McDonald's Nothing's changed, only worse

I worked at 2341 West Ridge Road McDonald's years ago, and some of the issues that I experienced back then are apparently still a problem, but worse. Managers were rude and discriminatory and some workers, including one young woman and a shift manager, were allowed to get away with slacking off. These issues did not create the best working environment. I wish I had given two of those managers a piece of my mind back then.

The food was okay.

Recommendation: Perhaps find another McDonald's location or another restaurant altogether. Don't spend money at a business where you're not respected and given good service.

McDonald's - Mcdonalds don't take complaints seriously... Very unprofessional

Complaint number 558686 I grabbed a big mac via the drive thru at Bass Hill. When I got home the burger only had 1 meat patty and the bun. Long story short, Macdonalds Australia would know their arse form them elbow. After weeks of ongoing issues they sent me a voucher (which was less that I paid for the meal. They then sent me another voucher. Anyway off...

McDonald's Great People

The best Mcdonalds and the nicest people! I go every morning for my mother who is 87. Sometimes I end up there twice a day she will only eat certain thing and her favorite are chicken McNuggets and McGriddle sandwiches. They're always pleasant and very efficient. I love these people and there courteous, great attitudes! Must be a great place to work!

McDonald's worst McDonalds ever

This place is ridiculous; the manager was chasing people in the parking lot, yelling you got the wrong one! When I made my order plain, the fish sandwich came out with sauce. She told her employees you did it right. He made a mistake. When I showed her the receipt, she said well, it didn't come up on my back screen. At no time did she apologize. She just dropped the bag on the counter and walked away. The other employees must follow her lead since they all have terrible attitudes. Please avoid this McDonald's at all costs. Mcdonald's is not cheap, and to then get treated badly and disgracefully on top of that.

Recommendation: Run far away

McDonald's Spilled coffee

While on our way to church we stopped and purchased a sausage biscuit and a senior coffee. When the coffee was given to us through the drive up window the lid popped open, spilling coffee on my wife, myself and all over the interior of our car. While we did not seek medical attention, we did proceed back home to put burn cream on our hands and arms. It also took a while to clean up the mess in our care. I did speak to a supervisor at the Westlake La location where this happened at the time. She apologized, but that was it - sorry we have untrained people handing out items you purchased. Would like to hear from someone higher up in the organization.

McDonald's Very poor service

I ordered a 6 piece chicken nuggets happy meal n an extra small fries. No other customers were inside McDonald’s. The employee that waited on me was putting together my order n placed the nuggets in the happy meal box, after waiting about 5 minutes the mgr who was busy taking orders from the drive up line, decided to reach into my happy meal box n remove the chicken nuggets. The happy meal box had a sticker on it #139 that matched my receipt #139. Now I had to wait an additional 5 minutes for another employee to get my nuggets. after getting my order I noticed McDonald’s forgot my small fries n had to go back to the counter n ask for them.

Basically I feel I was treated very badly n felt 2nd rate since the mgr took food out of my order to fill the drive up order.

So the mgr figured I can wait longer for my Oder n the drive up customer was more important.

This is poor customer relationship n I’m very offended.

McDonald's Bring back Cinnamon Melts

If anyone high up there in the McDonald’s company is reading this just bring back the cinnamon melts, Covid is over now I don’t understand why it’s still an issue and I can’t believe you guys decided to take cinnamon melts off the menu permanently, you replaced it with something even worse. You replaced your highest selling product cinnamon melts with an original cinnamon roll that you can get anywhere else in the entire country. Please bring them back we are bagging you!

Recommendation: We need people to sign a petition, that nobody will eat at McDonald’s until they bring back cinnamon melts

McDonald's Worst store and service Store 16712.

I visited store 16712 on July 25, 2023

Waiting time at counter was more than 10 min with only two people ahead of me.

I came to counter at 10:52, then at 11:05 I wanted to place my order. I wanted to order pancakes but was told that breakfast time is until 11am. Really? They even didn’t care that they move so slow that I didn’t have any chance to place order before 11am.

Then I ordered muffin and hot chocolate . When I came home I realized they gave me double double coffee instead of hot chocolate.

It’s ridiculous service

Recommendation: Recommend replacing existing personal and train new one

McDonald's Play now ! PUZZLE !

