    1. Should McDonalds pay their interns?
    2. Mobile Code
    3. I rarely order fast food, let alone McDonald's. I had enough points for a free hash brown, and they had a $2 breakfast sandwich deal. I guess I understand not stacking deals with deals, but a reward and a deal can't be used together?
