I was a very big lover of McDonald's but I had a very bad customer experience with McDonald's Egypt. They announced that there is a promotion as follows: by purchasing an upsized combo you will be granted a free cinema ticket when purchasing another one. We picked one from the listed cinemas and when we went there, they informed us that this in only valid for certain movies which have been produced by a certain movie production company. The Arabic company for production--and we didn't get the ticket, I don't mind at all but this is not mentioned by any means anywhere on the ticket or on the promotion flyer.
This is unprofessional and to launch untrue or fake proposals it is not matching with a reputable well-known place like McDonald's. I want to express my anger and dissatisfaction towards what happened and I am expecting your support. I will be waiting for your feedback to act accordingly. Your assistance is highly appreciated.

This goes to all McDonald’s on the Westside of City of Madera. The problem is that they could never get the order right! Every single time we drive thru or walk-in and order our food we're always correcting them. Could it be that these employees are not getting enough proper training? Doesn't seem like it. And on a separate case, I love to order desserts like choc cookies. Every time I order it, they always say they don't have any and they don't put an effort to make some but other cities (Fresno) were always kind to make some with no problem. I keep telling them if it's on the menu, you need to have them ready at all times! Correct?! Why is this so difficult to do? Are kids these days getting so lazy? I just want to have these managers contacted about this and to make sure they have their food items available when ordered. Thanks for your time.

On May 17, I walked to the cashier at McDonald's located in Wal-Mart. I said, "Good Morning, how are you?" She never said a word. Then I said it again, "Hi, good morning," but to no avail. Kasey, the cashier's name, was rude and definitely not customer service-oriented. I finally gave her my order. She never said a word to me. The assistant manager, Jesus, was right next to her and seemed to condone this behavior. I asked him if he approved of how she dealt with me, and he said he would say good morning for her. Totally unacceptable!
Then he brought the manager, Francisco **, over; and I explained everything to him. Then all of a sudden, we all heard her say "** you" to me. I asked the manager if he had heard what she said, and he confirmed it and said yes. I said I wanted her fired on the spot. He did not reprimand her at all and continued to work as a cashier. I kept complaining to the manager that something should be done, and all of a sudden, she spoke again and said "** enough already." It's no big dealt.
I then asked for the store manager, Xavier **. He was not there, but I spoke to him on the phone. He said he would take care of it tomorrow and give me a call and tell me the outcome. I asked why he could not come now. He said he would not and he would call me back. This is coming from a person who should have integrity and live by his word! It's been 2 days, and I have yet to receive a call from anyone from McDonald's.
I'm a 28-year USAF veteran with a bronze star for valor, and by the way, I'm also 100% disabled/handicapped veteran who deserves a response or at least respect! I defended our country for 28 years and served in Iraq seven times, to come back and be treated like this. All this happened for one yogurt! This McDonald's only cares about greed and making money than doing the right thing for a disabled veteran.
They think it's OK for a high schooler to treat customers in that fashion. I have over 37 injuries that occurred while serving in the AF, making me totally disabled--PTSD, fused neck and back, a pacemaker, shot 7 times in war, just to name a few things. This incident cause me to slip into a deep depression, and in my opinion, I lost any advancement I was making to help me move forward in my life. They mentally abused me, which in my case is more damaging and long-lasting.
The whole staff should be fired! I defended my country just to be treated like dirt! Also, I felt discrimination against me; the cashier was white, and I'm a 50-year-old Hispanic man who just wanted a yogurt.

I was asked if I wanted some special coffee and when I said, "No thank you," some person started talking on the speaker that obviously knew no English. I think that McDonald's is hiring illegal immigrants. They spoke some English but not as well as they did when they asked me if I wanted some special coffee. They suddenly couldn't speak English when I was making my order. What is that? Is McDonald's hiring illegal immigrants? Or is that a recording? I don't think that's fair. They changed their water charging as long as somebody comes in with their own cup. Thanks to the letter that I sent in. They need to get rid of that recording. Even the lady that took my order complained about that.

On May 6, 2010, I bought 2 happy meals which were for my kids, 3 and 5 year olds. At about 7:00 pm, my girls decided not 2 eat the last two nuggets. Then they changed their mind. I gave one to my 3 yr and the other one to my 5 yr old. When my 5 yr old bit into the nugget, she bit into a bone from the nugget. Thank God my 3 yr old didn’t bite into that nugget because she would have choked. And I have the nugget with the bone that clearly you can tell that the bone looks like a small leg bone of some kind of animal. I am one [upset] daddy with McDonald's because we eat there at least 4 times a week.

Second time this has happened at this McDonald's, two weeks ago at noon and tonight at midnight. I ordered off the $1 Menu, a double hamburger with ketchup and onion only. No mention of cheese at anytime. I pulled out of drive thru and off the side opened wrappers to find two loaded cheese burgers. I went inside and told the manager that if they were not able to get me what I ordered, to give me a refund. It appears, the manager felt they could not do it right so he gave me a refund. I wasted 18 minutes in drive thru alone with only 2 vehicles in front of me for what? Nothing. Maybe McDonald's should change their name to McDummies. Diesel fuel $3.15 a gallon waiting there, as well as hungry and not getting a correct order, then nothing at all, was frustrating and angered me causing blood pressure to rise. Good thing my sugar level was not too low at that time.

I went into my local McDonald's with an internet coupon (Buy 1 Frappe, Get 1 Free for McCafe club members) from the mymccafesd.com (My McCafe Club for San Diego County; McDonald's Official). The cashier told me "We don't take copied coupons". I explained to her it was an internet printed coupon directly from McDonald's. She then got the manager on duty. The manager told me the same thing. I then explained to her that it was not a "copy", and that it was a coupon printed directly from the San Diego McDonalds McCafe website. She kept insisting that it was a "copy", and told me "it’s considered fraud to use copied coupons". I then told her to feel free to verify the coupon. She then called on across the counter and "waved" the coupon to 4 employees sitting at a table (presumably on their break), and one of them shook her head and made a pretty rude smirk about it. After that she bluntly told me "we are not going to accept a copied coupon".
It was pretty embarrassing to be accused of fraud in front of other customers and employees, and I left the restaurant pretty mortified. I would understand other reasons as if they told me they are not a participant of that coupon, etc. etc. but to be accused of an actual "crime" is not good customer service. It seems that this manager is pretty ignorant when it comes to promotions, but regardless that gives her absolutely no right to accuse me of fraud.

