McDonald's
Reviews and Complaints

On Sunday, January 8th, 2012, I went into Radioshack in Houston, Texas, across from Mcdonalds to purchase DVD-r disc but I had questions. When I walked in, I saw 3 employees standing around in conversation and another in normal clothes sitting on the counter. When I asked for assistance, one of the employees, , came over and gave me complete attitude for interrupting the conversation she was having with her friends. She constantly rushed me and once I asked her the question, she went over to another employee and said “he needs your help, ” basically brushing me off.

I stood there for another 3 minutes waiting but they went back to their conversations, so I decided to purchase something else and when I got to the register, she snatched my item from my hands and completely lacked courtesy. I’ve been an consumer of Radioshack for some years and never will I again step foot in that particular one unless some disciplinary actions are made to correct the incompetence apparently abrupt there.

Please I need somebody help me with this, I was working at this McDonald and I just got fired because I got sick… This is stupid, I can’t understand what’s going on with people, …… Well I went to the doctor and the doctor told to the nurse that call my job (McDonald) because I wasn’t able to work, and when she called the supervisor told to the nurse that if I was not there in 15 minutes I will lose my job. Now I want somebody to explain this to me how you can get fired because you got sick, just wanna say I will take this seriously because we are not slaves, , , , we live in United States of America a free country … If I gotta talk to the congress or the white house I will …..

Mcdonalds head office: it was a fine day when my girlfriend and I decided to have breakfast in a nearest mcdonald’s branch. We ordered the usual breakfast meal and eat while having conversation. It was my first time to eat in that particular mcdonald’s branch. After having meal there was some hint taste of coffee in my mouth and got thirsty to ask for water in a cup over the counter. Mcdonald’s provides a clear cup of water with ice and for being thirsty, water was quickly drunk. The water tasted and felt different as anyone would swallow, as substance pass through the throat, it felt hot with a strong scent of chlorine followed with an awful bitter taste.

Most customers reacted on how the water tasted and quoted similar detailed words, also, unhappy on how the situation was handled from mcdonald’s point of view. It was the first and would be my last to eat at mcdonald’s who serves water with sanitizer and change my impression and experience as a customer.
I was traumatized for what had happened. I would do whatever it takes to encourage my relatives and friends not to try mcdonalds that serves toxic chlorinated water. Hence, the owner wanted to pacify the situation by meeting in a mall restaurant, owner was not sincere in being apologetic. Instead, he was rude and displayed words of alligations in a raising voice.

We kept coordinating and assured us movement on the case. Year is already 2012, untill now we had never recieve any update as promised, and have decided to elevate my complain by escalating the matter to mcdonalds international.

Mcdonald’s had always been my most favorite fast food since I was young. It saddens me personally to know that mcdonalds a renowned reputation, are being wreck by a mere branch in the philippines, because of the substandard service and sanitation control. We hope to resolve this issue and have proper closure between two parties as coordinated to mcdonalds head office to handling the situation accordingly.

I would like to complain regarding McDonalds Mutiara Damansara Drive-Thru.

In the drive-thru:-
I ordered 2 Horlicks McFlurry and paid MYR10.60.
When I wanted to collect, I was given a wrong order of 2 Oreo McFlurry and wanted to change it to my right order.
McDonalds staff demanded I Pay an additional MYR1 for the Horlicks McFlurry.
I did not want to pay and wanted a refund but they did not refund me.
So I am out RM10.60 and no Horlicks McFlurry.

I then proceeded to Mcdonalds drive-thru Centrepoint, Bandar Utama and Ordered 2 Horlicks McFlurry and only paid MYR 9.55 for it.

This brings up the question:-
Why is Mcdonalds Drive-thru Mutiara Damansara prices are higher for the Horlicks McFlurry (because I paid MYR10.60 vs. MYR9.[protected]@Centrepoint Bandar Utama) and also was demanded to pay an additional MYR1.

