working at a restaurant like mcdonald's
isn't easy besides the endlessly
frenetic pace of making fast food you
also have to deal with demanding
customers who want their order just so
so what happens when those things
collide you get the most hated menu item
of all time according to the huffington
post the mcrap was introduced to appeal
to the millennial audience but it was
discontinued in 2016. why at the time
the removal was stated to be due to the
menu item's failure to attract
millennial consumers but former ceo tim
fenton later said the menu was over
complicated with franchise owners
complaining the reps were simply quote
too time consuming to prepare if you
have noticed the drive-through waiting
time has gotten longer and according to
usa today it has imagine the time spent
in line while someone ahead of you
orders three mcraps employees even took
to reddit to vent about the most
frustrating orders ever and the make
wrap topped the list one user wrote for
me it's when one order has multiple mick
wraps one of them will slow the line
down for a few seconds but when there's
two or three or more on the screen
everyone starts to complain about
slowness another mcdonald's employee
went on a lengthy tirade describing the
tedious 60-second process of preparing
the mick wrap from the steaming of the
tortilla to ensuring the ingredients are
already prepared in advance to try and
save time the consensus as one user put
it note to self make raps not even once
while the mcrap didn't exactly have
ronald mcdonald dancing in the aisles it
wasn't the only item that earned
mcdonald's workers disdain there were
some long forgotten menu items that made
customers wish they'd gone to that
creepy burger king instead in the 1980s
mcdonald's rolled out its newest
invention the mc pizza according to wide
open eats this foray into
italian-american cuisine was an attempt
to break into the growing mainstream
pizza chain market and go toe-to-toe
with pizza juggernaut pizza hut with a
few select test locations offering the
golden arches take on pepperoni pizza
mcdonald's surely expected the dough to
come rolling in but the brutal reality
was very different just like the mick
wrap the mick pizza was a chore to make
an astounding 10 minutes which led to
more than a few traffic jams at the
drive-thru the box the pizza came in
wouldn't even fit through the
drive-through window forcing already
ragged employees to make a trip out to
deliver the pizza to their hungry and
annoyed customers it would seem
customers didn't even really like it all
that much either finding it too
expensive and too time consuming for a
mediocre pizza redditers recalled the
mcpizza as being quote bleh another user
wrote it was good it wasn't terrible it
was just kind of there the mc pizza has
long been discontinued although
according to the daily meal one
mcdonald's in orlando florida still
serves it for some reason the make wrap
and the mc pizza both sounded like good
ideas on paper but just didn't pan out
the poster child for that however has to
be all day breakfast which came about
because of those demanding customers we
mentioned earlier i don't want lunch
i want breakfast
yeah well hey
i'm really sorry
yeah
well hey i'm really sorry too
all day breakfast was the dream of many
mcdonald's fanatics and in 2015
mcdonald's answered their long-awaited
prayers now young and old could enjoy a
hot cake platter or a mcmuffin whenever
they pleased no longer shackled to the
meager early morning hours to state
their cravings while this was popular
with hardcore mcdonald's fans some
employees weren't as thrilled about
all-day breakfast according to business
insider all-day breakfast actually hurt
company morale at some locations why
well it piled more tasks onto the
already overworked employees because the
changeover from breakfast to lunch was
becoming increasingly complicated in
some places the kitchen was cramped with
equipment with muffin heaters and egg
cookers running next to deep fryers and
coffee makers with mcdonald's all-day
breakfast having disappeared around the
time of the covet 19 pandemic it seems
unlikely we may ever get a mcmuffin or
mcgriddle for lunch again but hey you
never know
