r/McDonalds

Saw a guy ask for more ketchup and the employee said he can't give any more because you only get 1 per meal. It was a dine-in order for a family of 4, seems kinda strange to be denied extra ketchup of all things. I also have to check my order for ketchup every time because most of the time it's not included

For a long time I’d been getting a single breakfast burrito every single morning. The owner of my local McDonalds decided an extra hot salsa packet was going to be an up charge. I always get 2 packets so I accepted 1 without paying the upcharge.

This was 3 weeks ago, and I haven’t been back for breakfast since. Sometimes I think about how much less the sauce packets are than the burritos, and how much they are losing from me per month now that I’m not going for breakfast most mornings on my way to work. I cannot believe more people don’t change their routine around this nonsense. The app only lets me put 1 and I have to ask every day in the drive through order time. I tried asking the handoff person about it and they said it was a new policy from management.

Vote with your wallet. Each individual purchase matters. If you think stuff like that is unacceptable, actually forgo pleasure. That’s the point I’m trying to make in this post.

Edit: it’s now precisely 25 cents extra per packet if you want more than one with your sausage burrito.

I am pregnant and I desperately needed McDonald's fries today. Tell me why a medium fry came to $5.19 after tax because that is highway robbery! Genuinely flabbergasted

(In Ontario, Canada, for reference)

ETA because i am angry!!!: ALSO my fry box is underfilled.

Wow, it only took about a month for Mcdonalds to raise the price 19.6% on their tasteless mcdoubles since this new "MCVALUE" menu showed up. Incredible.

Considering they were already raising the price of them with this Mcvalue change? This is beyond outrageous.

Stop going I beg you all. Make them feel it for once. Also if you voted for this crap you need to start working on yourself man.

For the last year, I’ve eaten way too much McDonald’s, mainly because it was fast and cheap. But at the start of this month, they removed almost every discount from the app. No more buy one double cheeseburger get one for 99 cents deal, and no more free fries with the purchase of a drink, or vice versa, whichever it was.

My normal order went from just under $7 to over $12. I knew McDonald’s was basically a cancer, taking a little bit of my health every time I went there, and I needed to quit. With this change, it’s now cheaper or about the same price to go to much better quality restaurants. Hell, it’s even cheaper to eat at Subway and Jersey Mike’s now, which still isn’t healthy, but compared to McDonald’s, everything is.

I don’t hate that they made the change. I’ve actually been feeling a lot better since I stopped going to McDonald’s. It’s been 20 days now, and I get it I mean nothing to you, you'll still make a billion dollars in profit.

My local McDonalds asks me to pull over after EVERY order. I suspect they're timing order fulfilment speed and this is a way to manipulate it. Any truth to this? And is it an endorsed practice by corporate?

My local McDonald's (one of the 3 in Brandon, a suburb of Tampa, FL) had been ruined.

Don't get me wrong, the service is great they still haven't gotten a single detail of my order wrong in over 15 years, but the biggest brag I had about this McDonald's is gone.

This location was built by Casper's Company, the franchise that opened the very first McDonald's in FL, in my opinion one of the best franchises ever, an opinion I have maintained when after working for them and being fired for completely BS reasons.

Over the years it's changed hands a few times, including having been owned by another franchisee, Sunshine, Inc.

This location has had its ups and downs, but the one thing that's remained unchanged is that it kept it's original Taylor Ice Cream and Shake machine from the 1990's. That thing never broke down. I could show up at any hour of any day and know that I could get my soft serve fix. That is until last night.

Last night I just had to have an Oreo McFlurry. But the ice cream machine was down. This hasn't happened to this location in at least the 15 years since I bought my house and this became my local McDonald's.

I pulled out of the drive-thru and went to another location.

Today, I'm grabbing breakfast on my way home from taking my son to school and on the Drive-thru window I see a sticker proudly announcing that this location is now run by McOpCo, which is McDonald's Corporate.

I spoke to a friend who is still on the managent team at that location and apparently they took the location from Casper's Co on the grounds that Casper's Co. refused to transition to the newer horribly unreliable Taylor ice-cream and shake machines.

That it had happened about 2 months ago, but they just now changed the stickers, and last night was the 35th time the ice-cream machine has failed in those 2-ish months. I just haven't really been in the mood for soft serve during that time.
