This has been eating at me for months.
I drink iced tea in the morning instead of coffee. Like most people, I would like to just drive through some place
and get my morning jolt on the quick.
McDonald's would seem like th perfect place, but actually getting a decent iced tea there is about a 1-in-3 proposition.
Today I actually just threw my tea away.
McDonald's clearly brews the tea in the same makers as the coffee, but only rarely washes out the makers between brews.
The result: Tea that tastes like burnt coffee.
I could stop at Starbucks, and have, but a "Venti" is the largest cup they have, and once you allow for ice, you're really looking at
a Quattro.
I contacted McDonald's about this recently, and after being read a prepared statement was dismissed. I was later mailed a coupon for...(wait for it)
a free cup of coffee!
Yeah, I could go someplace else, but it's not as easy. I have to look at these stupid arches everywhere, I am willing to pay $2.00 for $.25 worth
of material content, why can't I just get what want?
Argh!
Note: As any iced tea lover knows, Burger Kings serves intolerable "fountain tea" that tastes, more or less, like a Baggie.
I feel better now.
