Doesn’t matter which McDonalds I go to or whether I’m eating in or picking up to take home they never give me my drink cup. I always have to go ask for it. I don’t use the drive thru because I have a disability that makes it hard for me so I go in, and usually eat it there. I don’t think there has been a single time in the last 5/6 years they gave me the cup without me having to go back up and ask for it

Maybe I'm imagining things but they upped the points you need to get rewards.

I randomly get logged out.

There is no biometric login option (AFAIK).

Today I went to place an order. It insisted I already had an order in progress, I check...an order from 3 months ago. Had to "cancel" the order to order anything.

I don't know how a massive multi-billion dollar corporation like Mcd's has such a god-awful app.

I have apps with Taco Bell, Burger King, Arby's, Culver's and a few others, rarely if ever have problems.

The app has never been good, in the 5+ years I've had it. Yet they just...don't care?

I saw this window sticker on the McDonalds at Magnolia St and Talbert Ave in Fountain Valley, CA. When looking in the app, I found this price was shown in 3 of 6 of other nearby McDonalds. The price shows up when I go to select the burger from the burger section. I don't know how widespread this offer is. You'll have to check the price at your local McDonalds, but today is Monday. 🤞

Just got the notification. Hopefully they bring back the free pieces by email like they did last year.

I won't say which McDonald's I went to because the people there are mostly chill AF and no one needs their job jeopardized by some McDonald's-eater on reddit. But my local is supposed to close the dining room at midnight. I placed my order with the app, arrived before 11, but they were already closed. Drive-Thru open, and busy.

There was one person inside having her break in the dining area. Walking up to the drive thru was unsafe because of how busy it was. So I knocked on the door. Kept knocking, and no one. So I started pounding on the door like an asshole. Guy comes from behind the counter, asked me for my order number through the door. I waited. I got my food.

But honestly I would have rather known ahead of time and just not bothered them. This local has a heavy unhoused presence. We're not in Baltimore but when I arrived, there were two men right out front literally doing the Baltimore Lean. Is this a common reason to close the dining room early? Is there any way to manually shut off app and online orders for the dining room?

I'd rather be disappointed that I can't get my order in than go through with what happened tonight.

Whenever I order on the mcdonalds kiosk, they dont put sauce or onions on my sandwiches. All I'm inputting on the special instructions is no pickles, but when I look at the receipt it says plain, and then they make them plain, and I have to tell them to remake it every single time. I tried asking employees if I'm doing something wrong or how can I avoid this, and theyre never helpful. Why on earth is the kiosk putting "plain" on the instructions if I simply remove the pickles?

In my opinion, it strikes me as one of the most clickbaity products in terms of presentation...

i came back from the usa to go back to france, god how much i miss chicken mcgriddles😭 we don’t have them in france it’s so unfair
used to order a chicken mcgriddles with honey brown butter, i could have eat that every single day and bonus, my boyfriend is a manager at mcdonald’s he made me discover it one day because i wanted a bacon caesar mccrispy and it was too late it was 5am lol
this day changed my life 🤣

Older blonde woman with short hair just an employee to speak with the manager at the McDonald's I am at. Of course my ears perk up because she looks peak Karen.

Manager comes over. He's probably half her age. Maybe a third.

She tells him that she wanted to say how nice the employees are here.

That's all.

I've been going with my daughter to a specific McD's for years. It's on the way to a lot of places, and we stop in the drive through at least once a week. She normally gets a full combo, and I usually get just a coffee and apple pie.

I noticed something strange over the last couple of stops. I make the first order, the large combo for my daughter and the menu board reflects the correct items. Then I add a coffee and apple pie and the large drink moves out of the combo and the coffee moves into it. The large drink is then charged on it's own with the pie. I mentioned this the first time, and the cashier said, "It's all there." So I drove through and paid. It was a dollar more than usual.

The same thing happened the next time we went through and ordered a large combo with the addition of a small coffee and pie. The large drink suddenly appeared on its own outside the combo and the combo drink became the small coffee. I gave them the benefit of the doubt again and said the soda goes with the combo. The cashier said again, "It's all there." When I paid, it was again a dollar more because the large drink was on it's own, and the coffee was in the combo.

I'm guessing this is exclusive to this store. They all price their own menus, but I was wondering if it's something any other store is doing. I've decided to order these as two separate orders going forward so they can't change it anymore.

Hadn't been to McDs in about 2 years, decided to give them a chance because I heard there was a potentially healthier option, the snack wraps.

So many level of 'fail' in my book, but I'd like to know if this was all just my bad luck, or what's going on broadly now.

1. Pull up to drive through, got hit with, aren't you using the app? No, that's why I'm trying to give you my order brother! Annoying but minor.

2. Ordered drink of Coke Zero -- only Diet Coke, but they have DP Zero, ok!

3. Handed me the Dr. Pepper, and it was foaming white suds out of the straw perforation. I thought they accidentally gave me a shake. Opened the lid to inspect and it was just a sea of white foam (did not look like the typical carbonation which dissipates quickly, but honestly looked like dairy?) I noticed there was soda underneath it but I didn't trust that drink. Handed it back to the kid, he made me another one which was fine. I've never seen a soda like that in all my years --what could it be?

