So what happened the last time you ordered a Happy Meal at Mickey D?s?

I?d love to hear your narrative, but, if you can, please also answer these six questions.

1. With regard to toy choice, which comes closest to your experience:

   1. McDonald’s didn?t ask any question about toy choice.

   2. The toy-choice question didn?t mention the child?s gender (for example, ?Do you want the Digisports or the Hello Kitty toy??).

   3. McDonald’s asked whether the Happy Meal was for a boy or a girl.

   4. McDonald’s offered the choice of a boy?s toy or a girl’s toy.

   
   5. Other?



2. If asked a toy-related question, how did you respond?


3. If not asked a toy question, was it because the employee saw or heard your child and just gave what he thought was the gender-appropriate toy?


4. What toy were you given?


5. Was your order placed at the counter or drive through?


6. When and where (city and state) did the transaction take place?

I?ll report back the results.
