: You may or may not have read my reply to Joey in the Kids room, but I'll post my idea here in this popular room for all to see. : In reading many of the posts here, I've seen that happy meal toys have caused many a McD employee grief and have been a source of confusion and frustration for parents.
: To resolve this, each happy meal should come with a pick list of the current free toys offered. Mom or Dad can then ask their kid which toy he or she wants, and then "X" the appropriate box. Next, fill in the name/address box, and then drop the "business reply" form into the mailbox. In a week or less, the kid's toy will arrive in the mail, straight from the regional office, which would handle the distribution.
: There! No more holdups due to an indecisive 5-year-old (I'm not insulting children - I was one myself), or a belligerent temperamental parent who thinks he and his little angel are better than anyone else.
: Better yet, instead of toys, include games (connect the dots, etc) and perhaps a mini coloring book.
: Well gotta go. Have a good day.

Mike you oughta know that individually mailing toys to people who purchased $3 meals is hardly going to be economic. I doubt the kids would be to thrilled with this plan in todays world of instant gratification. Isn't it ironic, don't you think, that the happy meal toys cause such grief for kids/parents, when the .10 piece of junk is probably why they ended up at McD's in the first place. Mike, I reaaly think you should read "Diet for a New America". THen, when you learn about healthly nutrition and stop frequenting these fast food outlets, you will be able to use the money you save to put your hand in your pocket for more than the $15/month you give the united way.
I hear Alanis will soon have a new album out. I'm sure you'll be looking forward to it. ;-)
None.
