McDonalds

I broke up with McDonalds On Valentine's day People said she was no good for me I had to get away

So I told her, It's not you, It's just a phase I'm going through But as we all know - Dumping fast food is not a pleasant thing to do.

So I broke up with McDonalds, didn't see her for a while Was doing pretty well - there was the occasional drunk-dial When I walked up to the window And I slipped into the queue - But then I came back to my senses And realised the thing to do...

Was to keep on walking Keep on walking Right past her Ignore the temptation To suckle On those golden arches Ignore those bed-like burgers And those oh-so-easy fries Divide our shared world up And sever all ties!

Yes! I broke up with McDonalds and my life is better for it When my girlfriend serves up rabbit food I simply adore it I was scared of life alone with no kebab to walk me home But... What I once spent on burgers... I now spend on... ­                      Haribo!

Oh Haribo! Haribo! You are a fruit tree in a sack And although it feels wrong to see you Behind my girlfriend's back She can not be hurt by wrongs she does not know! No - the new love of my life is Haribo, oh Haribo!

But then one evening after work My girfriend came home early. Caught me curled up on the couch Soaking up her girly DVDs In front of me A bowl of Not nuts, nor seeds... But fizzy, yes fizzy, Cola bottles That were FIZZY!

How could you do this? My girlfriend screamed at me. Cannot you see the damage that they do-eth to your teeth? (She'd been reading Shakespeare) No, my eyes are on my face, I can't see in my mouth. Right, she said, If you think I'm joking then I'm going to kick you out.

So she kicked me out the flat and that was that she said. Not quite... I grabbed my stash of Haribo from underneath the bed. I told her all the things about her that I really hated

And the moral is:

Relationships with things that you can't eat...

WORST MACCAS I'VE EVER BEEN TO...MANAGEMENT HERE IS TERRIBLE...DON'T BLAME THE STAFF..... #1...9.30 on a Tuesday night. Waited exactly 34mins in the drive through before I could even place my order. It was very obvious there were not enough staff on duty. #2..of the few staff that were there, one in particular was actually running between taking orders at the window and then off to do another job out of sight. I bet she's not paid her worth. #3..when I finally got to the collection window the young man there was very obviously stressed !!! . I won't say he was rude but he definitely needs Customer Service training !! . No smile, no greeting, no eye contact, and food came close to being thrown at me. He also needs to be reminded that using 4 letter words are not appropriate, although to be fair he was swearing at the fries cooker not me. #4...NO !! I'm not a difficult customer but worked all my life in customer service and one of my kids worked at Maccas for years so I was expecting better..much...

I tried to use the McDonalds app for the first time when placing an order through the drive through. To make sure I was using it correctly I asked the staff member for clarification on how to redeem a deal. Instead of answering, he laughed at me, did not bother to answer my question shutting the window and then proceeded to chat with his colleague. After his unexpected and rude response, I just wanted to get out of there, so I didn't use the app as I was so embarrassed. What is so hilarious about wanting to use the McDonalds app? The staff member chose to be rude for no reason when all I did was ask a question. I thought using a deal may be a way to save a little money but what is the point if staff refuse to even use it. He has poor customer service and needs to learn how to treat other people (staff member was a māori guy in his late 20's if management would...
