It's a Disgrace!

You should whinge about it on twatter, Mary OP.

Well, in the interest of saving us all from this kind of thread in the future, there IS recourse, OP. I believe most, if not all, fast food restaurants now have designated spots for drive-thru customers to pull over and park if they have a problem with their order. Sometimes an employee actually comes out. If not, when you go in and inform them, they tell you that you can wait in your car and someone will bring out a corrected food order. Which the employees like to do because it means they get to walk outside for a fleeting moment.

Having said this, I did love your thread title and description and poll.

1) The pickle is pretty much the saving grace of a big make, and makes it worth eating

2) If you're stupid and weird enough to not want pickles, THEY'RE EASY TO PICK OFF

3) You realize there are pickles in the big mac sauce, right? It's just thousand island dressing. Which has pickle relish in it.

4) You're an idiot. ' 5) I hate you.

The staff does not make a fresh to order burger for no pickle - so whether you pull it off or they do, it tastes the same.

If you are actually making a custom order so that you get a fresh burger made just for you, you need to order it without something that is more difficult to remove - like no mustard or no onions.

You should have got out of your vehicle while it was parked in the middle of the drive-thru, thus causing a pile-up, stopping them from doing any more business, dropped to yo knees, while holding the offending pickle in the air and weeping, weeping copiously, rising to a scream, as you swayed to the left, swayed to the right, then howling as you beat your chest with the egregious pickle...

........then went into a corner and curled up in the fetal position, rocking back and forth in a pool of your own urine and feces.

Thus, the event ends in tears.

I don't know where you live, R4, but where I live they make fresh burgers if you order with no pickle. Also if they fuck up and put one on, they make another one for you if you insist. It's easier than arguing from their point of view.

Here have mine I always throw it away anyway.

This is the Datalounge there is always a recourse- you should have driven back, gone inside and hurled the burger at the staff like a spoiled Olympian.

The question you should be asking here is what should you have been screaming at the staff as you threw the burger.

"DIE IN A GREASE FIRE"

thread closed

wait. isn't McDonald's food all made from the same base substance anyway, like their French fries use the same granules they put in the milkshakes, just pressed together and fried? just swipe your card and eat your soylent, OP.

I was at the market today and painfully injured when someone threw a cucumber at me and struck me in the chest.

I think that's a disgrace.

Just get hopped up on meth and tell them not to make you assume your ultimate form.

Yummers . Now I want a Big Mac.

Just don't let them throw any pickles at you, R14. Because that would be a disgrace.

It's wrong! SHOCKINGLY wrong!

I was in line at the very same McDonalds drive through a few years ago, and the squawk box was so bad they always though when I said "hold the pickle" that I was saying "double pickle", so you can imagine what a disgrace that could be; so this one time I said "with no pickle" and the kid repeated it back to me as "with double pickle". Without thinking I immediately shouted back "NO, GODDAMIT". I was so embarrassed, I couldn't even bring myself to apologize. Now [italic]that [/italic]was a disgrace!

I'll tell you what a disgrace is. Having to ask for ketchup now. I always forget and then don't have any ketchup.

DISGRACEFUL!

Take the fucking pickle off the fucking burger you big fucking goddamn baby.

I agree with R18, that is a disgrace.

I do not agree with R19, for reasons already well known to him.

[quote]they always though when I said "hold the pickle" that I was saying "double pickle"

Something similar happened to a coworker who treated herself to a Wendy's burger every Friday. For two consecutive weeks, she asked for "no ketchup, no mustard" and got no toppings but ketchup and mustard. The first week, she just grumbled a bit and ate it, but the second week, she took it back to be made correctly. The third week, the cashier remembered her, swore they would get it right that time and confirmed it with the cook. "No ketchup, no mustard, right?"

So, my coworker got back to her office, unwrapped her burger and found that it did, indeed, have "no ketchup, no mustard." Also "no meat."

