McDonalds Blows

So me and my buddy decide to make a McDonalds run....so we head over to McDonalds and we pull into the drive-thru...there is only one car ahead of us, so we are waiting behind this car. After about 90 seconds the car ahead of us starts honking their horn, as if nobody was answering the intercom. They honked again another 30 seconds later...then finally..after about another minute their order gets taken and they pull up.
Then we pull up, and the following is my conversation with the drive thru:
McDonalds: Welcome to McDonalds, can I take your order? Me: yes, i'll have 4 double cheeseburgers please. McDonalds: I'm sorry, double cheeseburgers are unavailble after 11pm. Me: um.....ok......i'll have 4 cheeseburgers please.... McDonalds: I'm sorry, it is after 11 pm...we are on the late night menu.....
At this point my buddy points to the clock in my car...and it reads 11:00........it then dawns on us that they were not answering the drive thru until after 11pm...thus making sense of the honking car in front of us. We thougt about it...and we sat there a good 3-4 minutes behind that other car. I think this is a BS move by McDonalds..basically forcing their customers to order specific items only available on that menu. of course the items include value meals and special shit like ice cream and other crap....since we only had about 5 bucks...we couldnt afford anything else...we went across the street to BK.
just thought you guys would get a kick out of that

Haven't eaten there for a good 5-6 years.
Obviously I agree with the McD blowing opinion :P.

besides being horrible for your body, a greedy corparation, and the cause of many a obese oprah watching whales, mcdonalds aint that bad
BTW, i never heard of that late night menu shit, we have 24 hr mcdicks here and, besides the breakfeast items, you can order whatever you want regardless of times. Thats pretty fucked that they have a specialized menu for late night runs.

I ate nothing but Mcdonalds while in Las Vegas this past halloween.
Five days I survived on nothing but whiskey, Mcdonalds, acid, and molly.
They should write a book about me.

Speak to the main or district manager or franchesee right away. Let them know that they waited until after 11 to let you order, then restricted your order. I bet the manager will fix it.
What this means is that the assistant manager was there, and ran out of precooked food and went fuck it. I bet 5 bucks the head guy will be apologetic if you approach him politely.

I agree for similar reasons. I went to a McD's a few weeks ago..
I couldn't get a McChicken after midnight. I pouted and stuff, then left.

Yeah man, that's some bullshit. And the late night menu stuff is twice the price it is during the day.

I myself am not really one that eats a breakfast very often. This usually is because I wake up around lunch, and just generally like lunch better.
Well, when I do wake up before like 9am or something, and I get hungry kinda early, its somewhat annoying when places will not serve me a burger because it is too early :P. Thats when I turn to my love, hot pockets.

I thought the service is great. But the fact that i dont eat it more then 3 times a year do to the fact i feel like im going to die!!!!!! Just from eating a double cheese burger!!!!!!!! Shit must really fuck up my system hardcore for a reaction of cramps and lethargy.
Only reason i ate it was cuz i didnt eat anything untill the MICCY DZZZZ at 5:30 pm. That and i forgot how much it sucked and the only reason it tasts so damn good is cuz the fatty oils coat my tunge.......

We have a 24hr McDonalds here and they also do the Late Night Menu. All the items are over 4 bucks and its gay. We usually just end up going to a local eatery instead.

I stay away from McDonalds as much as possible. Not only are they retarded and get your order wrong, the food makes me sick after a period of not eating it for a while.

I dont know, folks, McDonalds really isnt that bad. Sometimes i actually crave a double cheeseburger value meal. It's only good when the fries are actually fresh and the coke isnt flat...which isnt often.
