So recently, McDonalds introduced yogurt into their Happy Meals. Alright, had no problem with this. It's good to offer a nutritous substitute to fries, after all. Now, I have a small appetite, so I normally get a Happy meal, rather than the adult-sized equivalent. I'm also lactose intolerant (and not the 'I get gas in four hours' kind, the 'I vomit as soon as milk hits my esophagus' kind), so I was rather pissed to find out that they now put the yogurt in the kids meals, and you don't have the option to say 'No, I can't eat it.' When I asked for a substitution, they said they couldn't do that. When I told them to just not put it in the bag, they said they couldn't do that either. So I got home and threw a container of yogurt in the garbage, and hated myself for having to do so, because I hate wasting food.
McDonalds says on their website (and by the way, they REALLY need an email complaint system. It won't let me submit a damn thing without an American address) that they substitute apple slices, but EVERY time I ask them to do this, they say they can't. At least six times I've tried, and they won't let me.
Tasha9, I was coming home from work when I got lunch, and no one in my family, or circle of friends eat yogurt. A large number of them are also lactose-intolerant. It was either throw it out now, or throw it out in two weeks when it's expired. And you really think that the way I choose to voice my complaint on a complaints board is how I behave all the time? What would be the point of the site if everyone was cheery and friendly? People come here because they are dissatisfied in some way.
Descartes, my complaint is, indeed, that they gave me food I did not want, nor did I ask for, in fact, I specifically asked to NOT get it. It's a waste of food, is what it is.
Lucky you, Brewgoat. I'm okay with certain yogurts, but Danino, for whatever reason, is not one of them, which is funny, because I believe the brand of lactose-free yogurt I buy is actually produced by the same company that makes Danino.
Tasha, I'm in my twenties, and have behaved in a manner befitting an adult. I am dissatisfied with their service, and have thus come to this site to complain. That is the function of this place. I could have potentially found someone to eat the yogurt, I suppose, if I drove around my neighbourhood, asking strange kids if they wanted it, but that looks rather sketchy, don't you think? But whether I could have or not is not the point. The point is that McDonalds claims that they cater to people with dietary concerns, and in this instance, they did not.
For the record, I said IN my twenties, not twenty, but I digress. I enjoy McDonalds' food, and have never had any problems with their service, aside from yogurt-related grievances. It's not enough to stop me going there, but I posted this complaint in search of others who share similar experiences, in the hopes that, perhaps, I might find a more concrete solution for it.
I never said they tried to force-feed me yogurt, Descartes. Absurd comments like that get no one anywhere. My complaint is not against the yogurt itself, but against the breach of company policy to provide alternatives.
Their website claims the alternatives on several pages of their official site, Descartes. They're not made up.
"We are sensitive to dietary restrictions. A crew member would be happy to substitute yogurt for apple slices in any Happy Meal." is seen on no less than three pages in the Q&A section, and on their nutritional information page as well.
I don't know what sort of McDonalds you're visiting, Strunk, but where I live, the kids meals are smaller than the adults. They contain four nuggets, while the adult has six, and they include a smaller portion of fries. As I said, I have a small appetite, owing to a gastrointestinal disease, and some times can't even eat that much food.
My only issue, Strunk, is with the breach of company policy to accomodate dietary concerns. This a website specifically created to voice grievances. Why must I have an alternative source of frustration to post here? Is it not possible that I am merely a dissatisfied customer, choosing to voice this dissatisfaction in the only way possible?
Finding a direct link is a little more difficult, as most of the FAQ's come up as mere popups, but if you go here:
http://yourquestions.mcdonalds.ca/
And type 'lactose' or 'yogurt' in the comment bar, then click on one of the three comments I found, of people with similar problems to mine, then you will find the quote.
I've only ever seen 4-piece meals offered in the kids meals, Brenda, but I'll take your word for it. Even with those sizes of nuggets, the adult meals still give me far more fries than I could ever eat. Until they started in with this yogurt without an option business, the Happy Meals were the perfect-sized option for me.
Actually, DSGamby, my boyfriend just called their contact line, and he says they told him it is company policy to recognize and accomodate dietary concerns within the current means available. The representative said the employee was in the wrong for specifically telling me that I could not substitute, and apologized for any inconvenience.
I trust a paid representative to know what is company policy and what is not, more than I trust some stranger on the internet.
Tasha, I would like you to provide me with an example of where I behave like a three-year-old. You are the one dragging this entire comment thread offtopic by choosing to insult me, personally, rather than focusing your attention on the topic at hand. Making absurd claims like this, as I said to Descartes, do nothing but make you look like you have no other argumentative skills than to be absurd, which is, in itself, rather childish.
