Rahman the Manager at McDonald’s in Enfield Great Cambridge Road has Fantastic customer service skills. He was able to delegate tasks to his staff members whilst delivering excellent customer service to customers. A job well done! :)

Staff were rude

Staff were rude, service was way too slow. To much talking and not enough working. Food was warm and everything appeared to much for the staff. Very disappointed.

McDonald’s Disgusting Hot Chocolate

I bought a hot chocolate drink from McDonald’s at Riverside Retail Park, Chelmsford branch. It was made of water rather than with milk and was disgusting. I don’t know if this branch is taking short cuts to economise or if all their outlets serve such rubbish. I threw it in the drain and bought a delicious hot chocolate from Costas opposite.

Don’t order if you are a single woman 

Don’t bother to order delivery -3 strikes and done . three times I have ordered McDonald’s via the delivery service Uber eats each time it’s been a complete fiasco the last time my wife was greeted by three foreign men who didn’t speak English the order arrived 25 minutes after the delivery time we were texted with . Disappointing not to mention a little scary . not advised for women.

Young staff member was very rude

McDonald's at Glamis Castle turn off near Forfar. Young staff member very rudely asked me to stand away from the counter when the store was empty. Store was empty because the tills were only accepting cash and weren't accepting cards or contactless. I managed to order on the app. There was literally no one else in the store and certainly no one queuing behind me. She came from behind the counter, pointed to the condiments stand and said "Can you go and stand over there" I asked excuse me? She repeated her rude request two more times as I couldn't believe what she was saying to me so asked her to repeat what she said. And not a please or thank you in sight. When I asked for her name she wouldn't give it to me, she also hid her name badge and then went to hide in the kitchens until I left. I also tried to talk to a more senior member of staff but they were all "busy" in the kitchen ignoring me.

Absolute sham of a restaurant

Absolute sham of a restaurant. I ordered off of just eat over 2 hours ago, I have had 0 updates whatsoever. I have tried to ring Kirkstall McDonald's in Leeds to try cancel the order on their end as Just Eat is useless, me and my partner have phoned them combined well over 50 times yet they seem unable to answer a phone at all, or they’re all wearing ear plugs.

The cheery happy customer service of a worker at Mcdonalds in central Taupō, NZ. Her name is Alice Wineera. She is the sweetest person, not just one day but everyday! She is always polite and makes my day always. She deserves recognition as a model employee that every employee should aspire to be.

Disgusting service.

Disgusting service.
If you order a chicken nugget meal for a child, you’ll get a cold burger. Order a burger and you’ll get chicken nuggets.
Run totally by children that don’t give a damn, working for a company that doesn’t give a damn sums it up.
They can’t even put a slice of cheese on a burger, without most of it melting on the cardboard box, if you’re lucky enough to get the order you paid for.
You are sometimes served by a dirty handed guy with a bad attitude that picks up crap in the car park, before handed you your food.
All in all the worst quick food outlet in existence.

Dear McDonald’s UK Customer Service,

Dear McDonald’s UK Customer Service,

I am writing to express my concern regarding an incident I experienced at one of your restaurants. During my visit, I noticed that customers were being treated inconsistently when requesting ketchup sachets.

Specifically, I witnessed another customer, an English gentleman, request ketchup and was given it free of charge. However, when I requested the same item, I was told that I had to pay 10p. This inconsistent treatment made me feel unfairly targeted and uncomfortable.

I understand that policies may vary depending on circumstances, but they should be applied equally to all customers regardless of who they are. I kindly request that you look into this matter and provide clarification on your policy to ensure fair and consistent service for everyone.

Thank you for taking the time to review my concern. I look forward to your response.

Used to be good for fast food

Used to be good for fast food, but these days it just seems to be problem after problem, regardless of which branch you use. Can’t remember the last time an order was actually correct. In the last few months we’ve been given food with allergens in, despite ordering and labelling saying the allergen food was not included. Items have been missing on more than one occasion, with customer services flat out refusing to rectify, and I’ve lost count of how many wrong items we’ve been given. And it’s easy to say ‘ask them to fix it in store’ but how do you do that when it’s takeaway and you don’t realise your banana milkshake has been subbed with a vanilla one until you get it home? Mistakes shouldn’t happen in a food business. You should be able to trust you will get what you order but it just never happens anymore.

Very Poor

Ordered the Grinch Meals with free socks and didn’t receive the socks and missing meal items. Quality of the food wasn’t very good either.
Had them delivered by Just Eats

20 minutes waiting in the drive through for the last several visits. Staff allow 4 consecutive cars through who arrived 10 minutes after me. This is Talbot Green McDonald's. Absolutely shocking every time for the last few months. They've lost customers.
