Angry MACCY D STAFF: DEAF... OR JUST PLAIN STUPID?!

I reckon, on average, they fvck up my (drive thru) orders about 33% of the time! And that's being generous! Seriously.

I either receive the wrong option... Or not receive an item at all!!! (despite paying for it, of course ).


Any others experience such appalling service there - or indeed elsewhere?

Only 33% of the time? You're lucky, must be 80% of the time with me.
KFC are just as bad though.

I don't eat in/at McDonalds that often, but I have never really had a problem. There isn't much they can get wrong surely?

lol I know it's ultimately sh1te, but I have to have it every now and again. Maccy's always hits the spot when I'm in the mood. And the buggers KNOW it.

I think they refer to their patrons as, ahem, "users"............

You know the old joke, "what do you say to a university graduate,,,,,,, a big mac and large fries please". This is just students protesting again.

Not much different here either. Spotty child labourers forget to add French fries, they give out freezing cold burgers, they forget to give a straw with your drink, they give you vineger instead of ketchup, they take ages to sort the order even on the Drive Thru, and make you wait for hours in their burger picking parking space. Within that long waiting time, you could go home and make your own burger, eat it, and come back for another Maccy D one, FFS! You can't even shout at them because of their age, it would only make you feel bad. Very difficult situation, indeed.

The other day I "wanted" to buy some deodorant. Exchange went like this:-

ME:
Hi mate, is that deodorant behind you.

HIM:
This one? [barely legible mumble]

ME:
No no, the one next to it; the tall can.

HIM:
This?

ME:
Yep, that one. [Again] It is deodorant right?

HIM:
[Unintelligible mumble - but I think he was confirming in the affirmative]


Paid, left shop, drove home, opened bag of goods, pulled out "deodorant"...... It was shaving cream.




DISCLAIMER: Before you ask, I'm a bit short sighted and wasn't familiar with the brand in question's "look" for their deodorant (it was the only brand in the size I wanted).

No smartarse "...smelly..." quips either .

Oh, yes. They will do that, no probs. One day, I had to go all the way back to MaccyD from home, because they forgot to give me my French fries with the meal that I had paid for. Of course They gave me my French fries on my return, but I had to burn my fuel again to get them. By the time I got back, my burger was stone cold. I had to give it to the cats.

100% true.

And also, because of their age, they look at us, ahem. older types with utter disdain as you roll up to their booth. They have a look like they've just stepped in **** something.... Which, seeing as they walked into McD's that day, I suppose they indeed have.

I only ever have a cup of coffee from McD's. If I want a burger it has to be Burger King, but only when the 2 for 1 offers are running

Ah man, I could do with that right now.

My 'stock' order is:-

Nig Mac meal (large fries/strawberry shake).
1/4lb cheeseburger (or is it double cheesburger? - can't remember).
McChicken Sandwich.
Apple pie.
Donut.

I park up and walk in these days; it quicker (as thay usually send me to a waiting bay anyway), and if they get it wrong, I can check it there and then before I leave.

I agree it's more civilized than a drive-thru.

If you offer subterranean leguminous fruits as remuneration, you will obtain simian primates.