It is now April 29th. They have advertised the Shamrock Shake on the drive-through since Saint Patrick's Day. I have tried to order this shake several times, only to be told it was a promotion that has now ended. I mentioned to the assistant manager, and he said they would take it down. That was two weeks ago. McDonald’s continues to mislead the public that they offer this product. They do not care at this location, and they will never take this sign down. I figure if they are that adamant about leaving the sign on their drive-through menu, they should honor it and not continue to mislead the public.

This morning, I ordered a sausage biscuit while on my way to work. However, I saved my meal to eat only when I got to work. Unfortunately, when I did get to work, I come to find that there wasn't sausage on the sausage biscuit that I've ordered. My work is about 30 minutes away, so it didn't pay to go all the way back there. The workers at this particular restaurant don't greet their customers at all. They practically shove your food in your hand. I understand that maybe they are trying to get you fast service, but fast service isn't imperative if the order isn't correct. I was totally disgusted by this matter. They need to pay attention and maintain professionalism.

When I've had a Big Mac Attack, I've always ordered it no onion, sometimes extra sauce! I don't remember being charged extra in the past. Last week, I ordered the "usual" BM with an order of fries. I thought the total was a little high so I looked at the receipt. They charged me 60 cents for the extra sauce! $.60 for an extra squirt of sauce? I called the franchise owner's office that was on the receipt. They politely told me that there is an extra charge for anything "extra" added to the sandwich!
I didn't get much of a response from McDonalds Corp, just the usual "We'll look into it" email. I went to a different McD restaurant to see if they did the same. I bought two Mac Wraps, no onion, extra sauce and two fries. They charged 98 cents ($.49 each wrap)! This seems to be a bit high to me for an extra squirt of sauce, and what, no discount for the no onions? Also, there is nothing on the menu that mentions anything about an extra charge for adding anything to a sandwich! I generally grab fastfood 3 to 4 times per week. I guess Burger King, Jack in the Box, Carl's, etc. will be getting my dollars. Maybe I'll give McDonald's a try in a year or two and see if they pull their heads out.

I went to this McDonald's over the lunch hour via the drive-through. I placed an order for one chocolate milkshake. I went to the window and paid for the milkshake. After waiting approx. 5-6 minutes, a McDonald employee came to the window and informed me that the chocolate milkshake maker wasn't working and would I like a different kind of milkshake. I informed her that I would not and that I would just take my money back and be on my way.
She left the window, and after about another two minutes, a different woman came to the window, did some things with the register, then printed out a small register receipt, gave it to me and told me to sign it and put down my phone number before they would refund my money. I told the lady, politely, "No thanks, I just want my money back. " She became insistent almost immediately, telling me she couldn't give me my money back until I signed the slip and gave them my phone number.
At this point, I told her absolutely not, that I did not have to give them personal information to get my money back. She dug her heels in and said I had to do it, that this was their policy. I told her this was not Communist China, and that I wasn't going to give her my name and phone number to get my money back for a product they advertised for sale, but then were unable to supply to me. I told her that if she didn't give me my money back, I was going to call the police. At some point, in all this I scribbled an illegible name and phone number on the slip and again asked for my money. She told me to pull around and come inside. (I felt bad for the people behind me because they had to wait in line a good 8-9 minutes because of this.)
I pulled around and went inside. Now this employee had a "superior" of some sort with her. The "superior" told me also it was their policy. The first employee chimed in that if this was Walmart, I would have to do the same. I told her this wasn't Walmart, that I had not purchased an item and then returned it, and that at Walmart, I've never had to supply my phone number to return something. Again, I wasn't returning anything, I never received the product in the first place! I asked the first employee, since she was becoming increasingly defiant and uppity, why they wanted my phone number. She stumbled a little and then said, "Well, because we would want to call you and see how you are". What? I told her I didn't want them to call me and that I wanted my money back.
At this point, the "superior" employee told the first employee "Why don't you just give her the money back", at which point the first employee stood there, gripping the $2.25, clearly not wanting to "give in". Finally, hesitantly and clearly annoyed, she extended her tightly clenched hand maybe an inch more in my direction, not really offering the money back to me but still thinking about what else she could do to "win" this battle that was so important to her. At that point, I took the money from her grasp and walked out. The "superior" employee extended a "have a nice day" as I exited.

I went to the local McDonald's as we frequently do from Sun Coast Hospital ER. I was riding my motorcycle this day and went through the drive through as the dining room was closed. The person could not hear my order so I pulled up to the window and was told by the manager that I needed to go through the drive in. I said I was but was told I needed to give my order over the intercom.
All this was while he had the headset on his head. I then went to pick up my order and pulled up to the window, parked and got off the bike so I could pay and put the order on the bike. I was told I had to get back in my vehicle. I said are you kidding? I can't drive with food on my lap and I have to pay. I was told we don't accept walk ups. I could not believe what I was hearing. I told the manager that his service was horrible and that we frequently ordered from them but I did not know if we would in the future. The manager just laughed in my face and said whatever. Judging from the complaints to this site it just seems McDonald's has too much business and doesn't need ours.

Actually this has happened in all of the McDonald's Restaurants I have been to (at least 4 different locations here in Central FL). I really have a beef with McDonald's and the cash register girl/guy handling money and then turning around to handle food too! This is so nasty! Why don't you have certain ones only take orders and check out customers, so there is no cross contamination associated with handling of money then handling food/cups/ice cream cones? Being a nurse, I know just how unsanitary this is.
Just think of all of the places the money has been: the floor, peoples hand's, people's pockets who have not washed their hands after using the restroom. This is a vicious cycle of germs. Also, please put paper towels back in the restrooms so people have the privilege of washing their hands and then have a paper towel to pull the door open with when leaving. In the past, I have turned around and walked out the door because of these issues. But I guess you, McDonald's, have plenty of customers that you don't have to worry with satisfying people's real complaints. The cashier should never handle money and food too unless she/he can wash their hands in between and that would take too long to do. Please handle this matter!

