Customer service
I came to McDonald's today and placed 2 orders. One of the orders was correct but the other order was placed wrong and once I realized I came back around the line to explain the situation. Although we weren't missing the food we paid for I tried explaining the situation to the person on the headset. I told them it was rung up wrong and we need to get the...
Read full review of McDonald'sVery poor service, long wait time, old food, items missing
I never expect gold-standard service form McDonalds. It's a fast-food mass producer with a bad reputation that hires unskilled teenagers. However, this experience was next level.
Sunday 17 Jan, 21:30(ish) @Belconnen drive-thru: I ordered a large El Maco meal and a single quarter pounder.
I was immediately told to wait in the the bays - with neither a please nor a thank you - to receive my order.
When it finally came, the person came to my passenger side window when they could clearly see I had a seat full of groceries there. I had to lean over my groceries and roll the window down. They handed me the bag and left without saying a single word.
There was no drink, there was no shaker seasoning or bag, and the fries were old and saltless.
When I drove back around to address these issues the duty member brought me my water but when I asked about the shaker seasoning they said they were out. I explained that there was no signage to indicate this, nor was I told about this before or during payment. When I pointed this out they shrugged and stared at me in silence. She literally shrugged me off.
It became awkward quickly so I left, furious and deeply unsatisfied.
Desired outcome: Full refund/free meal + some form of apology from a McDonalds representative.
25 minute wait gave my food to car in front of me
There was no one in line behind me I did my order though the drive thru. Get to 1st window they ask you again to list your whole order because they are dumb. The 2 way drive through was the worst invention ever it makes things more confusing for idiot employees. Then get to second window still no one behind me but they ask me to pull up when there's already a car waiting because they are so slow. Then they come out gave my order to the car parked in front of me at the drive thru waiting line which is not even a normal thing. Then they gave the person behind me their order. They then came over and said they would give me extra hash browns or something because they had to do the order all over again. My children were waiting for 25 minutes for breakfast. Then they finally come out with the food nothing extra and no butter for the hotcakes. Miserable morning thanks to your [censored]ty staff. They deserve to all be fired and I'm going to tell anyone I know not to go to that specific one. You guys don't even open the restaurant inside it's [censored]ing [censored].
Desired outcome: Money and apologies
I am completely
On the 16/1/21 I've ordered a takeaway from just to eat. On the arrival. Just eat was very rude. And gave us the wrong order the only I got was drinks. My order number 11292. I rang the restaurant no answer. This is not the 1st time. I will not use just eat or McDonald again. I have a very upset daughter now.
Again on the 7/1/21 I order no one turned up
Desired outcome: Wrong food
Service in drive thru
Horrible customer service. Attitude from making the order to picking it up. I'm already paying enough for the caramel coffee so please just give me the cream and sugar when I ask for it. Parked went inside to get them. I'm disabled so it's a bigger problem than just jumping in and out. That's why going through the drive thru is convenient. Not convenient today at all

On 01/14/2021, after refusing to patronize McDonald's for over a year because of their frequency of getting orders wrong, I caved and went back. Sadly, my prior negative experiences failed to bring to my mind a reminder to CHECK THE BAG. Sure enough, they got it wrong. PRINTED on the order, clear as can be, were the details -- 1 sausage burrito, 1 mild...

On 1-10-21, I ordered 2 double cheeseburgers and a large fry, when I got to the window I was informed of my total of 7.20 which is more than what I usually pay. I asked why the price this time I was informed the large fry was over $3 which can't be true, because its normally 1.99 plus tax. I order this all the time and its always 5$ and change. There alway...

The McDonald's on South 5th literally told me to go [censored] myself after I waited over an hour and a 1/2 for a door dash delivery. I just called to see where my order was and she insisted I call door dash for help, laughed.. Then hung up on me. Yay McDonald's! I really appreciate how you DIDN'T treat me as a customer after I dumped nearly $30 into a meal.

Its not your fault that customers don't know how to behave; however, there is a single yellow line leading up to two drive through lanes. To most people this means to form a single lane and wait for the next open drive up lane. More often than not people ignore that and go around several people to form their own lane on the outside drive through lane. They...