The sensitivity and the efficiency of the game is too low
15 seconds is fair enough to finish the puzzle but not if you have a delay in the game
Such as when I want to put the part of the puzzle in a specific place it goes to another and doesn’t able to move to another place unless I put it down from where I took it and try to put it again.

McDonald's McD in Auburn ma. }#1672

This place is the worst. Counter girl had no expression had the wrong price for the double cheeseburger and did not ask what sauce I wanted for my nuggets. The fries were cold and there were no cups for the ketchup up at the drink counter. They forgot to give me my coffee I had to go back up to the counter several times and it took very long for us to get our food. Many people waiting for their orders. The staff was very slow and not friendly. Pretty darn sad. pissed

McDonald's Login system

Good offers and a good app but the worst issue is the login system
I literally created like 4 accounts because it keeps saying wrong email or password
I write the email/password i just created and it says I’m its wrong
I tried recovering my password and it says “We sent you an email to reset your password” but i get nothing in my email
I tried it multiple times with my 2 different emails (outlook and hotmail) neither worked.
Can’t get to the offers or even use the app without an account.

McDonald's No equality

Good evening, let's talk about the app specially.the app is well made and it's beautiful and everything but there is one thing, just one its the free offers you people make. I have never seen a free offer on ios but all of my friends who use android do have free offers...but actually in real calculations i have seen that ios users or apple users specifically use mcdonald's app more than android so you should get us some free offers. If this happened I'll immediately give a 5 star rate+all the other apple users.
Thank you

McDonald's Terrible

First: Has options for US and UK just to redirect you to another ‘app’ that always says “not available in your region”.

Second: The app that is ‘for your region’ is always slow and acts like it was made in 2000.

Third: There is no support or answers online for error “dcs error 40006” whatever that means

Finally: I guess if you are in the UK you dont get any deals or savings because you cant make an account online. No app No deals. Thanks…

0/10 If i could give it negative stars I would

Considering i am very tech literate and able to solve 99% of technology, networking, and general tech issues this is absurd.

McDonald's تطبيق سئ جداً

تطبيق سئ جدا صعب في التعامل و لا تدري طلبك وصلهم او لا و لا بوجد تتبع للطلب و توصيل متأخر بيتي بجوار المطعم بس ما كنت بالبيت طلبت توصيل ولكن استغرق ساعتين للوصول بارد جداً و مشروبات ساخنة كانت باردة ما يستاهل اي نجمة لو في عكس ممكن يستاهل -100 سئ جداً جداً
A very bad application, it is difficult to deal with, and you do not know whether your order has been received or not, and there is no tracking of the order, and late delivery. My house is next to the restaurant, but I was not at home. I asked for delivery, but it took two hours to arrive. It was very cold and hot drinks were cold. It does not deserve any star. -100 Very, very bad

McDonald's Just a question for the developer

What did you mean by « remember me » when logging in to place an order ? Because i have to login not only every time i open the app but if if i navigate away from the delivery tab and come back i have to enter my credentials again, what will happen if i uncheck « remember me » when i enter my credentials ? I am afraid to try it. Also the way offers are redeemed is extremely unclear and annoying, don’t know if that’s on purpose or unintended.

Addition
————-

Now I don’t have to login each time to make an order, but whenever I try to use an offer on the app, I have to re-login, if the target is to render the offers inconvenient to use, then well played, if there is some reason (which is uniquely present in this app among hundreds others) will be grateful to know it, although nobody cared to answer my last question which was ages ago, but I thought it would never hurt to ask maybe someone started paying attention to customers’ reviews, appreciate it.

McDonald's Charged twice and doesn't care

I had two charges on my account for a meal last week. When I went in to the store to show them, the gal first told me.."look, it shows two minus signs, you got the money back". Really? No, 2 minus does not equal a positive. Wow, so then some 18 year old came over telling me how a bank works and that it is a bank issue, not theirs. Not once was there an apology! The folks behind me got so upset, the gentleman stepped in and told them how poor their service is and he and his wife left. I then had to beg them to give me the meal I had already paid for. I had to ask 3 times. This is criminal! I am going to seek any and all remedies for this due to their lack of respect and customer service.

Geese, a simple apology would have worked.

Recommendation: Go to Sahuarita McDonalds!! Better customer service!