I walked into the above McDonald's last night after 7:00 pm to find a crowd of customers waiting for food and to place their orders. They were not waiting in lines, they were just crowded around the register. When I finally got to the register, a customer standing next to me asked me if I was on line and when I said yes, he accused me of jumping in front of him when all I did was be on the right side of the counter in front of the right register at the right time.
We got into it a little bit, but then we both started offering the other person, the next place in line trying to be nice to each other. When the cashier finally spoke, he said instead of "y'all" standing there, arguing can one of "y'all" place your order? Well of course, I had to tell him that the confusion was his fault because the lines at the counter were unorganized and they should have the customers waiting patiently in an organized fashion and not all over the place.
Well of course, he started arguing with me until the customer that I was arguing with left and I left behind him. I told the person at the register he just lost 2 customers. He then said to me, 'so go on then' and walked away. When I asked for a manager, the other person behind the counter told me that was the manager. I just could not believe that. Also, the bathrooms are a filthy mess.

After waiting in the drive-thru for around 15 minutes, I paid for my food. While I was trying to put my change back in my wallet, the employee was shoving the food into my car window saying sir, sir and sir. I informed him that he could wait like he made me. When I looked in the bag and saw that the order was wrong, I tossed it back on the drive-thru shelf. This is when your assistant manager came over and informed me that he would not serve me because I was being rude. I asked for his business card and he refused to give me one. After waiting for another 5 minutes, I got the refund and was told that if I ever throw food at an employee again, he would call the police.
When I informed him I did not throw food at anyone, he informed me that he would rewind the surveillance tape for his manager. I would like to see this tape in the presence of the store manager and he can point out where I threw the food. After asking again for his name and a phone number, he bulked at giving me one. Finally, I got his name and the number to the manager. As I was calling the manager, I was told to leave the property or he was going to call the police.
You made me wait, you got the order wrong, you refused me service, you accuse me of throwing food which, clearly the tape will show the food being tossed on the counter and threatened with having the police called. I tried to talk to a full manager and I was told to leave or again threatened with police action. I find it disturbing that when you tell them of the rude and incompetent service, they threaten to call the police.

I am at the corner McDonalds off the G,R,V subway station near 94th St. and 59th Ave.I go in and order 2 Fish Fillets and when I get back home, the buns are hard as rock and the fish is cold. Just because you have a special promotion doesn't mean you can make 6-8 boxes of the sandwiches and leave them to cool and become inedible. You are not treating the customers right and being very lazy about it. "Fast Food" means you make it fast on the spot, no? I never knew McDonalds made food and leaves it there for a prolonged time to sell to its victims. This is quite distasteful and disrespectful. We pay for what is expected and receive something far below par. You can see the black char on the inside of the buns and the cheese is solidified and looks like plastic. Do you want me to get sick or lose my appetite on purpose? Please remedy this and do your job properly.

There are so many, but I can't remember them all. But today took the cake. I use the drive-thru mostly. Every time I tried to order my Large Original Ice coffee without sugar, I got it with sugar. So today, I thought I would be smart and go inside to order it. I told the girl 3 times "No sugar." There was a young man helping her put the order in. He even made the ice coffee himself. I was so excited to get it right. Well, I got back to the shop to put Splenda in it, and I decided to taste it first. Lo and behold, he put sugar in it. This has happened to me no less that 10 times.
Another order they have a problem with is sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. A couple of times they have given me sausage and biscuit only. Where is the communication breakdown coming from? Does anybody care about their job anymore? When I was a teenager, I used to work the window at Roadrunner and the reason I was on the window is because I had a 99% rate at getting the order right. I am not the only one in this office who can't seem to get what we ordered. When I go to Jack in the Box, I never get a wrong order, never. I am just sick and tired of the service.

I was at the McDonald's in Hollywood by the Chinese Theatre on March 5th around the hours of seven thirty in the evening. The food was good and the cashier was friendly and helpful. In spite of this, what was unpleasant and what I consider both a bad and ridiculous policy is their rule that you can stay for only 30 minutes (who knows, the sign on the wall just asked for us to leave before thirty minutes), which gives the security officer power to boot anyone out whom he pleases after thirty minutes is up. Even though he lets his friend, he is palling around with stay there longer than this (I walked back almost 90 minutes later and the guy was still there in his quiet corner, maybe he is a law enforcement, but I doubt this since he is too young, too small and not dressed for the occasion, i.e., in a uniform. I highly doubt he is undercover).
I believe that even though this policy is written on a placard on the wall, it cannot actually be legally enforced (there was no code stating so) because if it was legal, it would have listed the code that states so, unless it is a private property sort of thing. I just have the security guy make it appear that it can be and use his strong will to make it so. Plus, I believe this rule was created to not only drive out the homeless from the store that panhandle in the area, but to also prevent them from camping in the store. It might be nice for some of us who do not want to have to deal with being approached by aggressive panhandlers, but I was there acting all "student-ly" using my laptop to gather information online via my wireless, not the restaurant's WiFi connection.
First off, there were still plenty of seats for the new guests who were arriving. Second, it had been raining outside and was still raining well when I was booted. Third, the security guy hovered over my left shoulder after I did not immediately leave. So I asked him if he was going to do that the whole time until I left and he did not say anything. I then stated I did not want to have to touch him to get to my backpack that was in the chair next to him since he was standing too close in order to do that without at least a brush up. Fourth, he allowed this other guy to stay there over the thirty minute allotment. I stated I would be filing a complaint and they both thought it was hilarious. So fifth, he acted nice and professional at times, but finally his true colors came out. He then talked to the customers to them to try and convince them that he was right. He also emailed someone on his PDA.
What is troubling about this is a snide remark I heard both he and his "friend" in black state that could have been directed at myself prior to this whole incident. What is most troubling was what appeared to be people following n=me around after this incident, even though I was behaving like a decent and good citizen. I figured this out by backtracking in elevators and streets and seeing these same people try to backtrack as well. I figured that he was communicating with someone and once I sensed something was up, I tested it and was able to confirm my suspicions. So McDonald's needs to seriously think about what they want with this rule or perhaps I should say, whomever this location is franchised to if it does not belong to the corporation per se.

