McDonald's
reviews and complaints

thats ok, I won an r. v. on a raffle from the ronald mcdonald house in pensacola. after paying all the taxes on the 35, 000. I gave the tampa bay ronald mcdonald's house, a 35, 000 dollar r.v., and they didn't want to fool with marketing it, so the sold it for 2000.00, basicaly had it towed off! you couldn't put tires on it for that! the tires were new! I wonder if the owner of the mcdonald there in tamps, was the one that bought? hmmmmmm

the caspers mcdonalds on n. florida ave tampa is the worste mcdonalds i have come accross, my family & i ordered chicken nuggets before & found hair in the chicken but we have also dealt with plent of harrassment from staff here at the mcdonalds as well as seen other customers being treated badly & harrassed by the staff & managers here but yet they let people that are on drugs come in here & be loud & ask everyone in here for money but the customers that do nothing wrong & are quite get treated bad. i just walked in mcdonalds again this evening to get a drink & get on laptop to talk to my mother & father back home on ther side of the country & one the staff members came up to me & informed me customers only alowed a half hour in here. i told her i just got here & she proseeded to let me know only customers that make purchases can come in here & that i not made a purchase that i supposedly braught in a outside cup to fill so i would have to leave when i had purchased the drink

Hello, I am a customer that loves to eat at McDonald's 3 times a day and 7 days a week, But i had a problem today with a white male that only sits in McDonald's just to use the Wifi. Everyday he sits at the table next to the women's restroom and doesn't buy anything that we as me and my boyfriend know of. But on this particular day my boyfriend and i were buying our normal 3 breakfast sandwiches, We happen to sit where this white male normally sits at when he's there. But when he got there he complain about us sitting in his spot when we were there first. As we were just about ready to leave he chased us out the restaurant and started yelling at us and using fowl language and told us that he would get the manger to trespass us if we didn't give up his seat. He also told us that the manger of McDonald's trespass us from there already but no one not even the manger told us that at all. But as we were leaving he told us that he would have to carve his name at this particular table. And i told him that would be vandalism. And also he threaten to call the police on us. And when i complain to the manger named mike there he said " this guy told us the complete opposite, and there's nothing we can do" McDonald's is my favorite restaurant and i don't want to get trespass for any reason at all, I rather eat there and buy there then any other restaurants. The address to this particular restaurant is Tyrone Blvd and 22nd Avenue North Saint Peters burg Florida. Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint and God bless to all and have a nice day.

My son-in- law was without notice let go by Casper's. This was several weeks ago and his final check is being withheld without explanation. I'm told there was no severance offered. After living in Tampa for 32 years, this is not the reputation I recall.
Who in their HR Department should my daughter and Son-in-Law contact to resolve this matter?
Thanks for your prompt response.

Re: Virgil Brownlee

I went to the McDonald's in Brandon on Hwy 60 (502 W. Brandon Blvd.) and ordered two 20 piece chicken mcnuggets, when I got home I only had half the order. By that time I had already changed my clothes and was getting ready to sit down to eat. I called the manager and told him I was very pissed and I did not want to waste my gas that day to go back to get the other half of the order. He said come back and I will make worth it. I went back through the drive thru, but some young boy tried to give me the other half and I told him no that the manager was going to take care of it. Well, I guess someone else took care of it so I drove all the was back just to get the other half of the order when I could have done that on another day. I WAS REALLY PISSED! Gas is expensive! I do not have time and money to go back and forth for there mistakes. Also while I was waiting in the drive thru someone in front of me was giving there food back also. I think someone needs to have a meeting with them! I live in Brandon, Florida and my phone number is [protected]. and my email is ndenise54@gmail.com. Thank you

Just had the worse service possible at the McDonalds in Tampa at Bearss and Florida. Got to the window to pay for 2 McDoubles, 2 medium fries, got waited on super fast taking the order and money when I reached the 2nds window at 11:15 PM. Then the problem started, it took 15 minutes to get the order and when we did, even though we ordered fresh fries, they were stone cold, not warm, not even close, cold. I could have understood if they were packed, they weren't. They had me pull up for the two cars behind mine. By the temperature of the bag, I knew someone fixed it and someone else forgot to bring it out. No receipt either at the time I paid or in the bag. Someone needs to go straighten those people out, they are super disorganized on this shift.

Sorry. I have no idea who typed that.

You're an idiot. If you didn't notice that your money was being taken out, you don't deserve the cash. Might I suggest you be more aware next time?

