Fuck you McDonald's

Once in a while, I just want something greasy, overly-caloric, and carcinogen-laden. Sure, those chicken lumps contain bleach, ammonia, and were once pepto bismol pink; the patties not actually classifiable as cow; and the vegetables so incredibly lifeless. But, I can overlook the fact that your food is found under Webster's entry for "crap", and on pubmed's blacklist for "ingestables that can kill you". What I cannot ignore, is that your 'service' fucking sucks.

Your workers are rude, incompetent, and oblivious. I usually order 4 items, and only 50% of the time get the correct number. Whether or not the items are what I actually requested is another issue. The reason for such an inability to follow a simple list escapes logic. Similarly, the utter lack of urgency and consideration of your workers is despicable. Today I was particularly chuffed by the fact that my server allowed my food to be scooped up by equally incompetent coworkers, while I waited more than 10 minutes. While I can understand she did not want to dive into the clusterfuck that is the receiving end of the toxic-subsistence item assembly line, she made absolutely no attempt to fill my order. It was only after 10 minutes that she decided she would do her job.

When I had voiced my frustration, noting how I had been waiting while 11 (yes, I counted) customers had gotten their "food", and requested a complaint form, she nonchalantly said "you can speak to my manager". To which I should have replied "and you wonder why you're working here?". To McDonald's, I would like to say "fuck you".
