don't think the cheese adds anything to it, anyway.

Sure it does. It serves to glue the top of the bun the the fish puck.

Still not worth the cheese to me but at least it's not the shredded lettuce that they put on other things. I got a chicken sandwich a few weeks ago at PDQ and it had lots of the shredded stuff! I much prefer Chick-Fil-A's leaf lettuce.

Nearly all fats food places use the shredded lettuce - which I *much* prefer over the dark green, usually very limber, bitter outside leaf
on a Popeyes or Wimpy's sandwich. At least the shreddies have some

We've never ordered anything but chicken pieces (and sides) at
Popeye's, never been to Wimpy's. The super fine shredded lettuce was at
a PDQ's; I don't know how big a chain they are. They discount meals for military, all first responders, etc the first Monday of the month. That coincicdes with Wake Forest's flag raising to honor deceased veterans

for lunch.

I looked them up in my Bing search engine. There was one in Orland Park (Chicago area) but it's "permanently closed" - so apparently it was a
flop. Their web site tells me the nearest to me is 800 miles away.

But they keep falling out of the sandwich and making a mess.

I usually keep the paper wrapper that the sandwich came in wrapped on
the bottom of the thing as a diaper if there is any danger of leakage.
Not just shredded lettuce - but sometimes the cook-bots get enthusiastic
with the mustard and/or ketchup and/or mayo. Since I haven't used a bib
in years it helps keep my shirt and trousers clean.

That will vary from operator/franchisee to operator/franchisee.
an area where there are two different franchisee/operators. And,
I have noticed, that the "details" are different between them.

I guess each franchisee has a certain amount of leeway as how to handle some parts of the menu.

water instead of milk. I've not had a Mickey D's hot chocolate for
years. And it's easy enough to make my own.

I don't think I've ever had McD's hot chocolate. I'll usually have
water or diet Coke, used to have a shake but not had one from them
in years.

Their hot chocolate used to as good as their coffee was bad. They
have raised their game on the coffee - mostly in response to $*.
As have the other competitors in the fats food business.

I couldn't tell you as I'm not a coffee drinker.

What do you use for a caffeine delivery system?

British Blend tea is my go to at home; while travelling (other than
with the camper), I'll take other teas. Usually only in the morning,
diet Coke if I'm out for lunch somewhere.

I do black tea (sorta/kinda) equivalent to your British Blend I think. Sweetened, if using sweetening. with honey. If I want a cuppa in the
afternoon or evening I do "Constant Comment". If a beverage is included
with breakfast and I don't have anyone to give the coffee to I'll take
hot tea (usually whatever Lipton puts in the bag) or a glass of juice
(non orange) if available.

I have worked out an equivalent for the Constant Comment in case I can't
buy it at the market.

Hi Dave,

Sounds like you would have to have an extra long lunch hour to get a
meal there. (G)

Chick-Fil-A is good there; they don't add any condiments to their
sandwichs. They have all the usuals available so I generally grab a
packet of mayo. If I'm ordering the chicken strips, I'll ask for a side
of pickles and grab some mayo to make my own, bun-less chicken with
pickles.

I'll usually go for water with lemon if I'm not having the tea. When
we're travelling with the camper, Steve will usually make me a travel
cups full of tea to go so I can sip it while on the road. We have a
couple of Contigo travel cups (glasses?) that are really good for
holding the heat for early morning departures when you don't want a lot
of breakfast drink.
