Beware Mcdonalds free coke glasses

Last sunday, 4 days into heavily advertised promotion, I ordered 6 large meals but was told no glasses were available. I asked for a receipt so that I could collect them when new stock arrived. The manager was fetched and he told me this was not possible. I would have to return and buy more meals. I think this is unfair and contacted Mcdonalds customer services. Their get-out clause is the phrase 'while stocks last'. the moral is, visit on a Wednesday or as near as possible, [or check store stock delivery day], for best chance of promotion goods. I changed my order to regular! :mad:

    If you were so vexxed, I would have cancelled the order straight away.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    I would have cancelled the order too, but then I wouldn't buy the rubbish they sell unless I was really hungry and no where else to go

    but they're not free are they, you had to pay extra for a large meal where as after your were happy with just a regular.

    Now me i like McD but 6 meals just for you seems a bit much :)

    I would not have, I would have waited untill it was all in front of me and left without it.

    And said I will come back when the glasses are here.
  • I would have left it on the counter as well. Everytime they have promotions where they give away something for free, there is always a problem.

    As you usually pay before they fetch the order that would have been a daft move!
