Fuck you, McDonald's

Those of you only interested in telling me I'm unreasonable for eating in McDonald's, can save your fingers. I'm not going to be back in a hurry, Christmas fucking music (Noddy Holder followed by Tom Jones) and worse, they've changed the barbecue sauce and now it's minging. I came in here for some emotional eating and I'm leaving enraged. Angry

Burger King did an April Foo’s announcing a left handed whopper. Apparently they were inundated with people trying to order it 🤦‍♀️

@UndertheCedartree I don't think it's actual Golden Syrup cos that's more like glue and the McDonald's one isn't.
I have only recently discovered the joy of their pancakes and syrup. Mmmm 🥞

Hmm...I would imagine it's not actual maple syrup but we had 'maple flavoured' syrup in a Travel Lodge in the summer so maybe it's that?

Well fuck me if I’d known all I needed to do to get a break from my kids was take them to McDonald’s more often I’d have been there daily!

Also love the smoky bbq sauce! At least there won't ever be a shortage based on replies here!!

Presumably OP you are OK with giving your custom to a company that does little to protect young staff from harassment or worse?

I'm not.

They were playing Christmas music in Tesco last week, but really, really quietly, as though the order to play it had come from up top but the staff in store had stuck it on at minimal volume in order to try and save their sanity! I had to strain my ears to catch 'Siiiimmmmppplllyyyy, Havvvvvvviiinngg, a WonderFUL Christmas Time!'

Whiteday · 15/11/2023 19:55

@NalafromtheLionKing ok you've got them involved with some decent stuff then!

I remember for an April Fools, McD announced they were starting a new milkshake sauce.

Apparently there are people who like to dip their fries in their milkshake.
When they found out it was an April Fools, they were really gutted.

I was just astonished people dip fries in milkshake.
Who are these weirdos?
Fess up, do any of you dip your fries in your milkshake?

Ridiculous to be actually going inside now you can order it from your phone to the car park and eat it in glorious solitude

The one near me only lets you do this up to a certain time 🙁. The drive thru is always packed as well and so slow.

UndertheCedartree · 15/11/2023 19:54

Well, I might as well have my McDonald's rant! Why is it that they can never manage to send a full order when ordered on Deliveroo etc? They mostly always forget the dips and usually at least one or two other items. I won't order from them anymore before this happens every single time. And the first few times Deliveroo refunded me no problem. Last time they refused. So I not only had an upset child, spent ages on bloody live chat (I'm sure it's just AI) but they refused to refund me so I paid for things I didn't receive!

@isthismylifenow that's cruel!! I can't get it!!!! Where are you? Send some please?

What is this I read of a bagel! We have never had nor currently have these.

I will trade you 6 jalapeño sauces for one bagel. 😀

We only get the mcmuffins for breakfast. And don't dare try order after 10.30am, oh no no not happening. The hash brown is the best part of that deal. It's dripping in oil and you need three serviettes. Perfect hangover cure.

If you get there at 10.30:001 that board gets whipped around so fast and then you have to rethink your whole order, with a hangover.

@NalafromtheLionKing keep away from McDonald's! Is there like a self ban thing you can do, like gambling?

Nah, the kids already spend far too much of their time gambling (and smoking).

This is what the internet is FOR imo.

I assume the maccy haters are too weak after their massive salads to type …

I know but now we only eat artisan, homegrown, organic everything and all food is wild, not farmed (young DS just ate a housespider 🕷️ which is organic and full of protein, while my older 2 are busy hunting birds and rabbits in the fields).
