47. When I Worked

Dec 2014

there the eggs were about as real as eggs come. Unless McDonalds found a way to make a fake egg inside a real egg shell. Having worked at McDonalds (some time ago) and eaten at many, many other places, I'd say McDonalds is by far not the worst food choice out there when you are on the road. I've had far worse that cost far more. I find that food quality has gone downhill A LOT in the past 10 years, while McDs has stayed pretty much the same.
