McDonalds ripoff I was cheated at McDonalds, Where's my McNugget Oak Harbor Washington

Are you really upset about this 9/10 nugget thing. I actually think it's bogus and is a joke or an experiment to see the comments you get from people to see the reaction you get from people. I wouldn't be surprised if Brian is some college student doing some sort of research paper and all are part of the paper. lol. I loved some of the comments (his included) that had me cracking up. Some were real things that would make me angry as I've been in the situation and there were some of you that needed to be in the McDonald's like you needed "a hole in your head" (the overweight people). I feel comfortable saying that as I was obese at one time (was over 300 pounds) and had to lose that weight (now 175) and McDonalds was better for me if it's a once in a blue moon than a part of the daily diet (heck, a big mac is almost 600 calories by itself, imagine with a large fries and a regular soda, don't forget to add the dessert, then you have meal for the ENTIRE DAY). That being said, I was totally entertained by most of you. Some of you will be insulted by what I've said here (well most). Some will take what I said lightly, nonetheless, I'm not looking for friends regardless.

Tinky

So you posted a fake report on the site for kicks? That is highly uncalled for.

AS FOR WHOEVER THINKS ITS A 9 PIECE, ITS A 10 PIECE AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2003. SO STOP!

Okay, shorting happens. We do the best. Most employees can count, they are also given addition problems at interviews. One nugget would not have made a difference in your hunger problem, I'm afraid.

As for prejudiced against bald men?

You've got to be *&*&ing me! We don't care what you look like.. That has no effect on how you get your nuggets. And the person who counted your nuggets COULD NOT have seen you at the window. They're in the grill area for pete's sake.
.

If you think working at Mcd's is easy, try it. We're only humans after all.

If you have ever had a really good McNugget, if you can find one, you have to have the 15 piece meal. If you can find one. You see, I'm from SD, and we have jackalopes here. If you can find the 15 piece meals, you will have the golden McNuggets which are from the jackalopes and are the best ones. (No grease, real meat,etc...) But, to get these, you have to come to this state and go to a Micky Dee's west river (Missouri River) but not quite as far as the Black Hills, Rapid City, or Sturgis. If you hit any of these tourist traps, and find the Jackalopes that you can buy at Wall Drug, you have gone too far. These tourist traps just use the skins and horns to put those ugly tourist "decoys" together. Well, I gotta go for now. Hope this helps in your search for your lost nugget.

I'm going to die laughing! People make no sense. It's almost like the dispute when larger people were trying to sue the Mcdonalds Corp. for supposedly making them gain the weight of their own or their childrens. Lol What ever. Here's a hint......

If you are over weight DON'T eat fast food! Commen sense. Eat at home or eat a salad. Duh. It's a proven fact that people are too LAZY to cook or just don't know how.

I used to work at Mcdonald's. I knew the food wasn't good for me. So I like brought food from home or like I waited until I got home. So like I didn't get fat a.k.a over weight.

Come on people. How stupid are we? It's just something for people to b***h about. Bored? why wait? Go to Mcdonald's and b***h.

Mad at someone go to Mcdonald's and yell at an unperfect employee. That's mature. I just have to say that I was a manager at a Mcdonald's and most of the time the people that were working there were kids!

We actually do hire children or adults with LD. To give them a chance at a life and to be able to make money. They usually clean but, they help out. There people to.

As for the nugget thing. Here's why you didn't have your nug. Here's 4 reasons why. Ok ready?

1. They were in a hurry to get your food to you because Mcdonald's HAS TO BE FAST! Right?

2. They had to use a scoop to pick up your nugs.It kind of looks like a pooper scooper because customers were having problems with the employees picking up there nugs with there gloved hands. It could have accidentally fallen off or it was hard to count on a shovel.

3. You ate it with out realizing it. Because you were driving and eating. Onto which can cause an accident. What if you would have hit someone and killed someone all because of a nugget? Then what? This hurt's to talk about.

4. Or maybe it flew away. Bye, Bye birdie.
I'm just trying to help.

Hey good luck on the sueing thing. Not going to happen. Most of them are individually owned. I wish the best for everyone trying to take out Mcdonald's.

Here's the best advice. Mcdonald's and everyother fast food resturant isn't perfect ok? So don't go there. Watch the food channel and call it good. You can do it!

Sincerly Dr. Phil's Assistant

Brian are you over 30?

If so you will remember the Hamburgler, a member of the gang led by Grimace. Did the McDonalds have the old time playground with the Ronald slide and the Hamburguler tables? Perhaps the real hamburgler disguised himself as a table and stole your nugget as you drove by.... Makes more sense than the 2fer idea.

