10 things you find annoying about McDonald’s

Do you remember the story about an American man who—understatement of the year—didn’t take it particularly well when they forgot his dipping sauce with the Chicken McNuggets? This man apparently thought it was an appropriate response to threaten to blow up the restaurant.

Now, I think you agreed that this went a little too far, but you did come up with your own annoyances about Maccie. And I’ve listed them all! Because unfortunately, many of them sounded all too familiar to me as well. Maccie, are you reading this? Get your sh*t together. No, just kidding—you still make the tastiest burgers. With the occasional little blemish here and there.

10 things you find annoying about McDonald’s

1. “They always forget the sauce, or a bun is missing or something like that… How hard is it to read a receipt and see everything you’re supposed to pack?! If they forget something in my order, I always want to blow them up too! “

2. “They make huge mistakes, especially with sauces!!! You pay a lot for them, but 8 times out of 10 they aren’t included… And yes, you can say: ‘Check it’… No, surely I should be able to expect them to do their job properly!!!! And the longer I stand at the drive-through checking, the colder the food is by the time I get home. Blowing up McDonald’s goes too far, but I do understand his enormous frustration.”

3. “A course called ‘For fuck’s sake, put in the bag what it says on your fucking screen’ wouldn’t be an unnecessary luxury for many employees either.”

4. “One time I ordered 2 Chili Chicken burgers and when I got home, they were hamburgers!!!!!!
I’m Hindu and I’m not allowed to eat beef!!! And it’s not allowed to enter my house either!!!
Thanks a lot, McDonald’s, maybe God will send me to hell!!!!!
Oh yeah, please bring back the Chicken Sensation soon! So many people are waiting for it, but you’re doing nothing about it.”

(Okay, this last part isn’t entirely true, because… Sensational news: the Chicken Sensation is back at McDonald’s!)

5. “I had the same feeling when I ordered a vanilla milkshake and received a strawberry milkshake .
Well, when I got home, I was looking forward to my milkshake I feel you!!!!”

6. “There’s always something wrong. I’ve never had a complete order there in my life, and I only go once a year maybe—go figure. Hamburger bun without a burger, you ask for no onion and still get onion, then you have to remove it yourself and end up with no sauce or cheese left, no dipping sauce for the fries—I could go on for hours.”

7. “Recently, they forgot a large part of my order. It couldn’t be sent afterward, and I was pissed too. A lesson on how to get complete orders out the door wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

8. “Or they give you 4 Chicken McNuggets instead of the shrimp. “

9. “I understand that. When you get vegetarian Chicken McNuggets, or they forget the Big Mac, or simply get your order wrong for the millionth time.”

10. “I’ve already had it happen twice that the BBQ sauce wasn’t included with the Chicken McNuggets, and then they give you sweet-and-sour sauce with your meal. Well, that quickly kills my appetite. But I wouldn’t blow up the restaurant anytime soon.”

Even more annoyances?

Do you have an annoyance caused by Maccie too? Please let me know. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all your responses.
