McDonald's
Reviews and Complaints

I have an issue where it has come to my attention that my daughter as well as other girls (ages range from 15 to 20). Have several sexual assault claims plus evidence proving that a married McDonalds staff member takes the number of these girls off the management to staff contact list (Staff computer), and then uses their numbers of coarse to contact them outside of work, even in my daughters case... Asking about her personal relationship with her boyfriend, suggesting she had gone around work saying her and her boyfriend had broken up.
As you can imagine, my daughter now feels quite weary of returning to work.

Why does Mcdonalds not require their Management staff to hold a Blue-Card (Australia's way of not putting pedophiles in positions that have children, such as child-care, after school care, youth support groups).

I ask those of you who have dealt with something similiar or know someone who has to simply suggest what they believe the "right" coarse of action in a situation like this.

I find myself driving through when I eat at McD's and have to fight that inner devil that keeps suggesting I pin him against a wall everytime I see him.

We are looking for someone to help us with the incident at the McDonalds Skyway restaurant.

On Saturday, April 11, 2009 my husband and I were traveling to Michigan to visit parents for Easter. Stopped at McDonalds on the Skyway for something to eat and coffee. We stopped there for convenience and knowing that the McDonalds name has a good reputation - we would have no problems.

Driving along my husband swallows something in his coffee and hands to me to look at. There were two worms in the inch or so of coffee left. Pictures attached.

Calls to Corporate and Franchisee have been to no avail. A complete run around. Corporate refers calls to Franchisee and he has a younger girl call that tells us she is not admitting to putting any worms in our coffee. We never implied that - we would only hope that the employees did not spend all day putting worms in coffee cups. My husband and I are middle aged professionals; he has been with major hotels as GM for 30 years and now management with Boys and Girls Club, I am in marketing and training with a non profit. We know the importance of customer service and am appalled number one that this happened and number two that nobody responds or cares.

We do not know what the worms are - could be tape worms. Husband went to doctor and doctor gave him s mptoms to look for. We cannot afford to have the worms tested.

We did not want anything from McDonalds and at that time was just trying to let them know about the worms so the issue could be recitified before anyone else was affected. This is not acceptable by any means and should not happen to anyone. McDonalds Corp tells us they are not responsible it is the franchisee. Franchisee does not call. They even told us the Regional would call, that never happened either. How do we get t heir attention that this is not a game. I think we speak for many other people that have been mistreated.

My wife stopped here for supper and got tired of waiting on employee's playing around inside and outside the building, she stopped there for supper after church and stood in line for 30mins. then left without ordering nothing, this is not the first time this has happened here we just left and went somewhere else to eat, it seems to me if they wanted customers to keep coming back they would do something about the horseplaying, I was in the food change business myself and these problems arrived they were stopped even if I had to cover someones shift maybe all mcdonald's see's now is dollar signs and not customer's, it will be awhile before me and wife visit this store again, a disatified cutomer gooodbye

I went through the drive through expecting to get a few sausage biscuits for a dollar cause I was low on cash and needed something quick for breakfast I ordered 5 of them cause I had my 3 kids with me imagine my surprise when I got to the window and she said my total was 11 89 I was charged 2. 19 for one sausage biscuit when they normally cost 1 dollar are they that broke that they need to jack up their prices I am never going there again ever.

Me and my wife and my god daughter went to mcdonald's by the coldra rountabout A48 newport road. We went inside ordered two big mac meals and a chicken mc sandwich. We got given our meals we sat down my wife and my god daughter started complaing that the burger and chips were cold this is the third time this has happened! This spolit our end to the day! We will not be using mcdonald's again as it an expensive way to waste food!.

Often times after work, I'll go to the McDonalds located at Baseline Rd. and I-30 in Little Rock, Arkansas. However, the last time I went there... the Drive-Thru employee told me that they were unable to take orders for 30 minutes due to a "shift change." Having managed a restaurant in the past, I knew exactly what was going on. Without saying a word, I set the chronograph timer on my watch, and went about a block down the road to Waffle House for a "to go" order. Just so happens, my order from Waffle House took 30 minutes to cook and get out the door. So, in an attempt to call their bluff... I went back through the McDonalds drive-thru, and tried to place an order. Again, I was told by the person at the drive-thru that they were unable to prepare an order for me due to a "shift change..." and it would be 30 minutes. I responded, "Yeah, that's what you told me 30 minutes ago." Stay away from this McDonalds. The attitude of the employees is often reflected in the quality of the food at this location... when they'll serve it to you!

