Ok, this is after all McDonalds - fried, cheap, fast food and questionable ingredients. I swear if it was not for the smurfs; I would not set foot in this place. However, I did and well...It was yucky. Dirty, tables, cashier had an attitude when I inquired about a happy meal toy. I kept thinking to myself: "Yes, I am in my 30's and about to order a happy meal - get over it, its thanks to fools like me, YOU have this minimum wage job." Cashier gave little eye contact after rolling them upon me asking if PAPA SMURF was in yet. Oh come on, papa smurf!!! Anyway, I got my greasy chicken nuggets and greasy fries and a grumpy smurf to go with the employee's demeanor but no papa smurf. The tables were dirty, the floor had scuff marks all over it. It seems homeless people raise shopping carts inside this McDonalds, where the hell are the scuff marks coming from? eew. Tiny parking lot and those who let children in that filthy play area should be questioned by CPS. *The End*

On the way to the March Against Hate yesterday, my friend Brian and I realized we were starving balls. There was no particular reason we stopped at this McDonald's other than that it was on the way. And I was craving--simply craving--some McNuggets.

It took 20 minutes to finally get to the window. We spent that time bitching at everyone ahead of us to place their order already and move along. "It's not a complicated menu!" "You should already know what you want!" "Oh my God, what is wrong with you people?!"

And I love that once it was our turn, my friend said "Uhhh...Give me a sec." Hypocrite!

I leaned over and said in my best Mira Sorvino: "Do you have a businesswomen's special?
Employee: A what?
Me: You know, like a lunch....for businesswomen?
And right on cue Brian says:
"We're due in Tucson. You know, for a business thing."
Employee: Huh?
Me: Can we just get a No. 1 with a Diet Coke and a 10-piece nugget to go then?

OK, so we had our giggles and we were probably way more amused with that than we should have been.

The employee at the window didn't look a day over 13, and he promptly handed me a Happy Meal Diet Coke. I know I've been using a new anti-aging cream but does it look like I'm old enough to want a Happy Meal? He also couldn't seem to master the skill of putting Diet Coke in a cup. I think the machine was malfunctioning. His manager came over to help and she smiled politely.

We finally got our food and I devoured it in the car. I suppose Big Macs and McNuggets can sometimes only truly be appreciated during a massive hangover. I'm lovin' it.

For a Valentines Day treat to me - I stopped by for a cheeseburger Happy Meal - that made for a happy me - I love McDonald's - not on the diet, but the the heck - it was just what I needed and made me think I should start treating my little girl to a happy meal maybe once a month

Any hope I have of experiencing childhood nostalgia at McDonald's is now completely gone thanks to the evil that are Apple Dippers. I had a coupon for a free Happy Meal, and was super excited to get my four piece Chicken McNugget meal. The coupon for the free Happy Meal advertised that all Happy Meals now come with Apple Dippers and French Fries. Fair enough, until I opened my Happy Meal bag, and discovered a sample size of fries that was smaller than the palm of my hand. What? Did McDonald's really just reduce the size of the Kids Meals fries by half? I feel sorry for all the kids these days. Here is a news flash McDonald's: If you are so concerned about children's health, you should offer grilled options like your friend Chick-Fil-A. If you are going to offer fried potatoes, I want my SMALL serving of fries, not a MINI serving. Thanks. Now I have something new to add to the "When I was your age" list that I can share with all little kidders I encounter. When I was your age, McDonald's gave me more than 5 fries.

You bet your tush I'm reviewing a McD's! Laugh it up, I'd give myself a "funny" for this one if I could. Which fast food chain has the best fries? Uh...McD's (hm...excluding Arby's curly fries, those are fun and yum.) Which fast food chain has better frozen sweet treats? McD's (yeah, put that Frosty down and grab a McFlurry!) What is more classic than a happy meal from McD's? Nothing. Of all the kids meals I've had in my adult life, none make my heart smile like a kid's meal from McDonalds. So it was a long day, I needed a burger. Specifically, a McDonald's burger. I got my one patty burger...and split a McRib...and fries...and their limited time only, Pumpkin Pie. Once I bit into my burger and felt the stress exit my body, and the fat come in. Long day, over. As for the McRib I was told I must try, I've come to the conclusion that I think I could live without. Too many onions, too little sauce. It was just weird. The pumpkin pie I bought on impulse? I could also live without. It tasted like canned pumpkin shoved into their pie crust. Of course you can get much better burgers, fries, pie, etc. elsewhere but, when it comes to fast food, you know every now and again you just can't resist getting some delicious crap from here.

I was babysitting and left with the Mom-van and $20 to take the kids to McD for dinner. This McDonalds has a slide/play place which was being used only by the 2 girls I was with - they had a blast before and after mealtime! That's why I gave 2 stars instead of just one... TERRIBLE customer service! Before you judge me, please know that my very first job at the age of 15 was at McDonalds and I'm always more than kind to McD employees. I ordered myself a grilled chicken sandwich and ended up with a McChicken. No no no - not the $1 menu mystery chicken patty! I was trying to be moderately healthy. I told the guy who was getting my order together that it was incorrect. The guy who had taken my order mumbled something about "that's not what she said" and that was it, they both went on their McWay and ignored me. I saw someone who looked like the McManager and caught his attention, letting him know what was up, as politely as I could. I wanted GRILLED chicken and would be happy to pay for the difference. He didnt' apologize to me at all, just went to the order taker and told him to fix it. Then, Mr. McMumbles said "there are so many grilled chicken sandwiches! #5, #6, #7..." I had to speak up and tell him - ORIGINAL. GRILLED. CHICKEN. I paid the difference like I said I would, although I didn't think I should have to since it was his McMistake, but I didn't want them to do something yucky to my food. The only thing the manager said to him after the whole ordeal was PAY ATTENTION. Nobody said sorry or offered me a delicious McFlurry to compensate for my troubles. Oh well... I got my grilled chicken sandwich, the lettuce was wilted and the tomato was gross. I only ate half. The kids were thrilled to play there, loved the milk, and ate half of their happy meals - which was good for those picky eaters! McDonalds remains a need-to-eat place for me!
