yeah.. the funny thing about great rock albums...
surprisingly few of them actually reinvent the wheel...they just take something and do it well, or sound fresh...i'm very happy this record won....it did both
for the record... i'm not the biggest fan of like a stone.. the second half of this record is what really makes it special...

The prices at McD's have gotten WAY out of control About the only thing I ever order there is either their regular Hamburgers or a Grilled Honey Mustard Snack Wrap.
The rest is either extremely fattening or too high, or both.
A premium chicken sandwich at McD's is OVER $5 bucks.
Yet most sit down restaurants have far better quality, with full entree of good, for only $2 dollars more.
not to turn myself into the "McDonald's Apologist" or anything, but the price of the materials has gone WAAAAY up.. it cost me an extra 15 grand in 2008 than it did for the exact same amount of "groceries" in 2007...
we're a "penny profit" business.. after all the bills are paid, we make less than 10 cents per burger.. the reason we even turn a profit is volume... the more customers we serve.. the more money we make... that's why we HAVE to be fast.... ain't no money in selling one

the problem is most of these places ( especially my employer) feel they need to "change things up"....
the reason mcdonald's was so successful was the simplicity of the operation..
cheeseburgers, hamburger, one size fry, soda and shakes....
everyone had that shit DOWN...people had limited options, and it was a finely tuned machine.
over the years certain things changed in the interest of "progress"..
the menu expanded... the "have it YOUR way" shit exploded... shit became very very very complicated...it fucked the whole process up... all of a sudden, we ain't no finely tuned machine no mo'....
about 3 or 4 years ago... mickey d's sales started to drop and things looked bad on the horizon and there was a CEO that took over and said "cut the shit"... he was a genius... he about cut the menu in half in order to simplify shit and limit options in order to streamline the operation... get us "back to our roots" so to speak.. things started going waaaaaay better.. then, sadly... he died suddenly a few months later...since then.. steady expansion of the menu...
they do a great job of simplifying new products so as not to interrupt the flow of things.. but there's just too much shit...
they're so fucking bent on putting the competition outta business, the restaurant operations are suffering... ice coffee, mccafe, angus third pounders.. 3 different premium chicken sammys with either grilled or crispy chicken... it's insane... they expect drive thru customers to be gone in a minute and a half, yet it takes 2 minutes to make an iced mocha... nevermind if there are 3 of them for 1 car with mcflurries and 6 sandwiches, 2 happy meals and fries without salt....
i digress... james, if the cheese was cold.. it wasn't properly tempered... that's a training issue that they need to correct... call em and tell em... we always welcome (polite) complaints.. if we aren't aware of a problem, we can't fix it... and if that don't work, you can always come down to MY store, and i'll take care of ya...on the house
that's why arby's is still awesome.. they probably haven't changed a god damn thing since 1972...
