Add steak seasoning!

If a former McDonald's employee comes through the drive-thru and tells you to add steak seasoning, DO IT, you @#$@#$ (*&*(&^ !@#$@!#$ teenage hoodlums! Undermine McDonald's profits on your OWN time! Not when I go through the drive-thru!

Let me explain this. I used to work for McDonald's. I know exactly how to prepare a breakfast steak bagel. Get the steak out of the freezer, put it on the grill, put some slivered onions down ('big' onions, not 'little' onions), make sure the platen is set to 'steak,' close the platen... wait a few minutes... Then when the platen opens, look up above the grill - you should see two salt shakers. One of them is regular grill seasoning - it's just salt and pepper - that's for hamburgers. The other one is filled with herbs and salt and balls of pepper that aren't ground up. The container has a little handle, at least at the store where I worked. That's the steak seasoning. Turn it upside-down once over the steak. Get the spatula, pull off the steak and onions with the spatula, and put it into a meat tray, or directly on the sandwich, if the sandwich has already been made.

I'm not going to tell you how to make the rest of the sandwich. The steak seasoning is the problem. The rest of the bagel is usually just fine. Without the salt, it has no flavor. I might as well stay home and cook a bunch of plain ground beef in a pan by myself. The seasoning is absolutely essential to the sandwich. I am sick and tired of telling people this same thing over and over again a thousand times! Season the meat! The seasonings are located directly above the grill! Know where they are and USE them!

I noticed the problem and went through the drive-thru AGAIN and asked them to add steak seasoning. But nobody knew what on earth I was talking about! I guess steak seasoning is so rarely used, so obscure, that nobody there even knows it exists. Apparently my request was miscommunicated, because they remade the sandwich again EXACTLY THE SAME WAY - NO SEASONING.

You people ruined my breakfast!
