I don't know if the Canadian ones are the same as the American ones, but we don't have croissants. There's muffins though.
mcdonalds workers all around the world all are hoping this doesn't come to their store, hahah
I sure as hell hope we don't have to do it, even though we're one of the larger mcdonalds in the city (we've got two large platens and 3 small ones, plus another backup 2 platen grill), there is nowhere enough space in our kitchen, nor time to be worrying about doing fucking pancakes and mcmuffins. I feel bad for those san diego guys.
The breakfast burritos are a guilty pleasure of mine. I know they cant be good for you, but fuck they are delicious.

I never even thought of that. As if working with and managing your lunch items wasn't Hell enough. I shudder at the prospect of going back to work for that place.
I can't wait to order a mcdouble and add egg while it's not between 10:30 and 10:45
I really love their Pancakes, or Hot Cakes, what ever they're called.
Now if only egg mcmuffins weren't so expensive. Probably a good thing. I would go broke.

As someone who worked at a McDonalds here in Canada when I was 16, I hate to tell you this but those pancakes were never cooked fresh. They were premade, frozen in a box and just tossed on the griddle. Of course this was 11 years ago so I don't know if their practices changed. All I remember is being told to "go to the freezer and grab a box of pancakes". Everything there is frozen. The soda dispensers had soda syrup pumped up from the basement and I doubt the pumps were ever cleaned.
Their muffins are made from giant 2 gallon pails full of muffin mix which is also disgusting. Everything cooked is kept in yellow plastic warming drawers. Eggs are just liquid eggs poured into moulds and cooked poorly. Basically, your order comes in, the chef grabs a bunch of shit from the warming drawers, throws it together and away you go.
I quit before my 3 months after my manager called me a faggot when I stuck up for a (blatantly gay) customer I had just taken an order for. The guy was wearing a faint pink muscle shirt, was incredibly jacked and had two stud earrings (one in each ear). The manager had made a comment along the lines of "he must've been singing it's raining men in his head" to which I looked over and replied "So what if he's gay? He's still a human being". Manager replied with "What are you? A faggot?". So I quit and called McDick's head office.
He ended up being demoted from manager to french fry bitch at a Walmart McDonalds where I spotted him 5 years later. Walked in, saw him working the fries, he saw me, I just turned around and walked out of that McDonalds.

Doesn't make it any less delicious
The pancakes are just nuked in the box in a big microwave they don't grill them its just they're really steamy and good all the same especially with that "butter" they give you and the syrup, but the plastic forks always break
This reminds me of the one time I stopped at a McDonalds at like 4am and COULD get breakfast and it was delicious
aww yeee
now i dont have to go to Sonic anymore for my mid day breakfast

I'm not disagreeing with them being delicious (they fucking are delicious).
And yeah, I'd frequently hit up a McDonalds at 5am when I was staying at a residency for college. I'd pull all nighters, hit up the McD's, have a coffee, an egg mcmuffin and 2 or 3 hashbrowns then head back to the res, smoke a bowl and then head off to college.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47566556]I would buy sausage mcmuffins every fucking day if I didn't have to go in at a certain time to get one.
Seriously, just make everything available 24/7. I love McDonalds, but gimme some variety.[/QUOTE]
Step it up man, McGriddles or bust.

Have you ever had a real pancake? I eat their big breakfast with pancakes, but I realize those are terrible pancakes.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;47566798]Have you ever had a real pancake? I eat their big breakfast with pancakes, but I realize those are terrible pancakes.[/QUOTE]
i've had really good home-made pancakes,buckwheat pancakes, made batter myself from scratch, and cooked them on everything from a cast-iron skillet on a fire, propane stoves in the winter, to a kitchen grill, but their pre-made pancakes are still something good
The hotcakes are good as are the hashbrowns the rest suck, would rather just the lunch menu all day tbh.
steak and egg mcmuffins are one of the best fast food items to ever exist you guys don't even know
[QUOTE=Rapscallion92;47563845]Yeah it's real sensible to believe urban legends and hate chicken nuggets despite them not being the thing you hate.
Although seriously good shout, their chicken nuggets are fucking wank anyway.[/QUOTE]
It depends on how drunk you are if they taste good or not, usually when you are just shy of being shithoused they are amazing.

one time when i was really drunk on new years my friend, who had never made eggs before, made an omelette with hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, and onions in it and i don't like either of those three things but i'll be dammed if those aren't the best eggs i've ever had
Alcohol makes everything taste better. That's a scientific fact.
Alcohol making women hotter on the other hand....that's a load of crap. I can be completely shitfaced and spot an uggo from a mile away.