R21 The brats that work there should be lucky that they have a deskilled environment available to them in which their feeble minds can actually perform any amount of labour required to provide some kind of goods or service. She should have them fired any which way. They can smile and make the fucking burger and they can like it or they can lose their job.

I forgot to mention that "it's a complete disgrace".

Just lucky you didn't order a McRib...

[quote] 2) If you're stupid and weird enough to not want pickles, THEY'RE EASY TO PICK OFF

FUCK YOU, R3! Pickles are fucking DISGUSTING! And picking them off is NOT enough, they still leave behind their disgusting flavour!

What kind of dumbass orders a burger without a certain topping and then doesn't check to make sure the idiots got it right?

I *always* check my no mustard/no pickle burgers before pulling away from the window or before walking away from the counter.

And if they *do* fuck up my burger, I make sure to pull off a chunk before handing it to them so that they *have* to make me a new one, instead of pulling off the pickle and giving me back the same gross burger.

You know what's really good? The A-1 burger at Burger King, add extra pickles and extra onions, add mayo (along with the A-1 sauce).

Bring it home and put a little Worcestershire sauce on it.

OMG.

"Do you think this rises to the level of being a disgrace?"

It's more of a 'Pretty Pickle.'

I thought McD has its sandwich making down to a science.

They do, R29, that's why I think it's a complete and total disgrace and why they should apologize.

I was kind-sorta hoping that this thread was going to be hijacked by anybody else who came into contact with anything that could be called a disgrace, especially since a certain political someone (or no one, depending on your viewpoint), keeps calling just about everything that doesn't go his way "a disgrace".

In fact, DataLounge, your failure to do so is a complete and total disgrace. There, I said it!

R29, it's their "McSandwich making". Get it straight.

Poor people are dreary, and fat, poor people are even more of a nuisance. That is the real disgrace here--your pathetic life, OP.

R3 is also an idiot but scores points for adding the "I hate you" bullit point which made me doubletake and laugh twice.

R33, I prefer my pathetic Mclife, to your dreary, joyless McComment.

Throw that shade, Missy-Ma'amela Champamela @ R33!

I cry for you OP

R12 was referring to the attached link. The fact that R12 didn't include the link making me have to find it is a disgrace! A complete, and total disgrace.

Mrs. Helmus was attacked by another pickle wielding perpetrator, at the link.

I don't know how you cope, OP.

[quote]Something similar happened to a coworker who treated herself to a Wendy's burger every Friday.

Someone *treats* herself to a Wendy's burger?

I think R21 is on to something that really is a disgrace!

You want to know what's really a disgrace? Ronald McDonald hiding in the bushes, trying to steal our children!

There are more BBQs scheduled for tomorrow so there are more opportunities for complete disgraces. Everyone should be on their toes. Even their tippy-toes.

Shouldn't McDonalds give you a rebate if you ask them to hold the pickle? (Good Lord, that sounds nasty!) I think they ought to deduct the cost of the pickle. Not doing so is, well, you know.

A special order at McDonalds?

Where did you think you were? Burger King?

I think McDonalds ran a couple years' worth of commercials saying that special orders were ok there as well, R45. This was after Burger King had their big promo.

I will never forget BK's jingle.

I also know the 800 number for Sheriton Hotels, from their jingle in the 1970s. I don't remember where I put my keys, though.

Hillary just had an epic coughing fit. I, personally do not think it's a disgrace, but I suspect it's on some people's list.

Am I the only one picturing OP looking like Bubble Bass from the "Pickles" episode of Spongebob Squarepants?

Did OP survive the pickle problem?

Do not attempt to interfere with our perfectly legal condiment business.

Yes, R49, I'm fine. Thank you very much. I am touched.

I am not a pickel person, I must say.

I think we need to get the Presidential candidates on record about the pickel pickle.

Johnson has already stated "What's a McDonalds?" You all realize that he quit smoking pot for the duration of the election, right?

Ha ha, that fucker did it on purpose! Your coworker must've been a bitch when she came through.

