McDonald's customer service

On my way home from work I decided to stop in at McDonald's on Wyandotte in South Bethlehem, PA. There was almost no line (just 2 or 3 cars) in the drive thru, so I queued. The line did not move for about 9-10 minutes until I was able to place my order. When I did, there was no total given, no "thank you", no "please pull up to the first/second window"...they just stopped talking. Then after another 5 minutes or so, I pulled up to the first window, assuming that's where I would pay since there was no sign saying to pull forward. I waited about 90 seconds after the car ahead of me was a car length ahead of me at the second window until I pulled forward. When I arrived at the second window, I saw all of the employees moving in small circles around each other while talking and laughing. No one looked at me staring at them for 3 whole minutes! Then a girl with a headset looked at me, stopped laughing, and ran to the back. I still have not paid mind you. About a minute later a guy with a headset came up and said $7.69 with no repeat of my order and then took my card and went to the back (most likely the first window). Then another man with a headset came to the window and asked, "did you have the [not what I ordered]?" to which I said, "no." He then said, "oh right right you had the [what I ordered]." About 30 seconds later the other headsetted man returned with my card and receipt and then went back to the first window. At this point there are 3 cars behind me who have definitely already ordered. I understand that I cause extra time for these patrons by not waiting longer at the first window, but all together 2 minutes at McDonald's should be enough time for the cashier to return to their station no matter what they were tending to. Finally a bag is plopped down next to the man in the headset who reiterated my order. He is talking with the young headsetted lady, a patron and another employee while two other employees are conversing behind the register. No one is doing anything at all. So I give it 30 seconds until I say, "Hey! I think that's my order sitting there" then a woman throws my fries in it just as I am finishing my statement. The headsetted man snatched my bag and dangles it inside the window, taunting me. I say, "Maybe if you weren't gossiping, I would have had it 5 min..." and he cut me off with, "She just got done the order, dude". I excused myself and said I will never be back.

McDonald's guntersville, al mcdonald’s

My boyfriend and I stopped in at the Guntersville McDonald’s before going to the lake. We ordered a large tea, and when we got it, he decided he wanted a coke. He asked the woman if she could add a large coke to it and she huffed and rolled her eyes and in a rude voice said “Uhhh you’ll have to leave and come back.” The McDonald’s in Boaz where we live always had such nice employees and they will do anything for you. We have never been to a McDonald’s where they wouldn’t let you add something when you forgot it. We ended up leaving and going to another restaurant to get a coke because of the hateful employee at the window.

Many drive thru windows work on a two windows system. One which tenders the purchase and the second for providing you with product. It's possible that they didn't have a way to ring a new order up at the window you were at.

McDonald's Customer service

I went to your Hartwell location today. I was having my order taken when a manager had asked a older black man why the cook was running the register and not him. He said I was getting something for someone else. The black man made a remark to the white man running the register. He said "Boy, you aren't suppose to be up here. You need to go back" after that remark the black male took my order. We received our food. When I opened up my children's happy meals there was no extra fries or sweet and sour sauce. So I took my receipt up front and told the black man that I was missing extra fries and sauce. I asked for 2 gogurts and the sauces. He said were they not in your boxes...with an attitude. I said no they were not. He said I can give you extra fries I said no its okay...he then blamed the stuff being wrong on another employee.

McDonald's Wrong food received at drive-through

This past Wednesday evening I was heading home from taking my daughter to an emergency room visit. After sitting so long I was too tired to go home and cook, so as I passed McDonald's at 5:50 5 Albany Ave., Kingston New York, I pulled in and ordered a big Mac with extra onion and a Oreo Mc flurry. When I got up to the window very nice girl was about to hand me the bag of food when another girl told her weight. She looked in the bag and said to me… "Oh she threw in some fries, I'm going to leave them instead of taking back out." So I asked her if I have the right burger/big Mac with extra onions… Twice she said yes. I got home around 8:10 PM and sat down to eat, Only to find that I had a quarter pounder with only cheese pickles and catsup. I was very disappointed but too tired to return to McDonald's. I ate half of it, and threw it away… That's how much I didn't like it. I probably should've looked into the bag myself and check to see if I have the right order, but I didn't. If I did I would've seen it have a tag on the top saying quarter pounder. However I don't feel it was my job since I asked her twice if it was Correct.
If you need proof of this error, I'm sure you can look up receipts from your registers from about 7:55 PM to 8:05 PM on Wednesday October 18, 2017, And you will see that someone else must've ordered a special made quarter pounder, and I ordered a special made a big Mac.

