Yep wrapped in newspaper when I was kid & supermarkets didn't exist ! Sister & I went to the corner shop where the owner served you in a gray lab coat!!! Lol

I would prefer to go to local the hamburger take away place now over maccas. You get far more food and better quality than maccas

And cold whoppers

Actually some computer whizzes just fixed the machines recently. Big news story.

Hahaha

Its not by accident, Taylors the maker of the machines have exclusive maintenance contracts on the machines which creates little incentive to fix them in a timely manor (would mean hiring more workers) or to ensure that they dont break in the first place. Taylors makes 20% of their profit from recurring maintenance fees. Thats why the machines always broken

Dunno about you but 9/10 times I go to a Maccas, the ice cream machine is working.

Burgers are better at the pub with a beer

Yeah I got a Big Mac the other week for first time in maybe 3 or 4 years. I couldn't believe how small it was! Very thin little patties; I guess they want to get the fat grams down?

True, I remember your Mum well 😉

Americans pay that price too.

Have you seen the price of mince in Australia these days?

They don’t actually have to.

$7.50 for something that has 80 cents worth of ingredients in it . Most McDonald's food is marked up 300% to 1000% Supermarkets sell one kilogram packets of frozen potato fries for $2. while McDonald's will sell you around 50 grams of cooked fries for around $2.75 or $54 a kilo and McDonald will sell you a small soft drink in a cup for around $2.50 while at the supermarket , the same amount in a 1.25 litre bottle will cost you about 20 cents for 250 mil serving. Once I went to McDonald's in the morning and order a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich called a toastie and the assistant said to me '' that there would be a delay with the order because the product was in the deep freeze and had to be defrosted before being heated to serve '' , since then I have never returned to their stores .

*Checks Google Maps ;-) * Since the one on the corner of Sydney and Mahoneys Roads is listed as Fawkner II, I presume it was either relocated or rebuilt at some point. As for the first one in Melbourne, it was actually the one in Glen Waverley, which opened in 1973, and that one was rebuilt several years back too. :-)

@@EamonThePhilogynistWalford Yes Wikipedia says Glen Waverley. I thought Fawkner was the first one. It was one of the first ones. It was about 100 metres back from the Mahoneys road intersection from memory. The one on the corner now, having looked at Google earth, is not the original one. And I’m pretty sure it’s not the original location either but I may be wrong. It was a LONG time ago 🍔

@@aussie8114 Got it. :-) Anyhow, all this talk of burgers is making me a tad hungry, but my next Macca's Run™ will have to wait until lunch. ;-)

Just send it

Yes, it was on friday, I missed it aswell. its about the right price for today's sized "big" mac.

Thats where he got his victims for the r-p- dungeon from LOL

He lives in the neighborhood I grew up in. Would see him all the time in the area. Great bloke and always had a laugh when you yelled ok ya flamin mongrel! Top bloke. Oddly enough he drank at a pub where Blake was a barman 😂

Rebel . . .

Yes the whopper ain't the same , So expensive for nothing better counter burger at pub

2 whoppers on the voucher is great though

@@pineapplesideways3820 the whoppers are better at HUNGRY JACKS

You can't say mcdonalds is bad to work at though if you have never worked there, so then what is your reason for 'never' wanting to work there.

@@ebujunior6206 I don’t like people

It's a good first job to learn a good work ethic.

@@juststuffwithwolfe4482 As good a reason as any 🤣

And in moderation its perfectly fine... Lazy people are more prone to making bad food choices and developing diabetes.. I worked there fulltime as a teenager and ate it everyday just about, i also lived an active lifestyle riding motor cross and bmx. Are u saying im going to get diabetes now?

Get a McSalad up ya

@@mifo2000 No. *You* are saying it. I’m saying what I wrote. That it’s strange to celebrate a place which epitomises bad food choices which, in turn, can cause diabetes and many other problems. Try eating Maccas every day *now* and tell me how you look and feel in a few months. I could get away with shovelling just about anything in too when I was a kid. We all could.

@@davidbarrett8058 Nah. It’s all processed shite. Cat food. I’ll rather go smoked barbecue ribs with some roasted potatoes, tomatoes and a beer any day.

@@ivareskesner2019 the 3rd word I said is moderation... and David's right. Grilled checken breast on a wrap with mayo and lettuce. Obviously maccas has come along way. I work in the meat industry working on industrial meat grinders. Id eat maccas beef patties over tek foods kebab meat which supppy 90% of kebab shops AU. But again in moderation a kabab is fine. Only lazy people are going to eat quick easy unhealthy food to often. Ill treat my kids to a happy meal once a week if i get to see them happy.. ill also get them bmx and mountain bike and take them out to exercise

Dude that number is for over the 50 years of existence. It's probably actually underestimating how many people had their first job at Macca's. I recon it's about 1.5-2 million.

thats why you have no friends champ

The real Joe Biden probably does think that, if his taunts of "HEY FAT!" are any indication. ;-)

if you look down on others, you should take a good look at yourself.....you are no better than anybody

@@shaysladski8831 there's plenty of us around.

@@shaysladski8831 we look down on them.