I stopped by the McDonalds at 1501 Keowee St Dayton Ohio as I do a couple times a week for breakfast on the way to work. I ordered off the dollar menu as I normally do. Ordering a Sausage McMuffin no Egg the lady that took the order(Which as with every morning I stop in is very friendly) told me as normal my order was a dollar. I pulled to the window and paid with a ten dollar bill and was given change. I pulled to the next window and realized that I had only received $6 and some change. I just figured an honest mistakeand I looked at the receipt and was charged for Oatmeal(another honest mistake) I spoke with the woman at the next window and told her the problem and she took the receipt and change and made a correction bringing me back another amount. After looking I now had $7 and some change. I told her that what I had ordered was off the dollar menu and she said she wasnt sure and checked with another person that I assume was a manager and she said no that it wasnt on the dollar menu. I tried telling them that I had just stopped in on Thursday and purchased the same thing and was only charged one dollar. She said they must not have charged me right. Needing to get to work I decided to leave and called to speak to the manager after I got to work. I tried explaing what had happened and she tried telling me that I had not ordered what I had said I did. I order the same thing every morning. Only changing with maybe ordering a hashbrown to go along with my order.
Below is the only response that I received about being over charged

Everytime I go to McDonalds, nothing is ever right. My food order is always wrong, the employees are rude, the service is slow. The fries are never fresh, I always have to ask for fresh fries, and they make me wait for them. Where do you find these people, McDonalds? Certainly you can find people with at least a 2nd grade education to work here. I really just cannot believe that McDonalds is even still in business. My word! :(

Worst of all, you even try to complain about the service they are ready to call the cops on you.

I tried to complain. Since my husband works at Walmart Home office and that usually gets people to treat me better I told them that my husband works closely with the CEO of Mcdonalds. This is when they told me to leave I was blocking the drive thru. I refused and they refused to listen to my complaint because I was using profanity.(I know this was wrong but I was angry at the world.) They threatened to call the police on me even though I claimed my husband worked close to the CEO.

On drinking my milkshake, I couldn't get the last bit out so took my top off to get to it, and saw something black inside on closer inspection discovered it was a fly, I then took it to the serving point to show the manager, who told me it had just gone in there, to which I replied no it wasn't as I had only just opened the lid on it, to which he replied he would give me a fresh one, which as you can understand I refused the offer as I was feeling physically sick, he then offered me a voucher which I refused as his whole attitude was not how this could of happened or how he would deal with the problem, but it had just gone in there, if that was the case I would of gone up before finishing my drink in the first place, I have been there many occasions over the last few months and have had no problems, but I will probably not be going back to a mcdonalds outlet again in the near future as this was not dealt with properly and also made me physically sick after discovering a fly in there and will find it hard to accept not all outlets are the same.

I went to McDonald subang parade last Sunday to have my fish filet burger. Fish filet has been my favorite burger for a long time and I even had it for breakfast sometimes. One thing about me is before I start to eat my burger, I will make sure the meat, cheese and breads are arranged properly. All the times, I have been doing that and all the times I am very happy and delighted to see a full piece of meat, a full piece of cheese and of course the breads.

But on last Sunday, I was surprised that the cheese IS NOT EVEN HALF PIECE SIZE on my burger. But it didn’t cross my mind at all to make any efforts for a complaint, as I thought that it happens sometimes. And I happily finished my meal on that day. And I have been sharing this news to my friends and they told me that I should make a consumer complaint.

But today I wrote to you not to make a complaint but I wanted to share with you how i have felt and suggested the principal to checked all McDonald’s outlets whether they are genuinely selling the products for the right price? It might be true that this outlet has been selling to customer with only half a cheese all this while?

Perhaps you should do a spot check to ensure that they don’t cheat your loyal customers. And perhaps too, that everyone reading this, should make the efforts to check that they don’t get cheated.

I run a daycare as I drove to your McDonald 4514 Telegraph avenue Sept. 9, 2011 with a van full of hungry children. The drive thru was closed. Yes, I undestand the truck has to unload and supply food however he/she should park else where. I sat 30min. Waiting and observing hoping it would open. I have 20 children which I wanted to feed while on our adventure to our field trip ages 1-5 I didnt want to take them out to much work just eat on the run. We do this on Friday’s.

As, I waited and began typing this on my laptop truck still there business was extremely be lost. At least 40 or more cars left. The lady next to me couldnt get out she was an older lady need an orange juice diabetic sugar low. I offered her a piece of candy and fruit I had. I couldnt go in for her I had the children which werent mind. I called several times to ask when will the drive in be opened no answer. So just a bit disapointed.

