Why does McDonalds have such horrible food service?  Is it because they don't care for anything except money?

I honestly don't know but in the whole time I have been eating the stuff it has gone from bad to worse. I have had missing french fry orders when I bought a trio, undercooked mcnuggets and recently when we got home we discovered that our quarter pounder trios were transformed into mcchickens.\nThis is on the take out side.\nOn the eat in side things have been better cause we can see our trays. I did have a nasty experience where I did not recieve my burger as I had requested. The manager took it back and said that he would fix it and bring it to my table. I sat there letting my fries get cold and finally I got up and asked the counter person what was going on. The assistant manager never did anything about it and I had to wait there another five minutes for my burger.\nDon't bother trying to complain to McDonalds corporate they do not care. The only satisfaction I have ever gotten was in the form of free food and that is usually a manager in the store who does that.

Oh man this is a sore subject with me. I used to love fast food. I love a fast food burrito. I loved tacos. I loved the taquitos. I loved the burgers. I ate the same burrito everyday for lunch for two years of High School. You used to be able to get a BIG tasty burrito. Now look what you get. They sell these tiny little things with totally crap ingredients. Nothing tastes anywhere near as good as it used to. It's a money thing. But here's the deal. I'd pay whatever it costs to get the GOOD tasting food back. \nI suppose there is one positive side to crappy fast food. I don't eat it anymore. Very rarely.\n.

Haha I am not fat or tall so thank you for saying the word "majority."  We live in fast food nation.  There are a lot of lazy people out there who eat horrible meals and too large of portions.  They don't exercise and drink 6 Cokes per day.  They drive everywhere and they don't go see the doctor.  It's cheaper to go to the Dollar Menu at McDonald's than buy fruits, veggies and fish to have for dinner... and it is quicker!

Because they are all after one thing and one thing only, your money. Once they have your money they could give a shit less about your service. You are better off trying to figure it out yourself then trying to get them dumb asses to do it. Service in this country sucks big time. They are all money hungry!!!

I agree she should not only be bringing food home for you, but your entire family as well.  How cheap of McDonalds to not provide free food the the employees and their families. How dare these other people speak to you of morals when McDonalds is ripping the most vulnerable of our society off?  They have these poor kids working for minimun wages and not taking care of them.  I mean, they still have to pay for gas to get back 'n forth.  What is wrong with these stupid idiots above me answering this question?  Don't they realize that we have to build these kids self esteem and some how manage to get them to realize they are worth so much more that minimum wages!!! They are exploiting our kids.  I am completely in shock that they don't receive food during work.  I am boycotting McDonalds starting now....and I'm writing a letter to the BBB and the President of the McDonalds Corporation.  They should be ashamed of themselves.  It seems that they expect you to pay to drive your kid to work there, you should be sending them a bill for gas.  In fact, I would do just that.  If they at least paid for the gas then you would not be taking money out of your pocket to drive your kid to work there.  These big corporations suck!!  I think I'm just going to help myself the next time I go there to a free Big Mac.  I'll teach them.  Don't listen to these dufusses you are the best mother around, you are teaching your daughter to take what she is worth and not take any less.  There should be more mothers around like you!! You Rock Mimi!!  Thanks for setting a GREAT example for our kids.

who cares what they do, all you need to do is focus on your schooling and get good grades, maybe you'll get the last laugh when you pull up to McDonald's and they are serving you your lunch...lol

McDonalds is not affordable for the average person.  You are looking at in excess of $1,000,000 (million) just to get in the door.  The reason they are able to charge so much for the franchise fee is that they are successful.\n\nBut they are not affordable for the average person.  Subway and Blimpie are for affordable.  They range from the $50,000 to $100,000.  Most of these will generate less money than a McDonalds.

Quite_curious is quite wrong.\n\nAny place is a good place to work, if you are willing to work hard. McDonald's can teach a kid about responsibility, and even about how franchises work (he will get familiar with their procedures and training methods).

Most mcdonald products use beef which would not sell in India. That is the primary reason.

No its not just you although I am sure you are still special :)... Where do I begin? Lets see...\n\n I got food poising from there deli meat once, \n\n I took my car in to get the oil changed once, they stole a carton of my cigarettes, and didn't latch the hood properly so on my way home the hood of my car came flying up and shattered my wind shield and sun roof, and as if that is not enough they didn't tighten the oil plug and I was  leaking oil all the way home!\n\n I will not go back there, it is worth spending the extra money shopping at other grocery and department stores... I hope Sam Walton is burning in .... anyway :)

No. Why the hell did they go to a restaurant anyway, they're only across London.  They should provide their own damn catering.

Because we have always been the land of plenty.  And we don't know what it is like to starve.  Even the people who can't afford to eat have food stamps and other gov't assistance to help them.\n\nI get upset at all the good food that is thrown away at restuarants.  It's like they give you double portions for twice the price, and when you don't want anymore, it goes in the trash.  That could have been a nice meal for a homeless person.

in my part of the world, it is jollibee. it started as a mcdonald's second rate copy cat. but then, it was able to adopt to the tastes of its target market and later on was dictating the tastes of the market. it has now overtaken the world's giant fast food chain mcdonalds which has served billion and billions (as it claims) and more so, kfc in my part of the world. it is actually some sort of marketing wonder that its case has been featured in some marketing books. how a small fledgling company competed in markets in a country who identifies so much with american tastes and eventually succeed in markets that glorify american brands is a miracle. check out their sight: www.jollibee.com.ph and this link too: http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/05/30/business/burger.php

You would need to be more specific.  What things?\nGas was 23 cents a gallon, bread was a dime.  McDonalds only had hamburgers, shakes and fries on the menu and you could order all 3 for under a dollar.\nThere was no internet, cable tv or cell phones.

Well, this is not conspiracy, it's reality. If there wasn't cheap labor a lot of stuff specially fruits and veg's would be expensive,think about it do you really think burger king or McDonald's franchise owners would have 15 or 20 restaurants if they paid an American 10 or 12 dollars an hour to make the food, if there is no cheap labor there is no cheap products.
