Ok so you all know how I just LOVE fast food (NOT!)...how I am totally disillusioned with food service in general and am not surprised with lousy service or product these days...so I really shouldn't be surprised.... but I am....sorta...
We are in the midst of spring break which for the me and the kids means a lot of running around going from one activity to another...which means I am occasionally breaking my rule of no fast food..sometimes it's just too crazy to NOT stop and grab a quick bite while going from one place to another. So the other day having come from town and Sams orthodonist, the next stop was the base over on the other side of town where the kids and I were getting our hair done (boys cut, Paige a trim..me a cut and colour!)...it was a rainy nasty day and I was in a hurry....so McDonalds it was. Bens favourite thing there is the southern style chicken sandwhich...mainly because it is so plain. I decided to join him in his culinary venture and ordered the same thing. Now about the ONLY thing on this sandwhich aside from a fried chicken patty (don't even get me started on THAT!) is pickles. PLURAL I had assumed. Nope..Bens had ONE. One small tiny round slice of a pickle. I thought that maybe because they were SO busy that he just got short changed. I checked my sandwhich. Same small, tiny, round slice of pickle. ONE pickle. Now I know we are in a recession, but does McDonalds seriously think that ONE little tiny (did I mention how SMALL this thing was?) pickle in the middle of a sandwhich constitutes anything we should be paying for? I mean, seriously..what's the point in even putting this thing on the sandwhich?
Yah..it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things...but gall dang it, when I pay for a 'southern style fried chicken sandwhich on a soft southern style bun with butter and pickles' I expect pickleS.....plural...not one sad little thing in the middle of a patty...
sigh....lesson learned. I spent $30 bucks for the four of us at McD's...and got ripped off. Next time, I'll take my $30 bucks and at least get PICKLES at subway! :)
Hugs to all,
Jaye

Ben can have my pickles. Last night, I went to BK and ordered a bacon double cheeseburger with lettuce and mayo. Nothing else. I got a bacon double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, and two huge pickle slices. Really? Is it really that hard?
I was reading somewhere lately that with the economy the way it is, places like McDonalds aren't hiring high school kids, as they now have the pick of the crop...they have college grads applying for work..and I thought 'Well maybe NOW we'll see an improvement'.
Uh..not so far...
And Ben would LOVE to take your pickles...I actually offered him my ONE measly one! lol
