Here’s something I have to admit. And I kinda feel bad doing it… I prefer McDonald’s iced coffee over Dunking Donuts iced coffee. No, I’m not a swanky Starbucks type, I even call them Starsucks. I’m just a regular guy who happens to make damn good market calls.
So why do I prefer McDonald’s? I think it’s the hazelnut flavoring. It’s freaking delicious. The DD flavoring just tastes bitter.

So needless to say, I’ve been going to McDonald’s more often lately. So last night me and my girlfriend went to McDonald’s in search for some Cinnamon treats. And we also ordered a chicken burger. So my girlfriend asks for some barbecue sauce, and the stupid manager guy looks at us and says ‘11 cents per sauce packet’.

Really?!?!?!?!

First of all, why 11 cents? Did you want to bring the penny back? Why not 10 or 15 cents. You know, a nice round number. Instead, if I don’t have exactly 11 cents, I have to get 4 pennies back from you.

I hate pennies! If they are double stamped, then OK, I’ll take them. But until then, what the hell!

The second frustrating thing about this, if I buy anything at McDonald’s I should have the privilege of being able to choose what condiment I want. I shouldn’t have to order a ’special’ meal just to have the ‘right’ to have barbecue on my chicken burger.

What, should I sign some forms to make sure I’m eligible for ketchup?

God, McDonald’s does some crazy things sometimes. But I have to say that at least the market is looking down today.

We had an airliner go bankrupt. GE screwed the earnings pooch. And import inflation soared 2.8% last month (what is that like a 10% rise in the past year?!?).

Yeah, as you can expect, market isn’t too happy about that. Maybe we’ll have a nice 200-point drop today to celebrate.

I’ll be back later!
