    The only way you get me into a 'McDonalds', Is at gun point

    Ok so you don't like McDonalds. We've been expecting someone like you to come along for quite a while now.

    I refer dissenters to post 6. This thread isn't about whether or not one wants to eat at McDonald's. It's about customer satisfaction and consistency of product. Boring people to death with "I wouldn't eat there" comments isn't really contributing to the thread.

    I don't eat there often, but it's not bad when I do.
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    I mostly agree it's consistent, but obviously you do get your bad experiences. My one closest to work, Picaddily Circus McDs got my order wrong twice in one go. I asked for McChicken Sandwich NO mayo. Went downstairs to eat, it had mayo on. Went back waited for another one, opened it straight away, there was mayo on it! Silly people. That is the most common mistake for McDonalds in my view. But everything else I order is usually perfect.
  • last mc D I visited gave us dried up cold inedible food(battlefield shropshire), didnt realise until we got home, phoned but manager was not available, emailed Mc D head office who contacted manager and who then phoned me and he could not give a t**s.

    resolved never to eat there again and went to burger king, yes fast food but good if you are out and hungry and beats McD 1000%. so really I owe Mc Donalds a thank you for showing me how much better their competitor is.

    Sometimes age just shows up all by itself ;)

  • The McD's in Malaysia and Singapore did not make milkshakes anything like the ones back home. :( However, after eating curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I did opt to walk a few miles in the blazing heat to just have something bland!!

    I also ate the worst McD's in Chicago, first and only time I've ever thrown a cheeseburger in the bin. I ate at the "rock n roll" McD's too with the walking Beatles in the middle, that was fun. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_N_Roll_McDonald's)

  • Well I'm loving it or hate it they were recognised for using only local produce and not adding much apart from salts and pepper to their burgers.

    I also like the fact that they have added calories to their menus and its amazing that large fries have more calories than some burgers!

    As I don't eat meat my "McRib moment" is when they introduce cheese dippers twice a year in summer and now near Xmas cheap and tasty mmmm.

    Shame the burgers never actually look like the pictures on the menu... :)
