    They make you say “and co” here instead of meal

    It's the product name so you have to go along with it.

    Not massively different to a cappucino or latte or flat white. In fact I was in one of these temples of ****ery recently where having ordered a coffee they asked my Mrs for her name, then proceeded a few minutes later to shout out that her coffee was ready using her name. She was stood there, waiting.

    Now that made me cross.

    'Filet-O-Fish', that's another. There's no such thing as a 'Filet' in this country and as as for the cringe-inducing awfulness of having to say 'O-Fish', I mean, ffs!

    Fishburger's perfectly good, isn't it? Or Fish Sandwich? One can quite proudly walk up to the young lady behind the counter and say 'Good day, my dear. I would like to eat your Fish Sandwich' and she'd know what you meant, wouldn't she? This 'Filet-O-Fish' nonsense is quite unnecessary.

    The last time I was in a McDonald's, I simply used the electronic ordering doodah, which spared me the embarrassment.

    I just ask for McSalt and a McStraw and a McBarbeque sauce and McMore Ice until they basically just ignore me

    Simply? In UI terms (UX for Jorge) it's aboot 15 keypresses just to order one Big Mac. And then when it eventually arrives it's cold because the ONE person actually delivering has to serve up 12 portions of CHIPS and pour the dozen pints of fizzy acid before she can pick up the shrivelling burger waiting patiently in the queue.

    I am not impressed with the new McD's system.

    Ewww, no. One wouldn't want to eat the fish sandwich of someone who has been working in a hot and busy McDonalds for hours while wearing tight-fitting polyester trousers. Not if you don't want to be brushing your teeth with Canesten for a week, anyway.

    Yes, but they want to tempt you with their goodies, a. And, as I say, it does mean one doesn't have to speak to people or use their silly product names.
