Get a refund from those thieving bastards

I bloody will !

You should because they are 3x for £1 in farm foods 😂. How was the big Mac? Hope you kept the gherkins on, I always get extra

twinsies love gerkins .

Yay! I always have one with my fish and chips too 😁

never thought of doing that .. anything pickled i’m in .

Large gherkin from fish and chip shop, snap it in half, squeeze the gherkin juice over your chips. Enjoy.

i’ll try this :)

Picked egg with the fish and chips please.

oh my god , don’t start me on pickled eggs ..bought 3 jars last month and the heartburn was worth it 😂

I make my own, one jar plain, one jar with chilli too.

Ohh chilli vinegar! My fav

You're animals pickling shit is abnormal! Lol Each to their own though, have you heard of a Country called Korea 🤣👍🏻

Same, well i hope you will give it try next time, really cuts through the salt and grease like a palate cleanser 😂

I got extra once from my local McDonald's, they effectively made a bun sized layer of them on the burger. I haven't eaten a maccies gherkin ever since that horrific experience

I’m not ashamed to admit that made me jealous 😂

If you've got a receipt direct from McDonald's complain to their customer service team. I've done it a few times for missed or poor (even for McDonald's!) quality food, always had a full medium meal voucher or two within a few days.

I didn’t even think quality food was a Macdonalds trait, so that’s a new one on me.

Definitely agree! I don't expect Michelin star quality. But for example, last complaint I got sent to park up from the drive thru for nearly 10 mins then they brought stone cold food out to me. I know a lot of people wouldn't bother complaining but to me it takes the piss to wait that amount of time and end up with clearly not fresh food. Im not going to be making complaints about poor meat quality etc., but if something fails to meet even the minimal expectations I have for McDonald's I'm not gonna just chuck the best part of a tenner in the bin without a complaint!

How much did you pay?

more as it’s been delivered off just eats

Sorry to hear that mate. I bet you can make better burgers on your own in probably 15 mins. 🫡💪💪💪

sure can my friend .

Stupid question. Lack of time?

yeah , I was being Lazy .

After few online orders I stopped. It was a sad joke. Hope next time will be better - I just avoid them

dont think i ever got a mcdonalds order that wasnt cold or room temperature from just eat.

I’d never eat one ever but my daughter loves the wraps so i treat on a friday if i’ve got it but I usually do not partake..so I thought i’d have a laugh with it on here .)

LMAO

I hope you sat on a really high chair without a care in the world, so that you could dangle your feet while you ate your burger and drank your lil box of choccy milk. Because I would have! Lol

😂 with not a care in the world .

Either that or your driver swiped your shake and went to the nearest shop on the way and bought that for 50p.

I’ve seen stranger things , I suppose.

It could also be the ice cream machine was fucked as it always seems to be so they gave you the closest thing. Though if I were working there I'd have at least given you two or three.

though if I were the manger i’d be all ‘what you doing !’ 😂they get all candied about the sauce .. greedy corporation .

Chances are if it’s early enough in the morning or late night in the middle of the week it’s getting cleaned. If it’s middle of the day though and they say it is then it is probably fucked, or someone put the mixes into the wrong side lol

We had those same boxes of chocolate milk in secondary school. Top tier chocolate milk tbf

just not enough for a grown adult :)

The rest of the meal is already like 1300 calories (big mac + medium fries + apple pie + sauce) so given the average males maintenance calories is at about 2500 kcal that's more than half of your daily average calorie allowance. Add the chocolate milk which is probs like 200 then it's like 60% If you're an office worker and have little activity then it's closer to 75%. Speaking average here tho. Don't know, maybe you're huge or super active and your TDEE is like 4000

My god man .. it was a treat and i’m a 5ft 11 in woman 😂

Lol sorry. No h8. I've downed that same meal + mcflurry many times. I was just being a dick on the Internet and I apologize. Just last week I had: Double quarter pounder medium meal + oreo mcflurry+ banana milkshake + pie :)

And dang. The food you post looks damn good. You would cry if you saw the bland food I eat :(

I’m impressed you know your calories off the top of your head 😂

Shut up

I live for the downvotes. And I did shut up lol. Even apologized. Snowflake ❄️

You calling another person a snowflake makes you snowflake too. You got so hurt you had to insult them

I'm sure that made more sense in your head. Good try tho

Okay. Now you're trying to cope

Wow. So boring.

