I'm calling you on one lie - those are 3W resistors, as you full well know :-)

Hardly the world's greatest fib, but they all start somewhere...

Actually, rereading it, you didn't actually state that they're 5W, only that we asked for 5W. So, lie count back to 0 :-)

I never said what they were! I just said it's what you get if you miss out a point... I didn't point out that he said "we don't do 5W, do you want 3W or 7W", so that's non-disclosure... :-P Thank fook we didn't get 7W ones...

Ah crap... beat me to it with your retraction!

Apart from the Mayo, it is perfectly possible to make the burger in accordance with the advert.

Having worked in such places in the past, I think your comments about them are a little unfair. Clearly, you have a problem with a particular member of staff. Taking the piss about it him behind his back is a bit off. Perhaps, if you find it to be such a big problem, you should use the proper complaints procedure.

I wouldn't say I have a problem with a particular member of staff at all!

He didn't put shitty coloured lights in the bogs. He probably didn't decide that they should wrap most things up, use paper bags for fries, or put sauces in sachets... he's just inempt at serving customers.

Last night in a completly differernt BK, I ordered a large meal and got medium fries with it.

I did once get a large coke in a medium cup in McDonald's before though... to sway the balance. That was messy.

I'm gussing your method involves the building of the thing on the two halves and then combining them at the last minute?

So, why didn't I go to McD's last night? The one we wanted to go to was shut, and the one that was open was further up the hill. Oh, and the people with me wanted to see if we could find fault.

Whoppers are built in two halves in the box then thrown together at the last minute. I work for BK (one of the nice ones).

However, my toilets are closed so I had to go to the toilet in another BK just down the road. The toilet cubicles were locked - I had to ask at the counter for a key. I was let in, but the toilet had those crappy blue lights, and you couldn't lock it from the inside. I had to dump in the dark with my feet pressed against the door.

How fun! If I was a customer, I'd whinge about those. But I'm not. So I ripped some tiles off the wall instead.

And as for medium fries for a large meal: take them back with your reciept.

Here's a tip: If you want to get what you want: Make noise. Cause a scene. They'll do anything to shut you up then.

And as for the recipe, it's:

Get a bun. Toast it and throw it in the box.

Get a crappy, dried-out malformed Whopper patty and throw it on the bottom bun.

Put bottom bun and patty in microwave.

Splatter hour-old, congealed mayonnaise on the top bun.

Throw a handful of lettuce on.

Put two slices of tomato on lettuce.

Get patty and bun out of microwave.

Arrange 4 pickle slices in a pretty pattern on Whopper patty.

Make a nice pattern with the ketchup on the pickles.

Throw some raw onion on there.

Snap the box shut, throwing it all together.
