Well their food still sucks...

But all the newer ones have wireless routers.... :D


So here I am on a gorgeous day sitting in my van eating some decent food I purchased across the street, smoking a fine handrolled cigar and taking advantage of the excellent signal stength in McD's parking lot.

And I don't have to compete for bandwidth like at the starbucks across the way, none of these yuppies with their overfed kids have a clue this is a hotspot.... :D :p

At least you're not eating their "food"...if you can call it that.
Used to work at one...Who didn't?...and I'm a vegetarian. Talk about your torture.

I had no idea they were putting wireless in the new ones. Hm. I don't think most McDonalds customers have laptops. The cigar sounds delicious by the way. I may go get one now.

I may go get one now.I didn't either until I goggled hotspots. I was shocked to see a bunch of McDonalds listed, and every one I've tried has signal strength that's excellent from the parking lot. They're Freedomlinks which is SBC, I'm able to logon with my username for my DSL, so I don't even have to purchase connection time.... :cool:

You might as well have bought the food at McDonald's with such a diet.

Depending on what sort of chicken, how it was cooked, and the dressing used, there could be tons of stuff wrong with your sallad. And the cigar is really not helping at all.

Why does a McDonalds need a wireless system?

I think it could be the cigar. People don't get cancer from salad.

Even though a cigar isn't really a "diet", since you don't eat it, you burn it.

Or light it, stick it up a drunks' arse, strip him naked before writing "HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW WILCOX?" on his chest before dumping him on his ex-girlfriends' doorstep, ringing the bell and hiding in some bushes to watch as Wilcox, his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend and a 300 pound bouncer answer the door dot dot dot.

And the cigar is really not helping at all.The chicken was the dead kind, live ones are hard to chew. It was grilled breast meat and the dressing was a red wine vinegrette. It had fetta cheese, spinach, cherry tomatoes, red onions and quite a variety of leaf lettuces (no iceburg).

And maybe the cigar didn't help but at 44, I'm entitled to one vice.

I hope you used a cheap machined rolled one for that....

Of course. Considering I didn't do it, but I want to. So very much...

Advice: don't get drunk in my presence.

Goddam diet nazis ... can't they just let a man enjoy his (delicious) salad and cigar in peace? :mad:

rough night? I suggest a nice cigar and cold beer to get over the trauma (no, not the cigar they used on you. buy a new one.)

Why is everyone down on McDonalds? I eat their because it tastes good, I go maybe once every 3 weeks to a month but when I go their I get a shake, fries, and a Big Mac and it is delicious.

Because it's a big sucessful ("evil") company, that produces foods full of fats, sugars, preservatives, and other "evil" substances.
Didn't you know that if you eat there even just one tome, you'll die of heart disease! (http://www.theksbwchannel.com/health/4256172/detail.html)

If you eat at McDonalds, you will DIE.


Of course, if you don't eat at McDonalds, you'll still die. Handy how that works out.

I don't care, all of it is great food.
Especially the big macs and the fries.

I hold a three-year record of not eating at McDonald's.

I gather from friends who've visited that the quality of McD's is actually lower in the USA than elsewhere in the world, because it's made and sold so much cheaper. I do know it varies, because I've been in McD's in Italy, Greece, France and Spain as well as the UK and Ireland. However, I'd just like to say the one thing I miss about McD's since going veggie is their chips. McD's chips win the prize.

Yup, Maccas do well when it comes to the chips. And according to my mate, who's been to the US recently, McD's food does indeed suck over there.

Far, FAR better over here according to him.

Remember, their chips are soaked in beef fat.

Fat chipper chips and even oven chips are way better!

Well, here in Germany Burger King tastes a lot better then McD's. I just recently went over to a McD's as I wanted to refresh my childhood memory of Chicken McNuggets, and much to my surprise, the packaging tasted a lot better than the food. *blegh*

Ever since then I go to BK (and only there) every few weeks when I have a sudden "Schmachter" for fast food.

Interesting to note the hot spots bit though.
