The only issue I have with McDonalds is that they haven't put enough emphasis on teaching their employees the difference between Regular or Decaf. I have noticed this several times as I have a sleep intolerance to regular coffee, and of all times last night I was away for work - and still at 3:45, and 7:02 I was still awake due to the coffee that I had received. Of course I request Decaf - but it's up to the discression of the employee to make sure that they give me what I order - and let's face it - how many times have you had to return something to the restaurant because it's not what you ordered??? The only difference between decaf and regular is that you can't tell by looking in the cup to find out if you're drinking decaf or not, so you don't find out till hours later - when you're on the hook and ready to do a major presentation in the morning and you havent had a lick of sleep. That's the only beef I've got with McCafe Coffee. But I do love the taste - find some way to change the colour so your employees can differentiate the 2 please.

My LTC facility is trying regular iced coffee as a beverage for staff and residents. Everyone loves it--filling 12 and 16 oz cups full of the beverage. I showed several staff (nurses) the information on iced coffee from Mc Donalds. They were stunned and amazed at the amount of calories and fat in a cup of iced coffee. Now they are asking for a sugar free version!! Hi. My LTC facility is trying regular iced coffee as a beverage for staff and residents.
