I don’t usually post other people’s gripes, I make them comment on mine, but I happen to really like the person who sent this to me and I agree with her. Plus, I have my own issues with her story…<\/p>\n
“I have a rant of my own. (We) went to McDonald’s yesterday, and ordered, you know, a meal for each of us. It cost, like, $11.00 or something and we asked for hot mustard b\/c (we) ALWAYS get it for our fries. Anyway, the bitch proceeds to ask us if we ordered nuggets, then tells us since we did not, it will cost 16 cents a piece for hot mustard. I said f*** that, and had to go without it. My question is, What gives McDonald’s the right to dictate what I put hot mustard sauce on? Hello, what if I do eat nuggets, but I don’t like any of the sauces or I only eat ketchup on them or if I eat them plain? I spent $11.00 on food, they can give me 16 f***ing cents worth of sauce. Give me a break! I was so pissed, I came home and got on the McDonald’s page, but I couldn’t find any place for comments. Not to mention, I know they would only tell me it depends upon the franchise owners and how they choose to do it. Either way, if I want to eat hot mustard sauce on my burger, or on my fries, or whatever, I should be able to! This world has gone crazy!!!

Well, not bad for her first “printed” rant, huh. Anyway, she’s right. I went to McDonald’s today and they refused to honor the $.99 Big N Tasty or the $2.99 combo meal specials they have been advertising in a national commercial. The woman behind the counter said to me, “this is a mall, we don’t have to honor commercials, other stores need the help to get people in, you’re already here”. Yes, but I was only there because of the advertised special otherwise, I don’t eat at McDonalds. Here, they also charge for more than 2 ketchup, salt, pepper, sugar, or cream packets in addition to the charge for nugget sauce (and it makes no difference whether you order nuggets or not, you still have to pay for more than one packet). It’s madness, truly it is! Even Arby’s is in on the game. They charge for water, even if you order a drink and a meal and you just want water with it, too. I can see charging me if all I wanted was water, but when I order 8 bucks worth of crappy food, they should be able to spot me some poison Lake Erie water to wash it down with. To retaliate, I just take extra salt, so I don’t have to pay McDonalds for it! Why do we put up with this crap for bad food and bad service? Is it because we are all overweight and jonesing for some grease? Apparently. Here’s hoping the corporate fat cats are too, at least we would have the satisfaction of knowing they slum with the rest of us long enough to get screwed at their own restaurants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
