near me keeps opening up late. Once it was 30 minutes but then today it was almost an hour. I know what's happening, the employees there are probably taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic and showing up late everyday, then the manager is a pushover who's afraid to get onto them. I can understand the late opening happening once or twice, but 3 times within a 2 week period really says something. I sent a complaint to their corporate this time, hopefully they'll fix it. I worked in a kitchen for 5 years, had 7 different bosses in that time and one was a complete pushover, more interested in being friends with the employees than making sure things were done right. Most of them would show up late and then leave early, I used to sneak away early before anyone else could do it to me. One day I walked away and left, didn't tell anyone and never went back.
I'm pretty sure the same thing is happening at that McDonald's.

I'm pretty sure the same thing is happening at that McDonald's. I worked in the kitchen at a fast food restaurant one summer when I was in high school (as both the cook and dishwasher). It's a hard and unappreciated job. Not sure how anybody could do it for 5 years without getting burnt out sooner. Employee turnover is very high. Low wages are the top priority though, so they accept the high turnover.

I was young at the time and stayed longer than I should have, it was fine for most of that time although it was hard and underappreciated for sure (like you said). Also was making close to $9 an hour which was decent for kitchen work at the time. It wasn't until last 1-2 years in that place that it started crashing and burning, I heard that manager and a bunch of employees were fired shortly after I left.
That place was a nightmare in those last days I was there, it got a severe mouse infestation and they were trying to coerce us into keeping it quiet. The owners didn't even care, they would make excuses like there were only mice in there because it was cold outside. There were mice because most everyone would never clean up after themselves in the place and just leave a mess everywhere, sometime I'd even see that pushover manager cleaning up after employees instead of telling them to do it (they'd usually be sitting around in the breakroom or even her office instead, while she did their work). My last few weeks there, I was showing up 1-2 hours late and then ducking out early until one day I decided not to be there anymore.
All the other McDonald's locations around open on time and a few are 24 hours, so this one is definitely doing something wrong.
*edit* I will say this about the kitchen I worked in, I had some good friends there. One passed away shortly before I quit, then a few more some years after. I went back on a few occasions to visit them after closing, even helped wash the dishes and clean up even though I wasn't getting paid. I walked away from that job to save my own sanity, but I always felt bad about leaving the good people.

That AI generated stuff reminds me of fever dreams I had when I was sick with influenza B. COVID felt like nothing compared to that.

That AI generated stuff reminds me of fever dreams I had when I was sick with influenza B. COVID felt like nothing compared to that. Certainly, the flu has much, much greater damage potential than any coronavirus. At its worst, earlier strains of COVID, the mortality rate was a mere 1-2%. With the Spanish flu, early 20th century, some think the mortality rate (for ppl who caught it) was as high as 50%.

imo, something that confuses people, including the "experts," about cold viruses is that they typically kill through co-morbidities. i.e. they weaken the immune system enough so that some secondary factor kills the infected person/s. This scrambles the stats, particularly when there are human biases & politics thrown into the mix. For example, Jim Henson (the Muppets creator) officially died of Pneumonia, even though it was a case of the flu that weakened his immune system and allowed Pneumonia to take hold. Had he not died from that, then survived until COVID pandemic, got infected with COVID and then died from Pneumonia, the stat keepers would've likely recorded his cause of death as COVID due to the heavy politicization surrounding COVID. Officials don't track flu deaths nearly as closely as covid deaths because they look at old data for the flu estimate, but it's at least 100's of thousands annually. ourworldindata.org/influenza-deathsFlu vaccines work, but only when they accurately predict which of the dozens of strains (annually) is going to spread the most and incorporate those strains into the yearly updated vaccine. That is, there's the potential for something like Spanish flu 2.0 to sneak by them and kill millions. Currently, my employer (a top hospital, ranking 1 or 2 in many areas) doesn't require us to get the updated Covid vax, but they do require the flu vax every year. That says alot about flu vaccine effectiveness. In my personal experience, the flu vax has prevented me from catching the flu most of the years that I got the vax.
