McDonald's - I wish I didn't have to

Yesterday Greggs, today McDonald's, I've hit rock bottom.

McDonald's is another one that I probably didn't need to put on my list to try and wish I hadn't.

Mrs Spiller was out with a friend last night and I knew after a few glasses of wine, a luxury she doesn't get to enjoy much these days, she would appreciate a McDonald's breakfast. So after a bit of a lie-in, we wrapped baby Spiller up and headed to McDonald's.

We got there just before the breakfast menu finished. Our order, 3 x hash browns, 1 cappuccino, 1 hot chocolate, 1 OJ, 1 bacan and egg bagel and 1 sausage and egg bagel.

The food was suitably greasy, and tasted as you'd expect. Baby Spiller enjoyed his first McDonald's experience, and probably his last for a number of years.

Service was very efficient, there was a very long line but they got through it quickly.

The coffee, like Greggs came from a push button machine, the result was a very milky, weak coffee, more akin to a white americano than a cappuccino. There was nothing offensive about the coffee it was just not very good.

It's interesting who you see at McDonald's on a Sunday morning for breakfast. A few hungover people, a few people on their way home after a late night, tradesmen on their way to work and young families giving the kids a treat to keep them quiet!

An unfortunate incident unfolded next to our table shortly after we arrived. One of the tradesmen was bringing two breakfasts back to his mate, one of the breakfasts fell off the tray, eggs were strewn across the floor. I felt bad for him for a little while but then another lad, on his own, slipped on the eggs while carrying his breakfast and felt down awkwardly. It was quite a bad fall although he managed to not drop anything apart from his coffee. I now didn't feel sorry for the tradesman. The McDonald's manager was very good, he came over to check if the guy was ok and replaced his coffee. The tradesmen didn't seem to care.

Anyway, that's that.