I was going through the drive thru and made my order which was four fish filet, two large fries and small coke. The bill came up to $12.38 which I paid and asked for extra ketchup. They gave me five ketchup packets already, anyhow, I wanted more ketchup which Kareema, the window lady, refused to give me any more saying that she already gave me enough. So again, I asked but she declined.
I went to talk with the manager who was called Donald ** the general manager. I asked Donald if there was any policy against extra ketchup, he said no, there is none and if they want, they can give more ketchup. He also took the side of his employee and said do whatever you want, so I returned the food and kept a receipt. It's not the ketchup but the principle of it. I felt I was discriminated against and humiliated that I had to talk to them about this while their customers are right next to us listening in and, Kareema walking around laughing and telling all her buddies how funny it is that I am complaining about ketchup.

I have a couple of complaints about this McDonalds. First off, most of the people that works there are very rude and very rarely I get a “Thank You” or even a smile from the employees. This was over two months of going there, making trips from Rapid City to Omaha. This is by far the rudest and most unenjoyable to take a family.
My second concern is the way the managers treat their employees, it is no wonder that the personnel at that location are less than pleasant. Cecilia (Assistant Manager) who was left in charge, while the manager (Rob) was out of town, has been going out of her way to harass employees. One in particular is Kelli C. Cecilia has given Kelli extra lists of tasks to complete, cutting her hours, lying and being verbally rude and abusive. Kelli has been a dedicated McDonalds’ employee for the last five years.
Kelli has just graduated from massage therapy school, and is starting her own business. This is done while maintaining her employment with McDonalds, but this is being made more difficult when the Manager (Rob) and the Assistant Manager (Cecilia) have both been heard saying negative comments about Kelli and her staring a second career. Kelli is to be admired, she raises three daughters by herself, she now has two jobs which is almost a necessity in this economy anymore, but instead, she is being harassed, and being made to feel very uncomfortable to try and make her quit. This is unacceptable.
Several months ago, Kelli was promoted, and accepted the additional responsibility, this included a pay raise. Kelli has seen the paperwork for her raise, but has never seen the money in her check. This is no way to run a company (franchise). Kelli has done nothing to promote this kind of behavior from her managers, except trying to make a better place for herself and family. New management should be put in place at this store, because it is obvious that they clearly do not know how to handle people or the business.

I ordered scramble egg and sausage from either platter breakfast. Alecea was taking my order and said to give her the name. There are only two platters and I said give me big or deluxe, but either way all I want are the egg and sausage. No pan cakes, nothing else. Confused, she told me to look up the name on menu.
At that point customer in back got in my face, telling and insisting her order be taken instead since, according to her, I needed to figure out what I wanted. When I told her she would have to wait her turn, she told me she was going to beat my (expletive), called me a skinny (expletive), grabbed my food and threw it across the restaurant.

I left freaked out and on nervous edge. Food not enjoyed, to say the least. I could have been stabbed and no one at McDonald’s would have done a thing.

My husband brought me a sausage biscuit for a Saturday morning treat. As I was eating my biscuit I began to chock! My husband then saw I was having trouble, so he did a Heimlich to me and out came a piece of the biscuit with a long plastic which had been melted into the biscuit doe. I thought I was going to die. The manager offered me free food. This is awful and unsafe to serve to the public! I almost choked to death!

I went to get a chicken nugget happy meal, with chocolate milk for my son. This was the only thing I was ordering and according to the sign, it should be $3.59 before tax. On the sign at the drive-thru, the options for a drink on the happy meals is milk, chocolate milk, apple juice or soda. When I got my receipt, it showed that the subtotal was $3.79, 20 cents more expensive that what was on the sign. I brought this to the attention of the person working the window and she got the manager. I told the manager that I was overcharged and she looked at my receipt and said, "You only got overcharged 3 or 4 cents." My response, "If you could do math you would see I was overcharged 20 cents." The manager's rebuttal, "The sign says prices may vary." I then told her she should change the sign.
She then walked off with my receipt, gave the receipt to the girl working the window. She came over, gave me my receipt and walked away. I was so mad that when I got home, I went onto McDonald's website and called to complain. A day or so later, I got a phone call from the owner (Phyllis G). She wanted to address the issue of me being overcharged and fed me the same line as the manager, "It clearly states on the sign that prices may vary." I had to inform her of how rudely I was treated and for that, she said I would be receiving something in the mail.
I got a coupon for a free medium mocha. I would have been happy with either a reimbursement of my 20 cents or given something along the lines of a happy meal, not coffee. I don't go to McDonalds for myself. I feel insulted by this. I have bought many happy meals from this location and never once thought that I might be getting over charged. I am mad that they think it is okay to overcharge because their sign says, "prices may vary." I have definitely spread the word not to go to that McDonalds.

Having no time to sit down for lunch and having little time between my flights, I went to the McDonald's at Terminal 7 LAX and ordered a fillet-o-fish meal. In general, the meal includes a fish sandwich, French fries, and a small soft drink. But I was charged for a meal and a drink. If a meal in other McDonald's includes a soda drink, the McDonald's at Terminal 7 LAX should not charge its customers for a separate drink, unless it is not a soda drink or a larger drink. I believe the McDonald's at Terminal 7 LAX has mis-advertised its food and taken advantage of its customers. I called the restaurant later and talked to someone by the name "Jennifer S.," who claimed that she was the manager of the store. She said the meal included a drink but they charged the drink separately because customers might want different kind of drinks. I told her that I did not ask for any different type or size of drink, but I was charged for a mid-size drink.
I was unable to finish the drink and threw away the rest of the soda. The server did not ask me what size of the drink I would like to have. She gave me the size she wanted to sell to me. The point is, if a meal in another location means a fish sandwich, French fries and a soda drink but it means only a fish sandwich and French fries without a drink at McDonald's at Terminal 7 LAX, I believe the McDonald's has deceived its customers. If the term "meal" means something different within the same business, they should not use the same term. McDonald's should have consistent terms for all of its products worldwide. Otherwise, they are taking advantages of their customers by playing word games, which is not only mis-advertising but also has overcharged their consumers against their will. McDonald's at Terminal 7 LAX has mis-advertised their products, overcharged their customers and violated the consumers' rights.

