I've been longer than that... almost 20 years now. My sister used to work in one, my friends and I ate there often because it was cheap... and that describes the quality as well.
If I want a burger, it's Five Guys or one of the local places for me. Even then, it's a rare event.0 -

As for the food, I'm glad McDonalds is reaching those looking for convenience but lighter options for their guests. I rarely eat McDonalds so I consider it a treat when I do. I have to admit that I'm a sucker for the Golden Arches when I'm on a road trip. More often than not, I look forward to fitting a Grilled Chicken Sandwich (hold the tomato, extra pickles) and fries into my diet.
Everything in moderation if you enjoy it
For some reason the grilled chicken is the worst to me out of everything! lol I feel like I could bounce it off the ground like a rubber ball! I tried to like it lol0 -

Yeah... no. :noway:FatFreeFrolicking wrote: »Personally, I find McDonald's to be absolutely repulsive. I was never a fan of the food and would only eat it if traveling and no other choices were available. Otherwise I haven't eaten McD's in over a year.
Good for you! *thumbs up*0 -
One perk of my job is we get food around town really cheap/free. When on night shift I eat there quite often, as long as it fits in my daily food plan it works. When I eat burgers I tend to go high on my carbs for the day combined with the fries. Usually I eat a chicken sandwich and also enjoy their salads. One of the night managers makes our salads herself and does them up right! Fast food isn't low fat or cal so you certainly have to plan the rest of your day around it.0

LOL - Now I may never look at it the same when on road trips! I usually really crave Big Macs, but figure the Grilled Chicken is the lesser of the two evils. 0 -

If I meal prep an english muffin with canadian bacon, cheese, and an egg white is that healthier than McDonald's version? And if so, why?0 -

I try to avoid this place at all costs... But occasionally I'll stop for a mcchicken without mayo and add cheese! Sooo tatsty!

I liked the Select Chicken strips and Angus Burgers then they dropped both and lost me. They are not going backwards every quarter for a while now because they are doing things right. Not sure why their food no longer agrees with me but it may be an age thing.0

I might be dating myself here but I really miss their pizza. It was so yummy, and the perfect size. Nom.0

I'll take Wendy's over McDonald's any day!0

OMG! McDonalds! I'm lovin' it!0

Not to go off topic too much, but we have two places in my part of NJ, 25 Burgers and Cheeburger Cheeburger that kick Five Guys' ***.
Not that I think they're any healthier than McD's of course, but the quality is far far better.
