McCafe, why we love it, why we hate it!

That's as may be, but I'm betting the rolls aren't as big as you gather from the ads - I notice the burgers held by the people in the ads look monstrous but my tiny little mitts seem to dwarf the MacD burgers I've bought. Either their actors are all five-year-olds wearing false moustaches or they deliberately make larger burgers for "advertising purposes only" - nothing like the pissy little things you pay an astronomical price for at Mackers.

McDonalds sucks... there food tastes like crap

I never wondered what crap tastes like, but now I know

When I worked at McCafe in Whangarei, the vouchers were good for any medium coffee /mocha /hot chocolate. no stupid extra charges. this was over 3 years ago mind you, the chocolate powder (only difference between coffee and mocha) prices must have skyrocketed since then.

If I were you I'd be ordering a cappuccino and taking in my own chocolate powder so you could make a mocha for yourself on their bench in front of them at no extra cost

AND THE PACKAGING IS MORE NUTRITIOUS THAN THE FOOD

[WINJA]

TO BE FAIR ABOUT MCDS , THEY HAVE THE HIGHEST FOOD HANDLING STANDARDS OUT OF ANY FAST FOOD JOINT, I ALSO INSPECTED THE MEAT PROCESSING PLANT MANY TIMES AND THE MEAT IS THE BEST QUALITY .
THE CHICKEN CEASER SUB IS DELICIOUS

[Gremlin]

I also hate McD, tastes like cardboard, and I haven't had it for years.

The one advantage though, which Winja touches on is their food is top quality, and all over the world too. Go to India (or something along those lines), and you want a meal, you are best going to something like McD, because the food is still of a "high standard".

We frequent McDonald's/McCafes a lot.

Re the 50 cents you had to pay for the free coffee.....I would think that is because you ordered a large drink? The coffee card specifically states that after X number of clips you get a free medium coffee. You can pay 50c and upsize to large.

The deli rolls are very nice, and they are (IMHO) a reasonable size.

From memory I thought the $4.50 voucher was for a muffin and any type of coffee. Can't look at it cos it's in the car waiting to go to Manfeild tomorrow (see below).

BTW, the Paraparaumu McD's (on the main road) now serves FW/latte etc. They aren't a McCafe, but they do serve McCafe coffees. Also, they do them through the drive through. We're testing it out for the first time on our way to Manfeild tomorrow (they open @ 6.30am).

We go to McD's/McCafes by choice in all our travels. We know what we're getting, we like the food, and there's always relatively clean toilets.

PS: was the 30c extra for the voucher moccachino because it was a large and not a medium?

being an avid world traveller, the one thing you can always count on is McD's.. and, bonus points.. if you ever get in trouble in a far away place.. well... we call it the "American Embassy"..

The only reason I ever go near them......usually

But actually I have had a coffee at Gizzy Mcafe as, as Ramius says, it is one of the better places in town for such things.

... and there's always relatively clean toilets.

Only reason to go in there.

There's a slang term "McShit" - going into a fast food place just to use the toilet with no intention of actually buying the food.

If you get accosted by a PFY and say "I'm just going to the toilet first, then I'll be placing an order" it's a "McShit with Lies."

The Coffee was for Medium.

"Ever wonder why Zik Zak burgers come in plastic packs? Some of the plastic rubs off on the burger and doubles the nutritional value." Max Headroom (from the adventure series)

"Next time you feel like a Zik Zak burger just reach for your old leather wallet - it probably tastes the same."

Of course Zik Zak was the series' generic maker-of-everything so they wouldn't get stick for dissing a real company, but it doesn't take a degree in rocket science to figure out which companies inspired some of the digs.

One of my friends always reckonned McD's burgers came wrapped in paper so it rubs off on the burgers to increase their nutrition and flavour - "one standard burger and 15 flavours of paper wrapper"...
