I walked into my local McDonald's the other day because my mother and I were hungry. I really don't eat fast food, but I was in the mood. I ordered a Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal and was asked, "Do you want your free Quarter Pounder with that?" I turned around and noticed a sign that said something like "Free Quarter Pounder or Big Mac with purchase of one of the same".
“I only want twelve ice cubes in my coffee!”—
“I want a fish fillet with Mac sauce and one with ketchup and mustard!”—
“Crispy chicken. . . .No, grilled…No, crispy. . No. . . . Wait!” —
You know it's bad when you go through the heart of your city and can't walk three feet without being bombarded with fast-food signs. We talk about being healthy yet we house fast food quarters all around. They spread like a bad rash to imperialize areas due to free enterprise.
I worked at McDonald's for over 2 years during high school. The days there were fun and I enjoyed my coworkers and management. Eating there was cheap and easy since I worked there and could get discounts. I have moved off to college and in the past three months I have only had McDonald's once.
