rude employees and manager/ horrible service
About a month ago, my mother and I went to this McDonald's one morning after she came home from work. When we went in and ordered from the counter, my mother asked the cashier, who barley spoke a word of english, what was on their breakfast burrito the McSkillet . The cashier told her eggs, sausage and cheese. So my mother and I both ordered the McSkillet breakfast combo. When our order was ready, I went up to the counter and got the tray and sat back down with my mother. When my mother unwrapped the McSkillet burritos she saw it has onions and peppers on it. She told me she was not able to eat it because of the peppers. So while I ate mine she went back up to ask for a sausage McMuffin instead of the burrito. When she came back and sat down she was very upset, on the verge of crying. I ask her what happened and she told me when she told the cashier, who served us about the peppers on the burrito, the cashier said she should of ordered something else. My mom told her that she had asked her what was on it and the cashier had told her only eggs, sausage and cheese. The cashier told my mom that she should have looked up at the menu and seen what was on it in the picture. Mind you its about 3ft back and 6ft up from the front counter and my mom's legally blind. So after the cashier gave my mother an attitude my mother asked to speak to the manager. The manager told my mother the same thing the cashier told her, and when my mom told her that she was not able to tell what was on the burrito based on the picture, the manager, Sharon, gave her an attitude as well. Then the manager stopped the cashier from throwing my mom's burrito away, telling her not to waste it, when it already had a bite out of it. The worst part was they yelled at her infront of a line of customers that were behind my mom waiting to order and a room full of customers that were sitting there eating, and when we called the main office and complained, they didn't call us back for a week. My mom had to call them back and all they did was tell the manager and cashiers to explain the menu better. We will NEVER eat here again. I suggest no one else in Pasadena eats here either.
@ heatherbirdlady Thank you for seeing my point. I don't have issues with the company itself, just this store location and the way they handled the situation. I don't know why people are taking it so personally. Unless they work for them and are upset because they think I'm bad mouthing every McDonald's, which I'm not. I appreciate all of you who see my point, being that I've been on both ends of this problem as a customer and a employee, I try to treat everyone who comes into any restaurant I've worked at, with respect and make sure I don't mess up their orders. To anyone who disagrees please refer to the picture I've posted with this comment. ;-)~
That comment for Kevin Richards is also relevant to you Stealth Pilot
@ Stew Pees Himself I'm ignorant, but your making remarks about me, which aren't even true, and have nothing to do with what actually happened? Whatever you say hypocrite. Speak for yourself. Your a [censor] and you know nothing about me, my family or what actually happened. Talk about ignorant and stupid. It must make you feel high and mighty talking trash on the internet to people you don't know and will never meet huh? Kinda sad and pathetic if you ask me.
Really? Um first off, I worked for McDonald's in 2002, the breakfast burrito wasn't even on the menu at the time, and a burrito isn't a sandwich. Are you really that stupid? Please think of an intelligent argument before you, or anyone else who wishes to respond, waste my time, the next time you have something to say. Now go be a [censored] somewhere else. Goodbye.
First of all, you don't know me and secondly, my story is true. I think it's really amusing for you to sit there and talk [censor] like you know for sure, when you obviously don't, and those pics were posted on photobucket. I choose to include them in my post, because I am pissed about the way McDonald's treats it's customers and employees. I used to work at this same location and I quit because of the same manager's attitude. This complaint is just further proof, why the [censor] got fired. She deserved it. I'm glad she's not working there, and I hope that this restaurant and any other restaurant that chooses to treat it's employees and customers like this gets shut down. I've seen other places I've worked at (where they treated employees like [censor]) that are no longer open, just vacant buildings sitting there, and as I drive past them, it makes me smile. I never had any issue with McDonald's or anywhere else I've eaten at, until I actually worked at some of them, and now I see why people hate them. [censor] management + rude customers + crappy pay = job from hell. Thanks for responding and further proving how ignorant some people in the world are.
UPDATE: THE [censor] MANAGER WHO GAVE ME [censor] OVER THE BREAKFAST BURRITOS IS NO LONGER WORKING AT THIS LOCATION. APPARENTLY SHE PISSED OFF ANOTHER CUSTOMER AND THAT CUSTOMER THREATENED TO DRAG HER OUTSIDE INTO THE PARKING LOT AND BEAT HER [censor]. SO THE MANAGER WAS FIRED. LOOKS LIKE KARMA WAS A BIGGER [censor] THEN THE MANAGER AT THIS LOCATION. LMFAO! XD
Because if I ever got an attitude with someone while I was on the clock, working, I'd lose my job. That's a great way to get fired or even written up. I've seen it happen to other people I've worked with. I would never have treated a customer that way. I would have apologized and given them the replacement meal they asked for. That's how your trained to handle customer complaints. They weren't enforcing their policy. You don't tell a customer they're wrong, when obviously they can't tell from a picture what's on a burrito, and then give them an attitude, especially infront of other people. And then for the manager to tell the cashier not to throw out a burrito, that has a bite in it, is disgusting, and I'm sure against any health codes they are required to follow. The fact is we don't need incompetent people working in our restaurants, or leaving messages about a situation, where clearly we, not the McDonald's was in the right. Is everyone in Sweden that ignorant to customers and the standard procedures of restaurants?

