does this mean ill finally get justice for all those plain quarter pounders i ordered, only to receive them with a shitload of cheese despite specifically stating no cheese
Hate that shit Is it so hard to not put on the thing that makes my throat swell closed?
or order from a place that has said ingredient in 70% of their foods due to cross contamination. They even have a sign pointing that out when you pull up to the pay window or the desk.
Their primary focus is on speed, not accuracy, especially if you're going through a drive-through. They even have clocks that are tracked from central monitoring to see who's fucking up on their drive-through times.
just order a double hamburger plain, its their POS POS system that doesn't let them make a quarter pounder hamburger. if you check your order its always a quarter cheese no cheese plain
True enough, but between a low residue diet due to Crohns, a dairy allergy, and a soy allergy, I tend to take risks where I can I check every time but fortunately if I stop eating when I begin to notice a reaction, it doesn't get too serious
They mix up something as simple as sauce. I wouldn't trust them my life if I had a severe allergy to something common to their menus.
The new Quarter Pounder is pretty damn good. Give it a try if you haven't.
then the one near me must have someone pretty fucking important because they take what feels like a half an hour to figure out how to operate a soda fountain
how much did they pay you for that
0.05 mcbucks have been desposited into your account
He's not lying though. Fresh every time almost makes you think it's not from McDonald's. But then you eat the half-hour-old fries and you day's ruined.
You gotta remember the words "I want it fresh"
Ronald McDonald is a punk bitch and grimace sucked my dick so hard his jaw broke
of course, if you're an asshole, and maybe give the cook a dollar tip, tell em thank you. There's ways to get people to do things for you, and not make them feel put out.
The only way you can do that is if you make that super reasonable request to someone who's a total dickhead, or if you yourself are a dickhead about the request.
i have never even been to a fast food restaurant with a tips jar or a way of tipping the line cook(s)
All mcdonalds are obligated by corporate to throw fries out after 7 minutes. But most do not actually do that keep that buffer unless its busy (fries will always be fresh, unless the line is abysmally slow) or its late at night and didn't want to make customers wait an extra 2 minutes for fresh fries. In theory the 7 minute buffer works wonderfully when its properly followed. But this gets screwed over by mcdonalds that do not care or have lines so long they cook your fries and by the time you get them they are cold.
I was about 2 seconds away from posting "Grimace doesn't have a jaw". You cheeky git. Pretty sure McDonald's employees aren't allowed to accept gratuities, either.
They are not, they are suppose to donate the money to the ronald mcdonald house.
Oh ya, they aren't but the act of trying shows you know they are working a life draining job. Hell, I'll put the dollar in their pockets my self.
that never happens like ever the cook literally is behind the table for expo around. they're not going to go on the food prep side of the line and hand them 2 bucks
I agree. It's really delicious and definitely a healthy choice with great value!
Maybe it's just me then, having been mainly an overnight cook...I guess I know the troubles of the jobs and how frustrating it can be. (By 2 bucks, I should've said like 4-5, but tis was an example friend.)
but that still doesn't change the fact that a. you're not able to hand the line cook money because they're on the line, b. the cashier can't accept extra money without risking a firing, c. if they did accept it they'd put it directly in the ronald mcdonald house donation bin
At some places accepting a tip can get you in serious trouble. I worked at a senior center, which is a part of the town government, making me a town employee even though I was only a tutor for seniors. I'd get people trying to stick $5 in my pants pocket, literally shoving it in there. It's so awkward to explain "no I can't accept that it's considered a bribe I could lose my job" and if they were adamant I'd have to give it to my boss who'd send it back in the mail, so any way you slice it lady I'm not risking my job for a fiver. If you want to reward good service all you need to do is be really friendly and appreciative; if there's an issue be polite and understanding. Retail workers deal with the absolute lowest scum of humanity or just people who look at them like an object, so someone who's thankful of their work is sunshine on a cloudy day. Additionally when being friendly and clear your order will generally be correct unless you get an asshole or someone baked. You get more flies with honey than salt. If I'm friendly and articulate myself clearly the guy at the POS system will make sure my soda doesn't have ice and I get extra sweet and sour sauce.
Order off the mcd app. you can custom order it however you want. you have the choice to pick it up in-store, drive thru, or park. Since their systems are built for mobile ordering the system wont screw it up. https://i.imgur.com/JQ4tg7B.png also to the nonbelievers, the fresh beef quarter pounder is the best fast food burger i have eaten when its hot. seriously.
That's exactly what a Macca shill would say.
People do this? What in the fuck? Is it so hard to wait until 7PM when they're in peak time & constantly making up new batches?
