        Or just order without the shenanigans. Nobody cares, and if they ask (why would they), just say you’re picking up dinner for the family. I do that all the time wearing sweatpants or whatever (WFH), and I’ve never had someone ask. I’m not fat or anything, but fat people are in the same situation, so it really doesn’t matter.

        All they care is that you pay for your order.

    Why waste? Wouldn’t you just eat it while hangover? McD’s is great for hungover food.

      A lot of people hate leftovers, and I think the reason is because they don’t know how to store and reheat them properly. So the food dries out in the fridge from improper storage, or gets soggy/chewy in the microwave from improper heating. Or reheating foods in the microwave that should be reheated on the stove/in the oven/air fryer/etc. Or using the right equipment to reheat but using the wrong settings/time. I could go on and on…

      The point I’m making is that there’s no reason why leftovers can’t taste just as good as when they were fresh if you know what you’re doing.

        It is almost impossible for leftovers to taste just as good as when fresh though. You can get close but that’s it.

          There are a lot of foods that taste better and better with every time you reheat them. Especially a lot of stews: Grünkohl, Bigos, Lasagna, Chilli con Carne, Pörkölt, all kinds of Curry etc.

          Problem with reheating McDonald’s is, that it’s shit food to begin with. To get a decent menu out of McD leftovers you put them in the oven for 7 minutes, but make sure to replace them with a pizza 6 minutes before they’re done.

            Yeah mcdonalds fries need to be piping hot and fresh straight from the fryer. Reheating in the air-fryer even right after delivery changes the flavor (though you can get them back to ideal texture which is still a big improvement).

              McDonald’s fries just aren’t good anymore imho, period. There was a time when I would go just for the fries, even post beef tallow era. Not anymore.

    But… why? I’m sure nobody at the McDonald’s even noticed or cared about him, let alone who he was talking to, or pretending to talk to.

      When you’re this depressed and alone having other people think that you’ve got your shit together and aren’t more depressed than the imprint in your mattress can be a way of escapism for just a short amount of time.

    That’s what they wanted to do, and they did, not to mention they actually touched grass. Not half bad by my standards.