My wife and I visited the above mentioned McDonald's drive through to purchase a couple of mocha coffees. We placed our order, paid for the items and proceeded to wait behind a single vehicle. After about 10 minutes, we were beginning to become concerned that our order of coffee would be cold before we received it. In addition, there were other customers behind us patiently waiting. Having a lane divider in the drive through kept us pinned in the lane with little options. We kindly give a quick beep of the horn to make the McDonald's employee aware that there was a growing line.
We waited for an additional 10 minutes while the people in the vehicle in front of us began to show aggressions toward my wife and I. The situation was terrifying. At one point, the passenger in the vehicle got out of the car as if they were going to attack us! With recent news of people being robbed and even shot at various business establishments, my wife and I were absolutely terrified of what the car full of aggressive ** threatening to become violent would do.

If I wanted mocha, I would have ordered one. Take it back and make it caramel. So she did and asked me to pull up and she would bring it to me. So I did. It took her 15 minutes to make the other one. Then when she came out with it she had another girl give it to me with a message for her. She told me this is the 3rd window, pointing at it with a hateful attitude. First of all this girl didn't ask me to pull to another window, then she know she messed up on my order and was gonna try to pass it out anyways. I will never go to Huntington McDonald’s again.

It was very late (23:54) on 8/29/09 (according to my receipt) and after washing 50 Little League Football uniforms at the Laundromat, I decided to reward myself with a late night snack. I had 2 helpers and decided to treat them as well. I drove to a nearby McDonald's and ordered through the driveway. As I was paying at the first window for my food, a car pulled in front of me up to the second window. I asked the cashier, jokingly, if he was going to steal my order. She responded, "Oh, somebody probably has a problem with their order."
I pulled forward and then my car, as well as the other 4 behind me (that I could see), waited while a passenger from the car at the window, got out of the car, got several drinks passed to him. He then proceeded to go up to the window, lean inside and ask for free stuff. He was given 3 or 4 sweet iced teas (one was tossed out the front passenger side window because someone in the car yelled out that it "tastes like water"). The male leaning into the drive thru window hollered out "You don't have the hot and spicy's ready yet?" He added, "I should climb through this damn window and lifted his leg like he was really going to do it."
After a short wait, he decided to go inside the building and laughed while he told the car's driver to pull up so the long line of customers could get their food because he knew they were getting mad. I took two pictures of him at the window with my cellphone (unfortunately, I don't know how to send them to your company) as proof that it really happened because I couldn't believe it. As he went into the building, the car did not pull forward as asked but instead sat at the window for the guy to return with a bag of (free) food. The young lady working at the window did not even apologize for the incident, the wait, or the unprofessionalism. If the children that were with me would not have been hungry and the hour so late, I would've taken my business elsewhere. I think the male who was leaning into the window should be fired!
The sad thing about the entire incident is that the same individual who leaned into the window was seen (by myself and my son) on another occasion, pulling next to another car in the same drive thru and hollering to the person working and was handed free food. He is bad for business! He also appeared to be in a manager's uniform. Very sad! There was no economic damage from this experience. The only thing was that my pressure went up and the whole incident gave me a headache but it was a major inconvenience which will make me go elsewhere if I'm ever in that line and he comes through there again. Twice was more than enough! Contact me if you'd like to see these photos. I will save them.

They looked at us and shrugged shoulders. Two employees looked at us and nothing, so I walked around to the door by the drive-thru. Then, the manager looked at me after I began knocking on the door with my keys and stared and walked towards the other door and opened it. At first, I was joking with him and laughing it off, maybe it was just a misunderstanding. Then he said, "Damn, **. I didn't have to let you in and I told the other customers that I'd let them in, but they better not open the doors for anyone else." What? I must have heard wrong. Nope!
So, I began ordering my meal and my eyes were dry, so I blinked a lot to try and focus. Right in the middle of ordering, he just walked away. He could have asked me to hold on for one moment or ask another employee to finish my order. I finished and paid and he said, "Are you going to eat all that?" I assumed he was the manager, but I couldn't read his whole tag he had on a brown polo with Tommy ** on the name tag. No other employees were around us at the counter, but you can look at the cameras and even read his body language. He was very rude, inappropriate and needs to not cuss in front of or surely at customers and needs to be taught some CSR skills.

The incident happened when I was having my breakfast with my colleague in McDonald's restaurant nearby Masjid Jamek, KL LRT station last Saturday, 8/8/2009 between 10AM to 11AM. It was an off peak hour as I could say because there were only few customers sitting on the table next to us and I remembered there was a staff cleaner who was mopping the floor while we were having our meal. After finishing our meal, when I was about to leave, I only realized that my bag was stolen! I was very surprised and shocked because my bag was on the table all the time and suddenly went lost! It was impossible, so I reported to the restaurant manager. I requested for her to show me the CCTV. She refused and asked me I need to make a police report first, only then will she allow it to show me.
I took the hassle to report to the police station and went back to the McDonald's restaurant to show her my police report. Then, she told me that I can't enter the room due to her law, whatever, saying only she can ask the technician to give me a VCD on the clip between 10AM-11AM on the date of 08/08/2009. So, I have to wait for a week! I was really frustrated that I had been ignored and disrespected! The staff there even said it was very common that customers lose their belonging in this restaurant like laptop, wallet, etc. Oh my god! What kind of security does this restaurant provide? Customers keep losing their belonging without realizing it had been stolen and the restaurant is not responsible for this serious matter!
Okay, I was very patient and never lose my temper at all, but feeling deeply disappointed and sad that the things inside my bag were so important in my life was stolen! I was told by the restaurant manager that they will call me once the technician is back with the (CCTV copy) VCD for me. I had been following up from Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, almost everyday. Nothing. Until on Saturday, my sister called up and they said the VCD was done and asked to collect it. Gosh! I was the one who was following up and they never had the courtesy to even call me or inform me it was ready! I really am not satisfied with their services and the sense of responsibility with the way they handled my case at all. I felt so helpless with such service they provided.
When I watched the VCD, it was so disappointing. It never showed I was inside the camera, it only shows the main entrance. What is the point!? What are they trying to hide? Maybe I should not blame them, but I really suspect someone must have stolen my bag on my table. Why did the restaurant install the CCTV in the first place? I personally think it should be for safety purpose, right? Sigh. I feel so helpless. I wish someone could really help me to get back my important things. I do not care if my cash has been stolen, I just need the things inside my bag back. I really beg and seek for your help. I would highly appreciate and be grateful if you could fight for my rights!

