Why are your ordering diet coke?
Complaint Rating:  63 % with 8 votes
I went to a McDonalds tonight... I am soo upset. I ordered a double big mac combo, supersized it and got a mcchiken sandwich. I then said I wanted Diet coke. The guy says why are you ordering diet coke, that makes no sense... I was silent and felt so embarrassed... he waited my answer. So I said I like the taste better. Then he said well that makes no sense. I had to wait for him to give me a lecture on how bad diet coke is and that I should be ordering water. The whole time im holding my money ready to pay. Finally I say, can I just pay for my meal and he told me the total. I don't need a lecture from Mcdonalds employees implying that I am overweight and shouldn't be drinking pop. How dare he tell me I should order water instead. What can I do to get some justice? This isn't my first complaint with McDonalds because of service. Just a few days ago I paid with a $20 bill and she got upset saying that she didnt have the change for a $20... Shes like dont you have a $10... I can't take $20 bills. I responded by being upset and saying is this not a food chain, how can I not pay with a $20 bill.... I get upset when my order is wrong, but I can see that happens... But honestly these things I will not keep dealing with. Oh and ask for the manager and she says I am the manager, what do you want me to do? The same "manager told me she was so upset that wendys was closed because then she has too much business and just wants to go home. Telling me I shouldn't go there because she has to work harder. Why am I expected to deal with this when I order a burger and fries???

Another story, i went to Mcdonalds and paid with ten dollars, but the worker who barely spoke English gave me change like a gave her five dollars.

I tried to correct her, but she said I was wrong. She then went on to call me a liar. The strange part is that this woman could barely speak english, and i waited for her to figure out how to count the change.

I was very late so i asked her to check quickly. She said I was wrong, and now it was the principle, not the five dollars. i asked her for the manager, who backed the worker up without hearing my side of the story. i asked her to check the camera. she refused. She then took the drawer into another room, and came back five minutes later and said i was lying.

I was so angry that I called them a few names, but when I went to grab my coffee, I accifdently knocked it over. I apologized because it really was a mistake. I was angry and not thinking clearly when I went to grab the cup. The next thing I know they are all yelling at me and all the staff is escorting me out the door. I thought I was going to get hit.

I was victimized by McDonalds, and the manager was the worst of the bunch. If anyone cares, it was October 21, 2009 at 8am in vancouver by Thurlow and Davie. Another thing, i had well over 300 dollars in my wallet, so this was not some lame attempt to eat for free.

Shame on McDonalds!

Oct 03, 2009 @ 1800 hr. I purchased 2 kids meals and 2 #1 combos at Mcdonalds in St.Thomas ont. Once I returned home and openned one of the Big Mac container I found 2 bties had been eaten from the burger. upon returning to Mcdonalds, I showed the burger to the manager on duty. He looked at me as if to say whats wrong with the burger. I told him that when I openned the Bigmac container, the burger had been eaten by somebody w2orking in your kitchen. To which he replied " what do you want, another Bigmac" I replied " yes and what are you going to do about the eaten burger." The manager replied " I wuill give you 2 apple pies." The action and attitude of the manager on duty was vey unprofessional and undeserved. I am leaving this complaint with you to act upon in some way shape or form. I will follow up later to see if have done any about this incident.

If what you're saying is really true, that employee rocks.

Also, Diet Coke tastes horrific.

Uh...McDonalds is far from wealthy. They are actually on the brink of bankruptcy, which poses the question as to why they haven't stepped up their game and provide good customer service so that they actually can be around in 10 or 20 years?

Hello everyone, just so you all know its been 6 weeks since i had my last pay from Mcdonalds Canada, i am going to quit my job today and go on welfare, why becuase my rent is past due and my employer doesnt want to pay me for wages owed for the last 6 weeks . In my opinion they are going under fast, everyone in my store is owed more then 6 weeks of pay, can you imagine what your eating ?

Your all idiots. Simply stop going to McDonlads. If you really want to stuff your face with fatty food GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. It's yet still ironic how all of you complain but McDonalds is the wealthiest fast food company in the WORLD.

I know personally a whole resturant in Windsor Ontario and they never get their pay in time, they make them wait up to 6 weeks for thier pay for work done . Their atitude is if you dont like it, go on welfare, who cares, worse off is all them horror stories you hear about the well known hockey puck is TRUE - yuck and you people eat this, how about i serve you my garbage after it rots for 4 weeks in 110 outside, its more cleaner then that big whack you eating as you read this !! Come on down to my store, your sure to get a burger made rare, did you know the blood still drips on the bun, we hide it with the ketchup .

hahahhahaah try working there and dealing with some of the idiots we deal with, for a matter of fact I work at the McDonalds in Woodstock New Brunswick. And maybe if some people learned how to order right they'd get their food right.. just my two cents.

And yes your right some of us are idiots, only because we deal with the idiots that come thru.!

and why large size your meal and get diet coke, it is poinless.

First of all wether or not its McDonalds, Wendy's or any other "fast food" resturaunt, You get what you pay for.

The food is cheap for you to buy only because the resturaunt general managers or CEO of these chains think that because the food is cheap, we should only hire cheap employees.. Making them a hell of alot of profit. Thats all its about people. Profit!

Good, respectible employess will not be applying to Mcdonalds (or any other fast food chain) because they only pay the employees minimum wage for them to bust there asses making a mob full of people there food for 8 hours a day. Now considering no reasonable person, or one trying to support a family will ever want to work there, these chains recruit the teenagers, slackers, druggies, elderly, handicapped, and the desperate.

