Am I lovin' it? Maybe. I'm not sure.

I am a busybusyboy. So when I run into McDonalds for a quick #2 (value meal, that is), I expect fast, tasty, cancer-causing food. But recently the service at McDonalds is so poor that it's infinitely quicker to go to the Cafe and get the Mac-and-Cheese that they serve everyday. It gets old quickly, but at least I get my food quickly. There has been some discussion recently on whether the Residential Programs and Services will renew its contract with McDonalds or not. At first, when I heard that RPS was considering replacing McDonalds, I thought it was a horrible idea! Blatant abuse of monopoly! Free up the dorm food market! But thinking about it more, McDonalds as it is run in Read would not survive in the free market anyways. This is not your typical McDoanlds. Here I list my grievances: 1) I never win the Monopoly game! And not only because they keep on hiding Boardwalk from me, but also because they ran out of game pieces for the fries, the chicken selects, the chicken sandwiches, and now, even the drinks! But they still advertise that they have game pieces. GRRR.... 2) The cashiers, more than half the time, don't know how to correctly input the McPick option (swapping fries for a fruit and yogurt parfait). But the hassle of fixing this problem is sometimes balanced out by incompetent baggers that give me fries AND a parfait. 3) The root beer seems to be 95% water, 25% of the time. No, that does not balance out. 4) The service is slow. I waited at least 15 minutes tonight. Maybe they were a little overwhelmed with customers, but the two cashiers kept on taking orders and/or joke fighting with each other instead of shifting over to food bagging. Arrr. So, bring on a new restaurant. Subway, Quiznos, or Wendys! Something faster!