24 hr. drive thru?
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!

I will say that as a manager of a 24 hour Mcdonald's that we do have to shut our system down at night. This can take anywhere from 20-35 minutes, depending on how early the manager was able to start on his end of the day paperwork. Now this shut down has to be done sometime between 11pm and 2am. So if this was the time that you went there, that is what they were trying to say. They should not have said shift change, but instead closing out the day.
bad service
Every time I order mcdonalds from this particular mcdonalds I get screwed over. I always ask for a large dbl qtr pounder meal no pickles no onions add small onions. This tim I recieved a burger with bacon and no cheese. Wen I took it back they didnt make me a new burger they just took the bacon off and added cheese. I took it and found a slice of cheese missing... I was a manager woho tried to fix my order.
Every othe mc donalds is fine... They make my order perfectly except for the one in center clayton.
I would like someone to look into the situation.

Mcdonalds is constantly having to hire new people cause they slave drive the ones they have, and they have to start the training over..I worked at one when I was 16 and I remember them making me work alot of 14 hour days with no breaks.Trust me when say this: I agree with you and yes its there choice to work there but have you ever seen there managers yell at the employees? Its horrible ...From now on I would go in and order and check the order b4 you leave...
We have a McDonalds in Jasper Georgia Pickens County. They are forever having to ask you what you ordered at both windows. They added a second window and they could not even keep up with one. They just recently got their outside screens fixed so you could see what you were ordering. When you pull up to the second window they start handing you out all this food you did not even order. I hand it back to them and give them the receipt I was given at the first window. Then when we get home with it we either did not get part of what we ordered or we got part of some one elses order. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Sometimes the person handing you the order never even speaks to you they sling it out and close the window. We got shorted an order of fries one day when my daughter was with me and I knocked on the window my daughter just told the Mexican girl we needed another order of fries and she told the manager we wanted to speak to her. We told her we had not asked to speak to anyone that we just got shorted an order of fries and had asked for them.

Pathetic Service:
Attitude of the person serving me after waiting on the line for my turn for about an hour:
1. Drive through was supper slow & I opted for the walk-in option.
2 After waiting for my turn almost 30 minutes. They told me that they were out of stock and couldn't provide me with ice cream Mc Flurry. I then opted for caramel & chocolate source. I then waited for my order.
3. Customers that arrived long after me received similar orders and left while I was still waiting.
4. When I asked when I was going to receive my order, the lady preparing the order responded with an ATTITUDE informing me to wait for my turn (as if I hadn't waited enough or I was waiting for a free-bee/ as if she was doing me a favour.
5 Supervisor was present and aware of the complaint and did absolutely nothing about it.
5. I then requested that they cancel the order as I was not chuffed with the treatment and will never buy from any Mc Donald's franchise ever again! I have had enough of their bad service & the "we are out of stock excuse" used after you've waited on the long ques.
DEAR SIRS OF MCDONALDS HOLDERS:
concerning the delivery here in Egypt i faced a very strange situation, i was making an order thru the phone n they said they cant deliver my order because I'm living out of zone? in the same tI'me a restaurant is very close to McDonald's is delivering food without this unbelievable wicked answer as if McDonald's is trying to differentiate between classes of society from middle to high class, ain't this called racism, keep continuing in loosing more n more costumers, and buy the way prices ain't differ from district to another, and as also if its a big deal u can ask for extra money for delivering the order instead of loosing, other wise take a c.v from customers to be sure if they deserve to eat your sandwich or no, I'm sorry that all this tI'me i was purchasing from McDonald's without knowing that you support racism
What has Mcdonalds become?! Always getting orders wrong, food not up to par, time consuming drive thru's, no ice cream at night, beggars next to pay point and food collection, bad service, the list could go on forever. Bout a month ago I purchased a m/coke at the greenpoint branch which I would expect to be up to par, luckily I tasted it before being inconvenienced.. It was gasless/flat coke, who drinks flat coke? We're paying double than a normal vendor so is it too much to ask for fizzy coke?! Today at the Somerset branch the same thing happened, again luckily I noticed (my friends were stuck with flat coke and fanta) this is really not acceptable! Most of the time there is something wrong with food but we just have to settle than end up with someone spitting in ur order, that's the kind of overworked unfriendly staff in most branches. I will never support McDee's again! Its enough that the food tastes like paper but how u screw up on fizzy drinks? Always a excuse for there being no ice cream. At this rate old faithful Mcdonalds will be losing much more customers
I just bought a Cajun deluxe meal from the Cavendish branch here in Claremont... The chicken is worse than rubber.. I tried to eat it as I did not have the time to go out again and get other lunch, but could not get myself to eat even half...
The chips were fried in old oil, as I can clearly taste it... This is so bad... They have permanently lost me as a customer... I know they wont feel the loss, but they should maintain some sort of standard if they wish to provide value for money. Failing that, they will lose more customers.
I agree. I complained to the south African call center about the fact that you cannot get any Ice Age 3 toys with the happy meals that they are advertising at the movies and they come up with a sorry for you attitude, but we are not getting any more toys.
Please explain this to my Kids...
poor hygiene
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.