I as well use to work as a manager for Caspers. They pay thier management well over normal fast food restraunts as due to they expect their managers to always go above and beyond. I also know Bob I worked with him as an asst manager when he was a store manager and he taught me alot about customer service so I know that customers are always right is his Motto and I have never seen him do anything but go out of his way to make sure the customer is happy. He was so good at it that they made him in charge of public relations where he has worked for years giving donations and working with many charities as well as working with the Ronald McDonald house. I am sure he was unable to please you since there was nothing that could be done about the system they use and nothing was going to make you happy. As far as the restroom if you would have called the office and reported that they would have contacted the supervisor and called him to go to that store to see what was going on IMMEDIATLY as that was not tolerarated 10 years ago so I am sure its not tolerated now. Caspers is so dedicated to sanitation that the crew must stop and wash their hands every 30 minutes when the crew uses the restrooms they must wash their hands in the bathroom for show (so a customer does not see an employee leave the restroom without washing their hands) however when they return they are not allowed to go past the wash area and return to thier station until they wash their hands for 60 seconds and then sanitize and yes a timer is used. I know that Caspers is dedicated to sanitation and customer service and will do whatever it takes to make sure they do their best to satisfy the customer however even though they do try to acheive 100% customer satisfaction not everyone is going to be satisfied since they cannot do some things like change their payment system or cook breakfast at lunchtime and vice versa however they will do what they can. The reason I don't work there anymore is due to I had two heart attacks and couldn't keep up with the demands and responsibilities of the job. However I worked side by side with Bob as well as Robby Adams (Son in Law and owner of some of the stores) and they are dedicated to their customers and employees. If I had the energy I would still be working for them.

Dear Sir,

I am a manager at a Caspers Company Mcdonalds and I just wanted to address a few things with you.

First off, being unable to split a bill into half card and half cash has nothing to do with intelligence. Our machines, which are official Mcdonald's operation systems, will not allow split payments on our end. There is nothing we can do to fix this. If you needed to pay separately you should have said so before ordering so that we could have prevented you the annoyance of taking time to order and driving through. Next time might I suggest you dividing your order into two separate orders to pay with cash and card.

Secondly, for the many, many years I've worked at Caspers and have known Bob, he has been nothing more than the polite sort. Every day he goes out of his way to pacify customer complaints. He sends out Be Our Guest Cards and sends out people to investigate claims of unfair treatment. I find it hard to believe that he would be so rude to you. But then again, anything can happen given the right circumstances.

I find it funny that when something happens to a person, that person's mind will build up the event and depict the person who slighted them as a villain far more than they should. It's human nature. Everyone is guilty of it.

People also assume that everyone who works at a fast food restaurant is an idiot. It's usually the first insult we hear. "Are you stupid?" I assure you not all of us are stupid. I hold a double Bachelors in Business and I can guarantee that I have more education than most who come through. I'm not the only one. We are not beneath you because we work at a fast food restaurant, just like you aren't beneath anyone else for holding a different position in the work force.

As for the rest room issue, I can see the problem in that and it should be looked into.

I think you need to ask yourself what you did to receive the response that you did. Did you approach the situation with a level head? Did you raise your voice when you weren't getting your way, or did you talk over the issue like an adult?

How would you like it if someone drove up to your window and became militant with you over something you had no control over such as split bill ability?

Think about that before you call someone stupid. What complaints do you get at your place of business that are out of your control?

- A Caspers Company Manager

Same thing happened to me. I go to their drivethru every morning and today they did not lid my large coffee properly. Half of the cup spilled all over my car and the girl at the drivethru just starred at me. I handed her back the coffee and asked her to give me some napkins, instead she just pushed back the lid and gave me back the same cup! When I asked to speak to the manager, she did even do anything. The customer service is horrible and Im not letting this go, because my car is damage because of Mcdonald's employees not putting their coffee lids properly.

Coffee cup plastic lids. The problem is that pieces of the plastic separate from lid and consumer unknowingly drink material.

First of all i have to say mcdonalds make the best coffee, and I want to keep comming back to drink your coffee, but a number of times i have gone to this McDonalds and others in the area and bought my morning coffee, when i take my first sip i nearly gag from the smell of perfume or aftershave on the lids, it happened as recent as this morning, I asked her to change the lid, she did, but that one also smelt the same, she was quite rude about it to! Maybe you need to tell your workers not to put perfume anywhere near there hand area.. kind regards!

I spilled a large coffee all over my car. Luckily I was still in the parking lot so I could run inside and get napkins. Cleaning the leather seats was no problem, but it got all over the carpet in-between the seat and center console and under the seat. They gave me a free new coffee, but seriously, the lids pop off with the slightest touch! I hope my car doesn't smell like nasty coffee now, but I am pretty sure it does. Very dissatisfied. Also I got it all over my pants and sweatshirt.