I can't believe this thread lol about a chicken nugget!Okay in fairness I have been given wrong orders and shorted burgers , but at ALL fast food joints not just McDonalds, and no, iam not employed there either nor have I ever been, but I keep seeing this posting and at first I thought it was a joke!Usually when i have been shorted or something I go back or call and notify the manager, I have never had a problem getting my kids burgers replaced or put in there if I was shorted one.
BUT I have to tell ya my husband and father in law and i were alllaughing our heads off that this was even posted!iam sorry don't mean to offend, but can't you see the humor in this?!It is a chicken nuggetfor crying out loud, no big deal just count your nuggets next time...lol still laughing.

People make mistakes, I have had missing items and yes I have even had missing nuggets, but I always check my food before leaving and they dont seem to ever have a problem replacing the item Mcdonald's is not the only place that this has happened it's happened at weinerschntzel (sp) and taco bell and pretty much everywhere. People make mistakes If 1 nugget is worth all this time and effort then you need a hobby or something, I dont know any lawyer that will take your case based on 1 forgotten nugget.

I went to Wendy's yesterday and I only received 2 chicken strips instead of three. So I Brian is right but I think all fast food restaurants are involved in this conspiracy. So if a class action suit is started count me in. Holding back one piece of chicken per customer times millions of servings a day is millions in extra profits a day or week!

Brian,

Having always been an Encyclopedia Brown Mysteries fan since my youth, I have read your story, and believe I have found the solution to your missing nugget dilemma.

Based on the facts of your story, McDonalds DID in fact give you 10 nuggets, despite you only counting NINE. How could this be?

Easy. Two of the nuggets were cooked together. On your own admission, you counted as you put them in your mouth. But a "two-fer" nugget would only be counted as ONE, thus leaving you with an empty carton when you counted to NINE. But the McDonald's employee correctly counted the "two-fer" nugget as two. As each one went in your mouth, it was "one". Well, one of them SHOULD have counted as "two". You'd have noticed if you weren't driving and eating at the same time.

Missing that "extra nugget" with your continued hunger was only a psychological reaction to the horror you felt when you thought you were ripped off.

Mystery solved, friend!

Oh lord now I have to write a rip off report about being discriminated at work and fired for my supposed insanity for laughing so hard I had tears running down my eyes while alone in my office. This is a total riot!! I don't know what's more funny though, the actual report or the morons who thought it was serious.

Thank you, I needed that mclaugh today......

Just when you thought it was safe to start to trust your local McDonalds. A little known Lenten Cheese Capper is right now unfolding in Iowa. This could be the straw that breaks the backs of FSLs everywhere. (Fish Sandwich Lovers) BEWARE - SHAME!
The two fish sandwich special for Lent, I find, is really special. When what to my amazement I see only HALF SLICES of cheese on those beautiful fish filets; YES, that's what you heard 1/2 of a slice of cheese: what a Rip-Off!

Of course, it's somewhat better than the "look like a piece of cheese" sandwich garnishment I've been seeing in recent years. I mean, this was a real traditional McDonalds thickness of 1/2 of a piece of cheese, not that spray painted on type, that swept the nation over the past ten years or so. I'll bet this is McDonalds answer to the tragic "heartbreak of cheese prices skyrocketing out of site", for fast food places all over America.
This is a real sneaky innovation that will renew my faith, "NOT, in good old,
Mac's Supper Club!

Brian, If you think you are the only one we are after when we sell you 9 nuggets instead of 10, then think again.

We have a conspiracy against anyone and I do mean ANYONE who wants to order our precious nuggets. Do you think we are going to let YOU have a deal? We are out to become one of the biggest chain McRestaurants in the world.

So stick this mcreport up your mcbehind and have a happy mcday.

I have worked in McDonald's a yaer ago when I was 18. At first it was OK, but things got out of control. The crew "leaders" (as they called it) are extrememly unprofessional to the custormers as well as employees. They tolerate verbal and sexual abuses on a daily basis. I always worked as a cashier for the whole 4 months i had been employed because I couldn't make a decent burger, so one crew leader called me stupid. And one time he called me stupid in front of all the customers. And after that, i quit working there.

I am now a college kid and working part-time in a hotel as a GSR. People over there are much nicer and I am good at working with accounts and numbers. Making food is just something I am not good at, and that crew leader doesn't have to be calling me stupid. As far as I can see, the only thing he excels in is making good hamburgers. Once in a while when I go there to eat, they still kept insluting me of how I can't make hamburgers. Maybe they will feel better when I tell them I am making double of what they earn in McDonald's. Management needs a serious upgrade there.

PS: I am not the only one who has been verbally insulted, other employees have also been feeling insulted. One of the workers even attempted to start a fight with a crew leader in the parking lot.

Funny...... No matter how many times you all get screwed one way or another from a fast food restaraunt, most will always be back the next day. God i wish i still worked at popeyes, I miss screwing up peoples orders and then giving them the corporate number. lmao

I worked at a McDonalds for about 3 years, quite a few years ago. People who have never done fast food have no idea how stressing it can be during, say, the lunch rush. We happened to have a steady, adult crew for a long time that got along great and worked well together.