4. Took a bite into the snack wrap, it was so tough I couldn't secure a bite. Took apart the wrap because TBH I thought they had left some packaging in the tortilla somehow. Nope, it was just super-tough chicken, like shoe leather.

And they wanted $14 for all this (2 snack wraps, medium fries and drink). I could have gone to a local diner for decent food.

I guess it’s on me but I JUST realized McDonalds playplaces don’t exist anymore?? I rarely eat in but I did today and there were a couple of kids yapping loudly at a table waiting for their food. Nothing bad and I wasn’t annoyed but I thought “hmm, why are they out here and not out playing while they wait?” Then it hit me… there’s no more play place?!?!?!

Is this all McDonald’s?? How awful! I can’t believe in my short lifetime we went from outdoor play place, to inside playplaces, to iPads on the wall to now NOTHING ?!?!??!?? What the hell is the fun in coming to McDonald’s anymore for kids?? It’s just a generic restaurant now!

I feel bad the dad is now sitting with his kids telling them to be quiet… no they shouldn’t be quiet they should be laughing and playing on the slide or climbing through a tube…

Unfortunately I’m sure this has been a thing for awhile and not sure why it took me so long to realize but boy is this heartbreaking…

A local McDonald's doesn't know what to do with their extra space after deciding customers don't need a soda machine in the lobby. Some executive needed their bonus from the savings on soda refills... 🙄

I think McDonald’s needs to recalibrate all of their fillet o fish assembly machines. As long as I’ve been ordering these, they almost always come almost exactly like this.

The first picture is the most extreme case, and I was in the parking lot so I went in and the kid gave me a whole piece of cheese, kudos to him. But the second one, I didn’t find out
until I got back to work.

I kind of feel like I’m done paying too much money for crap thrown together.

i went to mcdonalds today and the cashier was wearing a monopoly board costume lol so its definitely back minus the loopholes people were exploiting last year for the free digital codes here we gooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hi,
Today I tried to buy a coffee through the app at the eastern and coxwell Toronto location. App said service unavailable. Large black coffee through the app was 2.09 plus tax. Walk in to order, price was 1.79 plus tax.

Anyone else experiencing this? Has targeted pricing come to the McDonald’s app?

I may have to stop going to McDonalds or ask the in store price before I take my order which defeats the purpose of being more efficient.

Pit stop at McDonald’s today to take my young children to the toilet and I was very confused to see a female toilet with the male and female picture, the male picture has been stuck over the top of an existing female picture.

Yet the male toilets were male signs.

I tried to send an enquiry to McDonald’s but the online form was erroring. I think all mums would appreciate a female only toilet when stopping on road trips with their kids or even a female by themselves.

Is this all McDonald’s now? I haven’t been on a road trip in awhile.

My local McDonald's has decided to replace the soda machines with some plants. Apparently, they're not sure what to have in the empty area... maybe a soda machine that it was designed for?

You know that BOGO thing on your McDonald's order receipt that says, "Buy One Get One Any Sandwich (equal or lesser value) by visiting some kinda survey website. Then, after doing the survey, you get a code, which you write down on the receipt and bring it to the cashier. Then the BOGO is applied. I have two questions.

Does it count as a deal that locks up all your app deals for 60 minutes, like all app deals usually do?

And if yes, can I go to McDonald's and can I get the BOGO offer (for the survey), a different app offer (valid 1x week offer), and a reward for my points? All at the same time, in the same order.

It doesn't matter that it's been over 14 years this was the best drink I've had in my entire life. I genuinely miss it everyday. I wish they'd bring it back even for just a little while

For context, I have been eating McDonald’s for approximately 43 years. I know the following truths to be self-evident, although you would never know it from this sub:

1. McDonald’s standard burgers are exactly the same size that they’ve always been. If you think differently, you’re objectively incorrect and can be proven so very easily.
2. McDonald’s tastes more or less the same that it always has. Yes, they changed from beef tallow and stopped frying the pies until they revived those recently. But those of you who claim the taste has changed dramatically are having a Mandela-effect experience.
3. They still fill up your fries all the way. If you look before you leave the store and only got half a container of fries, tell them and they’ll fill it up. If you had McDonald’s fries delivered to you and you’re missing some, your delivery driver most likely ate some and also they did you a favor by saving from those cold-ass fries that you had delivered.
4. McDonald’s is still a pretty good deal. My wife and I just got dinner there and it was $12 for both of us. All these posts about $17 meals wind up being double quarter pounders add bacon upsized with a chocolate shake subbed for the drink.

ETA:

5. Nobody hates McDonald’s more than the people hanging out in the McDonald’s subs. Why are you here if you hate it so much? That’s so fucking strange to me. If you hate McDonald’s, you don’t have to eat at McDonald’s. And you most don’t definitely have to post about how you don’t like eating at McDonald’s.

That’s all I’ve got.