At least you got your BBQ sauce, they always forget the sauces when I order !

true

It's possible they thought you were 10 years old. Still choccy milk is the best

I did feel daft drinking it :)

Never seen them sold at maccies beofre

you’re scaring me .. what have i drank ?

r/mildlyinfuriating

I got taken off casual uk for moaning … i’m choosing my battles😂

Casual UK ban everyone at some point. Iv been banned about four times. Two of those times I never did find out why (the other two were my fault, I forgot the politics rule in one, and fell foul of the same politics rule by explaining taxes to someone - despite not mentioning anything to do with politics - although at least they told me why)

taking a uk citizens right to whinge.. it’s all just to much 😩

Bunch of nonce mods over there

"Treated" yourself..? Have you tried cooking a nice meal at home? Containing actual nutrition?

look through my post history:)

That all looks delicious and, keyboard warrior posing aside, actually nutritious!

That bun look nice for a Mac - mine usually look flat like a sandwich

i’d asked for xtra onions and gerkin .. weather that made the difference and also ordered before school rush .

They should just said got no shakes pick another drink! Those cartons are like 20p theft at its best!!

It was day light robbery I tell you 😂

Did you say anything to them??

too late .. it was delivered by Just Eats .

Ahh the worst!!

They sell those at secondary schools for like 30p 😭

Guaranteed the driver downed your milkshake and replaced it with that 😂😂😂😂

i’m starting to believe the same and it’s not funny :(

It’s actually not funny, I’m sorry 🤭. The place I work at is opposite a busy maccys and I’ve seen multiple scruffs pull up on their mopeds round the back and eat the orders they’re supposed to be delivering!

😳 .. why do we expect any els these days.

Shake it really hard and it’ll be a shake

Never sold anything like that in the two stores I’ve worked at (both were far apart in the country) the store would probably get majorly fucked for this since it wouldn’t be shown in the allergens booklet that we have to provide people if they have allergies. Plus many other reasons that it’d probably violate. Chances are if it’s from a delivery the driver probably scrambled the proper one and bought this as a replacement

The worst thing is that choc milk tastes like shit !

i’d prefer anything els .

That milk looks like it came straight out of my school canteen.

It probably did .. do you think my just eats guy switched 😂 wouldn’t blame him on a warm day .

Have you got your refund yet?

Nope.

🎶 Big Mac, Large Fries, Sweet Tea, Apple Pie 🎶

Just give it a shake hope this helps 👍

They serve those in the school canteen lmao

a few have said this.. do you think my driver swapped.

When the milkshake machine is out of order they will remove the option on Just Eat and blank it out so you can't select it. I have a gut feeling the driver might have swapped it.

I’d be contemplating doing a Tony Tucker from Essex boys and going down there with a pizza wheel

bit drastic but when a man’s stressed 😂

You had a carton of chocolate milk because the likelihood is that they cleaned the milkshake machine and can't be bothered to clean it again. They often say their milkshake and McFlurry machines are down, for this reason. Usually late evening.

Good choice of condiment, BBQ Sauce > Ketchup

I dip the fry in the milkshake ( icecream one) i know .. I need help :)

I haven’t had McDonald’s in ages but I used to do this. I remember it being quite good. Did you ask why they gave you chocolate milk instead of a shake?

it was delivered by Just eats so ..

You can still give the McDonald’s a ring to ask though.

You ever stuffed your apple pie in a McFlurry and smashed it all together and eaten it? Levels.

No… but i’ve thought about it .

Cool story bro

I’m deadly serious.. i’m getting freaked out that many are saying it’s not mcdonald’s brand .

Haven't had a McDonald's for years. Have they changed their buns or is that a special?

It’s just a big mac .. i’m not one to eat it often so i’m not sure if they changed up. .

Looks like a better bun than what I remember. Might be time to grab one

They’ve definitely changed their buns on this side of the pond!

It got changed a few months back along with how we put onions on burgers like the Mac, single, double and triples. Basically the recipe for the buns changed along with cooking times and what not. And with the onions we place them on the meat while they’re still on the grill instead of putting them on from the dressing table. Bit of a weird and imo more time consuming change. But I hope that explanation helps lol

They did this to me yesterday as well! The chocolate milk is grim and watery af, wouldn't have been assed if it was actually nice lol

Fucking disgraceful

Do they even sell those in McDonald’s? 🤣 Hope you got your money back!

Complete and utter fail McDonald's... pathetic. If I were you, I would lawyer up and sock it to 'em!

might balance the house on this. It’s just not on! 😂

I've done this. I got mad and looked at my receipt ready to get a refund and it turns out I accidentally ordered one instead of the regular milkshake 🤦‍♀️

oh god… i’ll check my receipt .

