To think McDonalds are unreasonable?

I am at the burger restaurant with the toddler. We ordered the food and then I asked for a chilli dip and a curry dip.

Apparently I couldn't have this. I could have 2 chilli ones or 2 curry ones no more and no mix ups.

Why does it matter? Some people, rebels, like me like a mix and match dip. Some excitement and I have been robbed of that.

I will have to buy some shite in B&Ms I guess to even it out

BBQ dip all the way.

Can't you help yourself to dips in McDonald's anymore? In those little paper cup things.

giraffescantdanceallnight · 12/09/2013 16:10

They are on the board now as being 5p!

Boosterseat · 12/09/2013 16:11

Who the hell doesn't mix dips! Wink

I cant eat pizza without garlic mayo and chilli dips. Chips with mayo is also a given.

Travesty.

Did anyone know you can get Phillly ?!!!

usualsuspect · 12/09/2013 16:18

I didn't even know you could get curry sauce dips in mcdonalds.

Sweet chilli dip is the best and DP always gets that fro me to bring home, plus a bbq dip for him to have there when he gets a meal. We are meant to be going to MaccyDs tonight. If I can't have my usual dips I will go bat shit crazy not really, my DD and several friends work there and report back!!

WireCat · 12/09/2013 16:36

I have never ever had a dip in McDonalds not have I ever been offered any. Other than ketchup.

They once tried to charge me for ketchup. Ds1 goes through about 6 in a meal so I told them straight that I have never been charged & will not pay. They gave me about 20. Confused

Also, now I want McDonalds but I have got dinner put of the freezer. much healthier pizza

and I am now following SP on twitter

FatPenguin · 12/09/2013 16:38

Oh and what also annoys me is that you have to ask, they used to say 'any dips?' But now it's all 'please sir may I have a dip' before they bugger off.

Nagoo · 12/09/2013 16:40

It was a sad sad day that they discontinued flat fanta :(

I like the sweet and sour one. Do they still do that?

HavantGuard · 12/09/2013 16:41

Forget the sauce, how about the fact that 90% of their employees are on zero hours contracts.

Bloodsocks · 12/09/2013 16:47

Sweet curry sauce is THE ultimate dip, followed closely by sweet and sour. I always get at least one of each at my McDonald's when I order the box of 20 nuggets just for me.

HappyYoni · 12/09/2013 16:47

Is it bad that the man in my local burger king knows that I need at least 4 ketchups, I don't even have to ask anymore he just grins at me and says " you like LOTS of ketchup, yes?"

That's probably why he was a dick about dips then Guard

Nagoo I used to look forwards to it every time then one day they uttered those words. WE DONT SELL THAT ANY MORE. A little bit of me died then.

They don't even ask any more. You have to order and ask otherwise you ain't getting

That's ridiculous, talk about killjoy jobsworth! Fwiw i was once charged 10p each for 2 sauces after spending nearly £14 on 2 meals Shock

littlewhitebag · 12/09/2013 16:52

Ketchup, always ketchup in McDonalds.

Lots and lots and lots of ketchup.

Don't defile your lovely nuggets and chips with manky curry stuff or vile BBQ.

absentmindeddooooodles · 12/09/2013 16:54

I always mix and match. Also curry is blatanrly the best. Although I had no idea about the chilli one.....

onlyjoking9329 · 12/09/2013 16:55

Mcds are shocking, treating you so badly, can you sue them?
My Ds complained that his happy meal didn't work, bastards. Wink

DameDeepRedBetty · 12/09/2013 16:56

I am boycotting McD until they add mayonnaise to the dip selection.

LuisSuarezTeeth · 12/09/2013 16:56

I too am outraged. Was in a restaurant and ordered a meal which came with wedges. I said can I swap wedges for onion rings? He said no its company policy. I said but most of your stuff is "build your own and choose a side" stuff.

Not this meal he said. So I ordered the onion rings as extra, put the wedges on the side plate and told him to take it back.

I am Professionally Offended.

McDonald's take sauce requests as a personal insult.

Hellonewworld · 12/09/2013 17:03

Believe it or not we have to pay for dips at our local McDonald's, 20p each for the pleasure.

The toddler couldn't understand why it was a bad thing for me. He had a play area and all the sauce je wanted so he wouldn't understand Sad

They charge me 5p for every dip.
I am outraged too now!
There seems to be different policies across the country.