McDonald's Service and quality

I have had a multitude of errors at this store, Lemonade that is soda water, cheeseburgers without cheese. The most recent a few weeks ago I rang to complain as the Family box was missing a burger and nuggets. I suggested implementing a quality check at the end process to help with the constant errors. I was offered a courtesy meal box the next time I came to the store. I have just left the drive through to collect the courtesy meal and was told the only way I could receive this was to go to the front counter. The error was made through the drive through? I have been inconvenienced on numerous occasions. I am then to park my car, remove my children from the car. Walk through the shopping centre to collect the meal. I asked why there was no way I could collect from the drive through and was told this is store policy. Is this because the store actually enjoys inconveniencing people. It is not a great service. So I drove away without the courtesy meal.

McDonald's nfl show of disdain to fallen warriors.

I can NO LONGER watch football, knowing the hatred many of the team's player's have for the country they make their million's of dollar's in.
How can these pampered fat cat's be so disrespectful of a symbol, when there are military in front of them, MISSING limbs, standing at attention.
Until this is fixed, I can't watch the NFL, or visit my local McDonalds in Santa Clara, where I have spent countless hours with my Grandson. We will make due with Wendy's, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, or any other eating establishment.
I can't believe McDonald's puts up with this. I guess your employees are free to put forward that same disrespectful show of disdain WHILE AT WORK? I doubt it !

McDonald's Hot coffee cup lids

I’ve been drinking your coffee and hot tea for many, many years. Recently, I’d say within the last 6 weeks, your Lids have been making the coffee spill out onto my lip and clothing, leaving burns and stains! Last Sun. I ordered a hot tea, took a sip, it spilled out of the lid and onto my bottom lip and white top. I had to put ice on my lip that’s how bad it was, it blistered and is now healing.

I am thinking you changed your Lids, if so, please look into this and change them to something that we can drink out of. From now on, I’ll be bringing my my own coffee cup when I go to McDs.

McDonald's Overcharging

I ordered 4 mcdoubles at the houston eastex freeway & the girl charged me for quarter pounders with cheese. When i go to mcdonalds i only get from the $ menu as i lived on a veterans income. the receipt number is customer number 382 on 1/3/2017 ks#3 side2 order 82.

I was charged $20.31 for what was supposed to be 4 mcdoubles & two medium cokes. my husband & i had drove in from fort worth & we were hungry before going to see my new niece.

we did not catch it until we sat down, so it was too late then. my husband was already upset, but this is absurd.

I would like a refund of the difference between the quarter pounders with cheese & the mcdoubles that we should have been charged for.

McDonald's Sponsorship

We can no longer purchase or support your product because of your support of the National Football League (NFL); the owners and Player Association.

They have offended the American people by their stand on the National Anthem. As such, they show no respect for the men and women in the Armed Services who have given them the right to sit in their comfort zones while men and women die for their freedom of speech.

Our SONS and DAUGHTERS, GRANDSONS and GRANDDAUGHTERS who have served and are currently serving are more important to us than your product.

Until you stand with our service men and women, show respect for our Flag and our National Anthem and stand AGAINST the NFL, we will not support your product.

Respectfully,
Proud parents and grand-parents of former and current service personnel

McDonald's The service and rudeness to customers

I went to McDonald’s in Saluda Sc this morning at 8am through the drive through ordered a McMuffin with just egg white they take my money I drive to the second window n the girl gives me the wrong food. It was a egg and bacon biscuit . I hand it back n gave her my receipt she has me waiting for another 3-4 mind n says we are out of McMuffins. So I asked for my money back n then then had me pull up and wait I’m sitting there just waiting I finally got out my car after five mins and asked for my money the manager with the dreads rolls her eyes n starts yelling for the other manager. She rude all the time. So I wasted 20 mins in the drive through and gas for these rude ppl not to give me my food. If you know u don’t have something don’t sell it n just give me something else n hope I don’t care.

McDonald's Cold food

Fries were cold when i got them. They also tasted stale so I am not sure what to make of it. I wish they had some kind of regular quality control so I could get a consistent meal and they vary in quality across locations.Fries were cold when i got them.

