Yes, there's always a certain percentage of mutants (or at least trainees) working at McD's. However, when I was working there the managers usually were smart enough not to stick 'em in drive thru. (Tough enough taking an order over the equivalent of a bad walkie-talkie while taking the money from someone else.)

 

I don't believe there ever was a Big Mac without cheese. (Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.) But when I worked there in high school the Quarter Ham was actually on the menu (at a lower price than the cheese version, to boot). And it's basically an industrial version of Kraft Singles in that purgatory between Cool Whip and actual cheese.

 

My wife typically orders a Quarter Cheese plain (i.e. cheese only). Most of the time the mutants get it right, but sometimes they manage to mess it up. Never only gotten half the bun though. (Don't know how they do it now, but in my day you built quarters upside down.) And most of the time we eat in rather than doing the drive through.

I knew the Big Mac always had cheese, I just typed that sentence poorly. I remember as a kid going into a McDonald's because they'd give you something (a button, I think) if you could recite the ingredients to a Big Mac in under 5 seconds. The promotion had ended a few days before, but the manager was nice enough to give me the button anyway. Brilliant marketing - I've had that stupid list burned into my brain ever since.
