Walk into your nearest McDonalds - the are distinguishable by the big yellow ‘M’ outside.
Approach the counter and ask the till operator for: "a Big Mac Meal with a Chocolate Shake’
Note that sauces are optional - ask now if you want some!
Take your cup and brown paper bag to the counter that has a straw distributor and napkin dispenser on it - collect what you need.
Retire to any old area that suits you, eat, drink and enjoy On no account should you approach the till operator and ask for a Big Mac Meal with Celeriac & Fennel Mash - this may confuse them to the point that their head actually explodes, or worse, they may look at you and say : ‘Uh?’. Should you mistakenly include the words “celeriac and fennel mash” in your order, retreat slowly and look for signs of red-faced confusion - if this occurs, explosion of the head will follow quickly, so evacuate the area in a calm manner.
In the days I would risk my life by eating at Big M, I discovered that asking for “small fries with no salt” caused confusion. (But it’s in the Big M charter so they have to dseliver.)
They’d have to consult and then do me a portion separate from the pre poisoned rest so I’d get a huge portion of fries for very little.
Best result ever was they got so confused by the fries that’s all I paid for. The two burgers and chocolate shake came free.
But that was in Woolwich wher even standing up is a minor triumph.
A MC Donalds car park is never quite complete with out a Vaxhall Corsa in it, slamed to the floor running on 45" rims and a extra large family sized bean can pipe on the back.
MacD choccy shakes are a pale imitation of their former glory. Used to be really, um, chocolatey but these days they taste of nowt. Used to love em but have swerved them since they went rubbish.
In Pret a Manger, there are signs up saying “if you received particularly good service then let us know - we hold an annual ceremony and present our talented staff members with sterling silver stars designed for us by Tiffany”:w00t:And if I’m not mistaken … Pret is owned by McD’s … so those little silver stars may well be worth a spenny penny ;)EDIT : found the link - http://www.pret.com/about/customers.htm
