yourauntbob Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 When I worked at McDonald's as a kid I would refuse to serve people that ordered a Whopper as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocko Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Don't worry, soon the place will be overrun by Chinese and they have NO concept of how a queuing system works and see it as a demonstration of their superiority to push ahead of everyone else for service. And Russians. BTW some of them are have a few $/£ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchybum Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 1. You can't remember the name of the mall? 2. McDonalds don't do Whopper meals - that's Burger King! Not bad for a $20 million genius hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel2003 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 quote 27 minutes had passed before I returned to my Wife (English too) empty handed and asked her to try, Another 20 minutes had passed and still no food service. end of quote OP waited 27 and 20 minutes to be served in a McD? Would have walked out, ticketing or not, after 8-10 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Whopper or Big Macs, why do people continue to eat this crap in Thailand? You'd need to ask the Thais. Personally, I once ate a McDonalds meal for a change because I wanted something quick and unchallenging. I like Burger King because their burgers taste of meat.

Would have walked out, ticketing or not, after 8-10 minutes. I expect this is all part of his development of an alibi. An explanation for 27 minutes away from his wife. Or perhaps, he's laying down some reference material for a friend, who is having trouble with his "I was in McDonalds for half an hour" excuse, after coming back sans Happy Meals...

maxme Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 1. You can't remember the name of the mall? 2. McDonalds don't do Whopper meals - that's Burger King! He orders the Whopper, the staff smiles friendly and gave him some burger that was ready. After standing around for 1 hour at the counter they just had to do something. Which begs the question, why couldn´t they just tell him to grab a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arminbkk Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 McDonalds has a ticket system , and you never saw a ticket being passed? I haven't either, in Bangkok, along Sukhumvit (usually Ekkamai). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have walked out, ticketing or not, after 8-10 minutes. And he stopped the time. It wasn't approx. 30 min. No it was 27 so he checked the time from the beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Don't get me wrong, I like a hamburger (BKing is my fav), but no matter what culture we talk about, if you spend 3/4 of an hour waiting to order some fastfood/junkfood, then one has a serious issue. In any city with some size, it would had taken maximum 30 minutes from one walked out of that McD to one found another McD, ordered, and got the food. Within 45 minutes, one could even had finished eating it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