It's in south africa what do you expect?
food standards
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.

McDonald's is not an easy job. I work at one, and the people who actually work do not decide the quality. In reality, it's the mangers.
serving cold food
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.

discusting
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.

Stopped at the Fort Chiswell McDonalds this evening (approx 7:30pm) and went to the drive thru. I ordered a sausage biscuit and coffee. I could not bite into the biscuit it was so hard and the coffee was strong definitely not freshly made. I was happy to hear McDonalds would serve breakfast all day. However, if they're going to serve biscuits that were made earlier that morning It kind of defeats the idea. I will not order a breakfast food later in the day again.
Yep you are correct. It is also correct they don't care anything about their employees. If they did they would pay them decently. Better wages equals better service. But that sensible concept is over their heads.
none made
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

unsafe for children
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.

I was in Cebu in January /09. Visited three different McD's on many occasions (my primary food source in Cebu!) I never saw any safety issues except for the security dudes toting shotguns.
Step outside to see filthy, local 3 and 4 year olds sleeping on the sidewalks.
And you're worried about your child stubbing his toe? Sheeesh! Put some shoes on him.
Disclaimer: This is NOT an endorsement for Cebu. I hated it there. But I found McD's there to be as good as anywhere.
Try the chicken nuggets and spaghetti combo. 124 pesos.
bad language
I share a similar complaint with the woman above--- with regards to treatment of customers at the Mcdonalds in Shippensburg.
And for the record-- the second comment about stretch pants was incredibly rude and uncalled for.
I have been frequenting Mcdonalds off and on in this area since 2002, and the last straw which has drawn me to complain and forward my complaints to the Better Business Bureau as well are as follows:
Frequently my order is WRONG... I often have to go in and request it be replaced to what was ordered originally. The latest problem was with whip cream.. I paid extra for whip cream on my coffee with 2 creams and 2 splends-- what did i get?
Black coffee...
So I went in to tell them the order was wrong and I needed whip cream... instead what I got was a nasty salesperson telling me,
"Well you need to show me a receipt to prove to me you got your order wrong!". I couldnt believe my ears--- instead of acknowleding a mistake (one of many they have made on my orders) they chose to get angry. I then told him, "no, what you need to do is do your job right".
Disgusted, and without my whip cream, paid for, I walked out to hear the cashier YELLING AT ME verbally, "I dont appreciate you telling me I dont do my job right!" .. totally losing it. This happened at around midnight a few weeks ago.
I immediately got the number of the owner, and left a message detailing the problem at Mcdonalds but NEVER received a return call from the owner.
I went through the drive through about 4 days later for breakfast, and lo and behold.. they got my order wrong AGAIN.
I just took the sandwhich and went home.. too tired for their bs.
Anyone else?

