In the past when I did attribution modeling they created faux ads to run as the control group. Some publishers also run place holder ads to set benchmarking on their platform and Im quite sure they use the shittiest setup possible to set those.

The secret to the mcmuffin is they're soaked in margarine. It's ridiculous how much is on there. Anytime you're wondering why your food at home doesn't taste like the restaurant version, it's because they use an ungodly amount of salt and butter/fat. Serious go look up how much butter is in roubochon's michelin star winning potatoes.

I also meant the microwave thing literally. McDonald's' ads are pure potemkin, made to defeat the visceral disgust you feel about getting hours-old food that was just reheated in the microwave. In the 80s there was this wild shift away from "you can get your burger the fastest here because it's already ready for you" to "that's gross, make it fresh but still fast" and they never ever have caught up with the bus since it drove away back then. edit: They WANT you to think the food is made fresh, but it isn't, especially breakfast items. Having made like a hundred of them every morning at one point, the sausage burritos are all made before open or at like 4 am if you work at a 24h McDonald's like I did. Then they're frozen for when the customer orders, at which point they're thawed and heated. Yes technically it's still fresh because it goes right into the freezer but come on man that's not appetizing at all and Mickey D's clearly knows that.

Lol Let's just say your McDonald's experience that you care very much about is different than mine And that you don't know how they work especially during breakfast rush where they can barely keep up and crack fresh eggs for McMuffins

McDonald's feels to me like a company that's been sliding for a very long time on nostalgia and seeming legendary in the eyes of young kids. But they can't sell cheap prepackaged crap to just young kids; that doesn't turn a profit. So for the past decade/decade and a half they've been trying to appeal to wider demographics with 'fellow kids'-level stuff that feels (at least to me) really desperate and lame. To their credit, though, I've heard that their coffee drinks, which are probably loaded with sugar and fat, are actually fairly decent for fast food.

The Bloop posted:Lol Well to be fair, I haven't worked at a mcdonalds in 15 years and I lived in a pretty small town. I imagine in bigger places they do run out and have to start making them fresh since there were always like a thousand orders even in a small town, but I never had that problem. edit: Ok here I'll just describe it because I had to do it like three times a week, maybe this isn't the typical McDonald's experience. At ~3am the process was to start taking stuff down and cleaning it which sucked because people would still come get food and you'd say "cash only" and they'd say "but i only have a card" and dude I'm sorry but that is not my issue please leave. After that, or while that was being done, we would get out the ingredients to make stuff that takes forever to make like the breakfast burritos and make them in big long rows, and then freeze them. At this point it's probably closer to 5 which is when people would start coming in for the breakfast food, and at mine we never ran out of the stuff we made early but again small town. To give you an idea of how small, I was often there by myself on these occasions while the manager went to the bank to get the change for the day and put it in the safe, or he'd send me to do it.

Honestly I think McDonald's has had a big turnaround in the last couple years, since they started that big push towards fresh beef for their quarter pounders. Granted, that pushed them into solidly-bottom-tier rather than sub-bottom-tier, but the progress is pretty noticeable.

Y'know thinking back on it, since I was in school I only worked nights or mornings on the weekend. So maybe my experience really wasn't typical of a real McDonald's morning rush. The good news is, I have no desire to ever find out what that's like, so I'm glad I missed the boat if so!Assistant Manager Devil posted:Honestly I think McDonald's has had a big turnaround in the last couple years, since they started that big push towards fresh beef for their quarter pounders.

Has Maccas in the states not made the switch to having the ingredients each in there own temperature controlled drawer and assembling each item when it is ordered? It was a decent jump in quality here (Australia) compared to the old way of having assembled burgers wrapped and sitting in a warmer.

A sausage egg biscuit is a guilty pleasure on an occasional long commute I do for work. I know it’s a sodium overload, but I only have it every so often. I’m surprised I pay almost $5 for the privilege, but here we are.

This is how most fast food joints do it these days, McDonald's does during the day I'm sure. I encourage you folks to get a job at A&W if you love the taste of root beer and want to utterly remove that facet of your personality to the point where you despise it by forcing yourself to smell it for 10 hours a day

Sometimes at wendys or bk but mcdonalds i stick to chicken or filet-o-fish. All the breakfast is good though (even if I would never eat cheese on a mcgriddle)

It was a decent jump in quality here (Australia) compared to the old way of having assembled burgers wrapped and sitting in a warmer. That was how it was done in 2006 when i worked there during high school Edit: there was a computer generated chart that told you how many trays of each type of food should be made at a time. So like during 1pm and 2pm you were supposed to always have two trays of 16 10:1 patties fir example. Each tray also had a timer that indicated when it was time to throw it away. Whether the charts and timers got listened to or reset depended on who the manager was and who the backline crew was Len has a new favorite as of 04:58 on Jan 18, 2021 |

The best was the chicken select strip. The minimum order was three pieces and the chart would tell you to only make two. And that math doesn’t work because if someone is already going to wait almost 8 minutes just make the whole thing to order.

Memento posted:For those who didn't look it up, he uses a 2:1 potato:butter ratio. Like yeah, no poo poo it tastes good, it's basically starchy butter puree. So I looked it up. Those potatoes are ~500 calories per cup. That's over double what a cup of chocolate milk (~200) has. 1 cup of Coca-Cola has ~140 calories. A cup of lard has ~750 calories. Those potatoes are about on par with eating a cup of pure cheddar cheese (~430 calories).

Given how poo poo the development of Yandere Sim is going it stands to reason the clones and imitators will be finished first, and surpass the inspiration. See also the people still giving Chris Roberts money to fund a busted boring-space sim Star Citizen, when the polished boring space-sim Elite Dangerous has everything the former game advertised and released years ago.

Captain Monkey posted:So I looked it up. Uhh, butter is 1627 calories per cup, which means the 1/3 of a cup that's butter is 542~ calories by itself. Lard is 1845 calories per cup. A cup of 2:1 potatoes:butter is over 600 calories. I got all these from nutritionix, which seems to have the US format of nutrition facts.

This is why sane countries measure their nutrition info by weight instead of by volume One cup of solid raw potatoes is going to produce a lot more than one cup of puree'd, whisked, fluffy potatoes, with lots of air incorporated into them by the whisking process

Granted, that pushed them into solidly-bottom-tier rather than sub-bottom-tier, but the progress is pretty noticeable. They did. The double quarter-pounder with cheese is now a $7 burger. It's also a good burger for the price, I've had a couple this past year. I've had better $15 burgers, but for the price point you get exactly what you paid for, and it's actually good. Aussie goods should see if there's a Popeye's in their area, they're better than KFC ever was.
