McDonalds Voucher

Comments

  • My advice is to throw it away and get yourself some proper food. Apples, bananas, fresh veg - are all available at many stores these days.
    Oh get off your high horse!
    Just because someone eats Mcdonalds, does not mean they do not eat all of the above too...
  • You are going to get crap anyway...so the question is void.
    It is not void at all

    Horse - McDonalds - how appropriate!

    I take it you don't see the irony in the original question?
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    Usually they make the food in bulk and it sits waiting for someone to order it. So unless you go at a quiet time or order something special (eg ask for no gherkin) then it was made before they knew about your voucher. I suppose it is possible they could alter a drink, as they're poured when you ask for it, but you can see them do that.

    Thank you for this comment. I do not have to explain to anybody - but considering I am a single mum - I have tried to get my son to try all sorts of different foods. His friends actually take the mickey out of him, because he likes veg, seafood and different things. But I have encouraged him not to be a sheep and enjoy trying different types of food.

    Oh dear - hang me for the odd McDonalds!

    Thank you for that info
    I just did not want to give the voucher, and then place the order and get something that had been dropped on the floor earlier :(

    OP, I believe it is beasue they have to process it differently through the till.

    If you are that paranoid that they will serve you something from the floor, don't bother going.
    Best Regards

    They probably have lots of people with vouchers for various offers and as it is not their money, they are just going to serve you the "next" burger etc. I wouldn't worry at all.