I also have spoken to one of the managers previously regarding this matter before I have made a complaint on here, obviously it wasn't addressed to his staff..

I've had it with McDonald's coffee cup lids! I was once told by an employee that they were redesigning the lid so it doesn't leak out from under the lid. This has yet to be implemented. It spills on me and has ruined blouses of mine. I changed to McDonalds coffee because I felt it was better than Tim Hortons but am now boycotting McDonald until they fix their darn lids. How hard can this be, millions of companies have successfully designed coffee cup lids...why not McDonalds?

I order about 3 coffees a day and everytime i go to take a drink, the coffee leaks from under the lid. I got coffee stains on my shirts, dresses and sticky cup holders in my car due to this. Please change the lids.

Yes, they are terrible I have ruined 4 shirts and have to clean my truck at least 1/2 doz times, they should change back or fix it. Matt, Penticton B.C

u probably knocked the lid off! its suprising you have a job if u cant figure out how to put a coffee lid on!

You are a lowlife and I think you are lying about how much money you make. If you really made $80k a year, you would have more class and respect for other people's property. Since you supposedly make so much money, how about you invite the McDonald's manager over to your house and let him [censor] on your floor and see how you like it! You are a disgusting human being. You probably make so little you live in [censor] and are used to it.

hahahahahahahahhaha

What I find odd is that this post has generated more reaction than any serious problems other people posted. I agree with some of the comments, but why can SOME of us not take the time to respond to others problems that are serious yet post in response to some thirteen year old who obviously needs attention.

ha ha ha I agree thanks

whos ### me or the one who did this?

lmao sounds like a jack ### to me and if I was manager there ud be banned for hells life

$80, 000 a year? Like to come wash my Lambo, [censored]bag?

ur a [censored], [censored]!

Thank you. This was possibly the funniest thread I've read so far (aside from the neurotic RN who likes to harass Walmart employees).
:D

I love fake threads too, kim if you don't than don't insult the person atleast they make us laugh.

lol, why would u post a movie scene as a complaint ? funny though :P

at ro8...actually, what's disappointing is the fact that you didn't read the other comments. this is the plot line of a scene in "Big Daddy"...a MOVIE. omfg...get a grip. to billydude14 or 13..don't care...KUDOS! love it.

honestly..its sad that you wrote this in the first place..if the child cried thats a sign of a to spoiled child..u could at least explain that its lunch and there is nothing you can do about the timing..or suggest to them that we can always have breakfast at home..u know..the old fashion way..or if u REALLy want to go out..suggest another place..these blogs are disappointing

No thanks he wrote another letter from Big Daddy. Something about peeing outiside because the restaurant would not let them use the washrooms unless they bought something.

No, mrsquigles, complaint's letters are all bragging about how much money she makes and how better she is than everyone else. She brags that she makes more money than every living person in North America combined, and is racist. Billydude just makes troll letters for the fun of it. Big difference.

That's it, I'm convinced. Billydude13 = complain265.

didn't you say in a comment you made that you were 13 ?

little young to be a parent, don't ya think ?

Wow...it's been a long time since you've had breakfast at McD's, huh? They've stopped serving breakfast at 10:30 for YEARS now!

I understand the fascination with the Egg McMuffin -- my family loves them -- which is why I make them at home now. Perhaps you can make Jullian one at home as a surprise. Five year olds are easily amused by things like that.

As far as a Happy Meal, I really don't think it is McDonald's responsibility to give Jullian one. I think YOU should get him one for the language you used in front of him!

I'm not judging your parental skills, but just know that if a young child wants a certain thing to eat that they can't get, you have a potential "temper fit" arising. Don't make a situation worse by throwing out explatives and attitude yourself ! Kids pick up on your anger and next thing you know, you have an inconsolable child on your hands.

Good Luck to you and Jullian. I hope your next McD's visit is a pleasant one!

For furture reference, if you're looking for an unhealthy, crappy breakfast via drive thru, Jack in Box serves it 24/7.

Who cares if it was glue? Pat attention to what your kid is eatting. Also, there is nothing wrong with an occasional Happy Meal. When your kid hits 18 he's going to go on a Happy Meal binge because mommy never let him have one, then his weak, soy filled body is going to give out from not being used to digesting it. Either that of he's going to grow up to be a stuffy, old fun ruiner like his mommy. Screw this, I'm gonna go get me some fries.

