We’ve moved to different states and countries 10 times. Sometimes, like in the middle of a drive from Fairfax to Arizona during such a move, the only thing on the road or open is a McDonalds or something equally bad but convenient. You can’t leave pets in the car when it’s hot out, don’t wake to wake a sleeping toddler, and we don’t like to add an hour or more to stop for meals when we’re driving 12 a day anyway. I also work a weekend job where I’m working hard for 10 -12 hours in a row with no time to eat. You know how many options there are at 11pm? People’s lives are different. |
DP but wow, are you serious? Even though moving companies do our packing and moving, it takes weeks or months to get your things delivered. You live out of suitcases for weeks. You drive yourself to the new state with a car packed full of the stuff you need to get you by. I assure you that even if you don’t eat McDonalds during such a miserable, disruptive period, everyone will eat at places they don’t normally eat- or even like. Have you only lived in one neighborhood your whole life? |
I haven't been there since I worked there in high school in the late 70s. |
The last time I had McDonald's was in the Summer of 2010. I took one bite of a hamburger and my, then 3 yo, projectile vomitted (sudden onset stomach bug). From that day, I have a bad association with McDs and will never eat there again. My son's puking was diffuse and powerful. People in the line of fire continued eating as if nothing happened. I hope they enjoyed the norovirus. |
What is "littles"? is that a typo? |
Due to changes in diet, I haven't been to McDonalds since about 2006. |
Insufferable and hysterical, both at the same time! |
I have not had any fast food of any kind since 2019. I have not ate at a restaurant since feb 2020. I prepare all my own meals. |
I went to one recently for a coffee. The people in line were obese, the floor was greasy, and the workers looked so unkempt and downtrodden.
I walked out before ordering. McDonald's is probably 100x more palatable via drive-thru so you don't see how gross the clientele and workers are. |
I can’t resist an egg McMuffin for road trips. It’s the only good thing they make. |
They'd be passable if they came with real syrup. But floppy steamed pancakes with corn syrup fake maple syrup is nasty. |
No, I have lived all up and down the East Coast and in several foreign countries. Which also had McDonalds. I didn’t eat there either. |
How much weight did you lose? |
Decades?
I'm always surprised when I learn someone does eat at McDonalds. |
It's been about a week and I am really missing it! |