This may be an angry black/ghetto woman complaining. By the way she said things transpired.
You're the one who lost it. See there's no problems if they raise their voice. Sure it's uncalled for but they have have a duty to serve. If they do mess up with it, you, as a customer, have the duty to bring it to their attention. ..."Well you need to show me a receipt to prove to me you got your order wrong!"... Right here, my question to you is, "How hard could it be to show them your receipt?"
So employee - 1 customer - 1.
What you could have done was try to end the dispute with the upper hand of the benefit of the doubt... which in present conditions is theirs and not yours. Who are we to know that they did yell at you and even more know that they got mad. Exclamations are but a dramatization.
So, you aggravated the employee by telling them that their work wasn't efficient enough. Why? When you could have talked it through and eventually gotten your right order.
I'm thinking that you get easily ticked off and such things happen to you. Try thinking before starting a feud with a fast food restraunt, You're the one who buys their food, why make other visits unpleasant? Encouraging instead of putting down is better.
I've gotten orders wrong... but here in the Valley, we are civilized humans... a thing that you can hardly find elsewhere in the U.S :)
We work to help each other solve our problems
This hit and run technique of yours is ridiculous. Just leaving with your order wrong. It's as if you're asking to be bullied.
So ### you for making everything harder on yourself and ### that [censored] employee that cant put extra for whip cream on your coffee with 2 creams and 2 splends in a ###ing coffee.
Everyones happy especially me! :)
### you very much.

mcd in el monte sucks
So my dad went to buy some mcDs for the family in El Monte. The first time my dad did, he ordered 2 small yogurts, but the lady gave him 1 large instead( trying to act smart ). My dad wanted to get 2 small ones for my brothers. She shouldn't have tried to act smart, they are suppose to satisfy the customers not trying to make them mad.
today my dad went buy some, unfortunately it was the same lady, he ordered a 20 piece chicken nuggets, she gave him only 10. wtf is that? then later asking for some sweet and sour sauce, they gave him some barbecue sauce, but my dad wanted to change it. She gave him 2 sweet and sour sauce but we have about 3 kids meal chicken nuggets. so what happened to the rest. I though the rule was each 4 piece suppose to have a sauce with it. oh yeahs, when my dad was ordering the 3 kids meals, he re-asked the lady what he had ordered, and she said he only ordered 1 kids meals. ok? is she deaf?
El Monte Mc D should have some people there looking around and get them fired. if they aren't good enough to have the job and try to maintain their job. Just Quit! Don't stay there when other people need the job and will do much of a better job than they do. Please do a better job! Thank you!

Yes i agree. Also there is staff behaviour problem. Employee name Usman Shabir counter attendent. He is most of the time behaving roudly and ready to give taunting smile to customers. This is discusting and surly damaging Mcdonalds image over all.

taking money
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.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
How could you not realise that you'd been that short changed? If you'd handed someone 50 dollars for something as small as an orange juice, surely you would have checked the money you were getting back before putting it into your purse? Then you could have bought it to the attention of the crew member who served you who probably would've been very apologetic for their mistake. I can assure you that you definitely weren't short changed on purpose, after all there would be no gain for the crew member in short-changing you.
McDonalds also have polices and procedures in place for customers who dispute the change that they receive. If the cashier who served you had disagreed with the fact that you gave her a $50 note, the draw would have been counted to back up your claim. As you can understand however, you would have to do this relatively soon after you had realised you'd received the wrong change due to the fact that cash drawers are meant to be changed every couple of hours. Without doing either of these things, there's would be no way for the managers/owner of the maccas you visited to know whether or not you were telling the truth. Unfortunately, people come into maccas all the time claiming to have received the wrong change when they haven't. Understandably McDonalds can't just give out change to anyone who makes these claims! Having the receipt doesn't actually prove anything, except for the fact that you bought an orange juice from maccas. For all the management knows, you could be lying about receiving the wrong change in an effort to score an extra $20 for your wallet.
Having said all that, the manager who answered your call (and it probably was just a manager, not the owner of the store) treated you wrongly. He should have written down your details and investigated your claim. Or got someone more suitably trained to deal with your problem to call you back. However, he may have mistaken your call for a prank, as a large number of people prank call Maccas stores everyday.
If you really want to worry about your $20, go to the head office of McDonalds in your state. They'll contact the store you visited and they'll probably get into a lot of crap for poor public relations. Plus you'll most likely get vouchers and/or your money back.

unfair work schedule
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..

