tru sayz - me always ask for light or no ice anyways.

Considering soft drinks have the highest profit margin in restaurants this is pretty stupid -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 08:06 3
- sure, but when you basically offer something at a 50% discount, you miss your old profit margin. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:10 2
  - True, I get that, but the margin is still extremely high on those drinks -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 08:11 1
    - sure, but they are just greedy. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:11
It's been a while since I've seen a McD's where I don't get to dispense the drink -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:05 3
- I don't know if I've ever seen one where I got to pour my own drink -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 08:35 1
  - ... in Canada, at least. The one in the MGM in Vegas was self-serve. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 08:36

SEE?!?!?!?! -- nm - Will si Jun 2, 08:05 2
- I feel vindication. It already comes from a chilled machine. No ice is the way to go. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 08:12 1

Yeah, especially in the styrofoam cup I always ask for light ice. Plus, inside you make your own. BK has lines printed on the outside of the cup. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:05 5
- yeah, these instructions are probably more for the Drive thru window -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:05 4
  - I know, Spawn sheesh! It's the drive-up window, duh! -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 08:06 3
    - I am dumb. - Spawn Jun 2, 08:08 2
      - you know what I have been told helps with that? - tRuMaN Jun 2, 08:09 1
        
        Already tried that, but thanks. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 08:16
