Not too many stores do that kind of cross-promotion much over here, but I guess we've evolved from that.

Britain has a weird deal with the big league Fast Food places as they compete with the huge Fish and Chip shop sector and the late night Kebab shops so they use every weapon in their arsenal. Stagecoach buses give out Burger King and McDonalds vouchers on the back of the bus ticket even through its for a Big Mac on the McDonalds one which is lame.

Doesn't surprise me if the Fish 'n Chip shops still gets 'em in. Sometime like this reminded me of the 1980's when certain stores would do stuff like this. I could just picture B. Dalton's or Waldenbooks doing this.

Getting a Big Mac at a McD's doesn't sound that bad to me (it's their signature burger after all).

They always have the McDouble on the dollar menu. Although they've raised the price of the dollar menu to $1.29 lately, realizing nobody gives a shit.

In Canada, we don't even have a Dollar menu. McDoubles cost in excess of $2.30. The only things we pay a dollar for are drinks as part of a summer-exclusive program.
 
McDoubles are 2.30 here 2...

In my neck of the USA there's usually coupon books for local merchants like tire and oil changes. Sometimes they get some decent McDonald's coupons.

Arriva also occasionally do vouchers with those two, along with Subway
 
Let me tell you about the visit to McDonald's I had an hour ago.

I go in and order a Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal with no ketchup. The guy says "we don't do small combos anymore, so do you want a medium or a large?"

I was taken back by this, and replied with "...Uh, large I guess?" The guy charges me for a large meal and I pay. After the transaction is finished, he hands me a small drink. I had no idea what was going on, and I didn't even want to go down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out what had just transpired, so I took my small drink and sat down. A young mother and her children who were waiting behind me then ordered.

I wait fifteen minutes. Fifteen fucking minutes. Myself, another young man, and the mother were the only people in the restaurant. The aforementioned young man was waiting for his to-go order when I walked in. Finally they call his number and mine simultaneously. A large order of cold fries sat next to my burger.

As I'm walking my tray back to the table, the lad with the to-go order realizes that they completely fucked the order up. As he's explaining to the cashier what he actually ordered, I flip open my Quarter Pounder box and see that it is plain with ketchup only.

I follow suit and go to rectify the matter, even though every ounce of logic is telling me not to. The cashier was extremely apologetic to both of us, and miraculously got us our correct order in an acceptable amount of time.

I'm eating my burger, and the cashier comes to my table with an offering of a small fries to apologize. I accepted, but found the choice of amends confusing, as I already had a large fries. A pie or ice cream cone would have been more logical.

I finish my meal and as I'm leaving the mother and her children are still waiting for their food. It had been at least half an hour since they ordered. I got into my car and made a mental note of the cars that were backed up in the drive through. I drove across the street to the tobacco bodega, bought a pack of smokes, and had a nice chat with the cashier.

When I walked outside, none of the cars in the drive through had moved.