When i was a teenager i worked at a mcdonalds because my mother forced me to get a job there. Not only was i paid minimum wage to sweat bullets doing 6 areas at rush hour, I caught a fellow employee (who was cooking hamburgers) Put his boot on the grill to see if it would melt or not, then the idiot cooked right on top of it!! When i went to tell my manager about this I was sent home and later fired, for argueing with the manager on how it was not only unsanitary, but it was a health code violation aswell. They told me i was disobeying my duty as an employee for arguing with the manager.. But when all i was doing is letting him know his employee was poisoning everone! So to sum it all up..The good employees get shat on and fired for pointing out things that are wrong, while idiots who accept there retarded ways and wages continue there employment. So all and all... you get what you pay for!

As far as the Diet coke thing... this particular worker had a point. I like diet pepsi for the taste too.. so i understand that, But to order a heartattack with cheese, supersized thigh fries and then say.. oh and a DIET Coke.. Yeah .. i would have looked at you like an idiot too and in the mean time be laughing my ass off inside my head. lol But i would greatly take your fat asses money and watch you slowly die because your dumb ass was to lazy to cook a REAL meal at home for your family. As much time as it took for you to drive there, give the order, get the food, complain, drive back home, then write a damn blog about your experience, You could have showed your child how to make lazagna (its called family time) and had a nice meal with the rest of your family.. Drama free at that!

Wise up people. Forreal

I agree that service at mcdonald's could be better, but i just want to say something from the mcdonald's worker point of view.
When people go into mcdonald's, they dont even realize that most of the time the people serving them are teenagers, and criminals, and mental patients. They have such a hard time finding decent workers that they have no choice but to take absolutely everyone. I actually remember hiring a guy who put his reason for leaving his last job as "because i went to jail". You can only do so much with what you have.
The main reason that they are so understaffed is that it is pretty much a joke for any respectable adult to even consider working there. Everyone has this problem with their service, but no one thinks about why there is a problem.
When i was over-night manager at McDonald's in North Battleford, I couldnt believe how badly the general public actually treats the people who work there. Grown men yelling at 15 year old girls so bad that they cried, people being called stupid, idiot, retard, etc., etc., purposely messing up the place, spitting on them, throwing food and pop on them, and just on my shift alone i've had people urinate on the drivethru window, been threatened more than a few times, attacked, and the list goes on. Bottom line, maybe if all of you just didnt treat mcdonalds workers like crap they might be a little nicer. Not saying that there arent a lot of problems with their service, because there are, it goes both ways though too. It doesnt matter if you are spending your money there when it comes to common decency. Then maybe they'd be able to hang on to the better workers, and be able to get rid of the bad ones.

I cannot belive this shit! You've done it again! Everytime I go to the goddamn drive thru, I get ripped off! Way to go McDonalds! Keep messing up orders, you're doing every other restaraunts in the market a huge favor. Because, I for one, take a vow to never EVER, drop a goddamn cent in one of your restaurant ever. How complicated is it to follow a freaking list and make sure everything is there?

Sounds pretty damn simple to me! I mean, we're not talking about rocket science here...or surgery...or even programming the clock on a freaking microwave oven.

A&W forever! Or Wendy's forever! As far as I'm concerned any fucking place is good as long as it's not your fucking rip-off of a restaurant!

Fuck you!

We got to deal with some pretty ridiculous bullshit from customers too. Most of you guys need to get off your high horse and learn to roll with the punches. Shit happens.

Cause you know when you leave the store were all laughing at you behind your back.



Besides, you got to remember, you better be nice to us. We make your food =)

I will never eat at mcdonalds again, or even lend someone money to eat there. Yesterday at the burnaby metrotown location, a new sushi kiosk rest was opening and giving free samples to would be customers. Mcdicks went to the line up to give free chicken sandwich samples, then they thought it would be funny if they gave free ice crap drinks as well. I can somewhat understand the 40 year old illiterate tits being so ignorant, but the manager (still not much better) come on, show some class and embrace competition for what it is HEALTHY!! I still dont understand why they would interfere with a small business that caters to a completely different customer, if you want gut rot & the Mcsquirts it's a solid lock choice. Now in trying to steal customers from a family owned shop, they lost a longtime sucker(i mean customer) . Perhaps i should be writing a thank you rant, instead of this. these are my 2 cents, and the last 2 cents these mongering society killers will see!!

I live in Vernon B.C. We have 4 McDonalds restaurants. They were excellent. The owner left and the four outlets are now without an owner. The service is now almost impossible. I hope that it is possible to get these four outlets back to the good stads of McDonalds

I just came from a totally different restaurant where a McDonalds employee came up to the counter to order. I wouldn't have even noticed it was a McDonalds employee except he was wearing the uniform of a shift supervisor. I noted the irony to my son, at which point he spouted off in an angry tiraid.

Doesn't McDonalds have a policy in place to prevent this kind of anti-advertisment? Shouldn't they think to at least remove thir name tags before comitting to a swearing streak in front of minors?

I've recieved so much crappy service and worse food from them, this just cinches it. No more McDonalds for me or my family.

I'll be calling in the name tag info on Tuesday when the office is open. I hope he's rich, he'll be without a job soon. His biggest mistake? I know the owner of his franchise location.

About the service? I agree. It sucks. Never had a correct order, and don't expect to with under paid kids behind the counter. They need to stay in school and quit ASAP. Most of them should stay permanently out of the restaurant business.

Just my 2 cents.

Many years ago I went into McDonalds and the cook was in the back picking his nose! I watched him pick it and then wipe it on the inside of his shirt! I started screaming for the manager and she was embarrassed, but I don't think she did anything about it. From then on, it was known as Booger-Donald's. That was the last time I EVER went to that McDonalds! As a matter of fact, I have only been to McDonalds a handful of times at best since then and not in the past 5-7 years.

McDonald's is gross! The food makes you sick, the employees don't care or are too stupid to care and they are too expensive.

YUCK!
