wtf mcdondalds? wtf?

so i finally decide to eat healthy cause im still feeling the effects of my last meal at five guys
i get to mcdonalds and as soon as i pull up the drive thru speaker starts to talk to me in a sultry voice "hey there, how a bout a steamy warm cup of latte, yeah i know it wrong but its just between me and you" swear it said that
then i try to order a healthy chicken sandwich but all the only choices they have is a chicken sandwich with bacon and ranch or chicken, pickels, and bread

mcdonalds has a big target on its back, the health police has it on its top most wanted list
they better shape up soon or else

2/17/2010 12:57:58 AM

you try way too hard. suspend lafta please.

2/17/2010 12:59:17 AM

pickels

2/17/2010 12:59:40 AM

screw you, this is a free country

What target? If someone goes to McDonald's and orders something, thinking it's healthy, then they're idiots. The only thing I recall McDonald's advertising as healthy, is their salads during the salad craze 5 or so years ago.

2/17/2010 1:01:20 AM

wrong, mcdonalds has been going on a supposed health revolution, trying to make their entire menu more healthy
obviously healthy shouldnt only have to mean salads,
why cant a brother have a chicken with more than just bread and pickles?

2/17/2010 1:03:10 AM

lafta makes too many threads about redbox

2/17/2010 1:10:38 AM

aha i saw pickels and read pixels

im all like "they got pixels at mcd's??"

2/17/2010 1:33:51 AM

McDonald's is photoshopped. I can tell tell by the pickles.

2/17/2010 1:37:07 AM

^^^^ Well, what more do you want that will still keep the sandwich "healthy?" Their grilled chicken sandwich has lettuce and tomato. Anyway, if you have any complaints.

I realize this thread is about those who are trying to eat healthy at McDonalds.... which I have not. Hear me out, maybe I can offer some insight.

I am in outside sales, which is currently salary+commission, but will move into straight commission starting at the beginning of July 2010. I have been in this position since July 2009. I have competition from several direct manufacturing sales reps, large distributors, and local distributors. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each:

Direct Advantages: Immediate knowledge of new technology, no middle man mark up, one shipping bill (paid by manufacturer or buyer of goods), access to larger range of non-commodity items, control inventory, have access to many distributors that can effectively sell their goods which increases market share, and set prices of commodity they manufacture.

Direct disadvantages: Typically have 1-3 sales reps per region (i.e. southeast, mid-atlantic, northeast, etc.) limiting the number of accounts they can successfully manage/cold-call, lack physical customer service or physical technical service available to or affordable for smaller users or altogether, are sometimes not trustworthy because they will go in behind their distributors that sell their commodity to one account in large quantities (i.e. they missed a big account, and have found out about it through a distributor selling their particular product) which leads to the distributor not selling their product anymore, have too many distributors selling the product ultimately driving the set price down through deviations, possibly rely on distributors to actually sell the product, and competition from other direct sources.

Large distributor advantages: have access to other commodities that go hand in hand with other manufacturers (poor example- grocery stores sell milk as well as cereal), get direct pricing, many locations regionally or nationally easing the shipping burden of buyers with multiple locations, personal service either customer or technical, many sales reps that are able to cover a broader territory, access to multiple manufacturers of the same commodity allowing to keep prices in check, service programs that smaller companies can't offer and direct providers can't match in price or value, and experts of many many commodities as opposed to one or a few.

Large distributor disadvantages: smaller local distributors creating price wars (think Michael Scott Paper Co vs Dunder-Mifflin), direct mfg's going in behind and stealing business, limited access to all of the mfg's (you won't find Harris Teeter name brands in Food Lion and visa versa), can't truly set prices because it's based on both supply and demand, territory management, and tough growth prospects in slower economies (this is true for direct as well really)

Local distributor advantages: Typically a good ol' boy setting where the seller and the buyer know each other for years (this does happen at all levels, but mostly at the local level), local folks are right down the street and can be used in emergencies, if the local guy buys at high enough volumes then there is no shipping charge to the end user, and access to both direct mfg's and large distributors.

Local distributor disadvantages: easily beaten in price, array of commodities, array of technology, lack of trained staff, low cash flow, etc etc etc.

This is what I have noticed in my six months, I am sure there are plenty more that need mentioning. The way I am setting myself apart as a sales person is this: I go after the big accounts right now while I am new. The big accounts, if I land them, will take care of me while I am new and building a customer base. The money made off of those allows me to focus free time on smaller accounts that get me higher margins. I build up big accounts, I would like to have 5-10 of these, then get 20-30 medium accounts. If I lose 1 or 2 big accounts, the 20-30 medium accounts keep me afloat while I go after new big accounts. I don't really waste time on small accounts simply because they basically pay for breakfast or something really small.

I will say this, if you can't get a big account in the first 6-8 months (assuming you have cash flow that you can ride this long) you could be in a world of trouble. If you can get one, it will really make going after the others a lot more enjoyable and less stressful. It's simply just very exhausting wasting any time on anything other than big accounts in the very beginning. You work just as hard on the medium sized accounts and see 1/3 to 1/36 of the money in my situation.

If you have any other questions, you can PM me. I hope this helps in the slightest!

do they grill the chicken with added grease, or without? if with, what oil/fat do they use?

also, it comes in a white bread bun, and that's not healthy.

so, in conclusion:

tomato - healthy
lettuce - not unhealthy, but not that healthy either
chicken - healthy
added fat - UNKNOWN
bread - UNHEALTHY

so, throw the bread away, wipe/rinse the chicken, and eat it with the tomato and lettuce.

the funny thing is that if you had that latte wtih skim milk and without the whipped cream and chocolate it actually would be just fine

but there are no really healthy options, maybe a southwest chicken salad with no dressing or grilled chicken snack wrap with no dressing are the best options. they will still have a ton of sodium though.

2/17/2010 11:03:09 AM

you have got to be kidding. why is this a thread?
