Fast Food Gone Horribly Wrong!

Surf Reporter Andrew recently ordered a Filet O Fish sandwich at a McDonald’s in Melbourne, Australia, and this is what was served to him.  It’s a catastrophic fast fast food failure of the highest order!

    Reminds me of the time I was sitting in a McDonald’s getting ready to take a bite out of a quarter pounder and (luckily) saw one of the employees’ contact lenses on it before chomping down.

    Why does the Filet-O-Fish only have a half-slice of cheese on it? I’m glad to know that everyone only gets a half-slice, though. I was beginning to think my local McDonalds had something against me.

    Because their Idiots brandy, and because the piece of fish isn’t big enough for the bun, so they just put half a slice of cheese on it instead of a full slice. Makes it so that you don’t get a more cheesy taste and so to say *drown out* the taste of the other stuff.

    Geez, a half slice of cheese!!! We only get 1/3 slice here. I swear it’s an inch and a half wide. And, when you ask for some mayo on that dry southern style chicken sandwich, they charge you an extra twenty-five cents. It’s already ridiculously expensive in my opinion.

    Filet-O-Fish is a disaster that transcends all countries.
    In France too, they have frequent problems with this single cheese slice, and more generally about “burger piles”. You open the box and it has already miserably collapsed.
    I guess it is done to make us eat faster and faster – you know, swallowing the burger before the gravity wins.

I was sooooo Pissed. and another time I ordered a double cheese burger with extra ketchup drove about 5 miles down the road open the soggy wet paper that was already ripping bc of the wetness and discovered my double floating in a sea of ketchup it was literally unedible I was so mad that I turned around and drove all the way back (I was pregnant and hormonal lol) and pretty much threw it through the window I swore never again but alas I get a McNasty craving once in a while.

    I have on two separate occasions bitten into chili dogs and nearly broken a tooth, then fished around in my mouth and extracted a chunk of broken glass. This happened at two different company’s restaruants in two different citys over a year apart. The only explanation I can imagine is that chili sauce might come in a glass container and it got chipped getting the lid off.

    well i actually work at McDonalds and its kinda gross. and its kinda hard to make it look its best when your being rushed because customers are getting pissed because it takes to long and stuff. But really it difficult to work under that kind of pressure. we only have 45 seconds to get it made and to the custumer. im not going with the resturaunts.
    im actually writing a paper on fast food vs. health.

    honestly i think we should all stay away from fast food resuraunts because we are loosing quality time qwith family when eating out. at home you can help each other prepare it and all so there is more time spent doing so. and thats what is important right spending time with family. all this electronic stuff and everything that is conveinent to us is just making us lazy. sure its helpful, but life isnt always easy. so we all need to take a step back and think about all we have done.

    I heard that Texas is going to execute the Hamburgler via lethal injection next week. Apparently he is a repeat offender, and they are treating him as a special case. I think that we should all pull together and protest this heinous decision. Please consider sending an electronic message to the office of Rick Perry (the governor of Texas) stating your opposition to the Hamburgler’s execution using the following URL: http://governor.state.tx.us/contact/

    Together we can make this a better world!

    @ danielle. Sorry to falme you. What’s the paper for? Is your shift key broken? How about spell check? It does some grammer stuff too. Does everybody working there write like you do? Maybe that’s why fast food is like it is.Looks like you’ve already succumbed to the rewards of fast food. Hope you can do better writing a paper than commenting on a blog. Otherwise fast food might be your lot in life.

      Umm, maybe one should make sure their backyard is clean before making comments about other people’s yards. Falme? (try Flame) Also maybe hitting the spacebar every once in a while would make things more comprehensible as well.

      As for the quality of the food at fast food restaurants, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that people do not demand quality in their food choices. Also the complete lack of people’s pride in the quality of their work. Remember if you wouldn’t want someone to know you did it, then mayhaps you should have done a better job of it.

    In McDonalds here in Ireland,my girlfriend,ordered a cheese burger,and when we got too the table and opened the wrapper,discovered a plain burger with a bite taken out of it,when complaining too the manager,he took some convincing that we did not take the bite out of it ourselves,and only reluctantly replaced the burger with a fresh one.this did happen some years ago.

We actually had an empty Big Mac container one time- yes we had ordered it. the box was there but no sandwich and they didn’t believe us when we went back and I have never gotten any response form them over it. That’s not even discussing the food poisoning I got from Subway once.