The store (ever notice management calls them stores, not restaraunts?) was sold and everything went downhill. Within 3 or 4 months the steady, reliable easy to get along with people were gone. Guess what type of worker filled the void?

Now as a consumer, I have often wondered what part of "ketchup only" they don't get, but in the grand scheme of things, not important.

As for nuggets, I go in and ask for fresh, I hate those hard little lumps that have been sitting in the drawer for who knows how long.

Ok, here in NJ, the conspiracy broadens to include straws, napkins and condiments. I have yet to receive the correct number of straws with ANY order. I happen to have very stong views that this has to do with the fact that certain powers that be want to officialy split NJ into 2 entities labeled East suberban Philly and southern suburban NY. By shorting NJ consumers of straws, they slowly anhilating the current population by having to attempt to open our beverage containers while driving on the turnpike at 75 mph and attempting to drink without choaking on an ice cube. Even if you do succede in swallowing your frosty cold beverage unscathed, it is a well known-unpublished fact in NJ that most major Turnpike and Parkway accidents are caused by McDonalds cup overspills. There is nothing worse than barreling down the roadway minding your own business while tailgating the guy in front of you and changing lanes without using signals, and all of a sudden you get a large clump of ice cubes in your lap! This of course leads to highr taxes for repairing melted asphalt and higher insurance rates wich then drive the rest of the population out to lands more affordable. All because NY wants thier teams to actually play in stadiums in NY rather than NJ and would like to seal our land to do so, and because PA want's Atlantic city since thier government spends so much of thier embezzled tax moneys there.

Please, please please help save NJ from extinction.

PS, we are not "the toxic state" that is Deleware aka Dupont-ville.

Hi,

I work at a McDonald's on weekends. I am rather appalled by all this nonsense, but here are some quick facts:

McDonald's as a company STRIVES for quality and customer satisfaction. If you get rude, surly, abrasive, or apathetic service, you can be rest assured it is by personality of the individual serving you. Due to high turnover rates at McDonald's, sometimes it is hard to avoid this, but rest assured employees like this will not last long.

Secondly, the individual who scooped your nine McNuggets into the box (while possibly under pressure from the runner to get the food down the line while an order for 10 double cheeseburgers without pickles and onion, add mayonnaise with extra cheese was pending, mistakes do happen, guy) probably had NO IDEA whether they were serving a grumpy bald guy or a young cheerleader. The assemblers don't run to the window to assess who the customer is.

Finally, most McDonald's I've ever heard of have been willing to replace an entire box of McNuggets even if they just shorted you one, provided you have your receipt. Perhaps, in your extreme hunger, you ingested it.

It is because of individuals such as yourself that we are lucky to have quick service restaurants at all. Imagine having to cook for yourself instead of being able to drive up to a window and never have to get off your tail to get your food. You might consider this option in the future, just don't ruin it for the rest of us.

Y'all are just too funny!!! I was really having a bad day until I read this. Keep up the good work!!!

why do people always comlplain about Mcdonalds, admitedly i work there and hate it and spend all my time complaining but its convenient for me whilst i finish my studies.
if you dont like the service that you get f**k off and eat somewhere else, our jobs would be alot easier if we didint have to serve people like you, people who have no life, nothing better to do than count their chicken nuggets.

most employees dont give a d**n about mcDonalds and probably would like to help McDonalds lose money rather than gain it because if the company does well the employees aint gonna get a payrise but if the compny does bad they aint gonna ave a pay cut.

i very much doubt that they tried to prevent you from getting you full order im sure it was just an honest mistake, they wouldnt intentianly make boring farts like you moan at them even more than they already have to put up with.

why dont you get a life and move on from the sad loss of your chicken nugget. if you react like this to something trivial then i dont wana cross you when something actually worth talking about happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so I had to go to another McD's in town and test my theory. Instead of my usual #1 or doublecheese combo, I get the Big n' Tasty meal.

To my surprise, they now serve this "burger" on a smaller bun than before. So now it is no longer "big". And by the way, it was not too "tasty" either. They need to change the name to Small n' Bland.

So the conspiracy continues. Maybe next time I will try ordering some chix strips and see how many I get. I will keep everyone posted.

it's a 10 piece meal. trust me...my son orders that everytime we go

i've also been a victim of the mcd's conspiracy. i ordered a happy meal through the drive-thru, paid for the toy and found out later that i didn't receive it. the next time, i ordered through the drive-thru and ordered a filet-o-fish combo. i got two freakin' cheeseburgers instead! immediately, i was in tears. i called the freakin' manager and he agreed to give me a free filet-o-fish combo the next time i went in and a free toy from the previous order.

i think mcd's has somehow caught wind of the nuggest conspiracy and is trying to fix a few problems to keep them on the down low.

oh brian i feel ur pain, i too have been mistreated by mcdonalds for years. one time i ordered a mac value big mac meal just to find they gave me a quarter pounder with cheese nad wen i went to complain they sed i didnt need the extra calorie intake neway!

