Macdonalds - is this what passes for normal?

No - still here. I know the reputation of McD's is not that good, but I didn't expect it to be that bad!

BTW - I didn't forget - I just don't have the time to be on this forum 24/7.

Top marks to the US McD's, less for the UK.

True. We visted a McD's in Las Vegas and there was a sign on the wall saying "We aim to serve you within 30 seconds. Our average order time yesterday was 27.4 seconds." They are talking about the moment you make your order until the time you have the food in your hand.

And the items item on our 99p menu could be found on their $1 dollar menu, and of course one dollar does not equal one pound!

Oh, sorry! It's just I'm intrigued to find out what they did to rectify the problem. It's one thing messing up, it's how it's dealt with that is often more enlightening about a company...

Same way that in Eire the 1 euro menu is the same as our £1 and mainly has the same stuff...

Admittedly, the food we got that night was rotten

I find that McDonalds breakfasts are greasy, you need to be hungover to appreciate them

I went into a maccy d's in Orlando a few years ago and the meal deal was $3.59. The same meal deal in the uk maccy d's was £3.99! Never worked out how that works!

I love Maccy Dees. I have never had a bad experience and If i did I would complain straight away because they will do anything to make you happy (I should know I was a hostess there for 3 years)

I would love to go to Subway more often though but my social anxiety problem gets in the way. I get all panicky and end up a gibbering wreck when they ask all the questions about what I want.

I really couldnt be bothered sorting anything out - just handed it back and walked out. McD's aren't exactly going to change company policy on my complaint, I don't want a letter from a computer telling me how sorry it is, and I certainly would not want a voucher to eat there again.

The bite I had of the food probably sent my cholesterol levels rocketing. I didn't want to risk compounding the problem by getting into a slanging match...

Sometimes it is just best to walk away.

One bite doesn't make your cholesterol levels rocket! No need to get into a slanging match...register your complaint...giving your details, if you don't, nothing will improve. I'm not sure that it is McD's Company policy to have unhappy customers!
