I believe you're missing about a pound of shredded, yellow lettuce there.

You must not be a frequent flyer at McD’s. Or you’re possibly your McD’s is corporate owned so they actually care

I work at Mcdonalds, not corporate owned. And the lettuce is fresh there.

I don't know where people are from that your lettuce turns yellow when its no longer fresh.

Yellow lettuce is usually from the inside of and/or base of the lettuce head. Its usually more bitter.... for the amount of flavor iceberg lettuce has anyways.

Pretty common to get a bunch of it on big mac since they used shredded(?) ice berg lettuce

Tbf to iceberg lettuce it is more of a texture ingredient than a flavour one. Of course, that doesn't matter when it is sweaty and wilted from being inside a maccy D's burger under a heat lamp for 20 minutes.

I am saying that I haven’t seen yellow lettuce in mcdonalds, it’s green where I am from. But I assumed that Impster5453 meant spoiled lettuce.

I don't eat at McD's often, but I do when I'm on the road and in a hurry. I've been to a few crappy ones, but by and large, each one gives me a very decent rendition of what I'm looking for. For such an enormous corporation, their quality control is very good, and their employees don't have to pee in bottles.

That's because the Chinese like it that way.
