McDonald's customers are experiencing widespread issues with rude and unprofessional staff behavior, particularly from managers. Order accuracy is a major problem with frequent missing items and incorrect preparations, while food quality concerns include cold, old, or improperly cooked items. Extended wait times and poor service recovery when issues occur are compounding customer frustration.

Lazy workers. Was told that lunch would be served starting at 10:30 at the BWI airport. I waited to order and then I was told that it would not be served until 11:00 because they had not dropped the food yet.

So I went to a different store in the airport and spent $40 to get food I did not want. Then when I walked back by the McDonalds at 10:36 they were already serving lunch.

Why have a drive thru if every time you order .. your asked to park and wait for 15 minutes or more for your food. I was even told by drive thru.. that skip and Uber come first.. before customers that show up.

I have complained to head office on several occasions and all I was told is I'm sorry. The clock is ticking when it's drive thru and they are timed. But never offer anything free for the time and gas you waste.

Not my fault that the business cannot handle online orders. Used to be if they make you wait .. your order is free. Maybe time to bring that back. Being parked for an ice coffee.. is ???

On July 30 2023 at McDonalds on Turney Rd and Rockside I had a mobile order (1644). Food was to be ready in 5 minutes. I watched numerous people come in and get their food before me. I watched a worker by pass my ticket to give someone else an order.

I tried to get the manager attention but was ignored. About 30 minutes later my order disappeared from the screen. I went to the counter and told a worker what had happened.

Finally I got my food. This was ridiculous. Want refund.

Hi I’m writing this because I’m very disappointed that you went to mobile order and pay to use you deals. I’m a senior citizen and don’t use that. It’s moe confusing than it should be. My sister and friends meet there a few days a week.

But don’t go there as much because of that. McDonald’s has always been our favorite place to grab lunch. We would like it if you could go back to the chose either mobile pay or use in restaurant. I know it’s probably easier for your employees but it doesn’t help the older people at all.

I’m speaking not only for me but many seniors who have gone to other restaurants that offer in restaurant deals. Thank you

This is the second time my drive thru order was missing a meal. This time it was a 10 piece nuggets. The location of the restaurant is 3805 northlake Blvd, palm beach gardens, fl. As I am sure you. An understand, this is very frustrating when you are grabbing drive thru food for hungry kids, especially.

I would very much appreciate a refund. Thank you.

McDonalds should be called McGreedy based on the current prices of their food. I am disgusted about the price gauging McDonald's feels they are entitled to. I get it: you're shareholders are the most important part of your business but I guess so is screwing the customer and raise prices significantly.

Until the prices come down, I'll never eat there again. Burger King doesn't do this.

My son had an interview today at 230 at McDonald's in Amarillo, tx on western st By 3 o'clock he had not been called on and a few minutes later the guy that came in after him had been called on. My son never got interviewed.

He is a pretty big boy and I would hate for that to be the reason why he was deliberately over looked. Will never have anything else to do with with McDonald's.

In less than 60 days, I contacted you regarding the horrible customer service at the Tabor City, North Carolina location. I frequent this location at least weekly (if not 3 to 4 times per week) and have done so for the past several years and am so frustrated because I have seen the quality of the service go down rapidly along with the non-caring attitude of a few employees increasing rapidly.

What is going on there? Your other close locations to me in Loris, South Carolina, North Myrtle Beach, SC, and Whiteville, North Carolina have wonderful service. What's going on at your Tabor City, North Carolina location?? It makes me feel so sad and extremely disappointed when I head to this location because I really l enjoy the taste of the iced tea at Mcdonald's. Sincerely, Tina Andrews

Went for a quarter pounder meal today 7/23/23 at approximately 12:30. The whole restaurant was a mess. It seemed like two other families received their meal before us as they used the order submitter after us. Nearly everyone that had ordered had to go back up and complain they did not receive all of their order, or it was not correct.

There was no salt, no catsup, the trash was overflowing from the deposit bin. The employees were just sauntering around. The french fry machine beeped constantly without being tended to. Our fries were overcooked, the quarter pounder had dried out quite a bit before we got it.

The one employee that seemed to be "doing it all" customer service-wise was a sweet, young black girl named Keasia. Is there no management there? This was at the Highway 98 McDonalds…

12414 Lagrange Road Louisville, KY 40241 7/21/2023 Approximately 1130 am.

Pulled in drive through, person on speakers speaks and commences with "yeah". I said I'd like a large drink. He says something that I could not understand. I pulled to window #1 at which point I pay and ask for a receipt. He says "next window". I pulled to next window, get my drink and promptly again ask for a receipt. I was asked to go to drive through #1. I asked "for a receipt"? She said yes. Needless to say I never got a receipt to go along with the rude people working there.

