never did get my sandwich. waited and waited then asked for a refund, didn't get that either. Eventually walked out

I am very tired of hearing my friends complain about Mcdonalds employee rules. I am not employed, but I've heard enough complaints to the point I know what goes on around there.
Number one.
I hope a manager there reads this.

My cousin recently worked in Mcdonalds. ( He can get into better jobs than this but he was here for a short period of time so he had no choice)

My cousin has severe back problems. So just as he started to work, he asked one of the managers if he can go home because his back started to hurt.
Then the manager said " No you may not. We have a packed schedule and no one is allowed to switch for today"
So guess what, he didn't end up home when he was suppose to.

So after 6 hours, he finishes.
My dad and I drove to Mcdonalds because he called us.
So I escorted him to the car.
We got home. Then we took him to the hospital. The doctor says that he apparently got really bad.
Then, without hesitation, I just screamed on top of my lungs,
"NO FUCKING WAY"

Guess what, if work is more important than health to you then why don't you try getting pregnant and see if you can work while your wife is in deep pain.
SECONDLY

My girlfriend also works there.
She can get a better job too, just that she's in high school.
I recently asked her to change her maximum work time to 7. Every time. And the first time she was registering, I also saw her putting her availability to the maximum of 10pm. But all of a sudden, it's ignored
She tells me that they don't care.
Well I can tell that the managers have no more future, but some people there actually do have good grades. jeez.

Kay Mcdonalds, get a better system.
Im tired of you guys. really. I am.
I don't know how long I can POSSIBLY deal with their system.
It's just so unorganized.


I hope a Mcdonalds

I go into stores and fast food restaurants, even doctors offices now with the expectation that I'm going to get treated like crap and I have to go out of my way to be super nice or else someone is going to really lay into me. Well I ventured into a mcdonalds the other day and tried to order a grilled chicken sandwhich meal with a medium fry, and I had a coupon for a free drink with any purchase. So I asked the obese manager if I could please use my coupon and she looked at it, threw it across the counter, and said in a loud obnoxious voice "WHAT YOU WANT TWO DRINKS?? CUZ THE MEAL COME WIT A DRINK AND IF YOU USE THIS COUPON YOU AINT GONNA GET THE DRINK FOR FREE' And I said ok nevermind and put it back in my pocket feeling humiliated and degraded. HOW EMBARASSING!
I didn't get an attitude with her, I just walked out after I got my food with my dignity stripped by how loud she was and getting my coupon flung across the counter.
I'm sick of being treated like that by people.
I don't know why I waste my money at sickening establishments like this.
I won't anymore I know that much.
I know customers aren't always right, trust me I've worked with people and many customers are a lot less than pleasant, but I just put on a fake smile and did my job.
I even worked at Mcdonalds once, so I know the job sucks. But this woman is a manager for crying out loud, you'd think she would have learned the proper way to handle it is to calmly explain why I couldn't use a coupon to get a drink if I was already getting a meal...which to me doesn't seem right anyway because if she would of just took the sandwhich and fries and rung them up separate, and then used my coupon for the drink, I would have gotten a deal! But instead their employees would rather bully the customer and embarass them.
Thanks Mcdonalds.

I am in a vehicle all day, every day and am forced to eat at fast food/quick shop places. I have visited numerous McDonalds in the Des Moines area and it's always the same, the food is never quite what is ordered. The ONLY time I can count on decent service is when the McDonalds is staffed with older workers. I agree with the previous complaint about the ethnic makeup of the workers. I wonder how many are illegal? It's really exasperating when you expect english to be spoken in America's restaurants and all you get is gibberish. WAKE UP MCDONALDS

I had my daughter 2 birthday at Mcdonalds which she loves. My party was book two weeks before November 21 the day of the party. I get there 15 min late because i live in Ohio and her gransparents live in ky and wanted the party near.When i get there my party was not set up from the tim 2-4 they tell me my party was from 11-2! So my party and guest are just standing there, the manager tell me they been try to call me they had the wrong number had a party book for a month with that date! What!! Who does that??? no place mats for the kids no plate just the tray they put pancakes in, they use the end of the lips for the icecream! I call to ask if i need to bring plates or cups! This was the worst brithday party i ever had!! All they said was sorry and took 30 if! The sad look on my daughter face was so sad and there was to many kids in the playarea.
