yes, laugh at the silly canadian, but what in the hell is a chicken biscuit? a McChicken sandwich? we don't have this biscuit business up here. all i keep picturing is a really weird tea biscuit-type thing with shreds of chicken in it. help the poor canadian who doesn't properly punctuate her sentences out? lol

Don't feel bad, Stace, I'm from Michigan and I don't know what a chicken biscuit is either. Must be a local thing to the south.

Call me a cruel mother, but the minute I heard screams about McDonald's would've been the minute I decided we were going to another establishment. I hate that whiny/screaming shit.
My 4-yr old likes to sing, "Ba-da-da-da-baaaa, I'm lovin' it!" All. The. Time.

As a poor schmuck who used to work at McDonalds, I can safely say that there is no reason on God's green earth that is should EVER take that long to get your order. Ever. I'm usually pretty understanding, but in this case I would seriously consider filing a complaint with their corporate office. If nothing else, you'll get some free food out of it.

Ok, that just made my frickin' day!!!! Man oh man I can see you storming back there and getting your juice. I would have cheered for you!!!! Congrats!

I think it's perfect. I'd rather see someone do that than yell at the manager. It was a polite, quiet stance against the establishment. Rage against the machine! Rock On! ha ha ha ha ha oh, and a chicken biscuit is a biscuit with a breaded piece of chicken on it (like a breast).

There is a book I'd think you'd like very much, Uncle Bob: Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. Fascinating reading on your son's favorite place. You can probably find it at your local Barnes and Noble, too.

Think how I felt when I get to Illinois (on my way to live in Wisconsin, first time living outside of Alabama) and see only bagels and crap like that at McDonald's. I was shocked. My whole life I had eaten biscuits from fast food places. Oh and by the way, a buscuit is kind of like, well, um, do you have Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage biscuits? Or, um, where else? OH! Y'all have tons of cracker barells. I assume they all have the same stuff and they're famous for the biscuits. It's their "bread" they bring out.

The last time I ate at a McDonalds was in the late 70's when they got my order wrong and then refused to give me a refill on my ice tea. Hey, EVERYBODY gives refills on tea in the south. At least at the places where I spend my money.
Haven't missed em a bit.
I don't know what possessed you to let a 3 year old handle CD's, DVD's, and audio equipment, but the horse is out of the barn now.
If I would have touched my dad's albums or stereo eqiupment at that age I probably would have had my hide tanned.
Suggestion: Get Andrew his own little CD portable player, and teach him the difference between "Andrews CD's and CD player", and "Daddy's (NO TOUCH) CD's and CD player".

I don't think anyone who actually eats at fast food places would enjoy the book Fast Food Nation. I found it hard to even think about a hamburger from one of those places after Frontline did a special about the origins of that meat.
If you're curious a biscuit is a soft fuffly, buttery bread eaten esp at breakfast. McDonalds serves them sandwich style with meat like sausage or chicken.

I didn't know you were in Houston? There's this McyD's near where I work that takes a minimum of thirty minutes for a damn sausage egg and cheese buscuit. Yes, I am aware of my hardening arteries as I devour the goodness. On one trip, the guy at the register informed me they were out of sausage, so I ordered bacon. Nope, out of that too. So, I just ordered the Taquito. Nah uh. I left. After muttering a few choice expletives.

TJ - I hear the Ba da bup bup ba - I'm loving it! thing. All day long from our four year old too, and it drives my husband up the wall!
Wha...? Chicken biscuits?! Us midwesterners are so missing out.

jess - 2004-03-23 11:25:05
you people and you're funky mcdonalds!!! crazy southern states and their chicken biscuits and taquitos. madness.

elayne - 2004-03-23 11:25:32
I want chicken biscuits... *pout* I'm in the Southwest and we ain't got 'em.
I actually shouted, out loud, "GO UNCLE BOB!" when you got to the part about getting your own OJ. You rock.
-------------------------------
Saladwhore - 2004-03-23 12:01:10
Chicken biscuits? TACQUITOS?! Well at least I'm not as confused as the poor Canadian who thinks a biscuit is a cookie . . . Illinois has sausage biscuits, but no one up here eats chicken for breakfast! Weird! I sure like those McGriddles though.
-------------------------------
April Ann - 2004-03-23 12:30:18
YES! I love it! Terrific! I have to do something like this someday!

Eibisch - 2004-03-23 12:52:14
Damn southern elitist breakfast snobs with your precious chicken biscuits! Well, we (I live in Iowa) have bratwurst at our McD's. Do you? Huh? Huh? Probably. Because, God knows, Iowa can do nothing until the rest of the country has been doing it for 5 years.
-------------------------------
Dea - 2004-03-23 13:09:56
okay, yes, it should never ever have taken that long to get your order ready. I worked at mcdonald's for two years and that never happened to me - I would definitely complain to head office. but...omg, that was totally psycho going behind the counter! the behind the counter space is sacred. and besides, the OJ wasn't even worth it. they go weeks without cleaning the OJ machine. FYI.

