gareth brown Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yeah, the other day I grabbed a Chicken McNugget meal with fries and chocolate 'shake...one problem. It tasted like crap. Now, before we get started I am not open to people coming in saying... "WELL IT'S McDONALD'S!! WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?! BUH-ZIIING!!!" *high-fives jock buddies* ...so none of that. :shifty: Anyway, now to quote my email [which I've edited a fair bit just to get to the point...] Originally written by Gareth Brown in his letter to McDonald's... "I purchased a Large Chicken McNugget meal with a chocolate milkshake. I am sorry, but I must tell you I was rather appalled with the entire meal I was presented with... For a start, the chicken nuggets now taste funny...I know it’s 100% breast meat, but there's something wrong with the nuggets! Secondly, on top of my chicken nuggets tasting odd the fries were lousy. The young lady serving me was obviously using up the last of the fries in the pan, which is quite understandable, those fries obviously have to go somewhere or it would be a waste. However, my fries were lacking salt, were soggy and somehow tough and chewy to make things worse! One final problem I was the 'Shake! It's just a thick blob of ice cream with very little milk and the problem I have with the chocolate milkshake is the fact that it doesn't taste like chocolate. At all. It tasted like banana. This really was the final straw, no pun intended, and I was left feeling like I had wasted my money on the meal...*insert the whole 'I feel disappointed and let down paragraph here...* Thanks! Gareth Brown..." Probably never going to eat there again, so that's taken care of anyone planning to post "If you don't like it, don't eat it" :smug: Now...the reason I post this is because I'd like to know... -Has anyone in the UK actually bothered complaining to McDonald's? Since, let's face it, there doesn't seem to be much point... -Is it worth the hassle? -What is the chance I'll get one of those compensationary vouchers or my money back so I can buy a proper meal?

-JaK- Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Hmmm I hardly eat there anymore for that because of Super Size Me (Like Charlie) It didn't put me off forever, But I can't eat any kind of chicken nugget though now But yeah, So much for a new "great tasting menu" then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharry Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 If I would complain it would be about they are so slow here. If you order 4 hamburgers (we're a family, I'm not hungry :P ) then their whole system brakes down, the cashier starts to stutter and says "T-the hamburgers will take a few minutes, is it okwith a cheeseburger?" I don't like McDonalds really, but it's kind of comical to listen to my family complain about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Peedston Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I haven't eaten any fast food in years, to be honest. Oh wait, Taco Bell is fast food. Never mind. Anyway, I was probably in high school the last time I ate at a McDonalds. It was bad then, and apparently it still is. :lol: McDonalds to me represents everything that's wrong with capitalism. They have no respect for their customers, on a customer service level and in what they're serving people, because they know that for every person who gets fed up with the consistantly low quality of service and appalling content of the food itself, another person will say, "Hey, it's a vaguely chicken-like sandwich for cheap!" And for every location that gets shut down, three more seem to open. So there's no incentive to actually change anything, other than pretending to offer "healthy" meals (have a salad with your fatburger instead of fries!). And their advertising campaigns are beyond annoying. I've never seen anybody try so hard to channel "urban" culture (or their focus-grouped version of it: usually black people or latinos with sass) and fail so miserably. Everything about that company, from top to bottom, is a joke. And yet they still make money every year (even if it's been less money recently), and they probably still will long after we all die.
