Ever since McDonald's announced on their FB page on their new Condiments policy few days ago, i have been reading tweets and Facebook posts on how people are going to boycott McDonald's until they change the policy. Honestly in my mind, i was thinking "You think they really care?" Just look at crowd at McDonald's! Anyway, here's what they posted:
As for now, there's about 625 likes on this post. I will go into the comments people leave on the post later, which i thought was quite funny thus triggering me to do this post! So in order to reduce wastage, McDonald's is introducing this 30cents for additional curry sauce. (Before i go on, i would just like to say i'm not a fan of the curry sauce and i do not represent anyone. Whatever written in this post is just my opinion.) IF McDonald's charging 30cents for each curry sauce they are giving out (obviously earning more), then that's something to angry about but wait, take a look at this:
This is the new condiment policy that McDonald's is adopting.
To me, i thought it was rather reasonable. I mean, how many curry sauce do you need for your nuggets?! Let's take an example. I order a 6pc nugget and i get 1 FREE curry sauce. BUT i feel that it's not enough, so according to the table above, i can ask for another one. So i have two. For those who are complaining, you are telling me YOU NEED MORE THAN 2 PACKETS OF CURRY SAUCE FOR YOUR 6PCs OF NUGGET?! That's a packet to 2 nuggets. Seriously?
I thought the table was rather idiot-proof and easy to understand for everyone but guess i was wrong:
I thought the table was rather idiot-proof and easy to understand for everyone but guess i was wrong:
WHICH PART OF THE TABLE SAYS THAT YOU ARE GETTING ONLY 1 FREE SAUCE FOR 20 PIECES OF NUGGETS?!
For goodness sake, READ THE TABLE PROPERLY. Rephrase also rephrase wrongly. You will be getting 4 FREE curry sauce, and if you open your golden mouth and nicely ask, you can get 1 more. So a total of 5. Oh my tian. Some people just want to watch the world burn, LOL Yea, fast food are unhealthy so stop eating lor. Just drink curry sauce will do. HAHA
I forgot to print screen another comment. But it's something like this:
"OMG. I ALWAYS ASK FOR CURRY SAUCE WHEN I ORDER MY FILLET O FISH EVM!
YOU MEAN NOW I HAVE TO PAY 30 CENTS FOR IT?! WHAT BULL SHIT! I'M SO
GONNA BOYCOTT MCDONALD'S FROM NOW ON."

Phew, this world has hope.
Let me emphasize again, you can still ask for a FREE curry sauce when you order an extra value meal. Just open your golden mouth and nicely. I mean, is it so difficult to understand the table above? and it's not like they are not giving out free curry sauce anymore. People WHO can (i use the word 'can') feel injustice are perhaps those who order Ala carte.
Like for example you always order a Medium fries or just a burger and like to have curry sauce to go with it. It used to be free but because of this policy, now you have no choice but to pay 30 cents for the sauce. That i understand.
What i'm frustrated about, no wait. I should use the word - amused. What i'm amused about is people don't read things properly before making judgement. Apparently that's the case if you read the McDonald's FB post on the policy. Out of 600 over comments, maybe about 80 is about them boycotting Mcd because they don't get curry sauce when they order a EVM -_- Maybe another 60 who "rephase" the table wrongly -_- x2. Hundreds complaining the sauce cost too much at 30 cents each -_- x3. Glad there are still people can understand the situation and appreciate the free sauce.
This is something McDonald's got to make sure on the other hand though:
That's all i have to say about this issue. Some of you might say because i'm not a fan of curry sauce thus i won't understand how they feel blah blah blah. Whatever, just appreciate there's still curry sauce available. Remember the time when curry sauce was not available in SG and everyone start this whole saga of boycotting McDonald's? Now it's back and see what happens? Enjoy your curry sauce. Plus, didn't anyone tell you nothing is free in this world anyway?
:D