We were at restaurant 6910 in Kingsland GA. The cashiers were relatively new. The female cashier had long hair in a ponytail. She was playing and twisting her hair while standing at the register. I did mention it to her.

She stopped for a bit then proceeded to play with her hair. 00+. I ordered a bacon and cheese mcgriddle meal. He rang up a sausage and cheese mcgriddle minus the sausage add bacon and add cheese then hash brown and drink. 79.

I tried to explain to him it wasn't correct but he just got nervous. I decided to go ahead and pay and leave. I was going to talk to the manager but she was in a little confortation with another customer.

Your McDonald’s store#10621 was not handling a reasonable amount of customers today when I arrived and there were more employees working than customers. I attempted to order your mix n match and the order taker simply couldn’t grasp a simple order and miss-input it 4 times backing the line up further.

I waited a very long time for a simple order. They were calling multiple order numbers well past mine. When I complained to a worker, she was holding my order but calling out the wrong number to the crowd. Then I had to ask for my drink (every other customer had similar issues).

When I reviewed my receipts, I was charged more for my drink than the menu board showed. Horribly mismanaged operation at this location. This was a fine-in purchase but I normally go through the drive thru. Their…

Staff refused to honor a valid receipt presented to them for a discount as stated on the receipt. Staff claimed that the receipt came from a store out of their region. The receipt only states that it has to be a participating US McDonalds store which they are as they have accepted receipts in the past from stores all over the state of Michigan. We are totally upset that McDonalds has taken the lead in misleading their customers in such a manner.

We normally use McDonalds stores as we travel back and forth to the East Coast to visit family and vacationing in Flordia. After this experience and depending on the outcome I can assure you that this is subject to change for us and our kind words about McDonalds will cease. Our receipt has the Survey Code and the Validation Code and we are well…

Since mobile app has been updated it is terrible. Last 4 times I was there it would only let me order 1 item. As soon as I try to order another 1 it erases the first item. Called to complain but no one returned my call.

Have taken to just drive away and not order anything. Sooooo frustrating. Thanks for returning my call??? Nice way to run a business.

I went to one of your McDonalds today. The young man that helped me was very rude. He works at the McDonald's at the Walmart in elmirage. It is on thunderbird. I order a hamburger I didn't want mustard on it I wanted mayonnaise.

He then told me I should go to burger king. I just looked at him. Then he said oh just joking. Even if he was he shouldn't be joking like that. Next time I will go to burger king.

She didn't understand so I proceeded to our table. When she brought our food, I asked to speak to a manager. The manage came out and listened as I explained. She then went to talk to the young lady at the register.

She then went into the kitchen and never returned to discuss it with me. Everyone at the restaurant was nice and I am not at all concerned about the dollar that I was shorted. However,…

Store #174 Order# 49 I ordered A large Big Mac Deal, no lettuce and a Chicken Crispy Sandwich, no pickle. We ordered inside, to go. When we hot to the car, I noticed that they had downgraded my large fry to a medium but didn't change the price of the meal.

As I was walking back in to see why that happened, my husband asked me to take his Chicken sandwich back in to get it right because it had pickle on it. Now of course all they did was open the bag and remove the pickle but it was ordered no pickle so no juice got on the sandwich.

I asked for a new one. At this point, 25 minutes since I arrived, I grabbed my Big Mac. I was not surprised to find lettuce on my Big Mac, but the amount of lettuce that was used was so much so thst the Big Mac box wasn't closed but it did have the Lil white…

On Wednesday 12, 2023 around 2:00 pm at your McDonald's at 4065 Austell Rd Austell Georgia 30106. I was order a coffee and a sandwich. There was another girl standing up complaining while waiting on the side for her order that she was saying it was a wrong order.

This Spanish girl who was the employee eventually gave me my order. So I ask for sugar for my coffee. She refused to give it to me as she wlk away. I had to walk across to their side of the isle to grab some sugar and a stirr.

I went to the sit down. A black girl had come out to solve the problem of the other girl who was complaining about her food. I then got up and made my complaint as well. Bottom line, I felt like because myself and the other girl was black, that Spanish girl made me feel like she didn't like black people…