Depends on how horny you are.
A mate of mine would bang anything that LOOKS like a woman while drunk, while having impossibly high standards when sober.

Most of that now is more or less the same, but it's not as bad as you're making it out to be.
Any warming drawer that hasn't had all its stock used up is supposed to be tossed out and remade at constant intervals. (I forget what exactly the interval was; I haven't worked there for two or three years. I think it was 15 minutes?)
What's the problem with the food being frozen? Why do people always bring this up as a negative? Frozen foods [I]are[/I] fresh. Fast food wouldn't be as fast as it is if they didn't utilize freezers and hot holding units, and there's nothing wrong with that process as long as proper protocols are followed.
I also don't get why muffin batter being stored in 2-gallon containers is bad. Is there something inherently wrong with the size or...?
There are two different types of eggs. There are the liquid eggs and the freshly cracked eggs. The cracked eggs are perfectly round because they're cracked into circular molds. Different breakfast sandwiches take different types, but you can always just request the round eggs. I don't know why you say the liquid eggs are made poorly, as if that's a universal fact. I'm starting to suspect that you worked at a shitty store where nobody gave a fuck.
I don't know about you, but working at McD's actually gave me a lot of reassurance about their food. Everyone keeps parroting obviously false bullshit about their methods and ingredients to the point where it just becomes the accepted truth. I just don't get it.

What about the fact that their burgers don't decompose? The guy with the 20-year old Big Mac still in perfect condition?
It's also not good for you. Their salads aren't even healthy. I saw the nutrition information for their salads and while I don't recall exact values, I remember seeing sugar being listed as being part of the salad (in a large amount) as well as fat content nearly on par with their french fries.
To correct some things:
- Frozen isn't fresh. Quoting Gordon Ramsay here. Frozen fish is not fresh fish for example.
- All we used back then was liquid eggs from a carton.
- The muffin batter in pails just seemed odd to me. I don't know how long some of those pails had been sitting out behind the counter but I never ate a McDonalds muffin again.
Finally to end on a good note, I like your TF2 backpack icons :v:
[QUOTE=UserNotFound;47567466]What about the fact that their burgers don't decompose? The guy with the 20-year old Big Mac still in perfect condition?[/QUOTE]
That's a good thing, he took it straight from the restaurant and put it into a sealed bell jar, meaning there wasn't any potentially nasty bacteria in the meat at all, stuff only really decomposes when its exposed to bacteria or fungus that eats it like at the bottom of your trash can, the burger in Iceland was put in a sterile environment and sealed there.
Ramsey is a bit off though on frozen food, its all about length, freezing meat for a few days isn't really doing it any harm, freezing it for months (or years like people on his show do) is where it gets bad. A patty in any fast food chain probably is used up in only a couple weeks from being processed. Its not good but its not shit either, that's the same time meat will sit in a store freezer and in your fridge
Now as for the fries not discoloring though, that's the nasty part
Oh and we had a waterfall salter for the fries. You'd turn it upside down and salt would "waterfall" out over the fries for like 2 or 3 seconds, then stop, which was considered "the perfect amount of salt".
Here I am, 16 years old, dicking around with a salter. Turn it upside-down, salt comes out then stops, flip it rightside up....then turn it upside-down again.....I musta salted a batch of fries about 20 times because they had a thin coating of salt.
Go figure a couple of heavy-set people in their 60's come through the drive through and each order super-sized fries.
:suicide:
Then there was the time I walked into the employee bathroom to hear a fellow male employee "pulling his goalie" (Canadian slang for jacking off) in the stall. I don't think he heard me come in but I think he came all over himself when I booted the fucking door in.

on one hand I don't think mcnuggets taste good under any circumstances but on the other I just ate oatmeal cream pies covered in pepper sauce (google it)

mcdonalds foods dry out before they have a chance to rot. bacteria doesn't care for "fresh" food
I'm pretty sure the "McD's food doesn't compose" thing was ahoax.
I'm pretty sure Maccas in Aus already do all day breakky. I remember having pancakes at 1pm one day.
I'd kill for 10 hashbrowns at 11pm tbh

lol of all the surprises chicken mcnuggets have in them its because someone told you they have squid in them that you question their contents? :v:
guess again
Does USA have McCafe? I know it started in AUS but not sure if it's global.
