Slow Service at a Fast Food Outlet

Once upon a time going to McDonalds meant receiving food that was not always delicious nor good for you but you knew that your order would always come quickly. However, McDonalds in Taiwan have changed that. They have some of the slowest service of any "fast food" stores anywhere.

On Monday morning, Craig and his parents went for a morning walk. They finished up at McDonalds just because it had a place to sit. Unfortunately, it was bit smelly inside. We couldn't really tell what the smell was exactly. It could have been a mixture of disinfectant and children's sweat but whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant. Luckily, there were seats outdoors.

Craig's Mum cleaned up the store high chair for her boy.


Then she drank her Sprite while Craig enjoyed the sun.


Soon Craig was bored. So, his Dad cleaned up the coffee creamer sachet/thingy and let Craig chew on that.


He enjoyed that quite a lot.


But, Craig's Mum received a phone call from Auntie Bess! They talked for half an hour!! It was during this period that Craig's Dad went back upstairs to get a refill of his coffee. After waiting 10 minutes and watching three McDonalds get a total of zero customers served, he gave up and went back downstairs! Such is "fast food" service in Taiwan!!