I was highly disappointed with my visit to McDonald's near Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL on August 21, 2009 at 9:58pm. After being in class for 8 hours, I was looking forward to some good food. Me and my roommate decided to head over to McDonald's.

On our way home, I began eating the french fries I ordered and they were cold. After arriving home, I went to eat my fish sandwich and chicken nuggets. I could not believe how dry those nuggets were. It was like eating sand paper. Then, when I got to the fish sandwich, not only was the fish dry too, there was not even a slice cheese as I requested.

I ordered from a small Latino girl a Big N’ Tasty burger with cheese but no ketchup. When I sat down to eat, it was a burger in a bun with a blob of mayo. So, I took it back and told the manager, a large blonde woman. She yelled back to her people to make another with no ketchup, but she didn't tell them cheese. I told her and she yelled again. I did not like her attitude. She was rude and did not offer any apology and when they handed her the sandwich and she opened it up, lifted the bun to see ketchup and yelled again for them to make it again as she threw away the second sandwich. Her yelling had the poor Asian woman making the sandwich confused and, I'm sure, embarrassed. I also did not appreciate her lifting the bun of what may have been my sandwich with her hands which were not gloved.
When my sandwich arrived as ordered and I returned to my seat, I opened the sandwich to find a dry wilted piece of lettuce, a mushy tomato and a clod burger with un-melted cheese. By this time, my husband had finished his meal and I was too disgusted by the manager’s attitude to bother to get my money back at the time, especially because a bus had just pulled up and I heard her complaining about getting a bus.

I waited approximately 15 minutes in the drive-thru, only to be told at the window when handing my debit card to the woman that they only took cash due to the system being down. I explained that I had just waited 15 minutes behind a truck, towing a boat, and that was unacceptable due to the fact that I was now late for work and wasn't going to be able to eat beforehand.
The manager then came over and told me that she was telling everyone in the drive-thru that their systems were down. I explained that she had said no such thing. She didn't even give me a total. She just told me to pull up. And I know that she didn't tell the people in front or back of me either, because I heard their orders clearly. Aside from that, once you pull up, you are trapped. I was sandwiched behind a boat, another car behind me, and the concrete barrier on the side. So even though I knew I was late, after waiting 15 minutes, I couldn't even leave.
So in the end, I was late for work and have a mark on my record at a job I just started this week after many months of searching. And I worked a 12-hour shift with nothing but a bag of chips in my stomach that I bought at a vending machine. It is completely unacceptable and more than that, frustrating. Because of a fast food restaurant mistake, I suffer. It's pathetically stupid.

While I was serving in the Marine Corps and deployed to Iraq, it was not often that I was able to call home and let my family know how I was doing.
There was a case where the only number I was able to get a hold of was my mom's McDonald's while she was on a shift. I talked to a manager and asked politely if I could speak to my mother. She told me she was busy and could not take a call. I told her again and again my situation and where I was, and she did not care and hung up on me, even though the entire store knew my situation and that I was in a combat zone and could not just call back.
While my mom was working there, she was diabetic and had to use insulin daily and was not in a shape to drive more than needed. Early in the morning after arriving at work, her blood sugar was low. But her manager asked and asked for her to give her a ride home, even though she was not in any shape to be insisted, because he knew she was a caring person and would give in. After taking her manager home on her way back to work, she was killed in an accident caused by her not being able to function properly.
A few months following that, my youngest sister applied for a job to make some money at the McDonald's where my mother worked; and she was told to call the next day to try to get her times when she would work. She called them, and they yelled at her over the phone and cussed her out because she happened to call during their "break." Later, after she was working, instead of being trained how to actually be a cashier, she was just told to clean the parking lot and lobby while being mocked by the management.

First of all, I used to work at McDonalds on Dawson Rd about 7 years ago and I know what the standards are, and I never known any restaurant to lower their standards. See, this is not really a complaint, more of a concern! McDonalds used to be the best place to go get great prices on service and food! Although, that's not the case here! I work at Hardee's of Albany, where I've been since McDonalds. I am a shift manager there! Our guest service is $6 and the service goes right alone with the $6 burger where our guest can receive the best experience as possible! In DT or FC!
Anyway, I know that McDonalds still stands on the top of all the restaurants and guest service but, not only are they shutting the restaurant down before time, the whole menu is not being sold! From 11 PM to 12 AM, they are only serving combo #10, the chicken nugget meal and only taking cash! I was the 5th car in line and everybody in front of me pulled off because of that!
Now, when I got to the menu board, the order taker yelled in the speaker and wasn't clear. I tried to place my order and I couldn't, because I could hear everything in the restaurant and she couldn't hear me! I tried several times and she never took my order! Now, is that McDonalds’ standard? No, I guarantee its not. I know back when I worked there, it was 90 seconds from the time you hit the menu board to receiving your order! I tried to call into the store but nobody answered, so I decided to send an email! If I don't get a reply, I will call because this is not McDonalds’ standards! You all really need to step it up at night. See, when they know no one is going to check up on them, that's when they don't care!

