On McDonalds, a diatribe abouit the "MaKey Dees" in "my" town...

A scree about McDonalds in two part disharmony!

Part 1: 28 July 2006
______My wife went to the local McDonald. She went to the drive up and ordered:
______"One Asian salad with broiled chicken and one club salad with crispy chicken."
______The clerk in the window with the headset replied "did you say two Asian salads, one with crispy chicken and one with broiled?"
______"No! I said one Asian salad with broiled chicken and one Club salad with crispy chicken!"
______"Thank you, please pull up to the next window."
______She got home and I got the two salads out. The highly competient staff at McDonals had given her two Asian salads. That's fine for her, she likes the green crap they put on those Oriental -er- Asian salads. I don't!
______She was all upset and appologizing and I was telling her "it isn't your fault! They fucked up at McDonalds! Anyway, next time we go to the Wyatt Earp McDonalds, we're going inside! Not that that helps much; the last time I ordered "Asian salad with broiled chicken and Club salad with crispy chicken" they screwed it up and I ended up having to tell the "crew" a couple of times what I wanted...

Let's see if matters have improved and if "management" has imposed any "quality control".

Part 2: 3 August 2006:

______I went to McDonalds today and ordered "one Asian salad with grilled chicken to go, one Club salad with crispy chicken to go, medium order of "McNuggetts" (are they chicken?), a medium Diet Coke with ice and a medium Diet Coke without ice".
______Thinking of how my wife had gone through the drive in window last week, made the same order (save for the McNuggets) and got home to discover she’d been given two "Asian" salads, I took the two salads out of the plastic bag.
______They had given me two Club Salads.
______I said "I ordered an Oriental salad and a Club salad. I got two Clubs."
______The check out girl (young woman actually) came over, took the "Asian" salad back and asked "did the Asian salad have the broiled chicken".
______"Yes".
______She brought me over the proper salad and then we had a discussion of the available salad dressings. Until I’d asked about the salad dressings, there had been no mention of salad dressings and there were none in the plastic bag. I got two salad dressings.
______Then, I drove to my wife’s office and told her I’d been late because of the fuckup at McDonalds.
______She noticed that her salad didn’t have the peanuts it was supposed to come with...
______Are they trying to drive us to Arbys or Wendys or Burger King for salads?
______They are succeeding!!!

My retorical question: Let's see if matters have improved and if "management" has imposed any "quality control".

It doesn't look like they have. Maybe they just don't know they've got problems?