McDonald's Service

The service of McDonald staffs at the Bangkok Hospital branch is terrible. Today I went into McDonald, the queue was quite long, I saw the foreigner tried to ask if he can buy the food from other counter but noone care, only 1 counter is available for food ordering so I went to find some seats and wait for awhile to come back to the line which was shorten than earlier. I wanted to have fried chicken with the promotion.
When I reached the counter, I ordered the cashier, Ms. Kanticha Posuwan, asked me have I dial the promotion code from my mobile phone. I said no, I don't know what number to dial, can she tell me please. She said the poster of that promotion is overthere then she pointed to the poster. It means I have to step out of the line to see the code, dial, the come back to queue again. I asked do you have it here at the counter. She said no, just go overthere and dial the number.
I was upset. Is this McDonald way of treating people who want to buy foods with promotion? Staffs of this branch just don't care to service the customers. She just tell me the code so I have order the food, that's it.

Your kind consideration into this matter is highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Tamita

McDonald's Customer service mcdonalds

Hello i am writing to complain about the quality of customer service concerning the lift at your Grafton store. My mum and i were passing through Grafton on the 20/9/2017 on our way to visit family and we stopped to get a coffee now as my mum is an amputee and had and artificial leg she is unable to walk the stairs so we used the lift to go up which was all fine going up but after receiving our coffee (which was luke warm i will add) we proceeded to use the lift to go down but on pressing the intercom to activate the button to go down nothing happened we did this 3 times before my mum walked into store and spoke a staff memeber stating the lift intercom button didnt seem to working they claimed they didnt here it so we pressed it a few more times with still nothing we waited again for staff member to see to us and still noone came to help us all this as they saw my mum and i standing outside the lift waiting i thought it was rude after telling them it wasnt working you really think someone would come out to see what the issue was and fix so my mum with her disability had to end up walking down your numerous amount of stairs which i find very disgraceful what is the sense having a lift if it is only going to work to go up and not down i am utterly appalled at the lack of consideration your staff gave to my mum especially after she went in and told them it wasnt working and yet still had to end up walking down those stairs and the numerous of rude people who just pushed passed my mother even though it was clear she had a walking stick but if your lift was functioning correctly that would never have been the issue and my mother would have never had to walk those stairs ...

McDonald's Ignorance

I am disgusted with the way I get spoken to, I regularly go to Emerton McDonalds & the customer service is appalling, they speak into the drive through speakers very short & rude as if you are interrupting their time & when you get to the window to pay they take your money without a please, thank you or kiss my butt, then the same at the widow to collect the food... Ignorance is disgusting & people like me are the people who keep the business going by eating there so I think we deserve to be spoke to with a bit of manners, they don't cost anything... Also If I am the only one to be in my car & I buy more than 1 drink, of course I need a drink holder, should I really be asked if I do like I am putting someone out?... My daughter who is nine, ran in one day while I waited in the car, to get a slushie drink, after 20 minutes I was wondering what happened to her & started to worry so I went in, she was waiting in a queue for 1 slushie, seriously, the person behind the counter who was doing nothing could of filled up 1 cup of drink for her surely, I can understand if she wanted food... all in all, the manners (or lack of) & treatment of customers in this store is atrocious & it's ALL the time

McDonald's Hot chocolate

I purchased 2hot chocolates from the McDonalds kiosk at Cape town station but received 2 water and milk with chocolate sprinkles. When i told the lady that it didn't taste like hot chocolate she just gave me a blank stare. I then opened the take away cup and asked her for a stirrer, she passed me 1 i stirred whatever she was trying to sell as hot chocolate and when there was no change in the taste I proceeded to tell her that she cant be selling this as hot chocolate because it tastes like watery milk and definitely not worth the R44 I had just paid... Still just the blank stair! This was such an anti climax from the amazing hot chocolate I normally get from the Adderley street branch. If you are going to make use of the machines at the kiosks the least they can do is ensure the taste is right! Very disgusted by this product and service or atleast the lack of service

McDonald's A real pig city

Takoma Park MD store #728. The dirtiest place ever. There's trash all over the floor. Something sticky on the tables. The tables themselves are filthy, their surfaces are covered with something gross. Looks like they don't even clean them with wet rags. If only you could see their food preparation places.
Who are they cook for? For pigs? Terrible.

McDonald's inattentive staff

McDonald's in Fort Worth, TX. The staff is inattentive and absolutely careless. They confuse orders and may give you something you didn't want, just because they simply didn't listen to you. Even if you asked for simple things. It's really irritating. I would forgive it if it didn't happen over and over again. Just thought it would be useful for their corporates to know.
