McDonalds @ Prangin Mall,Gurney Plaza & Penang Airport

Why Prangin Mall ?

  1. The cashier/staff like to make gecko/cicak sounds  if you decide to change your order
  2. The floor is full of black footprints that are left unmoped,you feel like you are dining inside a dirty toilet stall
  3. The place is severely understaffed and the staff are highly strung/under pressure cos this is a high traffic outlet
  4. This complex is also a hotspot for Penang teenagers to make out/kiss etc etc(the girls are very brazen and always make the first move in grabbing the boy suddenly to plant a wet french manouvre).Be prepared to watch pimply lovebirds exchanging saliva coated with onion breathe as you munch on your burger or in front of the lifts after your meal
Why Gurney Plaza ?

  1. This outlet is filled with happier staff.However their kitchen staff often play the fool.When you eat you might be treated to sounds of them screeching,giggling,laughing and screaming loudly.Once in hysterics they will also run around,chase each other with mops and utensils.In the end it will screw up your order.Examples.....a friend once ordered chicken porridge that consisted of an entire soup cup of pure chicken meat plus tasteless soup minus the rice porridge.Another got a double cheeseburger minus the cheese.Both true stories.
  2. There are lots of oversized staff here that look like they ate up half of the kitchen contents,refuse and budget.All great adverts for a fast food outlet that claims to be nutritious and healthy.
  3. Update september 2011 : The outlet emenated a horrible stink.The smell is as bad as one of the badass toilets at 1st Avenue Mall or the hawker centre near the Heng Ee roundabout.Upon further snooping around,I found that it comes from their bins and the counter where one gets the condiments like sauces,sugar and creamer.Every customer that walked in today,had a big frown due to the unbearable stench.The staff were nonchalant about the smell.I rest my case.

Why Penang Airport ?

  1. Sit in the middle where there are cushions and check the glass divider.It is a living display for Fingerprint Art that has not been wiped for ages.Beneath it,is a Dust Art Instillation.
  2. Diners clear tables for the staff here,not the other way round
  3. Do not look under your table like I did.Unless you love to check out air travellers discards,tissues,used nappies and other yucky icky things(thank the low cost carriers for turning nice spanking airports into third world bus depos for trash travellers)
  4. Cranky,grouchy,growling,fierce female ninja staff lie behind the cash counter.The most ferocious and largest of them all,Shera the Ninja Sumo Mistress turns into a Genghis Khan to defend No.5(refer below) the instant you raise an issue with the bill.She will turn men into meek mice with her loud booming voice that can shrink testicles when she says "SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM????"while scrutinising the limp bill with an outraged look,to which you will feebly offer her a "nothing....nothing".She is so menacing I bet she could intimidate even Karpal.
  5. Blur male staff take your orders and screw them up if you make your order in English.To avoid an encounter with the Ninja Sumo Mistress,do tell the boys your order in Bahasa Malaysia