I am a regular at the Mcdonalds in Kingston Ont on Gardiners Street. Last night on Thursday April 5th, I was dropping in to get my usual after work meal and was shocked to see that the whole store was over run with youth. The lobby was full and there was a particully large, loud and slightly violent group of them hanging around the front dorrs, blocking other customers from entering the location. I decided that I would just go through the drive thru as I did not want to have to deal with this. But unfortunatly I could not avoid them, their were a few cars ahead of me, but the whole drive thru was over run with yet more teenagers, who were clearly under the influence and blocking the flow. As I was sitting at the window waiting for my order, finally after all the kids moved, stopped screaming and acting out, I could see and hear them inside as the server left the window open. I could clearly hear them calling the staff outrageous things that I have not heard since I myself was in hightschool. I sat and watched as they would try to walk behind the counter and bully the staff into giving them food. Once I finally recieved my order adn pulled around to leave the location, I noticed that the group outside had gotten bigger and more crazy. They started to throw drinks and things, screaming at the staff, and starting to involve the normal customers. I witnessed them almost hit another customer with their drink. I am normally not a complainer but I just so happen to notice that this is a weekly occurance. Every weekend that I go to this location I am greeted by massses of rude, drunk teenagers. and I would just like to ask... when is Mcdonalds going to deal with this? I understand they are trying tomake money and so on, but I as a loyal customer should not be scared out of a restaraunt or to enter one, and the staff sure dont deserve to be treated like this repeatedly. McDonalds really needs to come up with a game plan that involves the saftey of the customer and the Staff who work there over night. I am really dissapointed wwith the fact that anyone is put in that position and that it had carried on this far. Mcdoanlds if your going to be open 24 HRS, you really need to consider some sort of solution to this problem. Quite frankly... its REDICULOUS.

We called mcdonalds at 11 PM to order our favorite meals and we told the agent that we have children very hungry and we need the order ASAP as they have schools tomorrow early, the order came at 12 AM and after 2 complaints with Customer service then we found the food not fresh and cold
We return back the order and we refused to pay money.
After referring to call center we asked to speak with the branch manger and we need a compensation as my children went to sleep without dinner but with a bad way he told me the manger will call u but nothing done
The branch is el haram branch gizah and it is near from my home
So I need any one to call me as I will complaint at mcdonalds international as I am very dapperest my number [protected]
Thanks

I found bits and peices of bugs in my french fries. I went to the manager and showed him. He said" ew You want more? Or what"? I said" I'd like my money back i'll go somewhere else." He didn't seem like he was altogether in the conversation. It was like he didn't care and that he looked at it and shrugged his shoulders and threw it away.

When I left I told him" it's a health code violation and you can get shut down for that mess."

After a long days work i decided to go to McDonalds to get something to eat because i was tired and didnt feel like cooking. I sat in my car and ate in the parking lot, i just didn't feel like getting out. It kept feeling like i was waisting my sweet tea but everytime i checked the lid it was secure. When i got home the complete bottom of my styrafoam cup fell out on my carpet, work uniform, and shoes. I called the manager of McDonalds to let him know what happened, and he kept speaking really fast where as i couldn't understand him (he sounded hispanic over the phone). But every time i asked for the number to the corporate office its funny he could speak very slow and clear. I was very upset as i was already tired from work and now i have to get on my hands and knees to scrub carpet, i have to wash my uniform, and i have to clean my gym shoes so they wont be sticky from the sweet tea. Way to go McDonalds. I am VERY VERY VERY disappointed and insulted by the way i was handled by the manager.

American and Canadian dollars are the same in value yet most items on the menu at McDonald's are higher in price in Canada as compared to most McDonald's in America. I really do not understand why the Mc d's corporation has not established a price sealing for their products especially since the food is prepared and distributed right here with in Canada not to mention the 13 % tax on top which most all Canadian have to pay. So why are these American companies who have sold their rights to Canadian companies (eg: home depot to "the home depot") allow this and why has our Government not stepped in to stop the abuse of pricing in Canada by corporations?