I ordered a large coffee with sugar and cream from McDonald’s in Tustin, CA. I was driving from Southern California to Northern California and was already 30 minutes into my trip. The coffee I ordered was hot and being that my teeth are sensitive to hot and cold foods, I had waited for the coffee to cool down to a more tolerable level. By this time, as I had my first sip, the coffee was neither sweetened nor had cream added as I had requested when placing my order. It was not practical for me to drive back for a replacement coffee, so I held on till I got home to visit the McDonald’s nearest me for a refund or credit.
When I pulled into the drive-thru speaker and explained the situation, I was asked to drive to the first window with my receipt for a refund. I was confronted by the manager (Hispanic with poor English) who indicated that the McDonald’s I ordered from was "a different company". She indicated I'd have to take it back to the original McDonald’s of purchase (6 hours and 400 miles away). I then said that customer service had indicated that the McDonald’s nearest me would suffice. She took the still full cup of coffee from my hand, dumped it, and refused to offer a refund or replacement. I requested that she put her refusal in writing on my receipt or simply provide a name which I can reference when I contact customer service. She rudely declined and said she would call the police if I did not leave the drive-thru window.
At this point, even two of her co-workers started rolling their eyes in disgust (calling police for a cup of $1.69 coffee on a $9 order). I parked my car and went inside, again requesting the manager's name or ID number to reference when contacting McDonald’s customer service. I was informed that the police were called and were on their way. Upon arrival of the police officers (two police cars), I had repeated my position to one of the officers and reiterated my point that the fact of the matter was principle, not monetary gain, as I was not getting richer over $1.69. Even the officer could not keep from laughing over the matter. He spoke with the manager and returned with my refund. I paid $1.89 in Tustin, CA McDonald’s but received $1.69 in Pleasanton, CA McDonald’s probably due to price variation - but this is irrelevant. The officer stated that the manager indicated to him she was willing to provide me with a refund from the get-go, but "didn't like your approach".
Not only did this "manager" humiliate me via the behavior she extended and calling the police, but now was being deceptive about it and too cowardly to admit the truth. I had indicated to the officer that all the "misbehaving" came from the McDonald’s manager. He replied, "This is a private business and they can be as rude as they want." The officer refused to provide me the manager's full name and/or ID number, but said her name is **. The following is the McDonald’s address where this chaos occurred: 6800 Santa Rita Rd. Pleasanton, CA 94588. Store number: 11838.

The restaurant was virtually empty and the cashier still took a long time to place my order. I was having to repeat myself several times because the cashier doesn't understand English well at all. When I received my food, it was cold. The tables were dirty and flies were flying everywhere. This is a frequent problem that I am having with this particular McDonald's. I only go there because it is close to my job but I am sick of the things that are happening in there.

I went into McDonald’s with my 2 kids. We ordered 3 meals and paid almost 18.00 dollars for 3 burgers, 3 fries and 3 drinks, with my little one talking away. I didn’t mention I needed a ranch dressing for my fries. I paid with my debit card and when my order was ready, I nicely ask for a ranch for my fries due to I just remembered I didn’t ask what was told. They would have to charge me 29 cents for this.
I then told the lady that this was crazy because I had just paid $18 for my meal. She was like well I said never mind and walked off. This is stupid out of the McDonald's due if they provide other condiments to customers for free, they should be able to provide any and all but I must say I advised my kids this will be the last time we eat there for from now on. I will go to Wendy’s or Arby’s where they don’t nickel and dime their customers to death. So McDonald's has lost me and my family’s business.

For the fourth time, I have had an extremely unpleasant experience with the McDonald's franchise store which is situated within the local Super Walmart store in Fallon, Nevada. I am disabled and in order to shop, I use the scooters provided by Walmart to get around inside the store. My service dog accompanies me. It has reached the point where every person who works for Walmart in the Fallon store knows my dog on sight. They know her name, but not always mine. They know that she is well-behaved and offers no harm or insult to anyone. Several years ago, a young woman at the same McDonald's told me I would have to leave. No dogs allowed. But I have and keep a copy of the ADA laws with me at all times. The first time there was any question about it, I showed the papers to the then-current manager. I even loaned them to him so that he could copy the pertinent laws.
That law states that my dog does not need any special certification, colored leash, backpack, nothing. It is federal, ADA law. They may request information about what service she provides, but they may not ask me about my medical condition. Once I have identified her as a service dog and the service she provides, that is it. They may not require me to leave! They may not order me to remove her! But they tried. One person stood and yelled at me across a room! We got that settled. Walmart does not have any problems with my dog. They know she is well-behaved. My complaint is solely about my treatment at the hands of some of McDonald's bad-mannered, ill-informed employees.
In my opinion, today's confrontation was caused by a small, female troglodyte with pretensions of grandeur! She said, before she served me, "You will have to sit back there". She pointed to the last booth in the restaurant. I have a hatred of those three words, anyway. If someone asks me to do something politely, I probably will comply. But "You have to" is rude, "Will you please" probably would have gotten me over there. But the area was too cramped to maneuver with the scooter. So as I waited for my meal, I was parked out by a single table so that people could get around me easily. Again, I was ordered to move to the back! Finally, I was told it was because of my dog. The younger woman said "it's because your dog has jumped up on people before". First, my dog is one of those injured in the dog food recall. She had her gall bladder, thyroid, kidneys and liver damaged. She gains weight because of the thyroid problems. I don't overfeed her, as some people think. She is on a strict regimen of medication and diet. The only true exercise she gets is when she trots along beside the scooter in the store. She is too ill to have ever jumped up on anyone. She is too well-behaved to jump on anyone and I wouldn't permit it, in any case. So, the person lied!
When I told the young trog-er person that she was too sick to jump on anything, she snapped back "If she's sick, she doesn't belong in here!". At that point, I said "I don't need the grief" and a curse word, and left after they curtly refunded my money. This is the fourth time they have engaged me in bad-tempered, ill-informed behavior. I will not tolerate it! They barely avoided a lawsuit the last time. I was prepared to take them to court, when I suffered a bout of pneumonia and had to stop the efforts. I could feel my blood pressure rise, my muscles got tight and I left. But to have this kind of confrontation four times is beyond coincidence. It can only mean that McDonald's cars neither for the customers or the law!

We ordered a 10-piece chicken nugget and we asked for two sauces. The girl said I had to pay 25 cents for the extra sauce. But if you look at the picture of the 10-piece chicken nugget, it shows two sauces. You get one sauce with the 6-piece, so you should get 2 with the 10—especially if you are going to show it in your advertisement. I can go to Sonic and get as many sauces as you would like with your meal. Why is McDonald's being so stingy? This makes me spend more money than I need too at your fast food restaurant, and at this time a consumer shouldn't have to.