Go there and you can make complaints straight to corporate. I think they need to be made aware of that particular store.

Bravo UB. I would have started clapping all slow and stuff and make everyone else join in like they do in the movies. And then you would have bowed and felt all special :) Maybe not. They still might have regarded you as the orange juice physco, which, coming from a consumer, yeah the orange juice isnt worth it. At least the McDonald's in NYS aren't. I personally dont really like Mickey D's only 'cause I believe they feel the need to change with the times (hence the new motto or whatever on their commercials). What a crock of shit.
-------------------------------
ScoopBrady - 2004-03-23 16:02:10
Still don't know what a "chicken biscuit" is. Obviously we don't have those in the Northeast. But the "self-serve OJ" story is beautiful. Just beautiful. The victim of the fast-food establishments in each of us can stand just a bit taller today. Way to go, UB!

Oh how I miss the American McDonalds! I currently reside in Australia and the first time I asked for sausage egg biscuit meal I was given the funkest looks... you know the look of stupid blonde american, go back to your own f'ing country. Anywho, I'd have been applauding your actions, heck I'd have wanted to walk in the kitchen and tell them slow fuckers to move over. Well done!

Allison - 2004-03-23 18:20:44
You wacky Americans and your soft, non-sweet biscuit-ness!

Megan - 2004-03-23 19:22:44
I probably would have asked for my money back when your wife came back out. That is rediculous!! And hey, stop knocking on the south. Is arkansas south enough for you? I've never heard of a chicken buscuit, or a tacquito.
-------------------------------
Rachael - 2004-03-23 19:58:18
My mom does that all the time.

erin - 2004-03-23 21:39:16
chicken...for breakfast??
good call on getting your own orange juice. had i been there, i would have greeted you with a round of applause, because that's something i'd be apt to do. the last time i went to a mcdonalds, they were out of french fries and apple pies, so i haven't been back since.
-------------------------------
Jeremy - 2004-03-23 23:30:29
McDees doesn't have chicken biscuits in Indiana where I live, but there's a free-standing Chik-Fil-A right down the street that does. They are OH-SO-GOOD!
-------------------------------
Kay R - 2004-03-23 23:41:40
Well Megan geographically we are nearly as down south as it gets. If Louisianna was not under us we would be. :)
But seriously I have heard of taquitos, just not at McDonalds. You can buy them at Wal-mart but Chicken Biscuits? Nah, but they sound good to me!
-------------------------------
Lindsay - 2004-03-24 00:32:07
Hey UB! I used to work at McDonalds when I was 16 and our boss was always pushing us to get orders taken, made, and out the door/window within 1-2 minutes. No wonder you were freaking out!!! I would file a complaint to head office as people have mentioned already. 45 minute is absurd!
I hope the food tasted good after all of that.
-------------------------------
Cara - 2004-03-24 07:01:43
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's bizarre to have a chicken sandwich for breakfast. And McD's has taquitos ? No fair, we don't have anything good on the east coast.
-------------------------------
Kelly in HSV - 2004-03-24 08:41:46
Eibeich, let me first say I am so jealous that you have bratwurst at your McD's! My stepkids live in Iowa and the next time I am there I'll have to get one! I live in North Alabama and don't frequent McD's for breakfast but the times I have been there I've not seen chicken biscuits on the menu! And as far as taquitos....not here. The only fast food place I have ever seen taquitos is Jack in the Box! AND...my final thought...if Andrew was my kid he might have run to his room and slammed his door but he most certainly would not have the CD in his hands when he did it and he would have been running in there with a sore tushie.

that is hilarious. *clapclapclap* way to go. over spring break i promised myself i'd do homework, read a book, and keep caught up with uncle bob. it's wednesday and so far all i've done is the latter.

Jasmine - 2004-03-24 13:58:14
I too live in the Midwest (Minnesota) so the chicken biscuit thing is a mystery to me. We have the sausage biscuit though - with egg and cheese, it's heaven. We have breakfast burritos too, but tacquitos I've only seen at the grocery store. Oh, and I read that Fast Food Nation book hoping it would make me steer clear of the fattening fast foods, but sadly it didn't work. It was sad and disgusting to read about the ways they treat employees and the whole slaughterhouse process, but I still can't give up that awesome McD's breakfast. Or Taco Bell for that matter. But UB you rock - I put off doing a lot of work because I'd rather read your stuff. :)

Liz - 2004-03-24 15:25:28
My first word was McDonalds. Try living that one down.

alley - 2004-03-26 05:03:51
What I don't understand is how McD can have such crappy lunch/dinner food while also having some of the best breakfast items around.