My question is that if your scheduled 4 hours can you be sent home in 2 or 3 hrs? Does McD's have to keep you your scheduled shift? It seems like it's against the law to schedule you certain hours and send you home when they want!
your friend is a [censor] who is clearly unreliable and unfit for work.
So sorry for your friend. But remember this is also McD's slow season. He should also be thankful they gave him his job back. Here being awol means you quit... No second chance.
hair in sandwich
This 02/08/09 Sunday morning I went thru the drive thru to get 2 Mcgriddle, in 1 of my sandwiches there was a long hair straned that i pulled out my mouth after taking a few bites. I went back to speak with the manager about the matter in a calm manner, there I noticed only one of the workers had a hit on & that was the worker that was cleaning up the area were people sit to eat. The manager came out from the back area she ask in a rude way if i have my receipt so she can give me my money back, she went to the back, credit my accout back & brought my refund receipt back, told me to sign, then after, she pick up her copy & walk away from me headed back to the back. She didnt say nothiing about the hair in the sandwich nor did she even apologize for what happened.

I got a fish sandwich filled with hair its impossible for this to be an accident. This sandwich had four long pieces of hair tangled all thru the sandwich. After pulling a hair from halfway out my throat I got furious. Some course of action should be done. The address was 4814 Center St. Tacoma, WA 98466 the Mcdonalds inside of gas station. The workers here I guess play some serious games that can get themselves hurt and people in a lot of trouble. I think I will stop eating Mcdonalds for a long while.
dirty playground area & equipment
The outdoor playground is disgustingly dirty, that it's fair to say it has never been cleaned. Botchy repairs on all slides and tunnels where plastic is connected looks like mud has been used to keep all connecting bits together. The rubber floor is black where original flooring is multicoloured in places where there's no thoroughfare. And thick piles of hair, dust and dirt are piled. This is unacceptable hygiene. In Alex Hills, Hungry Jacks a few times we've been there we've seen it being high pressure cleaned from top to bottom. Capalaba McDonalds professionally get your play area cleaned.

not professional
Doesnt Matter how much you try and communicate with certain Managers they always disregard many issues,
This behaviour from paticular Managers is not acceptable, The Store Manager has Issues, She really needs to pull her hand out her ###,
How she treats many co-workers is so sad too see, when a problem needs too be discussed she thinks she has it coverd, but her stabbing in the back and how she deals with certain Issues is desgusting,
This is not fair and very unprofessional,
She needs more PR Skills
Many are desgusted and believe she needs to step down,
She talks to people and the put downs is not fair

This is the country's poorest run store. The service is slow, especially if ou have to go inside to the counter. The EFTPOS/ credit card machine is quite often offline or broken, and they run out of items all the time. And to top it all off, they are the most expensive store I've ever been to. Won't be back. Why isn't there a Hungry Jacks up at Murray Bridge. If there was, I think Mcd's would be closed within a month!
and you need to work on keeping to only one profile DigitalCommando or zzrokk or biccey or what the hell ever.
poor hygene and staff services
To whom it concerns,
As a family we have visited many Mc Donalda all over the world and have never had to make a complaint, While in Dublin yesterday we visited Mc Donalds on O Connel Street.
We ordered 3 meals and tucked in. On finishing his burger my son stated that he had found 2 hairs in it, the first he he had thrown on the floor, the second he returned to the box. I gave out to him for eating the burger as personally I find hair in food quite revolting. I asked him to confirm that they were in the burger and he pulled it out of the box to show me, it was a long hair so definatly didnt belong to him. I couldnt finish my meal as I felt ill on seeing this. I quietly asked a staff member weather or not the people preparing the food were wearing hair nets and explained what had happened, she looked shocked, apologized and took the box away. Some time later a man whom I presum was the manager approached our table and asked if we had a problem, I expained what had happened, He turned to my son and said to him, this is impossible you did not find that hair in ur burger, it does not belong to my staff. I couldnt believe he was accusing a chid of lying. I asked him to explain how the hair got there as the burger was delivered to the table and the only people near it were the person that prepared it and my son whom has short hair. He turned to me and said the staff al had their hair covered and it was not possible. He offered to replace the burger which wasnt much use to us then walked away with no apology. I couldnt believe it how rude and my son was upset because he felt he was accused of lying. The lady I first spoke to actually came over again to apologize and I thanked her for doing so she was very polite unlike the manager.
On leaving we looked into the kitchen to see that only one member of staff had a hair net on and this girl had all her hair up in a bun under a hat with the bun in a net, the rest were wearing hats but had hair sticking out on both sides over their ears so it was quite easy for the hair to get there.
I was disgusted and very dissappointed by the way we were treated

