Topic: Sausage & egg McBacon

[touchingcloth]

In a McDonald’s this morning a sweating, anchor-tattooed Brexit in human form approached the automatic ordering machine, and seemed flummoxed when presented with the initial English or Portuguese language selection, probably because it displayed a Union flag rather than George’s Cross.

He approached the counter and barked his order - SAUSAGE AND EGG MCBACON - and the person serving just pointed him back to the machine.

CAN’T I DO IT HERE, SAUSAGE AND EGG MCBACON.

NO I’LL JUST ORDER IT HERE. SAUSAGE AND EGG MCBACON.

The server guided him back round to the machine, stuck it in English and asked him if he wanted the sausage and egg or the bacon and egg McMuffin.

YES. SAUSAGE AND EGG MCBACON. LIKE I SAID, IS IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND SAUSAGE AND EGG MCBACON.

He sadly received no bacon, no sausage and no egg as regrettably I murdered him.

Disgusting treatment, customer is always right about McBacon.

[Better Midlands]

They could have just got him a McBacon.
This country.

They're usually pretty good at understanding neanderthal, I once ordered a 'chocolate big mac' and got the big mac meal with chocolate shake I was after.

Although I don't have any sympathy with the attitude he seemed to display (he seems to think McEmployees probably at minimum wage are beneath contempt) I am with him on those damnable ordering points. They seem to be unable to recognise my existence as a jab away fruitlessly at the screen. They also seem to confuse the very elderly and the hard of thinking who spend ages umming and ahhing over their order then have to start again because they got it wrong. I know phasing out the human element in McDonalds, supermarkets petrol stations and the like counts as 'progress' but the machines are taking over and furthermore they simply don't listen when you scream SAUSAGE AND EGG MCBACON at 'em.

Fuck 'em I say.     

[The Mollusk]

They should be paying him to eat that shit.

A sausage and an egg between 2 slices of bacon?

(AKA 'The McCholesterol') 

[touchingcloth]

Egg in a fucking pig in a fucking blanket.

[Butchers Blind]

Who'd have thought all those years ago we'd still be eating McDonald's in 2020. Crazy world.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Why was the machine displaying an option for either English or Portuguese? Are you in the Algarve?

[JamesTC]

I remember hearing a story about a guy who couldn't read menus and ordered a Big Mac Chicken Legend Sundae.

[touchingcloth]

Yes, I don’t think they give the option up north, even in Lisbon.

I think it’s fair enough that things like ATMs have got language options as they’re purely text-based, but the mind boggles at the kind of waste of flesh who can’t navigate a near entirely image-based menu system where a picture of a Big Mac is displayed in case you’re not familiar with the Portuguese name of “Big Mac”.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

What's Portuguese for Sausage & Egg McBacon then? Actually, what the fuck is a McBacon? Isn't it McMuffin?

Edit: Ah, I see you already addressed the McBacon/McMuffin quandary in your original post. Apologies.

[Cuntbeaks]

Brexit McGammon.

[DrGreggles]

Can't remember the last time I had a McDonald's.
It would have been in the McRib days, I know that much.

[bgmnts]

My theory that all meat eaters are cunts continues to be accurate.

Sausage muffins don’t seem to be a thing here, but here’s the Portuguese equivalent of the Bacon & Egg McMuffin on mcdonalds.pt: https://www.mcdonalds.pt/produtos/pequeno-almoco/americano/bacon-egg-mcmuffin#

And yes, the issue was that he made up a new menu item and kept on barking it expecting the server to understand what he wanted through his thick Essex accent.

Barking at minimum wage staff seems to be a favourite hobby of people in the Algarve. People in customer-facing jobs nearly all speak impeccable English so you don’t have to talk loudly and slowly, but if you bellow things which don’t exist or aren’t common names for things then people might look at you blankly, through no fault of theirs. I watched some old twat shouting in a Yorkshire accent for “COKE LIGHT”, when coke tends to be called “cola” (or by a specific brand name), and “light” isn’t a fucking thing anyway.

Bet he calls actual bacon McBacon and milkshakes McShakes. And all beer Stella.

Once in a pub in Kent I saw a man named Nigel - a regular judging by the woman at the bar fetching his own dimpled glass from the rafters - announce “Stella Artois, please, Susan”, except he said “Artois” to rhyme with “tortoise”.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I get the feeling that Nige knows full well the correct pronunciation of Artois, but he says it wrong to be be zany and entertaining. What a lege.

[idunnosomename]

But I don't know what to do with those Mc Tossed Salads and Mc Scrambled Eggs

Bet it was deliberate with the barmaid finding it 'hilarious' every single time.

Reminds me of Brian Clough who used to say 'Joe-Han Cruff' for Johan Cruyff. Even when corrected he would simply plough on the same way regardless.
