    Default Guess I am just getting old and beligerent.


    Am I the only one??? As most of you know, I am a cook. Love to eat, therefore, love to cook. All through my years of learning to get the best taste out of a dish, I have not forgot that "you eat with your eyes first". If it does not look good, chances are, it is not gonna taste that good. Now for my rant.
    WILL THE FAST FOOD PLACES EVER LEARN THIS SIMPLE STATEMENT???
    I only get a hamburger on the go about once a month, but, every time, I have to either stack it back up, or slide the meat back on the bun because it is hanging half off etc. etc. One of these days I am gonna be locked up for disturbing the peace because I am going in one of these places, order something, unwrap it right there on the counter and ... asking, rather loudly, "WHY DON'T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT PICTURE UP THERE???". If they are gonna spend millions on advertising, making things look just right, I believe I ought to be getting what they are advertising, not something just thrown together by someone who don't care what it looks like...."Long as I get my $7.00 and hour."
    Ok, I'll climb back down off my soapbox now and go eat a Tums.

    Default Always wondered...

    the same thing. How come the burgers never look as good as the pics? Guess they figure once you're in the door, the sale is done.

    Give 'em the what's up for me too Center.

    I actually think they are counting on that.....either that....or that your in one heck of a hurry and betting you won't take the time to come up to the counter and raise a stink.
    I'm gonna do it though, one of these days. Just have to make sure the wife is not with me and I have my cell phone so I can call her to bail me out.

    It's sad to say but, respect & responsability is becoming a lost genetic trait.

    Is it just me or do they save the old, cold fries for the drive-thru customers? I guess they are hoping you will be home before you try one & won't make the trip back up there to complain.

    And, I would say they are not trying to fool anyone given the sub par assembly of the product.:D
