Would you queue for McDonalds?

I don't think its petty prejudice. I'm trying to understand why people would wait that long for 'fast' food when they could have saved time, eaten a better quality burger, and had more free time to do other stuff. Plus, they're reducing the air quality for people in the street if they are idling.

I once came out of a night cinema screening with a former friend who, lets say, is large enough to have his own gravity well. He wanted a big mac. The car park at 11.30 had about five cars in it. I offered to go and buy the burgers if he parked his car. He refused and insisted on driving through...so we got stuck in a small jam and waited longer than it would have taken me to go in by foot.

Plus, the thing that was in a bun with bit of floppy green stuff (I assume was lettuce) was my first and only experience of a 'big mac'. Certainly not impressed....

Probably for the same reason that people (me included) will queue in a busy bar or at Costa/Starbucks for a drink they could get cheaper from a supermarket and drink at home. It gets them out of the house for a change of scene.

Worse yet there are people who will eat an elephant leg aka doner kebab that’s been festering for hours if not days
Sometimes even when they’re sober

I must confess whilst I'm terribly snobbish about McD's and would never eat there, I do like a kebab after an evening's refreshment, or after the day's meetings in London there's a great kebab round the corner from Paddington, which just sets me up for the train home to Bristol

Must confess, if do I do fast food, you can't beat a kebab. It takes skill to eat without spilling the contents everywhere, very filling although could do without those occasional grisly bits (and the paint-stripping flatulence the next day) Sir, where exactly where is this palace near Paddington?.

I used to work with a bloke who, when he was at university, worked in a place that made those lumps of 'meat' for kebab shops. When I asked him if he ever eats kebabs his reply was a fairly emphatic no.

I work in fast food heaven, I know what they pay for a pattie, it's 4 or 5 pennies, so wtf are you shoveling down your gob in your £1.99 "burger"? That's why I stopped eating "meat"......and that was 35 years ago.

I was put off when I took a bite of a left over one the next morning, and it was a good while until I bought another !

I got over it and I do enjoy them occasionally nowdays. They're full of healthy goodness like salad and pickled chilli and stuff !
