All I ever see hear about is McDonalds is hurting, they are trying to figure out a path forward for their restaurant.
I saw a commercial for their sirloin burger about 3 weeks ago and I needed a hamburger fix. I normally eat at McDonalds exactly zero times per month. I walk in, see the different sirloin burgers they have, ahhhh......Bacon Cheeseburger......ummmm.......
I order a Bacon Cheeseburger sirloin thingy, plain. After ordering fast food more times than I've changed my socks, I've got it down to a science. You have to give your order in the same order they key the orders in. You can't say you want a plain hamburger, you have to say you want a hamburger, plain. If you don't, they forget, while searching for the hamburger button, that you said plain. I've mastered my ordering techniques over the years
I order the combo, plain, only bacon, only cheese. After a few minutes, the manager calls out my order, reads it as "Bacon Cheeseburger, only cheese, combo". Hey, I'm okay with that, as long as you didn't put pickle juice all over it, I'm flexible. I take the tray, head to fill my drink, and I hear "Sir....Sir......Sir......". I look, but can't see anyone. Then, from around the counter, the person that took my order came over to me and said "Sir, I apologize, I keyed your order in wrong. You asked for bacon and cheese and I keyed in cheese", let me fix that for you. I tell her that it's okay, and she takes me tray from me, walks behind the counter, up to the manager, and tells the manager that she keyed the order in wrong and it was missing the bacon. They said "We'll make you a new one". I told me, no need, just put the bacon on it, or just hand it back to me like that, it was okay. Nope. We're making you a new one.
They make me a new one, get me a brand new, hot order of fries, and send me off to enjoy it. It was probably the best hamburger I've ever eaten at McDonalds in all my years. In fact, it's probably in the top 3 of all time best hamburgers I've ever eaten at a fast food place. I was impressed. Wow, if this is what McDonalds is like now, then I'll be back.
I'm pushed for time tonight, think "I'm going to McDonalds to get one of those sirloin burgers".
I roll up, walk in, look at the menu....what....wait......what's going on here? No sirloin burgers. I stepped up and said "No sirloin burgers?" and was told "Nope, I can't believe it either, those things were good" from the cashier.
That's really sad, they show that they CAN make some really good food, but for some reason, they choose not to. I ate my McNuggets, and bid farewell.....until that Sirloin burger comes back
They almost had me as a customer...
