I am French and I live here.
I am always ashamed that I do not eat frog legs, so I am scared to eat in front of Brits, in case I will be exposed. I won't even order food in case they realise I don't like them.
Last month I went to France and bought back frg legs which I took to McDonald, and I showed to the cashier the legs and told her 'this is my dessert' so she thought I would eat the legs and mcdonalds.
I am hungry

Then maybe you didn't have the means to support yourself if you couldn't find a job.
>>
>>66638718
That's the thing you're scared off?

Not the fact that you have to PAY EXTRA to sit inside a McD to fucking eat your burger.

They fucking charge you EXTRA to sit inside.
>>
>>66640922
It is true
>>
>>66641042
I don't eat fastfood. I never knew they charge extra for something so stupid
>>
>>66641017
No, I've never tried to find a job there yet, I've just read from countless sources that you need a job offer beforehand if you want to have any chance of getting a work visa. What qualifications or diplomas did you mean?
>>
>>66641066
I didn't know either, until I went hiking with some friends in your beautiful country. On our way home we felt like we could do with some disgusting fastfood and then they wanted 2kr PER burger for us to sit inside.
>>
>>66641042
>>66641093
>complain that you pay 2 ekstra kroner to use their tables and toilets
>>
>>66641151
It's a restaurent, it's already part of their service.
It would spark an outrage here, some restaurents in Århus even allow you to bring your own wine, because it's fucking expensive.

Guess that's what you get for living in Jutland and being careful with your money ;>
>>
>>66641093
>>66641151
He has a right to complain, it could have been raining or cold out. How dare they charge more just because you want to eat inside. They don't charge me when I sit in the restaurant and use their wifi for 3 hours.
>>
>>66641198
>>66641217
you can look at it two ways
>you pay extra to eat it there
or
>you save money by not eating there

for some people the glass is always half empty and not half full..
>>
>>66641266
It's about customs. Do restaurents in Norway usually charge you using their table? My guess would be no. Of course I get angry when I buy my food at their place and then they ask me to pay to eat it there. It's bad service.
>>
>>66641198
>comparing a fast food restaurant to a proper restaurant
I struggle to even call McD a restaurant.
>>
>>66641303
you forget that you're going in there to buy fast food, which is often take away and eaten on the go
it's not the same as a regular restaurant
>>
>>66641314
McDonalds has all blacks working there, I find Burger King has a good amount of QTs working.
>>
>>66641042
Are you memeing?
>>
>>66641314
So do I, but that is how they brand themselves, so they should start acting like it. I've never experienced such a thing, anywhere, no matter how shitty of a food place it was.

>>66641354
No and based on the response, it proves it true.
>>
>>66641349
BK has much better customer service as well, at least in my area. And it's not as crowded as McD.

That's so stupid, do they charge to use the bathroom too?

In burger land if you go to McDonalds in the early morning you can see groups of old men drinking coffee and talking bout dubya dubya two. They sit there for hours everyday, I guess this is the freedom they fought for o7.

Normally, you either go there first and use the three months to get a job, or get a job beforehand or a study visa, or you're self employed / work remotely, or you're rich and show that you have enough money to never depend on them.

You must be qualified for a job and have the diplomas or the experience required + you found a job or have enough money to live without working and you can prove it.
The people I know who didn't find a job were loaded or students.
