In the not so distant past there existed a restaurant loved and frequented by millions throughout the world, perceived globally as a fun and acceptable place to take your children for a treat. Then, unfortunately, as it so often does, society had to come along and ruin it all. Children started enlarging to sizes far greater than nature intended, and, rather than blaming the individuals directly responsible for this consequence, the parents who allowed their kids to greedily devour meal after meal on a regular basis, society pointed her fingers at the innocent bystanders who offered fast food for those who so desired it, and suddenly, our nice, friendly restaurant chain become seen as a symbol of the degradation of modern society, a place which only the dregs of society would frequent. This place, this charming restaurant community, was Mcdonalds, a venue which I always looked forward to visiting when I was younger, during the rare moments my parents treated me with such a pleasure. They were enjoyable experiences, ones I remember fondly, and ones which did not result in myself becoming obese. Yet, sadly, because of the individuals who were greedy and stupid enough to gorge upon Mcdonalds meal after Mcdonalds meal, until they grew to the size of houses, and required their own post codes, I am no longer supposed to be able to see past the negative image of Mcdonalds, forced upon me by the media and wider society, who stigmatize it as a pariah.
Personally, I have never grown to the size of a small cottage in the South of Devon, never become stricken with diabetes, and never necessitated the formation of hundreds of weight loss clubs around the country. However, I have always enjoyed the food served at Mcdonalds, and always experienced good, fast service. The Mcdonalds on Western Road is no exception to this rule. I headed on in there, ordered my food, and found myself eating it within five minutes. My meal was tasty, the coke was refreshing, and I left feeling satisfied. What more could a person want? Whether or not excessive consumption of their products causes health problems, whether or not Mcdonalds as a global brand is no longer fashionable, and whether or not the company engages in unethical practices, the actual service they provide in the industry they are involved is very good, and, regardless of whether it is completely uncool to say it, Mcdonalds, this one included, excels at what it does. read more