Give me a suggestion for another meal the size of the McDonalds chicken nugget happy meal, then, without any yogurt. Because as far as I'm aware, no such meal exists in size and product similarities.
I am not blaming McDonalds as an entity, but this establishment, and the particular employee, for telling me specifically, that I could not substitute what is essentially an inedible product, for something I could eat. No one forced me to throw out the yogurt, and I never said that anyone forced me to do anything, but I was given no other option. And the proof I posted was right there on their websites.
And you still haven't given me specific examples of how I am behaving at the level of a toddler.
If I wrote 'WAHH MCDONALDS IS A BUNCH OF MEANIES' then, yes, I would accept such a criticism, but I've behaved in a manner befitting the adult that I am, and you have yet to give me specific, textual examples of incidents otherwise.
It is a small thing to worry about, I will concede that, Ducky, but it does bother me having to throw out food. Not to the point that I would call myself upset or anything, but it still bothers me.
I don't think they have the dollar menu in Canada, nor mini meals, as I've never seen them advertised. I'll ask next time I go in, though, and hopefully I'll find an employee better advised than the one who told me I could not substitute my yogurt. Also, it's not so much the purchasing price that I'm focused on, but the size of the portions, themselves.
Why don't you two take this off-topic chatter to the email system?
Well, here's an alternative to messaging a stranger: Just leave this thread and ignore him. If Paul is asking sexually explicit material of you, then simply file a harassment claim with the website's providers.
I've messaged the website provider regarding some inflammatory comments other users have made, Tasha, and the comments were removed. It even says in the rules that users harassing others, or asking sexually explicit material of them is not allowed. If you messaged them, and had proof of Paul's wrongdoing, then they would indeed do something.
For the record, I'm not accusing anyone of anything. Just offering an avenue to deal with problems people have claimed.
I really don't see why you guys don't just go to another site where you can troll each other, without taking away from the original intent of this website. Might I suggest 4chan?
So I've seen, DIRM.
Pasrof, I may be an adult, but I am not like most adults. I feel the need to reply when people address me and things I have said. Call me crazy.
For the record, though, the comments weren't ones on this thread, but on others I have seen, with people needlessly throwing around racist slurs and the like.
tasha, get some new material. The three-year-old bit is getting staler than your mother's ovaries.
Izzy had to work- that's where she's been. Plus, there's not much else to say here. The discussion of this actual thread ended someone back on page 2. Maybe page 3 if you squint.
You can look it up, Kevin Richards, they started putting yogurt in their happy meals in recent months. Apple slices, too, I guess, are available as a substitution for the small amount of fries they now give you.
Here. I was nice enough to even provide you with news articles about it.
http://www.canada.com/health/McDonald+adds+yogurt+Happy+Meals+cuts+back+fries/5161111/story.html

The one on the official page even has a picture of the yogurt there, with the rest of the Happy Meal.
And you mispelled his username. What's your point?
And I'm already in a committed relationship with a very nice young man, but thank you for playing Yenta for me, Tasha, all the same. I'm sure you're as wonderful at matchmaking as you are at rhetoric.
"And bazzar has no clue how to spell"
His name has no R in it.
Show me how I have not behaved like an adult. Give me a specific example of dialogue between us or between any other person and I, wherein I have not behaved in a manner befitting an adult.
You gave me examples of nothing, tasha. You've given me examples of things I have not said, or done, and the only instances of mine that you'd provided gave no indication that my age was any less than what I stated it was, and I challenge you to prove otherwise.
I never once said that they forced me to do anything. Their actions caused me to enact an undesirable action of my own, but I never said that they forced me.
And at the time, McDonalds was the most convenient place to stop at. Traffic in my city is terrible right now, and the three possible routes I could take home are slowed down by construction. The McDonalds happens to be on the least terrible stretch, and thus, it was the quickest place to stop to get food. I thought extensively about other places I could have gone, and it proved the best option in the end. Of course, this was before I was aware of the non-optional yogurt. Knowing that, now, I will take that into consideration when choosing a restaurant again, of course.
Who's arguing? I'm merely stating things. Arguments usually require both parties to be angry, and I can assure you that at least one is perfectly calm.
Tasha, I had packed a healthy lunch, and a snack, and ate it already, because I worked for ten hours. Didn't really feel like cooking after that. You'll learn what that's like some day. Although you'll probably be on the other side of the counter from me. Well, at least now you know that your future employers can sub their yogurt with apples.