McDonald's Disappointing Big Mac Combo Experience at McDonald's: A Review

Went to Mac Donalds to get a big mac combo for my husband and brought it home to him. When he opened the package, he asked me what I had bought. I told him it was a big mac combo, but to my surprise, there were no hamburger patties in it. It was just lettuce and buns. I was disappointed and decided to go back to the restaurant to get it fixed.

When I arrived, I found out that the dining room was closed because it was after 11pm. I had to knock on the window to get the employees' attention. Finally, one of them came to the door, and I explained what had happened. He told me that it could not have happened and that he could not let me in. I asked to speak to the manager, and he said he would get her. After a few minutes, he came back and told me that she was busy and could not come to talk to me. He promised to get me another combo and make sure the meat was on it this time.

I agreed to wait for the new combo, but I had to wait for 25 minutes. I was frustrated because I thought I should have had my order first thing. Finally, they gave me the new combo, and this time it had the hamburger patties on it. I was relieved, but all I got was a simple apology and a "have a good night."

Overall, my experience at McDonald's was not great. I was disappointed with the quality of my order, and the service was not up to par. However, I appreciate that they tried to fix the problem and gave me a new combo. I hope they can improve their service and quality control in the future.

McDonald's Be Vigilant: Checking Your Credit Card Bills in the Digital Age

So, I went to McDonald's the other day and used my app reward points to purchase something. I was pretty excited about it, but then I noticed something strange on my credit card bill. There was a charge from McDonald's on the same day and for the same amount as my app purchase. What the heck, right?

I checked my app and sure enough, the points had been deducted from my account. So why was I charged on my credit card? It wasn't a huge amount of money, but still, it's the principle of the thing. I'm currently in the process of disputing the charge, but it's just a reminder that we need to be vigilant about checking our credit card bills every month.

It's not just McDonald's either. I also had an issue with Amazon charging me for four months of music service when I was supposed to be on a free trial. Luckily, I caught it and was able to get the charges reversed, but it's scary to think about how many websites and apps have our credit card information.

I mean, I get it. It's convenient to have all of our payment information stored in one place for easy transactions. But we need to be careful and make sure we're not getting charged for things we didn't actually purchase. It's a good idea to check your credit card bill regularly and dispute any charges that don't look right.

Overall, I still love McDonald's and their app rewards program. But this experience was a bit of a wake-up call for me. It's important to be aware of what's going on with our finances, especially in this digital age where our information is so easily accessible.

McDonald's No products

Went through drive thru McDonald’s in warsaw North Carolina for breakfast on 10/7/24. Asked for 2 coffees and 2 breakfast burritos, response was “we don’t have burritos “, asked for some other sandwich “we don’t have that”, asked for something else, “we don’t have that”. Never once did the employee on the speaker offer to tell us what they DID have. Cancelled our coffee and went across the street to Wendy’s, who had a full menu. NO STARS for this McDonald’s. We never did find out what they had available and the server was RUDE.

Is McDonald's Legit?

McDonald's earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds McDonald's to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 13% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, McDonald's is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with McDonald's, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for McDonald's. The company provides a physical address, 24 phone numbers, and email, as well as 5 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

McDonald's has received 6 positive reviews on our site. This is a good sign and indicates a safe and reliable experience for customers who choose to work with the company.

Mcdonalds.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Mcdonalds.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

We looked up McDonald's and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While McDonald's has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 13% of 2873 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to McDonald's. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

McDonald's Manager and employees

The manager and employees were saying rude comments regarding my large order while they were preparing my order I sat and could hear every word they were commenting on. The comments were," Big back".

If you hire managers and employees that have no respect for the customers. McDonald's will not be the restaurant I go to any longer. I will make sure I tell everyone about this location.

Not open 24 hours. Serving only Door Dash customers. Not accepting customers after 1:30 am. Not serving customers because we are preparing for breakfast, that would mean you are closed. Not serving customers because every night you reboot your computers, that means you are closed. Not serving customers because you are short staffed, that means you are closed.

McDonald's Food wait and cold

I got it online a double Big Mac meal a 20 piece nugget and a order of medium order of no salt fries and a medium sweet tea

This is what I got two medium orders of salted fries that were cold and unsweetened tea after a 15 minute wait at the door because they couldn't give me my order at the drive-thru window I called and spoke to quotation marks the manager quotation marks who clearly wasn't and insisted that we got unsalted fries