Making a complaint to McDonalds - hit yourselve on the head it would be easier - I was promised by email I will be contacted - they just never said when, it has been a week already since the first phone call, and still nothing happens.

I see the store hygene and quality is not only lousy in South Africa - McDonalds - I'm Pukin it
I feel sorry for anybody eating at McDonalds - along with the old oil and stale burgers. Its a ripp off.

I am tired of poor service and attitude of staff at McDonalds in South Africa, FIrstly store Hygiene is very poor at most stores, secondly food quality is so bad that it makes you feel like going somewhere else - which I will do in the future. Our Family now refuses to eat at a McDonalds anywhere in South Africa.

I went into McDonalds in Waverley Pretoria to firstly wait a half hour in a queue to be served, then while placing the order I see the person putting the burger together licking his fingers while building them . His plastic gloves have the fingers missing so he just sucks the sauces etc off his fingers when he messes - while washing the floor it is no problem to to put in your hands and glab some ice - So when in South Africa - be very carefull about McDonalds, this is a regular complaint about the company throughout the country.

Always there is food still on the floor and rubbish on the tables. The burgers are dry and normally a bit on the old side, nothing is so "fresh" any more.

Quite possibly the worst mcdonalds in the uk. The staff are ignorant, cheeky, not suitable for a job as easy as mcdonalds is.
Food is always low quality and 9/10 times the wrong order is given. You can tell when the owner of the restraunt is down from ayrshire because the food standards slighty improve but they soon go back to minimal standards. Examples of these are wrong food being handed out, Wrong rolls for burgers, very very salty chips and wrong syrup to water ratio in the drinks.

I am personally on a mission to get the mcdonalds in dumfries to get a severe overhaul and get any staff member responsible for the rubbish service disciplined. If not that, the restraunt shut down.

Mr lindsay, get a grip of your staff.

For the last 2 weeks on my way to work at 11:00pm-1:ooam I `ve been ordering chicken mcnuggets asking fresh cooked thru the drive-thru, upon getting to my job 5 minutes I discover that they are not hot but warm, like being warmed by microwave. They taste like dog biscuts. This only happens with only 1 employee I feel he gets upset when I ask for fresh cooked nuggets, and fries. Well last night was it 3/8/2009 at 1:04am I ordered 2 double cheeseburger plain, upon getting to work I discovered both burgers cold. The meat not hot, cheese not even melted, the bun warm, fries warm. I called to complain. I was blown away and hanged up. On my ticket is store#7791 31 ks#14 s#1 I hope this info helps. Thank you.

I was going to complain about the Mcdonalds in Fort Chiswell Va, its off I-81, right beside the Bp. Well I was reading all the complaints that were already posted and realized it must be the company's fault itself/ Obviously if the company itself cared about the customer they would make it a priority to make sure the restaraunts were doing thier jobs. Today I went to the Mcdonalds in Fort Chiswell and at the drive thru we said we wanted ketchup, well we went through the bag only to find they didn't give us any ketchup. Well this is not a big deal, after all, its only ketchup. So I go in and they dont have ketchup in the dining area so i have to go to the register. I was amazed at what was going on in the kitchen! They had the kitchen over crowded and then over half the employs were walking around with their shirts untucked and one of the men had his uniform shirt completely unbuttoned! It was so discusting and the shirt he had under it was obviosly dirty with stains and grease spots all over it and even had holes in it. And what was even worse is that he had a greasy looking pony tale and it didn't even look like it had been combed. I was so discusted and then when i got back to the car i realized they had gotten my order wrong. So I stupidly went back that night hoping that sense the shift had changed I could get better service. Well this time everyone was dressed better and looked cleaner only they completley screwed out entire order up. I ordered a Chicken Ranch BLT sandwich with grilled chicken, well i dont know what i got but it wasnt a BLT. It didn't have any bacon on it and they put crispy chicken on it. And then they gave us a salad and we didn't even order a salad. And this is not the only day either, any time we order ice cream they are either out of ice cream or the machine is broken or something. I dont know who is in charge of placing orders but they need to check inventory and make sure they order enough to last. And they need to make sure their employs are more presentable. Who wants to eat food prepared or served by a grease ball? And any time i order their fries they are always over cooked. I think i have learned my lesson. I'm not going back. And if the Mcdonald's corporation cares they will take care of this problem. But I
think after all the complaints they have already gotten they should have already taken care of it. So maybe this is a hint that the Mcdonald's Corporation cares nothing about the customers.