i felt hurt so i went to a private solicitor who sed i would not be able to file a law suit agens the company for caling me over weight (i am only 238pounds) and i felt very hurt about letting a mcdonalds punk get away with such mistreatment to the customer. wat happend to customer service and welfare in the fast food industry?

i remember the day wen i was given the food iwht a smile and a wave not a throw of hte bad and a spit in my drink! i feel that u are very prejeduce about us customers and how we are in the food chain. since wen was i a person to be poked fun at!

i am curently ripped off by all local fast food chains and i feel extremely hurt about the fact i cant do nething for u... d**n THEM, they wil get away and i cant do nething, i blame aliens.

As I have already stated there is a 10 piece McNugget value meal. I don't know any way to prove it on rip-off-reports since they have not posted my photographic evidence which I sent to them more then 4 times. I think that one or two of you skeptics should make a drive to Oak Harbor, Washington and pay a visit to the McDonalds on Highway 20. It is right across the street from Arby's. Which coincidental shorted me 1 roast beef sandwich in my 5 for $5 deal. Luckily I now carried an emergency Butterfinger candy bar(kingsize of course) so I was able to satisfy my hunger. Anyways, checkout the drive-thru menus and you will see the 10 pieve meal listed not once but twice!

On another note, I would like to collect on the offers by all the women to replace my missing nugget. Please email me with contact information so that we can meet soon. Sorry guys but I am straight as they come and will only accept nuggets from attractive females. A nude pic appreciated but not required.

When I was at my desk eating my 14 layer Big Mac, I came across this memo dated 2004.

"To All McDonalds Employees,
Effective Immediately, all McNuggets must be sold in 9 packs instead of the usual 10 packs. It seems that one customer was shorted one McNugget and has foiled our plans of a 10% profit on food.

Forget the fact we have used child labor in making toys overseas. Forget the fact that we openly admitted giving out the winning game peices away to freinds. We must protect ourselves at all costs.

Oh and by the way JFK was killed by Jackie O. thats why she jumped out the back of the car, she was escaping."

But seriously dont fall for the corporate mcdonalds. The foods not good for you and all they care about is feeding us off an assembly line.

I have had food shortages and wrong orders everytime I went there.

I am terribly sorry that you are so distressed by this unfortunate event. Please, allow me to buy you a nugget, perhaps two, to ease your misery.

I'm lovin' it

Amie,

You hit the nail on the head. We ARE kidding you. This whole report is a sham. So sit back and have a good laugh. That endorphin release will make you feel better.

Tim, if I want to be a multi-millionaire, I'll just go place some triple head gumball machines around Philly, like Steve (refer to the Blockbuster thread). I plan to do further research regarding "The Big McLie". I'll post progress reports as they become available. They may be on to me at my usual dive, so I will have to go elsewhere and test the theory.

I do not believe this. Dude you have got to be kidding me. There are men and women dying everyday overseas and you complain about 1 stinking chicken nugget. How about kids that eats out of dumpsters every night and sleep on the streets? Do you think they are complaining about being short a nugget?

If you are that OCD you need help. Go inside for crying out loud and count em if you are that worried. I understand that you were shorted but you are taking it too a whole new level. You are lucky that particular McDonalds does not take a restraining order out on you.

Try a salad next time. I am sure you will count the leaves of lettuce. I am not saying you were not shorted in some fashion or another. What I am saying is that you are taking to a whole new level. I agree with the person who said that McD's does not sell 10 piece nuggets, I have not seen that either.

P.S. Karlton where are you when you could really shine? This report should be excellent exercise for you keyboard and fingers!

If you think about it, Patrick, it's fairly easy to see what happened with your daughter's McNugget:

The best way for McDonald's to deny the veracity of people like Brian and the other victims that have come forward is to set up a widely acceptable alternative explanation. Any victim can tell you: when you try to spread the word, everybody assumes that you just couldn't find your nugget, and disbelieves your tale of nugget shortage.

The myth of the misplaced nugget is thus used to counter the reports of those nuggets which were actually and completely absent.

To perpetuate this myth (I refer to it as "the big lie"), McDonald's corporate offices have realized that they must "make the lie the truth." As such, the policy is to, every so often, place a nugget in an incorrect location in the overall packaging scheme.

It's a great idea, but it doesn't fool those of us who have actually experienced this scam.

I'm deeply disappointed that it seems to have fooled you. I hope that, one day, your daughter's nugget really isn't there. Only then shall you see the truth. I urge you to do some real research and ignore the McLies.

P.S. Please don't respond until you are a documented multi-millionaire (see , rebuttals from "manly." )

OK, so my conscience is getting to me. The story I just posted above is absolutely true in it's entirety, but there was one detail I failed to mention. I did find the missing nugget in the bottom of the happy meal box.