Tasha, perhaps you should take your own advice, regarding acting your age.
Ramelle, what, exactly, is wrong with my complaint, in your eyes? In what way is it ridiculous? McDonalds has certain policies regarding dietary restrictions, and in this instance, this employee disregarded those policies entirely. That is a legitimate complaint.
Pam has a point, though. If people aren't here to discuss the complaint itself, why be here at all? There are much better places on the internet to chat, and even to troll. This is one of the lamest places to do either, really. I don't see how anyone finds this entertaining.
Because it's my complaint?
I'm desperately clinging to the hope that maybe, just maybe, people will stray back on topic.
I'm not the one who's trolling here.
You tell me, Brenda. You tell me. At least 11 pages of spam. That's a whole lot of people straying back to a dead topic.
I'm aware, Brenda, but I have to wonder why they keep wandering back to this thread. There are a million other places they could communicate. Why here, of all places?
Jesus, you people really need to go outside once in a while; get some air, maybe. Feels like I'm back in high school, with all of the freshman hardcore wangstas.
This has nothing to do with anything. You people aren't even discussing anything anymore. You're just throwing metaphorical rocks, and it's ridiculous.
Two or three isn't that late at night, tasha. In fact, most people in their twenties shift into a more nocturnal stage, particularly those who end up staying up late to work on college papers and such. I still think nothing of staying up until 4, or 5 AM, working on my thesis. And everyone knows the best TV shows come on after 1.
The fact that you read Pam's posts, and, despite the obvious differences in grammar and formatting, still think we are one in the same- Holy hell that's just hilarious.
Referring to me, Drenda, or someone else? I'm still here, checking back on my messages every so often, but I've seen nothing of interest to reply to, and so I haven't.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Hmm good point Pam, maybe it "threes a charm" or something.
The Lidman Foundation hmmm could be it hon? Might be telling how good the my3cent site is too? hmm
My3cents is one the brink of distinction.
We normally don't invite stupid cunty trolls like you to My3cents Pam, but we are gettting desperate for traffic and newbies to pick on and make fun of.
@ tasha9 - The Lidman Foundation is asking to see your moobs? No surprise there.
LOL, what a site ;)
"Paul Vance" really? LOL you wish you were him. Only music coming out of you is ###.
People that use the "C" word so much are the ones that have anger issues, hate themselfs and everyone around them. I will pray for you. Not all women/men hate you.
BTW debtor basher-Your the one that was fired from J.P. Morgan, correct?
Paul and Muffin are getting married.
h1436883 : You're under arrest for spamming.
Funny thing is, no one was even talking to the Muffin, and she answers
The muffs getting married? whoa
BTW, who are you to tell me not to post?
Freedom Of Speech here, "Blot" lol
Why should I do a spell check when your obviously doing it? Keep up the great work!
Want a cookie or a star?
Have a wonderful Day!
Pam ;)
Slim, is that what they "troll" for, nitpicking and grammer-spelling? LOL
The people that nitpick, argue, and call names, A.K.A Bulling are people that are just unhappy I think.
I'm not one to be all small the roses lets all get along, but ###! Give it a break already!
Its getting as old as a stinky muffin!
Thought this board was made for people to make a complaint, and for the members to help..if they can?
Damn soap opera here.
(How did I do grammer Nazi?)
Just read this-now it all makes sense.
"It is a kind of power rush or ego trip to be a troll. Being online is a place that is largely free of perceived consequences... an insecure person can get a sense of power online, without ever having to face someone directly. With the Internet being a world of imagination and fantasy for some, cowardly users can forge an alter ego for themselves, and act out their feelings of anger and inadequacy."
Brenda enjoys calling every one not in her clique a troll.
You are NOT in fact a person known as V
I've noticed-as well as a few others.
Heatherbirdlady's good people. But doesn't post much anymore on here because of all the trolling.
I would like to try a McD's in America... still struggling with the concept of burger and yoghurt though!

Can I ask, why are you here anyway maj james? Did you buy a BigMac, HappyMeal? A crunchy Yogart?
Wondering...dont say leave the stage when you have no reason to be here to begin with, NOR do I but have more of a right then YOU! RIGHT?
Why should I leave when the covo keeps going?
MAJ JAMES what do you want? Just tell me?
Bauls Vannyance, Why are you so worried about your boy toy MUFFIN MAN anyway? Hell, get over yourself and get MUFFINS snowflake outts your mouth-K? OK sounds good to me.
Why and who are you always up in everyones posts? Were you asked, invited? NO! So why are you here?
