Im done with them. I swear, I can be the only person in the restaurant, order a single taco, and itll either take 20 minutes or theyll lose the order. This kinda crap happens at every Taco Bell I go to. Never seems to happen at any other restaurant.

I park in the order from the app place. I order from there and have them minimum wage slaves bring me the food.

Right now they apparently have buy one get one free on 1/4 pounders, big macs, double cheeseburgers and 6 or 10 piece nuggets plus $1 any size soft drinks.

Two big macs and a large coke is literally 1500 calories, that's about all a lot of people eat in a day.

No, usually food elitist here will post about how dumb we are for consuming process premade food and then tell us how much cheaper, healthier and easier to make it ourselves like he's a pro-chief.

tbh I googled 'how much does one potato cost' and I didn't realize it gave me the price for a pound which was only about $1.10. and I'm sure mcd's has purchasing agreements so that large fry probably only costs them about 30-50 cents, if that, depending on labor costs

Joshua Weissman

He's a great chef but most of his stuff takes 8 hours of prep work or ingredients that are expensive as fuck.

He has made a but cheaper series which is an improvement but there's other food tubers that can be better to follow along with like Ethan Chlebowski, Adam Raguesa, RecipeTin Eats, MiddleEats, Simply Mama Cooks, Seonkyoung Longest (until she went vegan), and others.

For some reason I don't think they are allowed to put salt on anymore after they are cooked. I have had McDonald's in years, but I remember them being forced to make a change to the fries and salt I think?

If you just want fast food quality or something slightly better learning how to cook a burger is pretty easy.

I'll usually do mashed potatoes instead of fries but I'll occasionally get some frozen fries for my air frier. Chicken tenders too

Nope, fuck that. If they think I'm going to download an app, make an account, enter my information, and give them a line to market directly to me and metrics to sell, just for their food to be a normal price for fast food, they can fuck right off. Haven't eaten there in over five years now.

Businesses need to get the idea of making it mandatory to use their own individual app right the fuck out the door. Absolute insanity.

they are. you can't put salt in a fryer without ruining the oil, so the only option is doing it after

if you ever get unsalted fries, blame the person in front of you who ordered unsalted fries. they're also why you had to wait an extra 3-5 minutes

you should never, ever buy a drink from a fast food place. you can buy a 2 liter soda(or even a 3 liter in some places) for less than that drink.

and the 'little' fries is probably twice the size of a mcdonalds large
