    Excellent advice.
    I'd say that anywhere you can't see them cooking, mixing -- whatever they do -- you're asking for trouble.

  3. MCD should let sbux or second cup, tim hortins etc.. place the coffe bar in their store.

    I once had a starbucks in my bank, but it didnt last. lol

  5. Another possibility is, customers could be asking for sbux type coffee. "What types of coffee do you serve?" The days of reg or decaf only are history.

  6. I think you are referring to the Big Mac but the beauty of the McFunction is that it can be whatever you want! If it starts with Mc you'll end with Fat. Easy as that.

    I used to love Tim's coffee, but alas, the quality is not uniform. At work, we have 2 Tim's that serve awful coffee. Most of us crave Starbucks as the quality is hands down better.

    However, I have found a cafe/bakery that serves up 2 coffees, plus fresh pastry for $4.00...but its not that convenient to get to.

    I don't think the quality of coffee at McD's is as good as Starbucks, but I'm glad they are giving them a run for their money.

    as of several days ago, the ads are still running here on east coast--- must be stuck on rotation.
