A cheese burger type meal, BUT I didn't want it with a carton three quarters full of ice cubes.

I asked, "can I have cheese burger with chips but I don't want the drink, perhaps instead of that could I have an extra portion of chips? I don't mind paying the same price".

No, was the reply we only do set meals.

But I would like to order what I want not what you say I can have I replied.

A quick check with her boss and no, under no circumstances can I choose unless it's a set order.

If I go to a chippy or a kibab shop they will alter anything to my needs, why can't Macdees?

I left as I had arrived with nothing.

Until people demand a choice of their own.

That I can go along with, espescially if the customer is being polite during the whole conversation, (which I was, but I left as if I had been stupid for asking).

The fact that none of the staff are over 17 should be a clue as to how well they treat people and the care that goes into running the places. It's truly terrible food, I've only ever eaten it when I've been out on the lash and there is no other option.

When we get takeout nowadays it's either Chinese or the good old chippy.

Strictly for the purposes of research, I went into MacDonalds to investigate. A Medium Cheeseburger Meal, including chips and a drink, is 3.89. A single cheeseburger is £1.39, and medium chips are 99p.

So you could have got what you wanted, a cheeseburger and 2 portions of chips, for £3.37, thus saving 52p.

I certainly wouldn't have chosen yellow for the medal ribbon if I did have a choice.
