Whats with all the hating? If its such a stupid thread then why did you open it? Seen plenty of dumber crap posted and talked about on here.

And to the op-You cant judge anything on one store dude. Theres 5 maccas' in my town, and I pretty much live on the stuff, and I've had to wait not even 5 times out of the 3 years I've been going to them. Most of the time, after I leave the pay window, the bag is hanging out of the collect window. Hungry Jacks/red rooster/kfc is always a bit of a wait, but thats because the food is awesome.

Drive through kebab shop just up the road, open 24 hrs in the weekends, love it. Had a few 3am chicken/lamb kebabs lately. Gotta love insomnia.

Maccas get you to park so they can get other people moving who's orders are ready, instead of everyone being stuck beind you.

Couldn't agree more, some people on the forum are so rude and up themselves it almost ruins the experience and puts a bad name to the forum. If you don't have anything constructive or nice to say don't! Don't like the thread, don't open it. It is simple. Amazing how everyone is a hero behind the keyboard and it sh*ts me.

I think its a fair thread, most of uf use the service at some stage, the shoppi g centre is not far from me and with it close by all the major fast food shops,

I might add the food and service varies between all of them, it would seem they more often than not dont seem to train their employees properly because id say more often than not they get the order wrong or forget to put something in the order.

ever tasted cold card board nuggets ...... They must pre cook them yesterday , at least they are consistent.......... seriously......
kentucky, red rooter, hungry jacks nuggets are all good, I think there's one I have missed from the list.....
.............. as for mistakes by the drive through staff at all of these local drive through........ good grief....... company training must be lax or almost non existent , another bug bear, some of th3se drive through places must use 1960s intercom technology because you have to repeat the order 3 times at the speaker ....... and they still stuff the order up.
I might add these places have been local for years....... ben hur in his chariot used to get drive through.

True that. Seems if you aren't one of the "cool kids" around here, then you're nothing.

The beauty of it is that I have a few hundred threads backlogged waiting for a run. Then there is the recycled threads from years past coming up for renewal.

yes I drive traffic to the site... as they say "milkshake brings all the fords to the yard"

just dont let these food chains dish up poor service with their soggy fries

Well when it comes to junk food, I consume more calories per day than a small African Nation.

I don't order fast food because all the female staff at my local maccas are ridiculously hot and I don't want to seem like a fatty by ordering greasy food from them... also I don't drive any more.

First world problems!

I cannot understand how people eat MacDonalds, it is beyond disgusting.
Even ignoring how horribly unhealthy it is, it just tastes like spew.

How about you walk in to one of the many family owned fast food shops who serve up something similar in most cases better quality .