Deliberate, or not? You decide.

Just the other day, I was being waited on at the counter inside. Got a nugget happy meal for my daughter, and a #1 for myself. Just then, this lady comes up to the counter:

"I ordered a double cheeseburger with no pickle, this only has one patty of meat."

"Sorry, we'll make you another one."

5 minutes later, she finally gets her double cheese.

Sit down at the table. Take out those dreaded nugetts, and guess what? That's right, 3 nuggets instead of 4! Brian's right! It's a conspiracy! McDonald's is trying to cut back on the proper amount of food to save money.

I love their double cheeseburgers. You can be sure that from now on I will be closely monitoring how many patties I get (and cheese slices too!).

(BTW, thanks Tim - Valparaiso (sp?) for reminding me that I needed to post on this report. Saw your comment on the Outback post.)

Dear malajusted:

Look -we all love a good joke. However enough is enough. The fact that you are bored or otherwize emotionally retarded may amuse us for a while , but lets get on with our lives.

You got ripped off one nuggett. Big deal. Poor baby. So you use it as an exuse to come up with all kinds of mental and emotional mastubation that does nothing but cheapen the reputation of this site.

When people come here with a legitimate and worthwhile complaint ,the last thing we need is these 'comic relief' posts . The consumer is left thinking that perhaps posting his problem on this site will do little as it is a tongue in cheek satire site.

Stop using this site as a way to get your rocks off and grow up.

As I said in my last posting I now have in posession a clear picture of Oak Harbor McDoanlds' sign proving the existance of the 10 piece nugget meal. I wanted to post this picture on this report to prove once and for all that I am on the level and not some nut job as alleged by several of the responders(who by the way are obviously paid McDonalds employees). I have followed the exact rules as posted by ripoffreports to post a photo. In the email submission I clearly stated where to post the photo and the text to go alone with it.

Instead of posting the picture ripoffreports sent a return email asking if I was the original author of the report. I assured them that I was and returned the picture as the requested. Instead of then posting the picture I got another email asking me where exactly to post the picture.

I answered again and attached another copy of the photo as they requested. Once again instead of posting the photo I received another email which I promptly answered.

Correctly I might add. And still no posting of the photo. I then received a 4th email saying that if I sent the photo another time(I can't understand why when I had already sent it 4 times). I did as asked and sent it a 5th time.
And you know what? Surprize surprize my photo still hasn't been posted and this has been a week!
Obviously McDonalds has contacted ripoffreports and pressured them to not post a photo of the sign. This makes me look like some kind of idiot who makes claims to have evidence that he doesn't.

I am not an idiot! I know the truth and I will not be silent! McDonalds corruption of webmasters will not be enough to stop me from ending the injustice perpretated by McDonalds on innocent Nugget eaters!
Shame on you ripoffreports!

Every time I go to McDonald's, they mess something up. I order coke, they give me diet. I order a number 1 (that's a Big Mac to the uninitiated) and get a fish sandwich. My kids want a hamburger, they get cheese, they want cheese, they get none. I kid you not, every single time. We eat at home a lot now, I got tired of my blood pressure rising at the drive thru.

On another note, I love you Brian. You are a riot! And Timothy, you too!

Next time you order McNuggets, I suggest you ask the store manager to accompany you and two witnesses to a table so you can count the McNuggets before you leave the store. Do this every time you order. At the drive through, have the employee place the McNuggets in the bag one at a time so you can see each one as it falls into the bag. You will never get short-McNuggeted again.

I had the EXACT same thing happen to me, except it wasn't McNuggets, it was fish. After I ate it, then pooped it out, it didn't look ANYTHING like what I bought!!!

These people should be STOPPED!

I long ago got tired of the constant mistakes by McDonalds and other fast food franchises and decided to just intercept the problems as they occur. When I receive my order, whether I am inside the restaurant or in my car at the drive-through, I open the bag at that moment to make sure that everything I ordered is present. I usually handle every wrapped item briefly. I open each container or wrapper enough to verify that it appears to have the ingredients that I ordered.

Yes, I often have the employee glare at me while I am standing there blocking the line, but I do not care! I am the customer and I am in charge. I will stand there blocking the line until they make the order right. Also, when I am in the drive through and they tell me it will be a couple of minutes, and ask me to pull to the side to wait, I turn of my car's ignition and inform them that I will be remaining in place until my order is filled.

I get the order incredibly faster than if you comply with their lame request. The point is, don't let them be in control. You are the customer; be assertive, don't give a d**n what the employees at the restaurnant think, just make sure they deliver what you ordered and return the correct change at the moment the transaction is happening.

It only takes a few extra seconds to make sure the order is right before you walk or drive away. That way you don't have to get angry later.

Another McDonalds employee trying to put misinformation on Rip-Off-Report. There is in fact a 10 piece McNugget meal! After I read this last response to my complaint I immediately snuck down to McDonalds and used my digital camera to take a pick for proof. When I can figure out how you post photos I will post them and you can all see for yourself.