WHY are you posting? Didnt see anyone ask you anything, anyone...? NO
Mind your own backyard for a change. Are you a women? Reason I ask?
Because the way your so nosy you remind me of a "Gossip girl"
Every time she hears ( gets) the bell ring (a notification) she salivates. (she is compelled to respond) How sad. And hilarious at the same time.
PaminOhio has no point. The only point she is making is that she is a smelly ### troll and a nasty ###.
What have you people done to my Norman?
Count how many trolling comments Izzy has made since anyone foolishly addressed her ridiculous excuse fior a complaint. Note the post attentionwhore posted another lame ### excuse for one.
months: http://www.linkedjdlksfjldksjfldksjflksdjlfkdsjdlksdin.com/profile/viewasdfadsfadsfasdf?id=160171712&authasdfadsfadsfadsfdsfadsType=NAME_SEadfadsfasdfdaARCH&authadsfaasdfToken=wrxu&locadsafasdle=en_US&srchid=343djasklfjdslkjadljfaldsjfldksjflkdsjflkdjflkjdsklfjasdlkfjasldkjfldskjfdls324234132432j4h32kjh4k23jh4kj32h4kj23hk4j23kldfadskjfo2394djfadsjflkadjflkasd
That is correct. There use to be this one particular "Burgerking" thread a couple of years ago that lots of members participated in. The Irishgal was the main attraction.
Make me leave..LOL
There are certain people here are just certifiable and obviously have no life except come to a complaint board and call members offensive names. Try getting a LIFE. DAMN! Is your life that bad?
Its not my or anyone else fought your wife-husband, dog and bird left, as well have no job (i.e. always here) and you sit alone on a computer wishing someone would be your friend,
or ask you to hang out only to find that your life completely sucks and you lash out at anyone even honest people making a complaint.
Is there not a site out there such as loser.com mole.com, troll.com or I'm such a loser i have to make fun of others to feel better about my ### life.com?
Im pretty sure you can find something besides a damn complaint site to vent about how pathetic your life is?
Just can't believe how low some of you people are to go after other members that came to this site to make a complaint! Get some professional help...SOON!
Have a great Day. :)
Pam
And you have a great day too Pam. Brenda adores you.
You are NOT in fact a person known as V
Thank you :). You are amoung the few here that seem "Normal" Thats just so sad that some come here to rag on each other.
And yes I do come back here-I guess to defend myself-not addressing that to one certain idiot lol.
Sent you a PV message back-hope you got it? Seems like you click send but then it goes back to the same screen? Hmm
Wouldnt be the first time I screwed it up lmao.
Thanks again hope you had a great weekend.! Was really nice here-NOT hot ;)
Cowards like you hide behind the computer and put down others to make themselves feel better. Do you feel like a real man now? Or perhaps you need to put on your wife beater and slap your [censored] around?
Venice- touché. The cyber-bully I already guess lol, but Tell me more about this, heard, well was sent info on him too. Send me a private message on these two, I may have something too. Thanks!
No one likes the fizzler.
I am the Queen of My3cents tasha and you'll do every thing I tell you, if you want to continue being a member here! Got it?/
LOL Not going anywhere kid.
QueenBee LOL your crack me up...Please do take number 9 outta here, she/hes a trouble maker
Hope everyone is having a blessed day!
Izzy M. I couldnt agree with you anymore. WTF do these people do, hang out online all day-night? GEZZUS
My last post was Aug. 14th. Havent been on since and it's still going on-bullying, slander, name calling put downs.
No ### people, get out of your house or cave a little more. WOW!
"All the reviews get to that after a while, don't like like? lol I told you get off this site and take your friend Pam with you."
No not ALL the reviews end up like this number 9-its only because of kids like you that they end up being like this-so maybe you need to take your scrawny ### out & YOU leave.
Your such a welcoming member-we all should be so grateful to have you here NOT
Maybe listen to what M3C QueenBee has posted to you. Knowledge is a virtue.
Think your to young of a boy to understand. Except only know how to be a BIG MOUTH trouble maker.
Damn now look what i went and did again-gave number 9 so much attention he seeks. My mistake.
I'm sure there will be wonderful remarks now-
"Also Paminohio, the reason you don't go on all the time is because you cannot afford your own internet connection. You have to use from a friends. They probably feed you and drive you around because you are too lazy to get a job and earn your own keep, same with your made up husband"
OMG! number 9! How did you know? You know me and my life so well! Your a really smart one huh?
"There was no post on here since August 17th you an attention [censored] had to bump this topic back up."
Thats right, no posts here since the 17th! Want a cookie? LOL Thats because Im not online 24/7 looking to attack people.
