Editorial McDonald's McFlurry conspiracy (solved?)

[Mavsker]

Alright buckle up boys because I think I stumbled upon something big

Heading home from work, and being a fat ass, decided to go through McD's. Also, being a fatass, I have the app on my phone. Ordered two McFlurries and paid through the app.

Get there and get an apology that the McFlurry machine was broken and so unfortunately I wouldn't be getting my McFlurry's.



I asked about a refund since they're like $6 each now (wtf). The guy said, well since you already paid through the app there would be no refund (wtf).

Being a boomer at heart I asked to speak to the manager (a pro move). Get to the front, guy already doesn't remember me somehow even though I was the only one in line, he calls over the manager. They all go back and forth about how to refund the money. Can't figure it out. I'm obviously not budging, they've already taken my McFlurries, not gonna take my dignity too. Eventually the manager sighs, dismisses them all, and waves me through to the second window.

Get up there figuring he'll give me cash or something. No, he's back there making McFlurries on the "broken" machine.

But I thought the machine was broken?

That machine "breaks down" all the time, but, as I've now proven, can still make perfectly good ice cream, if you've already paid.

CASE CLOSED

It's probably not broken, they just don't want to clean it. Lazy bastards

That's some serious bullshit.

So what's your consirpacy theory about why they are telling you it's broken when it's not?

That's probably exactly it. I used to know a big food safety guy. We would walk into a restaurant and he would say don't get the ice tea here it smells like mold, because they never clean the ice tea dispenser. Dude had a sixth sense for that kind of thing 🤣.

Which is crazy considering what an absolute racket it is. Have a friend that owns a Culvers. His custard machine broke and it was like 70k to replace. He added up what the machine made over its life and it was in the 7 figures.

Probably something to do with 9/11.

He probably dunked his wiener in your ice cream

I got screwed by the Fremont Mcdonalds about a year ago. I put in an online order, get the confirmation, show up and of course they didn't get my order. I try showing them on my phone exactly what it was etc, but they just played dumb. No problem, I'm hungry, let's just order some food. So I order the exact same thing I did on the app and moved on. Literally 20 seconds after I finished ordering, their mobile order printer goes off and they say "hey we just got your order"! So I said great, just fill that one instead. So of course when they come to the counter they had both orders. I said I don't need both of these, you were standing right here when all this went down and know what happened, I told you NOT to do both, how do I get my refund on the second order? They said, "you ordered both orders, you have to pay for them." At this point I'm starting to fume. I said "you were standing here with me. You didn't get my mobile order and it showed up 20 seconds after I ordered, I don't need all of this".

Long story short they refused to give me a refund on the 2nd order (and it wasn't like i was asking for a refund & the food, I didn't want the food). I don't know if they thought I was scamming them somehow or what, but the Mcdonald's employees at Fremont are a bunch of fucking idiots.

It so couldn't have been worth their time and getting yelled at for a $15 dollar meal. Especially since it isn't even their money. Terrible customer service.

I should add too, at first they tried telling me they don't do mobile orders. Then I pointed to the sign where it says "pick up mobile orders here" LOL.

Rant over.

Sounds like you needed Mav/Karen there for support.

It's my goddamn right as an American to yell at Mcdonalds employees.

I went through McDonald’s on ONeill Nebraska a few months ago and ordered four hamburgers

They gave me four cheeseburgers

I was so pissed that after I ate the cheeseburgers I drove my car through the front door, dragon kicked the manager, set the building on fire, and then left

This is a tPB hall of fame thread in my opinion

 

[vailhusker]

We need @Gemini6 on the case.

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Double McFlurry is impressively fat
