Back in my younger days, I remember there was a time when Maccas have a sand timer that promises our order to be ready in 1 minute, otherwise it's free. There were some exceptions, and the staff told us ahead, but it was otherwise a fun experience, as we hope to get our meals for free as we watch the sand goes down.
These days, whenever I ask the staff if it can be ready in even 5 minutes, because I'm catching a bus or train, they always lazily say no.
Why fast food becomes so slow and expensive?
I blame the youth of today. Those rapscallions are probably too busy looking at tiktok to make my burger!
