          Coming home from an event last night around 2145, I could either stop at McDonald’s and spend roughly £5 on dinner and eat immediately; or I could drive 20 minutes home, start cooking and eat at almost 11pm. But the good news is I’d save about £3!

          … I mean, I still didn’t eat at McDonald’s, but like I understand why someone might

            I worked closing shift, it was sometimes faster for me to cook then rely on mcdonalds to have my food ready in a timely manner. At some point of the night they start cooking everything to order, so I pull into mcdonalds, spend 10-15 minutes waiting, or I can drive home spend the same amount of time cooking and sleep around the same time and save like 20$. Was a no brainer for me

            that being said, it’s insane to me the pricing difference there. A meal here is at least10-15$ so to think of getting supper at a mcdonalds for roughly a third of that … I haven’t seen that in years

    What’s worse is the perfectly fine food your multi-billion dollar company makes you throw away. And no, you may not bring it home for yourself.

    If you worked food service, you could stop that food from going to waste by licking it off the floor

      Still more dignified than what a food service employee has to go through on a daily basis.
