Report of the week, I have a specialty burger I got at McDonald's I wish you to review. It's a regular hamburger only the buns are the Big Mac top bun and the Big Mac bottom bun. It must be wrapped like the hamburger flattening the Big Mac bun a little aswell as adding the grease. It is amazing, I got this when my McDonald's ran out of hamburger buns so they used Big Mac buns. I have video of the hamburger in my shorts videos section.

And now, they refuse to lose profit. The same reason California going to $20 minimum wage has caused prices to increase significantly. The solution? Stop paying high prices for low quality food. Or at least pay less than what you typically do. Hurt the CEOs that get $100+ million dollar Christmas bonuses while 100+ of the workers in their restaurants struggle paycheck to paycheck. Fast food places went from only making their employees suffer with low wages to making customers suffer high prices. If enough of us change, the situation will change.

I think Fast food chains have taken for granted that Customers want "new gourmet items." That they're menus have become too large and standardization has become too difficult. I remember when the 'Southern Style Chicken Sandwich' came out with McDonald's years ago, it was because Popeye's released their chicken sandwich, and it was such a hit everyone thought "let's make the same product in our menu." It flooded the industry to extremely varying results. I think fast food, especially McDonald's, is long overdue to return to how it began, with very standard "assembly-line like" procedures. I think that's the best way to return to consistency.

I figured it would take me less time to put pasta in a pot, boil it, and then add sauce/cheese/condiments as I please. Not only did I save $13 (a pack of tricolor pasta is $2) but I also ended up with more food, because it serves 2-3 people comfortably. And I didn't even have to leave home. Even going to my local cafe or family run restaurant is a better alternative, I'm paying the same amount anyways! Fast food industry is done.

Beef stews are super easy to make too and can freeze the rest. Rice on the side as a extra goes good too so the main stew lasts even longer. Or some fresh bread rolls or baguette along with it. One pot usually lasts me for 4-5 meals. Or just buy potatoes and onions, cut the potatoes, soak them in water, long fry them on not the higest heat. Take out let them cool and then high fry them for short time for extra crisp. Or just do it in one go so its simpler. Take grounded up beef and pork, roll them into cevapcici or into round Frikadelles, then fry them in pan. Throw the sliced onions on top of the fries, a lil bit freerange mayonnaise or whatever you like on it and some other sauce for the meat and you got a great cheap super filling dish and got cevapcici or frikadellen left to eat another day.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is milder tasting and generally a bit sweeter than cabbage. Most commonly eaten raw in salads and as a sandwich topping or a cool accompaniment to meat/rice dishes.

One of my big qualms with rural areas is that a lot of them only have fast food in terms of restaurants.

A very close friend of mine was in the restaurant business for about 40 years. Not fast food, but steakhouses, Italian restaurants and the like. He was often hired to analyse underperforming restaurants and help them improve. Many, many times he would talk to them about the importance of consistency. Eating can be a very personal sort of experience. People will be set for a particular meal. Their mouths are ready for it. If they like the chicken parmesan, they want the product that made them enjoy it the first time they had it. They have (generally) cleaned up, driven across town and are prepared to pay good money for that particular experience. You have to provide it. The public can be very fickle. You can serve up a great meal time after time, but if they have a single lousy experience they are ready to take their money elsewhere. Happens all the time. Having a good recipe is only the first step. You now need venders that provide consistent ingredients and your staff must be trained to produce the product consistently, every time, even when it's busy or you are short-handed.

I'm telling you - we need a food advertising law stating that ONLY real food purchased for the purpose of eating from the establishment being advertised can be used for advertising photos. We create some third party entity that ALL food vendors must utilize for their advertising photos - that entity then goes and procures at random a sample of the item they want to advertise and they photograph it. Of course it would all be high end photography and the company is allowed to "fluff" the item as needed but can ONLY work with what was handed to them. No glue, no epoxy - can't add anything to it. They then turn their photos over to the company to use in their advertisements and if it looks abysmal, they can contract the company to go try again. After a few rounds of spending 100k for an awful photo of their garbage product, I guarantee that most restaurants will start enforcing quality standards.