Want to know the truth? I signed on here, seen there was a few notifications on MY page, YES MY PAGE so yep you bet your smelly ### I decided to read them, got a problem with that? If you don't like it don't read or post to my comments then.
Since you think you run this board-site better then the administrator why don't you contact the owner-administrator of www.complaintsboard.com and cry to him, or maybe tell him how his board should be ran? There ya' go. Now you have something to do for the rest of the afternoon, unless your not done with your homework or hanging out in your FAB, Orange county..LMAO (yea right!)
You have a great day number 9
Your right Brenda, I just have not been here, complaint board, for a couple of weeks and seen the notification at the top of the page. Didn't realize or pay attention to the dates (My bad.) So again, you are correct I guess I should have kept it zipped but sometimes its hard when you see your name being brought up and one trys or wants to defend themselfs.
Sorry, didnt mean to start this thread up again. I'll start paying attention more i.e. dates ect.
Honestly Breanda thank you for pointing this out to me :)
Hope your having a nice day.
Pam
BTW, when I ref. to "My Page" I meant when I first sign on to this board-the front page where it shows my name, Paminohio and next to it it shows "notifications" So when I first come here, I ref. it as "My Page" Not my complaint.
Hope I cleared that up.
Oh Tasha number 9 dude or dudett (LMAO) I really dont care, ok...I know you do but I just dont.
I just can't understand how you know me so well? I dont live in ohio, no internet service and whatever else you know about me is so-so dead on the spot. How do you do that, know me and where I live, know im really not married? Please tell me more about myself. And number 9, I don't think that was bashing, then again I more then likley wrong-you tell me how I feel, think because Im such a lair.
Maybe Im in prison right now for 1st degree murder, maybe Im giving birth as we speak-post? Please tell me more about myself.
Do you think if I gave you my password for this site you could update my profile for me? At least everyone would know the real Pam (Is that really my name?) then.
Thank you so very much number 9 for all your help and insight to my life. Your so wonderful.
Wow, 9, -AKA Attention Seeker- you love the attention huh-just can not get enough. But then again I'm just as bad because I keep repling to your crazy lame ### comments.
OK about "pretending" to know where you live, well I think, no wait, I know I called you out about lying on your profile as to where you live. you posted/replied to me that I was correct "Dummy" lol that its true you don't live in that country, you live in Orange county CA. (yea Right! lmao) NIOT! Now come on, lets tell the truth Tommy!
You call everyone from the new to all the dedicated older members here a "dummy" or they are or act like a "three year old" (Time to get some new matrial it is getting really old) GEZZ Let them post!You talk like you know what your saying or are somewhat trying to act educated, NO your NOT your a bully!
So you see I'm not sure, who is worse here, YOU! for making immature, non-educational comments (As well as talking out of your ###...AGAIN!) or me for replying to some of your crazy ###? As I have explained to Brenda, ( I can almost bet she will or does "Get it " number 9) the reason I'm here now making a comment(s) is..I signed in to my account on complaintsboard.com and soon after seen I had new "Notifications" I'm a member so sure I'm going to go read it.That's why your here making your comments, too, you signed on and seen you had "Notifications" "Dummy" LOL If your not worried about it why bother.
I have noticed also that if I'm making a comment to someone else here you ALWAYS, never fails or almost always have my name in your mouth..why? Are you that intrigued with Pam? LOL
Maybe i am or maybe I'm not using my own Internet service-maybe I never had a car nor payments..or did I number 9?And just MAYBE I'm not Pam. Hmmmm-MAYBE?
Wait, Im izzy too-MF Im so confussed now ###!
I couldt be some FAT, bald, BIG ### black guy that lives in moms basement (Pretty much most of my life) smoking some great ganja, and getting off watching YOU bring my name up in just about every comment! Yep you caught me Mr number 9. Wow your really a smart one.
Hell u just never know do you since you have 'caught" me in sooo many diffrent story's and-or lies?
Your right tashy poo IS a girlies name BUT it could have been Tom, Tommy, tutu or whatever at one time, right? When boys come "out" they kinda try or want to keep that first name. So, I see what you mean, you USED to be Tom, Tommy, or even Mr Tutu and now its Tasha. I get it now. The hormone pills are making you a little edgy-cranky right? OK will let you get away and excuses your lil temper tantrums this time. I don't fully understand when a man( A full grown one goes through a change like you are but the best of luck with that.
Maybe give yourself a small break from the complaint board...IF YOU can break away. I know its hard Tommy.
Hope you have a good day.
