I hear they will be serving breakfast all day now. Starting in October, not this morning.
This morning I just couldn't find anything for breakfast, or didn't feel like making it, couldn't find an apple laying around to munch on in the car, so I left with nothing. Sometime after 10:00 I got hungry, so stopped at a McDonald's. For some reason an Egg McMuffin sounded pretty good.
There was one guy in line ahead of me, and he asked the lady taking orders if it was too early to order lunch. She replied that it was 10:25, lunch didn't start until 10:30, so if he could wait five minutes... He had no problem with that, found a paper in a rack and sat down to wait. It was my turn to order.
But the lady at the register, the only person at the register, had taken it upon herself to walk into the kitchen to ask if they could start making lunch now. I could hear quite the conversation back there; if he wanted a burger they supposed he could, but the fryers weren't ready for chicken products, did they have the buns ready, stuff like that. Eventually she came back for my order.
"I'll have an Egg McMuffin".
"I'm sorry, it's 10:35, lunch started five minutes ago".

Todd, I'm thinking Readers' Disgust would pay you actually money for that.

Egg McMuffins are wonderful things. Love their hash browns, and the coffee is actually probably the best amongst fast food restaurants.

I hope you threw a temper tantrum, jumped over the counter and strangled the lady at the register.

I had an egg mcmuffin once, probably 12-15 years ago.
I've never been back.

I love that. I like their breakfast burritos and have often missed them by five minutes.
Ruins your day.

Timing is everything and apparently that's especially true at McDonald's.
Egg McMuffin's are okay but I'm a breakfast burrito fan. Around these parts breakfast burritos are now part of the late night menu. Makes a nice post-gig snack.

I'd say I hate every damn thing they serve, but I confess I loves me a big Frappe Mocha now and them

The last time I ate at McDs you got change back from your dollar when you bought a burger, frys and a drink. But I do buy their coffee when on the road. They have mostly clean restrooms and no for customers only signs. And I feel guilty and buy a cup of coffee, and they have pretty good coffee.

It would be interesting to dig into the archives and see out how many times you have told us this. It seems like at least once a month, to me.

Repetition is all we have. Nothing new and interesting happens to us any more (except Idiot Jam).

McDonald's. I have appreciated their toilets and air conditioning in lots of places. Bless 'em. They could pay their staff a bit more though.

Well, whatever you all think of their fast food, the McMuffin is an english muffin, an egg, some ham, and some cheese. No junk about it. You've all eaten the exact same thing on numerous occasions in your lives.

Breakfast is the only thing I eat at McDonald's nowadays.

I threw up the last time I ate at McDonalds about twenty years ago. I've never been back. That's not food.
