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

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!

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.

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.

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?

Edited

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

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

SnuggleBuggleBoo · 15/11/2023 19:55

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!'

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

@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!

I wonder how many 'McDonald's orphans' @LNY1986 is willing to take? 🤔

Yanbu iv still not forgiven them for taking away the sausage, egg and cheese bagel 😫

Oh the bagel with its glorious cheese hole. I miss it every day.

I remove the egg from a sausage, egg and cheese mcmuffin and add an extra sausage and extra cheese. It's disgusting and amazing.

Although, I'm still displeased about a recent delivery that took 90 minutes to come and (as it had changed drivers), it was ice cold. Had a massive argument with them to get a refund!

Needmorelego · 15/11/2023 19:59

@UndertheCedartree I wonder if "maple syrup" one of those things that can only be called that if it is actually made in Canada?
You can only get Golden Syrup made by Tate and Lyle can't you? I've never seen an own brand 🤔

BitOutOfPractice · 15/11/2023 20:00

Well rage is an emotion I guess op. But not one you needed. Thoughts and prayers.

I actually love McDonalds at the moment, as they've just given my 16yo her first part time job!

You let your 16yr old daughter work for mcdonalds with all the stuff in the papers about sexual harassment being prolific in their stores?