You aren't fooling anyone you Nugget thief! Why not just come out of hiding and admit your involvement. Maybe the Justice Department will be more lenient on you. Whistle Blowers are supposedly protected especially when it's an issue as serious as this.

As for the lovely young lady being a prostitute I must object. Have you no decency! Being out late, dressed sexily and asking for $50 does not make a woman a prostitute.
Get your mind out of the gutter!

Brian, you picked up a hooker off the side of a road(Thats nasty dude...but I understand because it does sound like u need to get laid)...not a McDs employee...and by the way brian, cops need food too. Lets say you're hungry and it's late at night. What do you do? YOU EAT SOMETHING! Also there is no 10 peice chicken McNugget for sale at McDonals, only a nine peice. Maybe the problem isnt the employee's ability to count, but your ability to read. Please Brian...PLEASE don't have any children. Your stupid bald a*s might actually influence them, and 4 times a week at McDonalds is considered a lot.

P.S. I dont work at McDonalds, but i think someone with your IQ should...maybe not i like getting my order right.

So you think your mcnugget deal is bad eh?? (YES, I'm from Canada!) Well think again my balding friend; i read one of the comments about how Mcdonald's forgot the two "All Beef" patties on her burger. Newsflash for you lady, those "All Beef" patties are not actually "All Beef"! There is a company in the states called the "All Beef" company, and this is the company that makes the patties for McDonald's. So when they say there burgers use "All Beef" patties, they are not lying, but not telling the truth. Wrap your brain around that one for a little bit will ya?

Brian, mistakes happen, it has nothing to do with you being bald. Grow up & stop being so paranoid. And before you ask, no I DO NOT work for McDonalds.

I have gladly worked at Mcdonalds for four years now and have the best solution to all of your problems. Pick up the phone and call the store where the order was mixed up at. You can even find the number on the recipt that you are to get. You hold on to this and make sure to tell them exactly what was wrong nicely and they'll work with you to fix the order.

p.s. some of my managers are bald but I say nothing about that to them
p.p.s. next time make sure you check to make sure you have the hamburger. Sometimes we forget to put the meat on sandwhiches. We are humans not Mcd robots after all.

Thanks anyways for the post. I haven't rolled out of my chair laughing for several weeks till today.

Brian, no matter how you count it, you my friend will always be one nugget shy of a ten pack. Thank you for brightening my day.

Brian,
I saw your latest post about needing a lab to check out this dubious nugget you found in your care.
I FOUND A LAB!!! Its in Orlando and according to their sign, they specialize in just this sort of thing. This is what their sign says word for word:
Teggun Enterprises
Found an unusual electronic device in your food?
Let me, Ray (not the McDonalds guy)Kroc analyze it for you.

If you really want that suspicious nugget analyzed, let me know and I will send you the phone number and address.

P.S. I still haven't found my 2 missing all beef patties from a year ago

Brian,
Man, McDonalds really messed up shorting you your 1 McNugget.Are you nuts,let it go.
I know the McDonalds McNuggets are the best but really a lawsuit.This is the funniest thing I have heard all day.

Lmao This is some of the funniest stuff i have ever read. Chances are if you weren't full already 1 nugget wasn't gonna help! McDonald's sucks I too have had the same problem of there being no meat on my burgers or the wrong size meat. one time i had to go to mcdonalds 5 times cause they kept giving me the wrong type of cookies. And I have S.A.D so it's not so easy for me to stand there in front of everyone and really inspect my food. I have totally given up on mcdonalds I went last month after not eating there in over 5 mos and there food just isn't very good i wish i hadn't gone.

On another note I went to Kfc last saturday and they shorted me a honey BBq Wing I wanted to go back cause we weren't even out of the parking lot yet but i just dropped it..lol.. can't imagine driving 10 -15 miles away stopping my car and seaching for it though :)

I was just a rookie on our local police force when I was contacted by a recruiter for from the NMSA (Nugget and Meat Shortage Agency, unlisted division of the FDA). He called himself "Ronny" and said his agency was looking for good men and women to go "undercover" at national fast food chains. After a brief meeting and lucrative fiduciary offer, I consented to come on board. I had no idea how much jeopardy I would be putting my family and myself into.

My assignemnt was to take a dishwashing job at a local "fast food" restaurant. My primary goal was to gather evidence of "McShorting" (this is the agency term for purposely shorting customers on food orders to gain a profit and a laugh).

I was in deep after 4 1/2 years and had moved up to the position of Part Time 3rd Shift Assistant Manager In-Training. I had soon found my college education holding me back as I watched numerous un-educated "street type" people quickly move up and become my managers. All of these "managers" had one thing in common: they were all masterful "McShorters". I started to ask questions here and there and tried to befriend several people but was having little to no luck.