And once again, anyone who order a burger made differently from usual but doesn't check it before leaving the restaurant is a stupid cunt who gets what they deserve!

R54, but you didn't say it with the panache, or elan, of R2 or R3. As far as I'm concerned, the thread could have stopped right there. No offense meant to latecomers.

IOWs, R54, your a disgrace!

Just dill with it, OP

Call 911, like Obesia, Quaneisha and Bodicaea did!

Who eats at McDonald's?

Fat whores with no taste, that's who!

I'm R55, and I know that "your a disgrace!" should have been "you're a disgrace!".

R58 is right.

Lena Dunham is a regular.

I haven't been back since 8/20. Too many bad memories.

I'll set up a GoFundMe account to help with the cost of psychotherapy OP.

You've suffered enough.

Thank you, R62. Every little bit helps.

Thanks everybody for your concern!

I once got a hotdog with mustard when I ordered ketchup. At a ball game, also no recourse.

What is Bug Mac?

Darfur Orphan, you've already had your say.

And why does McDonalds no longer automatically give out ketchup?!! Of COURSE we want ketchup with anything we order there! It's McDonalds. We wouldn't be eating there if we DIDN'T want to slather our fat burgers and greasy fries in ketchup!!

Yes I used thesaurus dot com to come up with turpitude.

If that's a disgrace, then well, I'm guilty.

R5, r6, R13? I love you.

Ha! I'm R6, but not R5 and R13.

You are in love with multiple people.

This thread is like a drug..........

And thus...........

You're a disgrace, R71.

[quote]whether you pull it off or they do, it tastes the same.

I know I'm late for this but I can't just let it slide.

THAT'S A DAMN VICIOUS DIRTY FUCKING LIE AND YOU KNOW IT!!!

It does NOT taste the same. Once you put a pickle on a burger, you can't just go back. Those disgraceful, nasty, fat green dicks DRIP, because the little abominations are actually fucking MOIST. They leave behind an ESSENCE.

And the essence that these atrocities leave behind is UNMISTAKABLE because their flavor is so pungent and RANCID. So I think I would fucking KNOW if I tasted PICKLE ESSENCE on my BURGER you CUNT!

To even INSINUATE that a burger would taste the same after it's been TAINTED WITH PICKLE ESSENCE just goes to show how ignorant you are on the subject of pickles. SO TAKE YOUR GODDAMN STUPID, PICKLE-LOVING ASS OUT OF HERE AND STOP SUCH LIES!

What is ketchup? Is food for big mic?

I support R73 with every fiber of my pickle-HATING being.

Of COURSE you can taste if a pickle has been on your burger! OF COURSE!!!

Why on EARTH has no one pointed out R3's calling a BIg Mac a "Big Make???!!!"

It's a DISGRACE that he tainted the good name of Big Mac and it's more of a DISGRACE that none of you CUNTS noticed!!!!

Tighten up, cunts of DL!

I agree with R73, and I applaud his enthusiasm

A burger really is ruined if you place a pickle on it. End of story.

R76, I personally think R3 redeemed himself by adding to item 4, the idiot accusation; item 5, that he hated OP. His paragraphs were messed-up but I can understand that, because this is such an emotional topic that really touches all of us.

Wtf is going on in this thread omfgggggggg!!!1???!??!!?

R79, It's a disgrace, is that what you're trying to communicate? If so, I'm right there with you.

[quote] R4: The staff does not make a fresh to order burger for no pickle...

This is distressing, I would say it's a disgrace! But I think I already did. It is a disgrace, btw.

r79 your use of punctuation marks is a DISGRACE and I won't stand for it.

I am OUTRAGED at r79 s weird punctuation! !!

Since he's anonymous I have NO RECOURSE!

R79, National Punctuation Day is this month, too.