What up the the damn toys? cheap dumb toys from china! what ever happen to the cool toys like hot wheels? i went to mcdonalds last week with my son and bought him a chicken nugget happy meal with an extra large fry, inside the happy meal was a stupid plastic mexican with a sombrero that pops off. now if it would turn in to a top then it would be kinda cool. but noooo it has no purpose and my poor son had a confused look on his face. lip started to tremble and then threw a fit for 5 hours! 5 HOURS! I suggest who ever is deciding on what the toys are should be fired.. and another thing... mcdonalds is an AMERICAN restaurant, our native tongue is ENGLISH! print ENGLISH on the bags and directions!

twitter, what is wrong with feeding her child Mcdonalds. I am sure that your parents took you to Mcdonalds from time to time becauase they were too tired to cook, or because you wanted a treat.

Darenna Quinn, Jason Tillo is a troll and just posting that to get you worked up.

Mickeyd I very doubt that you are a manager at Mcdonalds. (perhaps you are) or perhaps you just read this letter and posted that. If you were my guess is that you would write about every complint about Mcdonalds.

As a manager of a quite successful McDonalds, let me say first I am very sorry for your experience with us. We take our customers' complaints very seriously.

In this case, what you thought was a white glue chip is actually an dried, unprepared McNugget. During the preparation process, we soak the freeze-dried nuggets in water overnight which softens them up and then we fry them in oil for serving. Unfortunately one of these unprepared nuggets must have fallen into your box during the packaging of your order.

Please don't worry as even if you had eaten the chip, it would not have caused any health issues as it is not poison. But, your teeth would have gotten quite a workout!

I was one of these girls! I know exactly the manager you are talking about. When I first began working at Nambour McDonalds I began to receive messages on my personal mobile from this manager. He began simply asking me how I was enjoying working. As this man was my boss, and not knowing whether it was common practice for managers to contact new staff to see how things were going I replied. However shortly after, his messages became more personal asking about my "love life" etc. At this point I ceased replying.

Although at the time, I did not do anything about it, I feel now that I should have notified someone. People like this should not be allowed to work in a place with access to people’s personal records, let alone young girls.

Nambour McDonald’s, seems however, to have little concerns with sexual assault matters such as this. On one occasion I was working on drive-thru in the morning and a man came through with his genitals fully exposed. When I notified the managers they told me to forget about it, and that this man does it all the time. Surely a matter such as indecent exposure to young girls is something of a concern, and should be dealt with in order to prevent it from happening again, or more serious matters progressing.

Nambour McDonald's should seriously review both their managers intentions and staff policies, and wake up to the dangers they are putting their staff through.

You made it seem as though the worms came out of the coffee machine. That's why I said the whole thing about the coffee pumps. And if you clearly know they DIDN'T come out of their machines, HOW can you blame them for worms BEING in YOUR cup? It's not their fault that worms are in your coffee. You don't know if you had worms with you or not. Did you check your bags, hair, clothes to be SURE you didn't carry any worms? I doubt it. So you can't say that the worms didn't come from you. There are no other logical solutions since we all know worms can't come out of coffee machine. And since you KNOW this, that means either they fell in your cup OR someone put them there.

There are some very unprofessional people who run businesses. I know this, but at the same time, anyone can see that this was deliberate. To be honest, I think that someone is out for some money. That is a health hazard, and I think that if you were really serious about it, you would have had the worms sent off to be tested. That way they can tell IF indeed the did come from the coffee at McDonald's.

And FYI, I actually AM very well versed in terms of the restuarant business. :)

Ok I see your pictures, but honetly, HOW would the worms have come out of the coffee? Most chains us a pump machine for their coffees. I think either you or your husband either PUT the worms in the coffee OR they fell in the cup. I don't buy your story, and that's why they aren't taking you serious. I agree with the above poster, WHY are you attaching yourself like you were hurt?

You won't get an apology because then, it would make it look like they admitted fault in the incident. If for whatever reason it ended up in court later, that letter would make them unable to claim they didnt have anything to do with it, and you are just a crank who slipped them into it later.

Also, you kept saying "we" like you were an injured party -- You mention your husband went to the doctor, not yourself. This set up a red flag with them that they have a busybody attaching themselves to the incident and taking control. They have no reason to talk with *you* at all.

i hope whoever reads this thinks about worms in their coffee before they get their next order from mcdonalds, that place is gross

They run an ad claiming they are a dollar, but I have never seen a McD that charges only a dollar. Customer service claims that one somewhere in Houston does, but they could not tell me where. My guess is that none sell them that cheap and they are running a scam ad.

stop crying

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.