***A VERY BAD REVIEW/BAD EXPERIENCE from the perspective as a first time older job seeker through your doors at the McDonalds Restaurant in Truro Nova Scotia Canada (Robie Street) recently.***

I am writing as a first time job seeker walking through McDonald's Restaurant for the first time in applying for a job as a Team Leader/Shift Manager Position in Truro, Nova Scotia Canada recently...This McDonalds called me at least 4 times and I kept returning calls...and finally I connected with a Manager that asked me to come into Truro which is 45 to 50 minute drive from where I live out in the Country. I was told at the Interview when I arrived that the Position had already been taken...I was wondering why I was not told this in an earlier conversation with this Manager as it costs time and money for fuel to come into town to be told this?...I was also told that owning my Restaurant/Pub (I was short order cook as well) in Calgary, Alberta experience in my past was NOT relevant for today and I would need ALOT of training!...I always thought that McDonalds was an Equal Opportunity Employer with NO Age Discrimination and was offering flexible shifts...but this is NOT the case in Truro Nova Scotia...as I was asked what shift I would like and I said day shifts because my husband and I would be sharing a vehicle coming from the country into Truro...she said I would have to work a midnight into the morning shift so... so much for flexible schedules?...Yikes!...and then to add insult to injury she laughed and said there are definitely NO offices here... so my 20 + years in office/assisting/management and Owner of a secretarial service in Calgary.. I guess was definitely NOT a RELEVANT experience!...My question is: Why call me in the first place if they feel I do not have the qualifications needed?...What is wrong with the Recruiting Manager/ Human Resources Interviewer where she should determine ahead of time if I have qualifications needed and why waste my time and money as well as her time?...This is one of the WORST job interviews I have ever been subject to in all my 40+ years of working and definitely not a positive experience!...I feel this Recruitment Manager needs ALOT of training herself!

I have enclosed my Resume below... that was similar, , , to the one sent to McDonalds and I feel I have some worthy job skills?... and so one can see what I mean...(I have not disclosed my phone number or references as I do not want this information posted all over the Internet.)Thank you.

***RESUME COVER LETTER***

To: Human Resources Department
Nova Scotia

Attention: Human Resources Department

Please consider my enclosed Resume for an Office Administrative Assistant/ Manager/Other Work Position with your Company.(I had actually applied to a Team Leader/Shift Manager Position.)

One of my past Employers was Advanced Mobility Products Ltd., where I worked as an Administrative Office Assistant (Office Manager) in Home Health Care for more than 5 years with their Reps, the Disabled (Children and Adults), and the Elderly(Seniors). I was very familiar and dealt with these funding sources on a regular basis such as: the various Child and Adult Ministries in BC (Local and Provincial), DVA (Department of Veterans), WCB in BC and Alberta, ICBC, MS Society, Pacific Blue Cross, and Sun Life.

I was in charge of accounts payable, accounts receivable, purchase orders, bank deposits, customer service, answered various inquiries over the phone or in our store daily, scheduled daily appointments on a large white board for the Repair Technician, stocked and sold a variety of medical supplies and I was also the Nanaimo Branch Payroll Liaison to our Head Office. I feel I am a very organized, hardworking, dependable, loyal, innovative, accurate, creative, positive, cheerful, self-motivated, mature, multi-tasking professional individual.

I feel my completion of an Office Technology program combined with my Administrative Office/Manager work and consulting experiences such as: assisting clients with marketing, sales, customer service, public relation skills, and being an Owner/Operator of my own neighborhood Pub/Restaurant would be very helpful skills to have for a position in your company. I feel I am very “people oriented” and have always had a good rapport with staff and clients over the years and I have always been considered a “hard worker” in my own business or in working for another company.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience for a personal interview. I feel I may have the many skills required for an Office/Other Work Position with your Company. If you need more information please do not hesitate to contact me by phone: [protected] or by email: [protected]@hotmail.com.

Sincerely,

i had a "promo" coupon for one "free" mcgriddle with the purchase of another mcgriddle. turns out it wasnt free at all. the cashier charged me separately for the mcgriddle, the drink, and the hash brown so my total came to be $4.79 instead of $3.99 for a meal. i basically paid an extra $.80 for a free mcgriddle. i am writing a letter to corporate. calling corporate and posting this information where ever i can find. mcgriddles are my favorite mcdonalds menu item. and the ONLY item i get outside of fries, but because of this "promo" i am no longer eating there again. also, i paid an extra $1 for your fundraiser, but now i am questioning the validity of that.

Has everyone heard the new radio commercial? McDonalds states that eating their new McBites is less risky than petting a pitbull! This is implying that pitbulls are unsafe and that their feces marinated, chemical filled, Highly processed, flash frozen & fried balls of cancer are safe! What an abomination! I demand they apologize at once for insulting such a beautiful & loyal dog, not to mention pitbull owners.
