I think I've settled on a Spicy Veggie Wrap, and those gunk cheese balls Binners was going on about.
I don't eat burgersYes, taste will do it. And the smell, I think the last thing I ate was a McMuffin of some sort. I'm guessing bacon and egg.
Ok, so it's just a personal thing. I feel much the same about liver.
So lips and ears are which part?
Do lips and ears still qualify as "beef"?
Genuine question.
Would you describe lips as beefy? 😉
Yunki, that's brilliant.
Oh, and the good food thing wasn't a reference to healthy food.
Yummy McDonald's cheesburgers mmmmmDelicious, delicious food. Feel sorry for those who don't like it.
Tasty and cheap along with super-quick service.

McDonald's 'food' is grim.
Well it was 15years ago when i last ate some, maybe it's improved since then?
Please do not feel sorry for me though, I'm happy to never eat any of their products, I can't say I feel I'm denying myself some kind of epicurean pleasure.
piemonster - Jake and Dinos Chapman.. good stuff
FWIW I am chowing a McD's as I type.. 😀
Oh and Molly. Please stop being so uptight.
That's a big ask...
Say what you will but you cant beat a big mac or double cheeseburger when you're in the mood for it (usually drunk or hung over). May not be "good" food but it hits the spot sometimes.
Burger king double whopper ftw though 🙂 shame theres no BK near us any more, I haven't had one for years.
To answer the op, I normally tidy myself but if the service has been crap then I'll leave it.
It's just that admitting you eat junk food occasionally seems to be in the same moral bracket as shitting in your grannies handbag for some people.
but weirdly, if you piss in your mother in law's slippers you get paraded around the streets like a conquering hero..
even if she happens to be a granny too
A paradox if ever there was

Don't think they do anything made from spam.
Mmmmm... <drool> The McSpam. There's a wonderful idea...
Edit, that link didn't seem to work.
I like.
Jake and Dinos Chapman? Brilliant! Passing scathing comment on consumer society while flogging the result for millions to Charles Saatchi yeah... **** Macdonalds and their capitalist greed!
To my eyes it's more a comment on the repugnance of people who live in glass houses poring scorn on others..
is it about greed and consumerism at all..?
Or is that just you projecting your issues..?
How many chat rooms and forums are full of self important folk scoffing at each other's perceived failings..?
The 'poor me anti capitalist thing' is soooo last century don'tcha know.. there are other valid forms of moral outrage available from the gift shop
So lips and ears are which part?
Forequarter?
To answer the original question: I work in a food place and people make a real mess sometimes, but I'm not too bothered, people generally are messy... but, when people leave things on tables about a metre from the bin, I think you a lazy ****.
Not read it all but I can cope with people leaving mess in the place (there are people to clear up). I would gladfully peel the skin off the screaming bodies of the low-life that throw their wrappers out of their cars.