One day I made my move, I had to try something I was feeling the pressure to make a bust. A family of 4 had come to the drive-through and placed and order with me. The order included 4 burgers, 2 nugget orders and a couple french fires. As the family drove towards the pick-up window, I gathered everyone around me. "this is how you do it"! I yelled. I quickly removed the patties from 2 burgers and stuffed 3-4 nuggets in my mouth while everyone looked at me, flabbergasted. I thought this would be the move to finally get me noticed, I would be a "made" man. Within minutes, 3 men with colorful striped outfits ans suspenders rushed into the place, knocked me cold and threw me into the back of a windowless van (I would assume). I finally came out of my dizziness in the backroom of some off-the-beaten-path slaughterhouse. Men with makeup and funny smiles slapped me around and informed me that I had put into danger a mass network of "McShorters" and if their covers were blown it could result in the deaths of thousands employees. "Over-Doing it" I was told made things too obvious and couldnt just be brushed off as "a simple mistake". They could no longer keep me employed becuase I was a risk. 2 missing patties and several missing nuggets would be noticed well before the required "10 miles away" rule. I told them I could "change", I could disappear, whatever they wanted! They said it was too late. As they left the room to discuss how to dispose of my body, I made my escape and climbed through the ventilation shaft, eventually dropping onto a moving truck that took me several towns away. I was able to get to a phone and contact my boss in Washington. I was brought in as a Federal Witness and was quickly put into hiding. The investigation is still pending and we arent sure if anything can or ever will be done. This was larger than we expected. I have said enough- be happy with what you got.

Christina, Christina, Christina!!!! please read the whole thread and understand that the author is not in need of any help. He simply is fishing for people who take life too seriously and think that he is fair dinkum in his 'complaint'.
Thank you for your sage comments. I'm sure Brian and the rest of the posters were very impressed - like we really care about the different quality between Corporate and Franchise Nuggets???? It all tastes rubbery and fatty to me and I avoid it at all costs.
Lighten up Christina and all of the others who thought/think this was a genuine complaint. It is a piece of brilliant humour that has provided great entertainment for many of us as each new 'fish' is hooked. Life is for living - enjoy it while you can and keep laughing - it is the best medicine.
Kind Regards,

Okay so yes, I am a prior employee of Macdonald's, but not a franchise. I worked for a Corporation Resturaunt earlier last year. We checked everything three times, replaced orders when needed, and actually cooked everything fresh. This was in Parkland, WA near Tacoma. But then something terrible happened...We were bought out, franchised. I refused to go there and be rehired. It was a crummy resturaunt before the Corporation took it over, and now that it was re-franchised, it is even worse, from what I am told. So my first suggestion is if you want to avoid such childish mistakes with your food, don't go to a franchised store. Take the time to actually find a Corporation resturant and stick with them. They have better quality, better service, and they will not short you. They will check everything three times, they will clean the grease traps, AND they will make sure that everything is clean.

Now, that is the best suggestion I can give you. The next is to get some mental help. Brian, I am sorry, but I have never seen anyone be prejusdiced against bald or balding men or women for that fact. The same for overweight people. I have a friend that is 400 something pounds and somewhere above 6 ft tall. He enjoys McDonald's from time to time, and everytime he goes, drive thru or counter, they give him very good service. Jack in the Box has gotten my order wrong more times in the 3 years I was in WA than in the 18 years I have periodically ordered from McDonald's. The same for him. Another reason why I suggest getting mental help is because seriously, no one cares if you were shorted a McNugget, there are only 9 nuggets in the "10" piece" That is why it is called a 9 piece. Where people got that it is a 10 piece is beyond me. McDonald's would not purposely short you food. I am sure IF they did....If in fact you truly believe there was a mistake, you should have turned around, walked inside, looked at the menu to double check yourself, and if you were still right, talk to a manager. Not come here and post your drama to a bunch of people who are getting a kick out of stupidity, because we can't do anything for you Brian. That's just the way it is. Now to the other guy, sorry I can't remember your name...McDonald's would not go thru all the trouble of sending some Supreme Court candidate to torment you for a couple hours with alcohol and McNuggets...They just don't have that kind of time. They are too busy shorting people and trying to make more profit (from what ya'll are saying) that they wouldn't have the time of day to pay someone to sit in your car to order food and other dumb stuff. You seriuously need some help too. Ya'll have paranoia issues and need to get over them fast. Oh yeah, and by the way, McNuggets do last a long time after they are cooked. I never figured it out in the 6 months I was in McDonald's...but will tell you this. One night I was clenaing a fryer. I pulled it out from the wall because it was montly inspections (You know how everyone scurries at the last minute thru all the last minute scrubs no one wanted to do) So anyhow, I began sweeping behind the fryer when I noticed a brown McNugget. It was crispy and toasted brown just like it had come out of the fryer, but it wasn't hot. That didn't surprise me.One of my coworkers came over and tore the nugget in half. It was just as juicy on the inside as all our nuggets are when they are served to customers. My coworker explained that this was a nugget that had gotten thrown behind the fryer a month prior but everyone wanted to see what would happen if it stayed there...I mean to the mcnugget. ANyhow, I suppose I may just be lowering myself to your level by even bothering to respond, but I just felt like I needed to voice my two cents. Take care, get help.