I just left McDonald's in Roscoe, IL at 5:15 pm. My fries were ice cold and there weren't even any left under the the heat lights. They tasted old and were ice cold. The Big Mac was also cold. They couldn't use the excuse that they were busy because there were only a few customers in the restaurant.

In a TV commercial for the new line drinks, someone is depicted as passing their finger through the whipped cream on top of the drink, presumably to put that finger with the whipped cream into their mouth. In today's environment of super germs, individuals should not be encouraged to engage in unsanitary habits.

Every time I go to either location at Patrick St. or Jefferson Rd, I never get my order correct. Something is always missing. When you call to complain, all you get is a coupon but the problem is never alleviated. Someone really needs to care about service or eventually people will stop going to McDonalds.

I ordered a number two breakfast and when she rang up the price, it did not match the sign of $4.09. I asked why this was and she became rude and insulting like I was stupid. She then goes through the order and said a medium coffee which I did not order. I told her I did not want a medium coffee just the size that came with the meal was fine. She and a fellow employee then started to make derogatory comments about me for asking why I was overcharged.
I stated that I would call McDonald's later in the day to complain and she the adjusted the bill to what I had originally asked for and was rude about changing the order to what I had ordered. I paid her for the meal and her and a co-worker made snide comments about me because I just wanted what I ordered per their sign. This same thing happened five miles away at another McDonald's and I did complain to corporate but I now can see this is a pattern that the parent company probably taught the owners and is used to rip unsuspecting customers off with McDonald's blessing.

I had noticed the gentleman cleaning the fryer when he dropped the grate from inside the fryer onto the floor. He pushed the grate around on the floor until he was able to pick it up with the clean out hook. About a minute later, he then placed it on the counter alongside the basket for French fries. As I made the floor manager aware of this, I proceeded to take my bacon, egg and cheese bagel and unwrap it when I noticed that the bagel was green molded. I then took the sandwich back to the counter to get my money back and make the store manager, Leslie, aware of what was going on with both incidents. My colleague, Ed **, was waiting for me to lose my mind because everywhere I go, these types of thing just happen to me.

My husband and I are both middle-aged professionals who travel from Wisconsin to Ohio and Michigan to visit aging parents. We stopped at the McDonalds on the Skyway in Illinois around noon on 4/11/09. My husband was driving, drinking his coffee when he swallowed something. He gave it to me to look and I did. There were two worms in the coffee on the bottom and droppings. Of course he got sick. McDonalds on the Skyway is a high-profile restaurant and I am concerned that other people have gotten worms in their food or drinks. We felt comfortable stopping there due to McDonalds’ reputation. This is a franchise store and they are not abiding by the health guidelines of Chicago.
My husband was nauseated Sunday morning. We did not go to a doctor, as we need to have someone test the worms so we know what they are. I have photos, etc. The franchise store had a young girl call who said she was new and really didn’t know what to do. The second young girl who called said she was glad husband was feeling ok and said goodbye. I am appalled that McDonalds can get away with this. It ruined our entire Easter weekend and of course, we would never patronize McDonalds again.

My son's wife worked for McDonald's at two locations. She went to one store to get her W2 form, but when she went to the other, she got the runaround. We were finally sent to the main office in Anderson. We were told that it had been mailed and we would have to pay $5 to get a copy. We never received it and don't think we should have to pay to get another one. This is their responsibility. We have no way to know if it was really mailed. We were told they would order another one and it should be in on Tuesday, and we could pick it up after paying the $5. There is no guarantee that it will be in and we are running out of time. I know $5 is a small amount, but it is the principle of the situation. I thought it was their responsibility to get these to the employees before 1-31-09.

On 4/5/09, we went in to eat while traveling. This was the most filthy McDonald's I have ever seen. The dining area was worse than most service station rest rooms. When my food arrived, the box had a greasy hand-print on the top. There was something black growing all around the drink machine, and there were cigarette butts and puddles on the floor. I didn't eat the food because I was afraid to - I simply left and went elsewhere. But this place is a public health menace!

Over a 5-week period, the McDonald’s in Saginaw, MI on Tittabawassee across from the Fashion Square Mall has had my order wrong, forgot something, or just had bad quality food. I stop there at 6am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on my way to dialysis. I order the same thing each time, 2 egg McMuffins with the egg folded and an orange drink. One morning, I got the eggs not folded. Another morning, they gave me sausage muffins. Another morning, there was no Canadian bacon in the muffin. Another morning, the Canadian bacon was so dried up I couldn't bite through it. Another morning, the muffin was so burned I couldn't eat them. And another morning, the orange drink was orange colored water.
I'm pressed for time to get to dialysis so I can't go back to get it corrected. A lot of times I go to McDonald’s to get the orange drink because I’m getting tired of carbonated drinks. But I have seen it where they are serving the Hi-C orange tasting like water for 2 weeks in a row. I complained to the person at the window, and he told me his manager tells them to serve it anyway. This makes me not want to give my business to any place that thinks that way and allows their people to make these mistakes this often. I'm thinking of not going to McDonald’s anymore.

It's just an ongoing problem that I feel is a problem at the same McDonald's in Sierra Vista. I actually go to many McDonalds in Tucson without the same problem. I ordered a standard Big Mac meal and upgraded to large. The only problem is that when you get your order, the fries are like half an order. I do realize if I was on a diet, this would be good for the diet but as I told this to the shift manager, he explained that if the box is squeezed tightly, the right amount is in that large McDonald's box.
I just stated that I'm 48 years old and don't recall half an order or when the box is opened naturally. Anyway, I'm sure you get the idea. The only problem was I asked if he could give me a full order. He snapped the box from my hands and accidentally knocked over a few boxes of forks, etc. that were on the counter. He proceeded to refill it. What's bad is he did the same exact thing and the box was 2-3 inches below the top full of fries. Anyways I didn't eat the fries and finished the Mac and again vowed to myself never to come back at this particular McDonald's. I called the franchise number listed on the receipt and there was no message so I just assumed and left a message.