Oi, that's my hobby.
Git.
I've nothing left now but to sit in a corner with the lights off
Never clear up when eating out, what's the point in that?
If you can make few million out of your outraged morality and your oh so valid social commentary then I'm sure it helps clarify things.
I absolutely love threads like this. Where the type of insufferable snob person who has probably used the word artisan, when referring to a loaf of bread, gets to assert their breathtaking level of gullibility utterly superior good taste through their choice of supermarket/sandwich emporium, under the patently ridiculous idea that anybody cares, let alone be dazzled and impressed, as the poster clearly imagines the obvious result to be.
Pretty sure I've heard snobbishness similar to that which you are criticising when you post about music. OK to look down on people for liking certain bands but not ok to slag off McDonalds? 😉
I used to work in McDonalds a long time ago - never really bothered me if people didn't put their stuff in the bin TBH as long as they didn't make a horrific mess.
A loathing for Mumford and Sons isn't snobbery! Its a clean bill of mental health, surely? 😀
Anyway... back to the original point. Grum - When you worked in Maccy D's, did every single piece of discarded Big Mac packaging contain the gherkins previously used to besmirch the burger? Or somewhere is there some lunatic who doesn't remove them first?
I leave the gherkins in my McDonalds burgers 😮
This thread is fascinating.
The impression I generally get from the STW forums is that everyone is a sandal-wearing Tory-bashing leftie, clutching a copy of the Guardian between wringing hands.
Judging by the replies on this thread, you're all as bad as those you profess to hate. Class warfare is alive and well, except you're fighting for the wrong side. I note that it's perfectly OK, based on another thread, to buy a second house to get your kids into a "good" school, but private schools are the epitome of evil.
Does anyone give a toss who eats in McDonalds? I find it fascinating that you feel that someone is beneath you based on what they're wearing or eating. I put to you that this is not really any different from straightforward racism or ageism.
Funnily enough, when the supermarket horse meat scandal was in the news a few months ago, nothing was said about McDonalds? D'you know why? Because they could trace every bit of their meat.
I shall buy my lunch in McDonalds today simply because I know it will annoy you.
did every single piece of discarded Big Mac packaging contain the gherkins previously used to besmirch the burger?
haha yes they did, but I learnt to eat mine from an early age.
best bit about working in McDonalds was mastering the ten-ten turn-lay while driving the bun machine too.
when i was on duty in the eating area, i used to hope people would leave a mess behind, to give me something to do. the bigger the mess the better, as long as no bodily fluids. i generally hated all the customers anyway, so whether or not they bothered to clear up after themselves was of no concern to me.
Maccy D's is great. Free parking, wifi, well priced tasty coffee and clean toilets. The food is what it is but at least you what you are getting.
(I didn't hate them because they were Mcdonald's customers, I just hate the general public.)
Oi, Flaperon, careful with that tarry brush, you and I post here too...
Anyway, everybody needs to feel superior to somebody, it's a deep seated psychological need, so don't be to hard on the STWerati.
Pickle debate; love them, I either keep them on, or remove them to eat them first. BUT only recently, I actually used to dislike them intensely. I have no idea how the conversion occurred...
My mate Neil once ate 12 Big Mac's, one after the other, in a mid-bender refueling stop. He took the gherkins off though, and put his packaging in the bin. Then, completely inexplicably, he had one of these....

Why would you do that?
He had to take the pickles off; 24 constitutes a significant overdose and could kill you, FACT.
As the the FoF, no idea. He must be mad.
Oh, and anyone who slags off Maccy D's has obviously never had a bad enough hangover to warrant the nuclear option...

To a hangover, this is Hiroshima!!!!
Gherkins FTW. Used to hate them but love them now for some reason - as someone else said up there I have no idea why.
It's my birthday today, this thread has given me an idea for my birthday treat.
12 Big Macs and a filet of fish (pronounced "fee-lay" of course).
I think my wife will be proud.
It's McDonald's Restaurants Ltd, not McDonald's Self Service Cafeteria Ltd. Why would I need to clear my own table?
I love the Gherkins and a FoF is my favourite 😆
Havent had one for months, hungry now 😕
The [i]only[/i] "food" I eat from McD's is the gerkins - they're delicious!
I don't like the rest of it (not because its nutritional value etc. I just don't like the taste, same with liver, salmon, mushy peas, etc.) But my daughters like to go there occasionally so when I take them I have a cup of Mc-tea and the gerkins they remove from their burgers. Lovely.
(and we tidy up after)
Almost every time I drive up to Scotland, I'm inexplicably drawn into the MacD in Berwick.
This is invariably followed by a feeling of self-loathing, which I would like to say is due to my weakness in succumbing temporarily to the incessant marketing bombardment from a company with dubious ethics but in reality is purely down to being a greedy fat bastard who regrets eating the huge fat/salt and sugar content in the quick fix of something resembling food.
I absolve my ethical conscience on the way back by stopping in Jedburgh and supporting a local business in the shape of a black pudding or haggis supper.
Look I'm usually a terrible snob but there's not much better than 5 double cheeseburgers at 2am after a night on the cider 🙂 Oh and tidy away after yourselves you animals!
I gorged myself on McD's yesterday as I had a monster hangover and it tasted nice because it is bad for me. Funny that?
O it was takeawy and the rubbih is still on my living room floor and that felt good also.
When you're a kid, every McDonalds feels like a victory. When you're an adult every McDonalds feels like a defeat.
Speak for yourself.
I've just spotted these on my first ever visit to the Macdonalds website. I'd definitely calling in at Maccy D's on the way home tonight. They look like perfect pre-nightride fuel. How can these be bad for you? How? Eh? Its deep fried cheese FFS! Cheese! Thats been deep fried! Thats a match made in heaven! And only 1000 calories if I have 4 portions. That's good. isn't it?

This. If it wants to market itself as a [b]restaurant[/b] the staff should clear the tables, like a normal restaurant.
But that raises the issue of tipping
