Yet Viet Sub bread in Calgary is way better than anything you can get in grocery stores. I like the Satay beef and human blood sauce that forms though, complete with hot chilis in open wound adrenaline. Its like wasabi, but cooler.

It’s the ones in suburban residential strip malls that seem to have mostly shut down. There used to be three 7-11s, three Mac’s, and one independent convenience store in the subdivisions around where I grew up. Today there’s one 7-11 and two independents.

No, that's the Circle K.

I think you guys just have an Eating Disorder. Can not eat properly. Never had an issue with bread cutting my mouth before.

Altitude. Because of low pressures, things rise and evaporate too quickly.

Nice, their sugar cookie was the best sugar cookie I've had in a long time.

They have better stuff than slurpees. They have these Smoothie machines that blend frozen fruit and yogurt that are amazing and only $1.75cdn. My kids and I actually got kicked out of one of the 7-11s for drinking inside the store... lol

I guess you are not allowed to eat or drink inside.

The McDonald's by Ranchmans has been fenced off for a week or so. I assume it must be renos as it's always a busy place.

The big sign outside says renos and please visit Deerfoot Meadows instead. It was a modernized McDonalds already so I am wondering if they are doing some kind of expansion?

Brand revitalization, employee automation/elimination and more importantly an environment where you will be okay to pay $18 for a big mac.

Try the place at Mac Hall at the U of C. Cheap subs, excellent bread but the crust is softer.

I was down in the States last month and stopped at a few different McDonald's in different states and was surprised by how many only had the touch-screen kiosks for ordering. Face-to-face interaction with their employees was all but eliminated.

On the topic of bread, Save On Food opened near me a few years ago, and they have Portuguese buns (I think that's what they were called) which are amazing. Soft, tasty and way better than the tripe that passes for fresh bread other grocers sell.

That's pretty much the same here. There is usually 1 till and it's never manned in most Mcdonalds here. Anyone who tries to order at the till is usually waiting a long time before someone in the kitchen notices someone standing there.

Yeah, but at least it's still an option. The places I'm talking about didn't have a till at all.
