Sounds like another Gay Pride event.

Ever try to "Have it your way" at any McDonalds? Their eyes glazed over, all production stops, panic ensues.

Back in the day, all were told you cannot make changes to the product because of trademarks, this was the actual corporate policy. As the years went by so did that policy and since all the food is now pre cooked and held as separate components you can pretty well get anything you want, if you pay for it. As for me, after 22+ years with McD I don't care for the taste since they stopped cooking, assembling and selling right off the grill and that goes for BK, J in Box, Carls, et al. If I want a good tasty burger I go to a small mom and pop or In N Out as long as I get to eat it right away.

McDonald’s has been losing a lot of market share for a simple reason: they are ignoring what their customers want, and paying attention to critics who don’t even eat at McDonald’s.

Bad mistakes:

1) Smaller burgers so fewer calories.
2) “Healthier” menus that nobody wants.
3) Salads. Seriously. Nobody eats salad at McDonald’s.

Fixes:

Make the Big Mac a Whataburger-sized burger, but twice as high, with a giant tray of regular french fries and a big milkshake. It doesn’t matter if it is $10, that’s what the public wants.

“My opinion is that the media is the main
supporter of healthy eating. We’re certainly
not hearing it from our customers”
— Andrew Puzder, CEO of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.

I loved the Mc Portabella Mushroom & Swiss, but they discontinued it.

Now Jack has it, with buttery buns, hope they don't discontinue it like Mac did.

Best burger here is at our local Ice House, made to order, 1/3 Lb.