scam and stealing
I went to McDonalds drive-thru on my lunch break to buy 2 'dollar menu' double cheeseburgers and a large drink. After paying what I thought was correct at $3.33, I found that I only had one burger. I looked at the items on my receipt (not the item price yet) and found that I was only charged for one burger. I went inside and bought the second dollar item. The single dollar menu item cost me $1.40.
When I looked over both receipts I found I was charged $1.29 for each dollar menu burger plus a 'Take Out Tax' which was equal to California sales tax. Out the door I paid $4.73 for two dollar menu items and a drink.
I searched online for a take-out tax, both national and state I only found articles specifically on take out tax related to McDonalds. Other articles mentioned proposed 2% taxes on fast food. I can't find any information on an official take-out tax in California, so As a former die-hard Big Mac fan, I will not be eating at McDonalds any longer. People shouldn't have to spend their valuable time researching why a dollar item doesn't cost a dollar. I will be doing more research, In these economic times, I am watching every penny.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
First of all, you mentioned you ordered a large soda, this is not a dollar menu item. If you wanted to eat on the dollar-menu item you should have ordered a small soda, otherwise you might as well get a value meal. Secondly, the "take out tax" is just the sales tax. "Take out tax" is just what they label the sales tax as on drive-thru receipts. Next time you dine in take a look at the receipt and you will see it is labeled as "Dine in tax."
Now that the "McDouble" is featured on the Dollar Menu at McDonalds, it is being confused with the "Double Cheeseburger". If you, as a customer, ask for a Double Cheeseburger- you are going to be charged for a Double Cheeseburger. That is about $1.29 (give or take. depends on the franchise and the demographic)
You can be in the drive-thru, staring at that delicious-looking picture of what appears to be a Double-Cheeseburger (2 patties of meat with a slice of cheese in between) advertised for $1...and you are looking at the "McDouble", but if you don't ask for the "McDouble" you are going to get the other one- and pay 29 cents more for another slice of cheese.
As for the "Take Out Tax"-
The registers at McDonalds have 2 different "Total" keys. The one that is used depends on whether the customers is going to eat there or go. It determines how your order is prepared. You will either get a tray or a bag. It is for that purpose only. If you order your meal to stay (or "eat in") you will see an "eat-in" tax on your reciept. The tax is the same either way.

I found plastic in my mc muffin
Went Store 4616 and I had to wait all most 30 min just to place my order. This is bad service!
That's pretty flipping rude of u to make fun of a child. Your a sad sad person.
oh how cute, sausages for fingers
if you knew what was allowable by the FDA to be in your food. you would prefer the plastic. and by the contrary, your freaking out over comments that arent directed toward you personally. i said its nothing special. you blew up over that and posted back. i rationally explained my comment and you blew up even more and more and more.
"so ppl can watch where they go" ...a mistake was made yet you make it out to be "dont go here, they put plastic in their food". every restaraunt has had at least one instance where there was something foreign in their food. are you going to be the advocate and outlaw all food places?
no one is denying that there is plastic. and I did not say you planted it. but, whats the point of posting it here? other than to "warn everyone"...just as an fyi, the fda allows so many parts per million of animal feces and bug parts in packaged food.
now what do you have to say about the piddly piece of plastic
Sorry but you ppl are freaking out over something that did not happen to you. Im sure it stuck to it from the counter. Go some where else with all the drama. If a child had that im sure if it got into their mouth they would choke. So please get over it I didn't post this for you to rant and rave over. Come om guys really this is just so ppl can watch where they go. Thankyou for your kind words of wisdom I hope you get hair in your food sometime.
plastic just gives more flavor. i like mine with hair, to tell you the truth
oh...other things wrapped in plastic. everything that is food that comes in a box will be wrapped in plastic
yes, its between everything. do you think they recieve the sandwiches already made? and i guarantee that something in mcdonalds is wrapped in plastic such as the sandwich paper that the sandwich is wrapped in. those come in plastic. unless they picked out a completely random stranger to put plastic in their sandwich, for absolutlely no reason at all.
no one said a single thing about you. therefore, you havent been critisized...yet
Um fyi its between everything and they dnt wrap their food in clear plastic. Thankyou for your comments but really you dnt have to criticize me I wouldn't fake this also im just letting ppl know not trying to get a lawsuit.