Fast food service shifted from a focus on quality control to getting the order out as fast as possible a long time ago. The priority is all about speed. Additionally, it's so hard to get workers and keep them now that managers are reluctant to push them to improve when they don't perform up to standards because they'll just quit if you ask anything beyond minimal effort from them. When I worked at Burger King as a teen a long time ago, our managers would tell us to stop and look at what we were about to serve. Ask yourself "Would you be satisfied if you were served this food if you ordered it with your own money?" Basically, put yourself in the customer's shoes. That was good policy.

Thank you for the stamps

There were similar problems decades ago when I was flipping McDonald's burgers. They had to use sub-par produce and manually cut out the bad pieces. They literally had to throw out anything left under the heat lamps too long and the manager had to log the waste so no one could take home free food. If no McLean patties were available you were encouraged to use an overcooked regular patty. If there wasn't any time to get anything done, workers would throw garbage into the waste disposal area from over the fence. The washer failed and there weren't any clean towels in the morning and someone removed all the tools, but you still had to open for breakfast. Someone clogged the toilet in the middle of the noon rush. Oh, you didn't notice the manager changed the schedule just after you left and that's all your damn fault. There's a new menu item and oops we didn't train you how to make that, but we're trying to serve afternoon customers and why aren't you wearing your uniform? If you show up again without your uniform to help save us in a pinch you shouldn't show up again. The mistakes happen and happen again. This isn't how food should be served and overcooked food (or under cooked) is the result. Or sometimes no service at all. Even three decades ago we were being pushed to the point where a 'bastille day' wouldn't be outlandish. So, yes, I am one of the many posters who've switched from fast food - or restaurants entirely, to cooking all my food at home. I refuse to support an otherwise respectful industry in it's incessant need to ruin good food and the workers who produce and serve that otherwise good food.

I used to work at mcd. I always made sure to follow instructions and put the spicy sauce on both buns when making spicy mccrispy. But afterwards sometimes when i order one they either only give one side or forget the spicy sauce. I always have to tell them extra sauce.

​@@jhathaway8026 For real though. I used to be able to buy a large quality brandname candle for like $15 but now they're all starting at about $30. I've had some luck with bargain candles but those are really hit or miss when it comes to quality.

​@@jhathaway8026Eh, those are giant fucking candles though. Look at those bottom tubs, that's a huge candle.

Probably product placement based on how they are arranged

review brah is not angry, he's just disappointed

Hey I like your style. From your snappy dressed self to your opinions and verbal voice. Good Job you dapper young man. KUDOS to You ! Thanx 4 the review !

It's been ridiculous for a while. I feel ashamed whenever I stop into a fast food joint because I know I'm throwing money away

Thank you for the honest review! You're absolutely right about the inconsistency of fast food quality (also some sit-down restaurants as well). Some of the challenges being employee turnover, variation in ingredients (supplier reliability) and most importantly the difference in franchise management.

I’m not a fan of McDonald’s but my daughter loves it. So once a week she gets a happy meal. (She eats super healthy every other day). When she eats I get a small McFlurry and every week it’s different. Runny, icy, bland, sweet, soft, hard. Lots of topping, no topping. It’s always different. It’s ice cream. How can ice cream be different every week?

I wouldnt raise my daughter to grow up being used to eating additive and chemically ridden low quality overpriced garbage every week. Fries in mcdonals usa have 26 ingredients. Here in germany its Potato, Oil, Salt thats its. Its poison

That intro is as hypnotic is ever. I love it!

While watching the video, there was a commercial for the Spicy McCrispy. Made me laugh.

Thank you so much for your honesty and highlighting the consistency issues in fast food. Ive also noticed this issue more often than not

I got this same sandwich in Texas. The quality and even the way they made it was similar to yours. Except, mine had no pickles, 1 piece of burnt bacon in a box, not a pouch.