This was so traumatic to me that I haven't been able to write about it before and really haven't ever told a soul, but back in 1992, I travelled from Boston and went to le Duncan Donuts in Montreal. The Frog Frau behind the counter prepared a sausage-egg and cheese with pickle on le croissant for me and then sneezed into her hand. She then stood in front of the mirror and wiped her nose with her hand, and when finished, put a huge thumb imprint in the le croissant and served it to me, all without washing her hands. I just stood staring at it so dumbfounded I could do nothing but get up and leave that disease-ridden breakfast where it was placed, untouched. Only my BF with me at the time knows about this.

I think this really was quite a [italic]DISGRACE![/italic] I challenge anyone to present a better pickle-relate international disgrace.

A chick in my area shot a gun through the drive thru window at McD's when they messed up her order.

I have come to understand that one calls 9-1-1 when one's order is flummoxed.

R86, Was it the one across the El Paso border? Because it's a disgrace, and certainly a contender.

R87, not in Quebec! They don't use English numbers there!

True story, here she is

OOPS here she is in all her glory....

Team Zoo!

But what would it be in a two-way polling match-up between Yes and No without Team Zoo and None of Your Business?

I ask rhetorically because the media keeps publishing two-way polls in places where there are four on the ballot and I keep thinking it's a complete waste of brain cells since it really means less than nothing.

Bacon is serious business, I can't say I blame her.

Rising to the level of disgrace? I think Trump has set the bar too low.

OP this reminds me. When I was trying to get sober I often sit at home and watch vids like this.

Yeah, R96, that's a disgrace. It rivals mine, I must admit.

Today, America faces a disgrace even greater than an unwelcome pickle.

Trump will fix this. There will be tremendous big macs with delicious pickles.

You know it, R99

R100, that's a good one,

"Attia of the Julii, I cry for justice."

EST

Everyone knows it's impossible to get a hamburger of any kind at McDonald's without a pickle. They are welded to the inside of the bun

Op, you should have told them you voted for Trump, because you get special privileges at stores.

Thanks, R104. I get such good advice on DL.

IT'S A DISGRACE!

Whatever it was!

How the fuck does this thread have 106 responses (107 now)?

How the fuck does this thread have more than 7 responses?

How the fuck does it not have 300 responses!

Because it is so fucking retarded.

Trump said today that it's a DISGRACE that the intelligence community revealed that Trump has been assisted by the Russians. Then he associated it with NAZI Germany.

Heaven help us!

R102, I love that response. I know the reference. I hope you use it regularly everywhere; or else, I think I might!

This is why it has over 100 responses!

It's just like NAZI Germany!

Censored, R114!

If only they had McDonald's in NAZI Germany! It would be exactly the same thing! I DON't WANT THAT PICKLE!

Well, that's a disgrace, R115! How do I get it uncensored?

I think it's viewable now. If anyone still has trouble, please let me know and I'll try to fix it. Thanks!

Can I have your pickle? Or did someone already get it?

My pickle was promised to no one, R119, you can have it!

There is a lot of interest in this thread in pickle swapping. I bet there is an egghead in a basement out there somewhere who can turn this into a lucrative online business. I don't want the pickle, but I do want my 20%.

This thread is why us old-timers keep coming back to this place.

And THAT, my friends, is NOT a disgrace.

Pickle is a funny word.

Pickle.

Pickle pickle pickle.

Indeed, yes indeed, R122.

bump

r73 should run for office based on his passion and commitment to the truth. In what world, nay, UNIVERSE, is putting a pickle on a burger and taking it off the same as no pickle. Like, ffs, just dip the whole thing in a pile of garbage. It's already ruined.

I still love this thread.

I have just discovered that cats are afraid of pickles and cucumbers. Why is that? OP, are you a cat?

I don't eat McDonald's nearly as much as I used to. Maybe once or twice a month these days, if that. My outrage comes after clearly and distinctly ordering NO CHEESE on ANYTHING, some dumb fuck gives me a Big Mac or fish sandwich with cheese.

