Probably some randomer set the page up with the thoughts of making some dough from doing private burger delivery.

Yes, I have thought of doing it.

TeddyTedson · 28-04-2011 10:48AM

Why don't they deliver already?

kfallon · 28-04-2011 10:48AM

Is their food suitable for delivery - quite often a delivery run for a Chinese/Italian place takes 30 minutes and I don't think McDonalds food maintains itself this long.

Yes it will sky rocket. People got their exercise walking into a mcdonalds now they can sit at home and gorge themselves.

If people want nutritionally deficient crap who am I to stop them. But we as taxpayers will pick up the bill when people will be dropping dead of heart attacks later in life. There should be a fat tax on McDonalds and irresponsible eaters. Why should my taxes pay for extra health costs for these people?

The chips would be freezing cold by the time they got to you!

I think you've lost focus a bit.

It's not the food; it's the portion size. It's easy to fit a cheese burger into a healthy balanced diet.

It is the food. The first ingredient in McNuggets is hydrogenated vegetable oil. That is pure trans fats. Trans fats cause 6-20% of all heart attacks in the US. Their chicken products are disgustingly farmed, as is all of their food. Smoking and drinking would be equally as bad for you as eating that rubbish.

If people are too lazy not to get into their car and drive to McDonalds for a meal then I give up all hope when they can get this rubbish delivered to their door.
But looking at it in a positive light, when I see a fat kid then I might be looking at the next front rower on the Irish Rugby Team.

I don't play GAA yet my taxes go towards the subsidy of the organisation and previously towards the redevelopment of Croke Park. Wah wah wah.

Actually I do play, but I'm fed up of people on AH coming out with this rubbish about "my taxes". How little a contribution do you think that the tax levied on an individual on the average industrial wage makes? Do people really think they are single handedly funding all the civil servants, public sector workers, the bailout of the banks and god knows what else?

This isn't aimed solely at you Pride Fighter, but I really think a lot of posters need to read up on some public choice theory as well as basic decision making at a governmental level, and hopefully realise that public goods provide utility and are paid for in the form of taxes.

As an aside, nudge incentives are an interesting idea in relation to negative or damaging personal habits. It's been shown that positive rewards such as money for maintaining healthy weight is more effective than tax on fatty foods though.

P.S Dead people don't need or want your taxes.

Take your pick.

It's your responsibility to hold up your argument, not mine.

I'd like specific sources for the following points you claimed;

The first ingredient in McNuggets is hydrogenated vegetable oil
Hydrogenated vegetable oil is pure trans fats
Trans fats cause 6-20% of all heart attacks in the US
Their chicken products are disgustingly farmed
All McDonalds food is disgustingly farmed
Smoking and drinking would be equally as bad for you as eating McDonalds

If you can't provide the single sources (rather than just pointing me to a wikipedia page, the equivalent of saying "Google it") then I won't believe your argument for a second (nor will many others).

they are looking for drivers and want people to send there CV's to a gmail,address??.... very suspect

syklops · 28-04-2011 12:09PM

I will say one thing which looks positive is they are open 6pm to 6am at the weekend.. Its amazing how few food eateries are available after about midnight in dublin at the weekend.

The number of times when you got in after a few pints, got the munchies opened your fridge to find it like Mother Hubbards cupboard, only to find they all stop delivering at midnight was maddening.

Of course I know the reason for this which is it costs more to deliver food at night, but if you cant get your foot in the door in the very competitive daytime market, the night time market is yours if you willing to work it.

Lads, if you're gonna get a take away, at least make it worth your while! Maccie D's is muck!!

S.R.F.C. · 28-04-2011 12:14PM

Sure they deliver in plenty of other countries, don't know why they don't here as they'd make a fortune.
