McDonald's and sheeple

Queuing for an hour is convenient?

some people are sad ***** that would much rather have **** food and wait an hour rather than cook them selves and get food in 30mins or less

That's good. The appeal is convenience - rather than having to go home to cook, you pay someone else to cook it for you.

Can't believe the appeal needs explaining to another fully grown adult really - it's not particularly my cup of tea, but I'm able to comprehend why others might like it.

Going out just to go to a drive through at a McDonald's seems weird to me. If you're going to travel for the purpose of eating that's the last place I'd go, so many better options even now.

When you go out for something to eat do you always go to the same expensive restaurant because it’s the best place to eat?

Anyone that says I don’t understand why xyz says more about you than them.

Sad is judging other people for wanting to have something they can't make themselves.

I really wouldn't mind a Big Mac, tbh. Not queueing an hour for one, though.

Janesy B · 3 Jun 2020 at 21:26

I've made my own burgers at home, but I still miss a big mac and milkshake.

It's bloody marvellous reading people get so salty about how others spend their own money

I love a nice McDonald’s, but I wouldn’t queue up for one. Luckily the Welling branch delivers.

Loving the first few pages of predictable comments - you can build a better house than you can buy, but I don't see everyone doing that

This is spot on for a lot of people on this forum

I, for one, am delighted that the Woking MacDonald’s drive through is reopening. I’ll probably have to make a celebratory trip

Honestly don't think it's got much to do with 'being lazy' or anything like that atm, more like a comfort thing that by having a Mcdonald's it's a sign life is returning to normal.

One of my local McDonalds has just re-opened and although I can happily cook a burger at home after a few days of the madness subsiding I will be making a trip as there is something about a McDonalds itch that nothing homemade can scratch. No it's not good for you but it taste's nice and too many people are basing their opinions of it off a 13 year old documentary imo, the ingredients have changed a lot, its not good for you but its no more unhealthy now than a ready to eat meal in a supermarket. I want a Big Mac.

It also isn’t though is it? It’s close to 50% more expensive on steak night and more than double the rest of the week.

It’s also closed and will be for some time.

Very prudish thread, even for GD! If people want to queue for food for hours, let them have at it! Not sure it has any baring on there personality... I once sat chained to my laptop for 3 hours trying to get gig tickets.

I don't get it myself. I mean I don't hate McDonalds but I don't love it either, just waiting an hour for FAST food seems like it's defeating the point a bit.
