Does That Come Supersized?

Posted by Columbo
January 25, 2008

We noticed that the McDonald’s on E ST (next to the Artisan) has the following sign in their window:

mcyds-fbi-special.jpg

Which leads us to the following two questions:

1. If we pretend to work for the FBI in order to qualify for the special, are we guilty of impersonating a federal officer?

2. Why isn’t there a PQLiving (writers, readers, and those who leave comments!) special?

I’d like a burger and a Beretta 92 to go please. extra clips on the side.

Does anyone know when the Dunkin Donuts is actually going to open?

So what exactly is the special? I’ve never seen Mickey D’s provide local specials? I’m half-kidding.

Comment by anon on January 25, 2008 @ 11:35 am

I know someone who works for the FBI and they received an email about this sign stating it was a matter of security and they should not show their FBI badge.

Comment by Mr. T in DC on January 25, 2008 @ 11:53 am

#4 If security is such a concern that employees are being told not to show their badges across the street, then the FBI should move to a secure compound outside of the downtown core. Then, the brutalist concrete building can be torn down, and the huge lot can be redeveloped into a more attractive and lively mixed-use facility.

Update to my previous post: I called DD corporate, and they said end of this month or early next month. Classified as “under construction.” And no phone number yet.

Sorry for the off-topic posting, but comments are disabled on the proper post.

FBI special? Want an extra ounce of saliva on that Quarter Pounder with cheese?

Comment by Adam on January 25, 2008 @ 12:56 pm

When you ask for the “FBI Special”, it’s probably code to spit in your burger.

Or maybe you get a liter of cola. Who knows.

PQW, I live right by Dunkin D’s and I check it all the time. It’s just like when Chop’t and Bar Louie were getting ready to open, when they are done they open it. Construction site people and managers are always overly optomistic. Corporate tends to be more conservative in their estimate. It will open soon.

Interesting. I don’t know if it’s true, but I remember hearing that in some places it’s illegal to offer special deals for law enforcement, because it’s considered a bribe. I’m guessing that McD’s is not concerned about that one.

Comment by Andy on January 25, 2008 @ 3:51 pm

has anyone actually asked about it? They might just be capitalizing on the location and it might be something like “Fries Burger and Ice cream”, available to anybody…

Comment by Renton on January 26, 2008 @ 3:34 pm

#1 I’ll take a Sig P250. After the gun ban is repealed of course…

Comment by GrumpBump on January 26, 2008 @ 8:59 pm

Oh c’mon! Just dig out your “Female Body Inspector” shirt from the 70s and get in there for your free cheeseburger.

Comment by Columbo on January 27, 2008 @ 7:16 am

#13 I hereby nominate you for comment of the year.
