McDonald's-Pay With Lovin (video)

I love the McFlurry! Oreos and M&Ms together in Vanilla ice cream is pure heaven!

I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in the 1980s, and I too came home smelling like chicken (which I hated)...though the dog loved it!!!

Oh my God, Mr. Tim! Sad or funny thing, (Leaning more towards the sad side), a cashier in another state gave all the money in the register because a robber pointed his thumb and finger at them, like a gun....

Tom, I knew backlash was going to happen, with choosing which customers get free food, and which customers have to pay. This was a disaster waiting to happen.....

Not to mention, it puts the customer-facing employees in the direct line of fire. I can almost see a situation where an uncomfortable cashier is unwilling to deny the next person in line their free shot at food. It will then be like a game of dominoes, with one customer after the next expecting, and receiving, free food.

This has disaster written all over it.

And again, people don't visit McDonalds for "love". They visit because they are hungry.   Note to MD's senior mgmt: Those are TWO VERY DIFFERENT feelings.

Need proof?
You don't see eHarmony hawking free hamburgers !!

You have much more faith in the average McDonalds customer than I do.

I was forced to sit through the extended version of this turd, last night.  Watching it actually made me feel uncomfortable, for some reason.

Posted on YouTube yesterday.
I think this former McDonalds employee needed some lovin', maybe just a nice hug.

I went to McDonalds last night.  All of the people behind the counter were wearing shirts that said, "We love you more than our sauce".  I swear, I thought that the guy behind the counter was going to come out and give me a hug.  It was weird.

I know I personally avoided McDonalds for the entire month of February out of fear I would get called on. What McDonald's failed to take into account were all the people who just wanted their goddamn food without having to make fools of themselves in public, free food or not.

Some of those people have probably moved on to other fast food joints. Good for them

It seemed weird as hell to me that the Cashier told the customer that they didn't serve McNuggets at 10:30 AM, even though Lunchtime actually does start at 10:30, so the McNuggets would be available at 10:30, meaning that the Cashier would be lying.

Second of all, look how absolutely dark it looks outside. What 10:30 in the morning in the US looks so damn dark? 10:30 AM should be bright. Turns out, it is revealed in another video about this that the 10:30 AM was actually dubbed, and it was really 6:30 AM. Ah! Now the chicken McNuggets not being available makes sense. Why not just leave the original 6:30 AM in and not dub in 10:30 Am?
