    Why not just eat somewhere where they serve healthier, tastier food, and have a less questionable envirinmental policy?

    101% agree!!

    As a non-meat eater & on the, probably 5 times that been in situation needing 'fast food' I've opted for Burger King (veggie meals) rather than support Mc D.Never given them my custom & never will!!

    But still am unable to work out the atraction to the places, as a regular feeding ground, for families, kids parties & special treats.

    Must be some clever marketing, I'm missing!!

  • McDonalds did operate this policy i remember getting free meals but this was in the mid 90's so i doubt if there is anyone old enough working there to remember!! BK is far superior

    might as well just order anything on the McScrat menu then cos it doesn't contain any meat

    This is a bit off the thread but my best voucher gaining story is that I got serious food poisioning from McDonalds and I complained and complained and what did I get £10 in vouchers!!!!!!! Cheers guys- You didn't kill me the first time but second time lucky eh! Incidently I did use the bloody things when I was drunk one night- damn my faltering principles!!

    MacD was different in Athens airport to any one in London, the Greek salad was nearly real!

    i emailed a complaint cos they alway get order wrong, not always to our disadvantage tho - sometimes fries AND fruit with happy meal instead of just ordered fruit - & got £5 voucher back. we go as son loves the toys with the happy meals so we just get those (treat for being good all week, only junk food he gets so don't think it will hurt), not too bad now they have fruit instead of fries - toys worth it. will have to get 3 to use voucher though!
