Cursed By The Computer gods...and The Hamburglar

It is true. Last night I had stellar internet, now a little bit faster then dial-up. I agree with your comment on the last post Matt, wireless does suck here and I don't know why. Oh well at least it is good enough that I can post some things.

So I went with Paul to McDonald's after our last morning class today around 11 o'clock. We both learned some new things about McDonald's today. First we learned that they extended their breakfast hours which, correct us if we are wrong, used to end at 10:30am but they have now moved to 11am. All around that is not a bad thing cause their breakfast can be good. However the second thing that we discovered was kind of shocking. McDonald's doesn't know about lunch.

That's right. It sneaks up on them everyday and they fail to see the pattern of when the sun is directly overhead that people eat LUNCH. We pulled up to the drive-thru and there was a car infront of us when we over heard, "we're sorry but we're not ready for lunch yet." WHAT?!?! How can you not be ready for lunch yet? It happens every freaking day! I mean you know when you stop serving breakfast cause you set the hours Ronald. I mean do they have a 20 minute period where they just shut down and don't serve anything? I don't think so, there is no lull in business at McDonald's.

I think the thing that does it for me though is the fact that they are usually pretty strict with the end of breakfast and when it happens. Hey Ronnie, don't give me a hard time about being 1 minute late for breakfast if you are not prepared to serve me anything else.

I just noticed that if you sort of blur your eyes a bit, you look a lot like the lead singer of Fall Out Boy.

Having not only worked at McDonald's during the breakfast/lunch changeover, but have actually been in manager in charge of the store, I know that even though breakfast comes at the same time every day, the changeover never goes the same. It's insanely hard to keep a balance of breakfast foods to serve while the lunch food is prepared. Breakfast and lunch can't be made on the same grills. The breakfast grills are way too hot to cook the lunch foods on, so they have to guess how much to make, without going way over, because of food cost.