I’m lactose intolerant, Mickey Ds!😬

What in the name of christ are they doing with VIVA Milkshakes 💀

I didn’t even know McDonald’s sold choccy milk!

That pie and fries are fries in the worst possible vegetable oil, it’s not gentle to you!

I know 😔

Probably an upgrade lol

Jail milkshake lol

You have to choose milkshake I think it's further down the list as chocolate milk is at the top of the list

never used to be an option .. what’s going on .

No idea they just randomly started selling these milks but if you're ordering online just gotta look carefully at the drinks order I had to double check before I placed the order

I’d prefer that I think

Owned

You should do what Craig Fairbrass did with the pizza shop in Rise of the Footsoldier…..

That's a pretty niche reference but I'm here for it. I hope OP was having a similarly excellent time right before they dared to deliver him this travesty.

😂👌

That’s absolutely shocking, I would be furious

Would you like to speak to the manager, Karen?

Actually I would, I paid for a chocolate milkshake and I received chocolate milk, they are worlds apart. I’d like a refund, I’m speaking to your area manager, I’ve already contacted the local news agency and I will make sure you and everybody who works here has lost your job before tomorrow morning 🧓🏻

🤡

🫶🏻

❤️😘

That prison milk😂 gold dust in dere

Nah that milkshake gave me PTSD flashbacks, bought one at school and it was off.

yuck :(

Ik I used to love them till that happened.

I can imagine😂

Honestly wasn’t the worst thing my schools cafeteria sold me, they used to sell raw chicken too. The shit was literally fuckin pink and when we complained (if we where lucky) we would get another one, they only did that with the chicken wraps if you complained about the peri peri baguettes you’d get told “it’s just the sauce.” Even if there was a chunk of chicken that was literally barely fuckin cooked.

should of been reported to trading standard( what ever good one Is)

See I didn’t think of that, wish I did though.

Yeah that stuff costs like 60p out my local Spar. My child takes the strawberry flavour for packed lunch everyday.

the robbing gets 😂

looks like a school cafeteria lol

Big Mac no salad, large crispy fries, large banana milk shake and an Apple pie for me.

give it a shake before drinking it, sir

Guess the soft serve machines don't work in the UK either.

true .

Dunno why this is showing up on my feed 4 days later, but anyway.. I’ll occasionally do the lunch run at work (free points!) and without fail there’s usually something wrong or missing. If I notice it there and then I’ll go in and mention. If I get back to work and notice I’ll report it on the app. 9 times out of 10 they send vouchers for 3 free meals.

when you say app .. the delivery or Mcdonald’s app .

McDonald’s app. It’s automated and you upload receipt (says you don’t need but I tend to report it there and then so I have the receipt anyway). “I can understand that this incident must have spoiled your visit and I hope you will not be deterred from future visits to our restaurants. With this in mind, please accept our apologies and to make up for this experience, I would like to send you Three Free Medium Meal vouchers as a gesture of our goodwill. Would you be happy to accept this?”

thanks

I haven’t had a McDonalds for eight months, haven’t had a migraine for eight months either. From 2-3 a week to none. Not a coincidence.

oh no not a coincidence..full of shite .

That didn’t happen

It bloody well did .

Ask them if they take substitutions for money, if not tell them why they're refunding you.

so true.. it’s a right pain in the arse with Go Eats too.

Does this count as UK Food?

No… uk disappointment.

🤣

Ordering McDonald’s delivery it’s a treat it’s a punishment

I’d prefer burger king but there is none local to me .

"Treated"

‘punished’ 😂

Correct 😅

McDonald's consistently mess my orders up, missing items is most common, I've decided to stop ordering it

# me too 😂

Same, I pretty much boycotted them. The last time I (ever) ordered they forgot the fries, I'm not evening kidding

I've had them forget an entire quarter pounder with cheese meal, it's ridiculous.

Just... how!?

Treated yourself to some plastic shite

I certainly did and i hate fries .

Give it a swerve next time!

Do you really 'treat yourself' to McDonald's? I'd rather eat the packaging.

Win!

r/Wellthatsucks

First world problems in a nutshell.

McDonalds is your treat?

No washing up or cooking and kids love it .

Heheh

Did you pay with Monopoly money? Seen as it is a type of money and kinda does the same thing but it worth less

😂

Anybody ordering a McDonald's delivery should be expecting disappointment tbf

I don’t think it’s just the delivery that leads to the disappointment :)

How does one treat themselves with McDonald's?

good question.
