What is going at at McDonald's? Are they the new post office?

What is the point of the News Sentinel article? It is difficult to tell who they are attempting to skewer.

Perhaps the high-calorie, cheese and sugar infused foodstuffs (teeny salads notwithstanding) somehow prompt assaults.

Back Yard Burgers has excellent drive-thru service as well. Typically your fewer-location franchises have better overall service and quality as their employee base is less spread out among 25 locations and scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I once asked for a plain burger and they gave me just a bun.

Children who refuse to play nice can sit alone at the table until they apologize and work out a compromise or they get sent outside until they can act decent enough to come back inside.  Incliment weather preferred.

that more incidents like this have not taken place at fast-food restaurants all over Knoxville. And mind you I used to work in one for years and worked my way up to a supervisory position, but I have to say that service levels at most all Knoxville fast-food places are sub-par. The workers are slow, rude, and incompetent. When I go through a drive-thru it should be patently obvious that I do not have a fork if I order a salad, and that a napkin is usually a nice addition to the bag for the customer's convenience, and if fries are ordered salt and ketchup should be a given inclusion, also straws are a must with drink orders and things such as that. And just because someone orders something special or asks for additions or subtractions doesn't mean you get to huff and puff and be rude, sometimes people have a reason for such requests...such as...they might be allergic to an ingredient, or they might just not like it...if you were the customer wouldn't you want your food the way YOU like it? Whatever happened to the customer is always right??? Service industry jobs are good honest work, but if people are treated rudely and get lousy service then why would we spend our hard earned money with your company?

Sorry, just my little rant...I rarely go to fast-food restaurants anymore because i hate to deal with rude personnel and substandard food not to mention that hardly any fast-food restaurants offer vegetarian fare that is decent.

Another funny thing about this whole incident is how even Herb realized how bad it looked that he was so desperate for a "McNasty" burger - trying to cover it up saying he was buying it for his son. Yeah, right. He was planning to wolf that thing down like nobody's business, as soon as he left the parking lot.

more Secret Sauce of Conspiracy for the encroaching One World Goverment!!

where's the beef beat?

How many departments does it take to grab the extra pickel? With a cop on one side of a suspect and a deputy on the other, which chief gets the pension?

Here we have a criminal pursuit with a suspect fleeing the scene, a potential drunk driver as well... so KPD is similtaneously alerted to this dangerous situation to take action as well? What does their status report look like? Can we view the duplicate paperwork @ $25 dollars a copy?

What if this had been an actual robbery with shootings or whatever, with the perpetrator on the loose striking at multiple locations? So they have protocols. It still comes down to some margin of inefficiency in response and effectiveness in law enforcement when situations become compounded within jurisdiction. We settle for less, but pay more.

Ya know, if we set out just one allotment from ONE BUDGET for operating expenses, salary, and pensions to all the top brass and duplicate staff personel, and told them to split it or work it out, I wonder how quick they'd come to the table to find a solution to this insanity.

somebody call 911.

Herb Moncier or Shurf Tim?  Please - no two bigger egos exist in Knox County.

A pox on both their houses.
