Well, I stayed late at school tonight finishing up homework -- 1:15 am to be exact. On my way home, I decided to stop at my local 24-hour McDonald's drive-thru (See Figure 1) for a Big & Tasty Burger (?) and a 9-Piece Chicken McNuggets.

Figure 2 - Speaker and Order Screen
(Does this screen ever change?)

At the speaker (Figure 2), I stop to wonder if this screen will ever display anything else but what you see here. And why do they have to leave all of those burger-bun-tray-shelf-stack-things out all night? They really look tacky (Figure 3) and should be wheeled out to the middle of Foothill Blvd.

On my way through the drive through, I noticed three meat patties on the ground (what's new?) outside of the big white metal delivery door. How pleasant. Whadda ya' bet that one of these patties is the left over from when Dee Sandee topped a burger with the bun from off of the floor? (See McDonalds Complaint Letter [access from main page]). Notice the standard-issue McDonald's outdoor floor brick.  I had to get out of my truck to take these pictures (Figures 4 - 9).

Figure 4 - All Three Patties

Using Figure 4 as a guide, we will label each patty. The top-most patty in Figure 4 will be Patty A. Patty B is the middle patty. Patty C is the bottom-most patty. Forget the letters, the fact is that McDonald's doesn't know how to take care of their meat.

It has been proven by McDonald's employees that leaving meat patties outside overnight on the ground by the drive thru adds extra flavor. These patties are being prepared to be served during tomorrow's breakfast hours.

At the window, the lady who took my order was so tired that she had to ask me how much money I had just given her so she could make change. Is a fat ass a requirement to work at McDonald's? I received my order and parked in the parking lot to eat. See Figure 10. As I bit into my first Chicken McNugget, I realized that the cook (?) must think that these chicken pieces can be re-heated as many times as necessary in the deep fryer, even though they had eventually gained the consistency of wood. Complaint time! I went back to the drive through speaker (Figure 2) and asked for some new "chicken." As well, I also had to look at the meat patties on the ground by the delivery door again. See Figures 4 - 9 again.
