Road trip... overtime, job not done, handing off to some other sucker.

Seriously, this should have been a simple task, and it went south pretty quickly: whomever installed the part screwed the install up, and now we have parts coming in from several locations...

Right out side a McDonalds!!! Making me jealous.
The McDonalds I work at sucks. They haven't renovated, they haven't done anything to the place to make it appealing. That's why I want to transfer to a beautiful Coffee like House McDonalds that's just plesent to be in.

Our local McDonald's is actually very nice, but then it is the only one for 300 miles. LOL

..We do dine there sometimes, just to make a change.

Any interesting specific menu items at the location?

I remember in the Philippines, you could get fried chicken, spaghetti, or rice at McDonalds.

May as well put some decorations and things up....make the place look somewhat festive.


Space maybe made in a Hollywood basement, but Christmas is most definitely....

McDonald's here does a lot of fried chicken, no rice or noodle dishes though. However KFC does quite a few rice dishes and Cantonese style curries. Can see what we get here...

Their main staple is burgers and fries, which is what most people in China go to a McDonald's for, I think. There's McCafe as well in Beijing, they're very much the same as any others the world over.

I'm pretty sure that the beef and chicken there actually taste like beef and chicken... Am I right?.

The world has lost a great voice. Joe Cocker is no more.

Started watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia over the weekend.

How have I never seen this show before? It's so amazing. I'm almost through Season 3 already.

 

[sfbloodbrother]

Never seen it. I'll add it to my watch list.

 

[Gmash]

If anybody thinks their family is dysfunctional, that show should make them feel better lol.

 

[mikedt]

Maybe I should find something more productive to do?

Yeh the beef and chicken are OK. Seems there's different perception about McDonald's here, than in the UK and US. Not only is it an American brand(foreign), it's actually quite expensive for many people. Certainly compared to eating noodles or dumplings or something in the local, family run restaurants, so eating a BigMac and fries is kind of like a special treat. They paid to have a nice big Christmas tree put up outside their restaurant, not many others have done that. Inside it's very well decorated for Christmas, western style, nothing obviously Chinese, like red paper-cuts or new year couplets.

Along with KFC, Starbucks and Pizza Hut, it's something that's only relatively recent in China and is obviously western, like chocolate and coffee, and so it is something special. There's plenty of home-grown lookalikes though, e.g. http://www.dicos.com.cn/ which does very much the same stuff as KFC.
