McDonald’s Bowness, Calgary

Sometimes I really crave a fish burger and that means that I check out McDonald’s once in a while. And yesterday it was one of those days that i wanted a Fish burger.
At around 7 PM I walked in to the McDonald’s next to Highway 1 close to the Canada Olympic Park first of all this McDonald’s location has lots of parking and looks real nice on the inside (they even have a fireplace). The thing that was more surprising was that there where only 3 customers (including me) in this McDonald’s restaurant. I was expecting more people specially because lots of people eat dinner around this time.
I ordered 2 Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and payed by MasterCard and till my surprise I didn’t have to sign for anything. Then there was a small wait while they prepared my sandwich, I could follow the production process and was surprised that my fish was coming out of a drawer I was expecting a fryer but apparently they prebake them and keep them warm.
OK so I left McDonald’s for home and there i got the following surprise:

It looks like that McDonald’s is saving money by putting half slices of cheese on there Filet-O-Fish Sandwich. First I expected that i would be only one of the two Sandwiches but NO both my Filet-O-Fish Sandwiches had only a half a slice of cheese and i am pretty sure that in the past i always got complete slices.
For me it doesn’t really make a difference because i don’t really care for the processed cheese. Besides the cheese the burger was not fresh i guess it was sitting in that drawer for a while the Fish fillet was dry so dry that you could still notice even though there was a lot of sauce on the burger.
And this makes me come to the conclusion that this was probably the worst Fish-O-Filet Sandwich I ever got.
