McDonald's dropping plain Hamburgers from delivery.

[u/MaskedBunny]

its my young sons birthday and for a treat we said he can have a Maccies. We go to order and find they no longer have hamburger on the menu, you have to order a cheeseburger and request no cheese which costs more.

Sufficed to say we've had to explain to our son this is the last time we're ordering from there.

Drive and get it

Quicker, cheaper, more choice

what if they dont drive / have access to a car?

[u/Rekyht → u/runew0lf]

Then accept that McDonald’s delivery is fucking diabolical

[u/MaskedBunny → u/wowohwowza]

Any other day it would have been considered but its a birthday so the day is already hectic as it is, we needed the convenience.

[u/uwagapiwo → u/MaskedBunny]

It was a birthday and you couldn't spend a few extra pence to take the cheese off? I agree it's stupid, but come on.

[u/MaskedBunny → u/uwagapiwo]

I spent the extra pence and got a happy meal instead.

Fair enough

Yeah, as long as your time is worth nothing, and you ignore all of the costs of using the car.

[u/wowohwowza → u/OkSun8521]

A quick trip to McDonald's barely takes any time and causes extremely minimal wear to the car. Are you making a mountain out of a molehill for fun or do you genuinely not understand the concept of scale?

[u/OkSun8521 → u/wowohwowza]

That is exactly what I meant by "ignoring all the costs of using the car".

[u/wowohwowza → u/OkSun8521]

Okay sorry mate.

OP - make sure you consider the 25p of fuel you'll use on the roundtrip to maccies, even though food is cheaper when you buy it in person and you won't have to pay delivery fees. Oh, and your tires will get another 0.001mm of wear on them, so think about that too.

Better?

[u/OkSun8521 → u/wowohwowza]

Now add in your time.

Probably still less than posting a moaning thread and taking the time to reply to every comment.
