Lord Thanks for the ego stroke. Now if I can just get everyone at work to address me by this title. ;-) Not wise to make a habit of this though, even when addressing a machine. Being a former Mac's employee, it is a policy to "Suggest a product" to the customer. Mac makes more off the QP with cheese then without it, so it is to there advantage to try and sale you one with cheese. Ah.... but they never charge you for the extra cheese! As for giving you a QP with cheese, politely ask to see the manager and inform him of it, he will usually thank you for the return of the QP with cheese and replace it with your ordered hamburger... Actually when I HAVE complained about things the managment has always corrected the problem. Good customer relations. It just seems strange that the same mistake should happen SO consistantly! MacDonalds is your kind of place hamburger up your nose ..... :-) I eat them... I don't smoke them. Smoking McDonald's hamburgers is dangerous due to the high grease-content. =========================================================================== And this from a fellow conspiracy theorist.... From: Subject: ME TOO! (McDonald's) ME TOO!!! I thought it was a plot to drive me insane! Boy, am I glad it's not just me. They do it consistently--here in Oregon, down in California, everywhere I go. At first I thought it was a ploy to suck the extra ten cents or whatever out of my wallet, but then I noticed that THEY DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR THE CHEESE! If they knew how much I hate cheese (their cheese, anyway) on my hamburger, they wouldn't tempt fate! "Do you want cheese on that?" "NO, NO CHEESE,THANK YOU!" Bingo. A cheeseburger. Ever tried peeling the cheese off one of those patties? Better to drive back to McDonald's and create a nuisance. Whew. I feel much better knowing that the conspiracy isn't only directed against me.
