    So today I go into McDonald and get my usual lunch and the lady at the till told me that they can't give me fizzy drinks today. Is this some new rule now that they don't serve fizzy drinks on certain days?

    You'd probably get a better answer as well as a more accurate one if you had asked the person who told you this.

    It's probably a matter of their gas machine not working.

    She was just trolling you for the lols.

    Seriously. You think they have set out a certain day where they won't sell fizzy drinks?

    They also won't sell chicken nuggets between the witching hour either

    Maybe they're trying to be more health-conscious of what they sell to the customer.

    Crazy.

    They'll sell you a Big Mac with Cheese, Double Quarter Pounder Extra Large Fries probably with cheese too if you asked for it, Chicken Nuggets made out of pork and McMuffins for dessert and ice cream sthite.

    But not a chance of a Diet Coke in case they get blamed for turning you into a fat bastard.

    Union rules mate. Just cause they're machines don't mean they ain't entitled to a day off alright?

    Feckin' management want to treat the workers like flippin' robots around here. Especially the robots!

    You actually expect us to believe they would make their chicken nuggets out of aything that wasn't swept up off the floor or not made of mechanically recovered sh1te?

    This.. She probably felt that you need to cut back on the amount of ****e you eat snd is cutting back on certain items for you. You won't be allowed your big mac tomorrow and fries are off the menu on Saturday. It's for your own good.