So, on my rare excursions to McD's, I check my order while I'm still standing in line if I'm indoors, or open my bag and check things out in the drive thru before I pull off. I'm sorry, I don't care who's behind me, how busy they are, how long the lines are..I ordered NO CHEESE, and that's what I expect. The pickles...I don't mind so much. I'll usually just toss 'em. Get my fucking order right, and we have no problem. Why does everyone assume that we ALL want cheese on everything? It's disgusting!!

Your boundaries have been noted. Thank you for your participation, AIKC.

I envision a scene at McD's in which AIKC's order has been fucked up, sort of like a Faye Dunaway/Mommie Dearest moment: No more cheese! No more Cheese, as AICK beats the living crap out of poor minimum wage order taker.

Omg...you made me LOFL R130. It's beyond aggravating though. If I had a dollar for every time I had to send something back because I requested no cheese and they give it to me anyway, well, I'd be typing this from my seaside estate in Hawaii.

Cheese is hard to peal off because it melts into the other things. It's like pickle juice in that way. But I hate that AIKC does this checking while he's still in line. I feel like I've been behind him. AIKC, you could pull into the spots reserved for complex orders, and do your checking there. That way, you don't inconvenience the people behind you.

Hint: the Yiddish term "shonda" is far more dramatic.

It' s an old thread but I feel Op's pain. Pickles are an abomination.

Nonetheless some things you just have to learn to dill with.

Ow ow wow ow ow, R134!

OP is Donald Trump?

No, R136, but I was making fun of him.

[quote] R40: Someone *treats* herself to a Wendy's burger?

My sister works with really poor people and one took someone else out to KFC for a dinner date. Not to bring the thread down on porpoise. I heard that 20 years ago and still feel bad. Now, that’s really a disgrace. Now, back to the serious pickle matter.

A pickle?

[quote] beats the living crap out of poor minimum wage order taker.

The thing that irritates us the most is the thing that reminds us most of ourselves, so.....yeah.

Thank you, R139, I shall take that under advisement.

LOCK AND LOAD!

[quote]R128: I don't eat McDonald's nearly as much as I used to.

Because you are now making healthy life choices? Belatedly, Betty?

OP and R128.

I’m against pickles, but I do put relish in tuna salad, when I make it. That’s the only time I go near it.

[quote]I ordered a Big Mac with "no pickle", and they gave me one with a pickle. I was in the Drive-Thru, so there was NO RECOURSE!

OPs post reminded me of one of my favorite books from the late 70's: NO PICKLE, NO PERFORMANCE! by Harold J. Kennedy. While it talks about a lot of old Hollywood and TV stars, the title refers to a story about Renee Taylor & Joe Bologna. Here's a recap of the story:

[Harold Kennedy's] book [No Pickle, No Performance] is dedicated to actress Renee Taylor, who refused to come on stage during a play's opening night until she got a pickle with her sandwich, as she had during the previews. The coffee shop that had provided those sandwiches was closed, and the curtain was held while a prop man got in his car and went searching for the holy pickle. It arrived seven minutes after the advertised curtain time, and the show went on.

Unknown to Taylor, the stage crew was so enraged by her antics that they performed "a little ceremony" with the pickle (dropping it in her dressing room toilet) before giving it to her. Gloria Swanson later said: "Poor Miss Taylor. Can't you see her shopping around to every delicatessen in New York complaining that she can never find a pickle to match the caliber of the one she had in New Jersey."

Bumping the pickle

Please welcome to the stage: EGREGIOUS PICKLE

I was in the car with an ex who drove all the way back through a Taco Bell drive up, just to throw an improperly prepared burrito through the drive up window at the clerk, screaming “I SAID NO FUCKING TOMATOES!”, before speeding off.

I feel your shame, r149, and wish you peace. Just keep in mind the trauma that your ex was forced to endure.

People who hate tomatoes REALLY hate them.

I’m thrilled that someone bumped this thread. I created it in 2016 and I still am bothered by that unexpected and unwanted pickle, so your sympathy is of great comfort to me.

MARY!!!