Tonight l felt like a strawberry pie as they are not long on the menu. I went in to the store 8813 in Barrie. l asked for 4 strawberry pie the employee turned and said there is none before she could finsh her sentence l said l will wait.. It took them almost 20 mins to make my order, when l inquired why it was taking so long they informed me they were busy and the pies just were put in the oven. NOw l am a little angry the manger, who looks no older than 21, maybe pregant at lease l hope she was because her shirt was not tuck in and it was very dirty, l asked her why as l was an employee of Mcdonalds years ago and l know the routeen of the business when you run out more is put in when l said this to the manger she said they were selling the pies very fast that evening and one other reason was the muffins were in the oven. Now l am not sure but muffins are a day time seller so that excuse has left me to make this complaint.
The staff, as l am sure are great workers they have no idea what busy is. Please this is not a franchise store so l think it should be run more so by the book. Thank you Kathy Linton

3rd MARCH 2009 (5:PM) - This afternoon after school i took my kids (7yrs old & 5yrs old) to Mc Donalds SM CEBU City PHILIPPINES. My 5 yrs old son order a Happy Meal as I was preparing his food I asked him if he can go to the counter to get a gravy refill. So he went to the counter and ask, but then he came back to me and he was crying he said he hit his foot so I said its ok. So I diverted his attention playing with his new Happy Meal Toy. When we were about to leave he told me he could not walk because his foot hurts, I thought he was just making drama. When I look at his foot (the one his complaining that he got hurt) it was bleeding. So I called the Manager and told her what happened and showed her where my son get his cut. She did not react or say anything, I even asked her for a 1st aid kit she called her staff to get if and did not even said sorry. I was really pissed off my son was wearing flip flops that its hard for him to walk at the mall, specially our car was parked at the other side of the Mall Building. I had to carry my 5yrs old boy all the way to the car.
How lame was that! I just hope that the Mc Donalds will do something about it! You should make sure your structures are well placed and secure enough that you cannot hurt anybody specially children.

Last month there was opening of Mcdoalds here in Sialkot Pakistan. I was surprised to see that the billboards used for their advertisement used my photo, which they took from my flickr account.

They did it without my permission and they must be ashamed of it. I have uploaded the photo of one of their billboards for evrybody to review, please. Following is the url
http://flickr.com/photos/mirzairfan/3261960707/

I have original raw files with exif data.

Please take necessary action

i was handed back 20 dollars short after simply purchasing an orange juice i gave the lady a fifty dollar note and paid roughly 23 dollars for it, as soon as i realised i contacted the owner and he was extremely rude and hung up on me..
i then seeked advice from department of fair trading to ask them to look at the camera footage as i still had the reciept and correct time of service so i did.
i was then told to take the reciept into the store and i did to be told the owner would get back to me and suprise suprise the phone call never came i am a mother of 3 children and cant afford to have this happen i no longer eat there and advise to others not to either simply go to another maccas.

im always eat at mcdonalds becasue I know that the food is delicious and served the way that it is presented. im now loosing my patience with mcdonalds not because of the food but of how the managers are handling their staff.

I have a friend who is working as a crew at a mcdonlad branch in quezon city. admittedly he was not a perfect employee, was even suspended from work for 1 month due to consecutive awol's.. after returning from suspension, he expects that he would be given a nice schedule because he came from a long suspension. even before coming back he was asked to renew all his requirements thinking that everything was ok already.. he was eager to come back to work only to found out that his schedule for the cutoff period was 3 days each day only with 4 hours of work... he just let it pass and thought that maybe by next cutoff his schedule wold be better.

the next cutoff came and still to his surprise his schedule was again 3 days with the same number of hours for the whole cutoff...

do you think its fair the way that the scheduling manager is using her staff?

is it fair that you applied to work at a fastfood company thinking that somehow it can help you in your expenses, only to find out that you will only earn 700 pesos during payday?

im really disgusted on how this things could happen to people who busts their # to work hard to serve people..