Comment: Used McDonald app; daily deal offer buy 1 breakfast sandwich get 2nd for.01. Offer not honored; reason it had expired. How can offer retrieve at 10 a.m.; expire prior to 15 minutes? Personnel at McD stated app is corporate controlled, local facility have nothing to do with app; also stated offer probably expired at 12 a.m., so I would have to come in before then to redeem offer - my question is how can I come in the day before the offer is provided? As a result of this transaction today, Sunday 1/3/21; I can only conclude this app thing is fraudulent; and is used as a bait to attract customers to the local facility who then will tell you they are not connected with the McD corporate? The offer was not honored; I paid 2.50 for a Sausage McGriddle and did not get the second sandwich as offered... disappointed in Decatur Alabama. The store I used was Restaurant 5566.
Desired outcome: 1. McDonald to honor daily deal; either the deals offered on app are legitimate or not; 2. A response indicating whether the information I received is accurate = local franchise has no responsibility to honor app offers
Customer service
i went to the drive thru and bought a cup of coffee and when got around to drive thru window. The cashier told me your going to get shot. Think should be aware of her behavior. My name is wayne everson. i dont know if the cashier has developmental disabilities. I know lockport do have people with disabilities that work and live there. The cashier that told me that rude comment should work in the back on the make line. She has poor customer service skills.
A employee
I ordered a large coffee on 1/2/2021 at 10:00 am your employee a hispanic young male employee misunderstood me and he thought I had ordered a ice coffee he was charging me 4 dóllars and some cents. When I told him why so much for a large coffee he began to get mad at me and had a bad attitude with bad service I would not like him to service me again my name is Jorge he did not give me my receipt thank you.
Rude service, product not made correctly
I buy coffee every single day from McDonald's. I paid for extra caramel and the lady Lori was so mean to me saying she wouldn't put in the amount I paid for because they are not supposed to do that. She continued to talk loudly over me . If I'm paying for it to be made to my liking then that's how I should get it. Now every time she makes my coffee it's NASTY.

My friends and I decide at 8:00 pm that we want to spoil ourselves to some McDonald's. So we pull up to the drive through menu and we asked the drive thru worker for separate orders and they refused saying "We don't do separate orders at this time." All of us just looked at each other in confusion. One of my friends asks "What do you mean you can't do...

Read full review of McDonald'sPoor food
A royal delux, without vegetable and over cooked. Not a single lettuce. Not a single slice of onion. Have you ever seen ketchup inside the sandwich? The image speaks for itself. Complaint made, not a single word from them. When you have one franchisee, he made whatever he wants and the image of MacDo is hit here. A minimum of 4 franchisees are required in order to get a good service.
2 cheeseburger meal
The burgers had an off smell not sure if it was the cheese or patty.
There was no consistency in the burgers, some had only one gherkin while others had two.
The Fanta orange drink was extremely hot, served with a cup that had Fanta orange spilt all over it.
Their prices seem more expensive than the usual Mc Donald meal prices, for example their Mc Royale Meal is R71. 90 which is way more than the price I normally buy it for at other Mc Donald restaurants.
Correct order presentation at drive through window.
Constantly giving ketchup, syrup and other stuff I ask not be included with order. Waiting in the parking wait area over 5 minutes for an order of Two (2) hash browns. Finding pancakes missing from order when I returned to my house. (Ordered big breakfast) (Note ; other items sometimes missing from order after returning home) This problem is not just recently happening but has been ongoing over years. Don't have any such problems at Southington store
Mobile orders
This isn't really a complaint just looking for information. Sunday I placed a mobile order for breakfast items at 10:45. I went into pick up the order but was told they stop serving breakfast at 10:30 every day. I know the McDonald's next to my work serves breakfast till 11am on weekends. I was fine with that and asked if I could receive a refund. The manager wasn't sure but asked if I could cancel the order on my end. I checked and the app doesn't have a cancel order options as far as I could see. Then asked if I could dispute the charge with my bank, but my bank is closed on Sundays. He tried to got on the phone with his district manager to find out what to do. The app is suppose to automatically stop breakfast orders after breakfast stops being served but it seems the app doesn't know that store stops serving breakfast at 10:30. The manager decided to go ahead and make the breakfast order. Just want to know who is actually responsible for putting store specific information in the app to make sure any mobile order can be made without issue. Would that be the store manager or corporate offices? I had a similar issue a few months ago when I had an offer for Buy one get one free on Mcflurry and milkshakes and was originally excited to see the eggnog milkshake near the top of the featured deals but wasn't actually available, and a couple of months before that I order biscuits and sausage gravy which wasn't served anymore either.
