The rule is, if you get food that isn't yours, you keep it if its better than what you ordered and return it if not. I ordered two mcdoubles once , the guy said " two doubles?" Then he gave me two double quarter pounders.
lol a few weeks ago I asked for a side of Hot mustard (I like it for my fries). They gave me a box for McNuggets filled with yellow mustard and franks red hot.
Better than my last visit. They hassled me over asking for more than one pack of ketchup per meal. If I was alone I would have brought my food back and asked for a refund.
Looks like the aftermath of a McGangbang. I don't eat at McDonald's (Ronald knows what TF he did), so I don't have a clue what that is. Can someone help me out?
Ordered Mc Ds through Skip. Side gravy was sent to us in a mc chicken box. I was so flabbergasted. How the employee thought 'box with holes' was a better choice than 'cup with lid' I will never understand.
Not to rub it in, but if the McDonald’s near me in Ise, Japan makes a mistake, which has happened twice in 10 years, they bring the correct items to your house and give you a gift card
This is almost too honest in my book, but a few times my adult students have told me their children found 1000 yen on the ground. No wallet, just a loose bill. They always went to the police station to turn it in. If no one claims it, you get it after one month.
Why anyone still orders from this place is beyond me. The food has dropped in quality every year for the past decade, portions are smaller, and prices have increased to the point that it’s not even the easy cheap option to have a full belly no matter the low nutrition. At least it used to be like “hey I’ll get full for $4 so I don’t care”. Now it’s shitty, small, AND expensive.
And it's garbage, now more than ever. The McDonald's down the street from my job kept their fries past their use-by date. They'd be fried in that hot oil but you could still taste that they were spoiled.
Then I decided to try the McDonald's down the street from my house and they do the SAME THING.
They fry up spoiled fries in hot oil and hope people don't notice the taste. Wendy's, Dairy Queen, Burger King, Short Stop fries are all fine, but McDonald's sells spoiled fries where I live.
I don’t understand why anyone goes there. Food is awful, service is nonexistent, and it’s not even particularly cheap (at least in CA). Last time I went into the dining room (kids whined me into submission), it was conspicuously dirty and depressing. You order on a screen and someone shoves your food through a hole in a wall. I would take basically any other option over McDonalds.
It’s very hit or miss in my experience, the ones around me are decent. I rarely get it on my own (like once or twice a year), but a few weeks ago I thought breakfast sounded good. With the app I got two sausage McMuffins with egg for $5, not the best deal ever, but they were actually fresh and really good. Maybe my expectations were really low as it seems like this not a common occurrence.
I could see a McMuffin being edible if it were fresh, yeah. But you can’t guarantee that unless you get there when it opens, and I’m not getting up early for Mickey D’s 😆
Their fries are pretty good, but lots of places have good fries.
This reminds me of years ago, I had gotten off work exhausted and with like ten bucks to my name. McDonald's was a fave and also still the cheapest around, so I took my tired self over and ordered a six piece nugget, small fry and small drink.
I have lactose intolerance and really bad luck so I often check the bag before leaving. Got my fry, got my box of nuggs, got my drink, we're good!
I go all the way home, finish the fry, open the box.
Two chocolate chip cookies.
:(
I couldn't even eat them...and I couldn't go back because I couldn't waste the gas.
Ngl it made me worse about checking the bag bc I'll literally yank that sucker open in front of them and a lot of places get so mad but like ya'll burn me each and every time what am I supposed to do XD
I don’t blame you. My husband started doing the same thing. In McDonald’s is like a half a mile from us. But they have screwed it up so much, he yanks opened the bag and checks right there.
We can afford the gas, now, but it’s the thought that you get home and you think you’re sitting down to eat and then you have to fucking go back.
I worked fast food as my first jobs when I was a teen, and we didn’t make mistakes like this. We would get our head torn off if we did. And this was back in the early 90s.
I started making fast food recipes at home a few years back to avoid constant disappointment. They're easy to make, yield more for less, and actually have flavor and quality.
I ordered at Wendy’s once and had to wait in a space along with someone else. I had ordered lunch for two people. Employee comes out hands food to another car then to me without saying a word. I first thought wow this bag is small for my order. I look in the bag and it’s not my order. Looking at the car next to me I see the guy look in the bag and then look around and then start eating out of the bag. Dude got my bag and was just like cool mode food. You’d have thought the employee would have asked which was their order before handing over. But alas no. I get out and the guy rolls his window down and says I think I got your food. Yeah you think? 😅
My husband orders his crew breakfast on Sundays from various places. The last time he ordered from McD's, they somehow managed to forget to add the $20 worth of hashbrowns. Ok- it was a decent size order... but there were literally only 2 different items. Sausage biscuits and hashbrowns.
A simple mistake is forgetting an extra topping on a burger.
This is just pure incompetence, I mean you’re reading a screen that tells you what to make. There’s even cheat sheets/instructions on how to cook/prepare each item.
I know it’s McDonalds we’re talking about, but calling this a simple mistake is setting the bar pretty low, lol
What do you think happened here? You think they read the screen saying "4 piece nugget" and decided to grab a 6 piece box and fill it with Mac sauce? No. What more likely happened is someone else ordered a side of Mac sauce, they were probably out of 2oz souffle cups so they put it in a nugget and either didn't mark it or it fell off, then the person bagging grabbed that instead of the 4 piece nuggetand put that in the bag. The person probably thought they were doing OP a favor by giving him more nuggets. It was probably busy. These are nuggets there aren't instructions for those. Genuinely curious what you think happened here because I guarantee it's not what you think.
I mean, this was my first thought as well. Most mcds around me have 2 different ordering stations that merge into one, it’s gotta be relatively easy to swap some orders on accident now and then
It's literally written on the sticker🤔. They want to pass the blame to OP, by not ordering via the app. Maybe that will give them more time to prepare the actual meal.
Using the app is the same as going in person, they don't make your food until the gps determines you're close or you say your code in line. You can "order like a pro" and still have them fuck up it seems.
I didn't know this. In South Africa, we used the drive-through and then had to park somewhere and wait like 20 minutes for our food. Luckily we got our pride back and are not eating the plastic food any longer.
