I’ve worked in food service since I was 14, including at McDonald’s during university, so I’m not the type to leave complaints. In fact, the only review I’ve ever written is a positive one. But after this experience, I had to 😭😭.
After a long day of work aaaaalllll I wanted was a large fry 😔. I wanted to use a deal, but I accidentally clicked on the wrong one. Even though I quickly removed it, the app kept thinking I’d redeemed it and wouldn’t let me use the code for the fry.
The employee in the back booth could see I hadn’t used any other code recently (after all, how else would I have been able to pull up the first deal???), and he knew I hadn’t actually redeemed the one I clicked on by mistake. He told me the manager could fix it.
But when I got to the 2nd window, the manager just kept repeating that I’d already used the code and didn’t seem willing to do anything about it. I explained the situation a few times—that it was a simple mistake, the app glitched, and his employee could verify that—but he didn’t seem to understand.
I have management experience at McDonald's myself, and I know this would’ve been a super easy fix. But the manager kept insisting I’d already used the code, and I ended up driving to another McDonald's rather than wait 15 minutes in the parking lot like a loser. It was frustrating and confusing—especially when it could’ve been resolved quickly—but the manager either didn’t want to help or just couldn’t understand what I was saying. I'm sad and hangry 😫.
