Haven't been to McDonalds recently, but when we do go to a fast food drive thru I notice many times there's no napkins in the bag.

Many years ago one of the McD I had gone to which had just been built, I noticed that the ketchup dispenser was mounted in a refrgerated service counter and the ketchup was always cold and refreshing. Has anyone seen this and would u like to see all fast food places have this type of set up.

My son ordered their new wrap and there was very little meat....or anything much in it.....How are the wraps at your local outlets?
Believe or not, the Big Mac has always had just one slice of cheese, but the meat patties seem to have become smaller over the years. A Big Mac is hardly worth the current price of $3.00. You might as well buy one of the 1/3 lb. Angus Burgers for $3.99!

PS- I sometimes order the Mcdouble with Big Mac sauce instead of mustard/ketchup, and with a sesame seed bun instead of the regular bun. So for a buck, I'm almost getting a Big Mac. In fact, some people call this a "Ghetto Mac."

I've never thought of ketchup as being cold and refreshing, but you have a point!

There is a rumor going around where I live that McDonalds and a number of other fast food places are seriously considering cutting back in the offering of soft drinks in favor of those energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster. I can actually see this happening. While I am sure in the future one can still get a Coke, Diet Coke or even Sprite at McDonalds that might be the only choices since so so many people are giving up on Coke, Pepsi even Mountain Dew in favor of Red Bull and Rockstar.

I guess it makes sense as far as sells are concerned but for health reasons? My girlfriend has always said that for people to give up on Coke in favor of Red Bull because they believe its better for your health is like those who give up smoking cigarettes in favor of smoking those little flavored cigars thinking that they are better for your health.

Yeah, that is stupid. Those energy drinks are NO healthier than soda. And Red Bull with a burger? Doesn't go together like a Coke and a burger, at least to me.

I rarely eat McD's, but I've noticed that Burger King patties seemed to have shrunk.

I have noticed that the patrons of McDonald‘s are fatter and uglier than they used to be, and their children all seem to be retarded or autistic.

The workers are no longer fresh faced teeny-boppers with pigtails, but are older, speak with foreign accents, and act like food servers at the homeless mission.

I stopped eating McDonalds a few years ago, the food is basically crap

If you need more than one refill on a drink you are drinking too much. I never ask for a refill of a drink at a fast food place. Some places where you serve yourself I have gotten a refill. I almost never eat in any place that has a drive thru, I take it home and get all the ketchup I want.
I think Dairy Queen stopped putting or offering chopped onions on their burgers or hot dogs which sucked but I eat there so infrequently it was no big deal.
Chick Fil A: I ate lunch there and the hostess/manager lady saw I was being a little messy with the ketchup I had put on my waffle fries. She offered and got me a wet nap. That is one well run company and they make an effort to have good people work there.
