I took my girls by McDonald's on the way to Kids Castle for Genevieve's end of the year school party. We had just finished with Jocelyn's party with juice and snacks but I knew they would want something more substantial before playing. I ordered 2 kids meals...something we don't do on a regular basis...or ever...but I thought it was a special day, so what the heck! :)
After I placed the order the voice through the drive through speaker asked what they would want to drink with their meal. Since they just finished a juice box, I replied, "Just water, thanks."
Can you guess what his reply was?
"We don't offer water with the kids meal. It is only pop or juice."
I laughed out loud. "You can't give water?"
"No, we don't offer water with the kids meals."
"You mean, you can't put water in a cup, but you can put pop in a cup?"
After a long silence and heavy sigh he asked me to wait a minute.
He came back to say that no, as a matter of fact, they couldn't give water, but I could purchase a water bottle if I would like.
I have never been so disgusted in my life! They are forcing sugary pop and juice on kids!
And yes. I got them water bottles.

Hey Carrie, this is Julie, Sara's mom just in case you didn't know but WHAT THE HECK????? Are you freaking KIDDING me!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!???!!?? I'm not sure when I heard anything more ludicrous, they wouldn't just turn on their faucet and put some water in your girls' cups. I am truly appalled, it makes me want to write a letter to the editor. UNBELIEVABLE!
A letter to the editor is a great idea Julie!! Trust me, I am still in shock thinking about it!
That is appalling! I would write a letter to their corporate office as well as to the editor! We have been there a total of twice with Ryan and your post just re-affirmed that decision! Ryan actually calls it Old Mc Donalds...
