New McDonald’s ad campaign: You’d humiliate yourself for three bucks’ worth of fast food

Could the act of ordering a “McMuffin” be less dignified than it already is? Yep, says Kate Batchelder. Significantly less.

I don't see the big deal.

I can fake "love" with the best of them.

Want me to tell the idiot in line behind me that I love him and you'll give me 8-10 bucks worth of food (well, not really "food", but you know what I mean) for free?

I'm on that!

What the hell...I already have to ask for a meal in code, as in "I'll have the number 3, the Quarter-Pounder, with special sauce. My name is Jim...I don't want to super-size, I do want some ketchup..." on and on and on.

And then there is the one that actually calls you back into the store to ask you why you didn't ring their stinking bell, so you can announce to the world that the overcooked gelatinous blob of beef you just consumed was the best you had ever had.

I do draw the line at talking to a clown head, though.

Truth be told, I so rarely eat at a fast food place that I'm kinda out of touch, but getting a free meal for some meaningless words, yeah, I can do that and my self-respect stays with me.

It just has a price on it now.

I miss good Big Macs and fries.

“Can I get a sausage and cheese biscuit please?”
“NEIN! Ve do not serve dis after 10:30 a.m.! Gehen sie weg! Schweinhund! Dis ist die McReich!”

Mike Douglas has the solution

Having been subjected to the "Smiling Stonewall" method of refusal, I FULLY sympathize with the guy.

Last Tuesday I “won”. Clerk wanted me to call my Mother and tell her I love her. I said “My Mother died last Christmas and I am having a hard time dealing with it.” Clerk handed me the food and said “I am so sorry.” Dumb campaign.

You want to bring in more customers? Extend breakfast all day instead of this 10:30 a.m. SS curfew.

My understanding is the reason they're so strict on this point is that the cooking temperatures they use for breakfast foods are different from the regular menu, and they need to cut things off so they can switch over for lunch.
