Come ON people. It's 2006!The McChronicles was aghast at the sight of a McDonald's straw dispenser (in China) that offered completely unprotected straws.
Standing beside the scene of the crime for only a brief moment allowed us to witness people pawing through several straws with their bare hands. We also witnessed the full array of pre-pawing atrocities performed with those hands (details of which we need not go into). Needless to say, The McChronicles passed on the straw and drank directly from the cup.
The bigger question is this. If this level of hygiene is accepted and promoted by the store's management, what else are they allowing behind the scenes??? Was our cup even a safe alternative?
Needless to say, in this day and age, with the knowledge we all possess, this is an abomination. Out of respect for your customers, and for your brand, we beseech you McDonald's. Do away with these archaic devices.

I hope you aren't too shoked when I tell you that non-wrapped straws are standard in Germany. Yes, it's a great experience when a three year old kiddie takes a dozen straws, sticks them in his mouth ... and his angry mother puts them right back to the dispenser
ReplyDeleteEeee Gads! That's EXACTLY the stuff we're fearing happens all day long.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all know better?
Yuk!
Thanks for the comment (we think).