Low and behold - the missing nugget!! Found in Australia! Brian, Brian, Brian
Next time you pick up a hooker make sure she counts her McNuggets before you leave the drive-thru
Thanks Tim and Cory for the great laughs

I need to find a lab that can conduct tests on food products and electronics. I think there is some sort of electronic device in the nugget that McDonalds had placed in my car. I was talking to my doctor on the phone and I went to get the nugget out to describe it to him and my phone cut off for no reason. I thought it was just normal but I couldn't get another connection. As soon as I left the room my doctor called back but as soon as I went back into the room where my safe is the phone quit again. This happened 20 times and then I got mad. I think that there is a tracking device in my nugget that McDonalds hopes will help them prove I still go to McDonalds.
I keep hearing this strange buzzing that sounds a bit like someone talking really fast but far away. It wasn't so bad at first but it seems to be getting louder. So obviously I need to find a lab that can do tests but I can't find my phonebook.
Please help.

Brian & Tim,

Thanks for the laughs. Really needed it for a Friday afternoon.

By the way, I used to manage at McDonald's, and can confirm everything that you have stated is factual. But here's a friendly piece of advice. Keep those old nuggets out of your car. They can be considered a lethal weapon! And if a cop finds one hidden under your seat, you can be arrested on a concealed weapons charge.

Hi from Australia Brian. I have just read the whole thread and love your sense of humour! The number of people that you got going was amazing. Perhaps some of them may want to buy the Sydney Harbour Bridge from me - I'll do a good deal and throw in 20 Nuggets with sauce for the trip across the Pacific to collect it. By the way we do spell humour with a "u" down under so it's not a typo.

Keep up the great work and perhaps when you have succeeded in bringing the arches tumbling down you may look into the unfried KFC scandal or the rumour that Wendy's are going to rebadge themselves as Cyril's or other such important conspiritorial (don't even know if that's a word but looks good for a hick from down under)issues.
Well done!!!

Almost the same exact thing happened to me back in the early 90s.

I was at a party, drinking heavily, trying to drown out the memory of my own missing from McNugget several months before.

This black guy in a long black robe burst into the room and shouted "I'm long dong silver!" He then lunged toward me and ordered "take me to McDonald's, you fat b*****d!"

It seemed as though I had no choice. We got in my car, and when I asked him his name he demanded that I call him "the judge." I asked why, and he said that he was going to be on the Supreme Court, and that he knew karate, so I'd better not stand in his way.

Along the way to McDonald's, he ordered me to stop at a liquor store. I waited in the car as he ran in, and not 30 seconds later he came running out with a bottle of Heaven's Hill. He shouted "drive! drive!" The whiskey wasn't even in a bag or anything, I'm pretty sure he employed his karate kills in the store.

He drank that entire bottle of booze on the way to McDonald's. When we got to the drive in, he leaned over me and knocked his chin on the door frame. He lurched up and shouted "give me some ****ing nuggets." The voice came over the speaker: "Welcome to McDonald's, would you like to try a Big Mac combo meal today?" The judge replied "I already told you what I wanted, so just give my d**n nuggets and stop trying to force your disgusting Big Macs on me, you miserable little n**i!" The voice came back "How many McNuggets did you want?" "Two hundred." "So you want 10 of the twenty piece?" "NO! I want 10 of the 10 piece!" "We don't have ten piece, and that's only 100." "Then just give me 20 of the 9 peicers, and five of the four piecers and stop standing in my way! I know karate!"

On the way back to the party, he devoured all of the nuggets. Or so I thought. The next day I found five nuggets in various places in my car. At first I thought that maybe, instead of being shorted a nugget all those months before, I had actually been given four extra. I was just about to blow out all of the candles on my Ronald McDonald altar of sorrow when I realized what was really going on. McDOnald's had sent a Supreme Court nominee to take me on a wild ride and, ultimately, to plant five McNuggets in my car.

I called the corporate headquarters and told them that they would not get away with this. They told me that my whole story was preposterous and asked if I had a penchant for hallucinogens. They then explained that it isn't unusual for months-old McNuggets to be as fresh as the day they were made. Apparently, after they shoot the flesh off the chicken carcass with a high pressure hose, they soak the "hydraullically retreived" meat in a heavy preservative. They said that you could eat a nugget that Abe Lincoln dropped in the oval office and still be fine. I told them I was calling the police.

The police said that they couldn't do anything, but I know they are just too busy wasting time on murders and robberies to take care of problems that real people have. Now that I see the same thing has happened to someone else, I know that I was right.

Let me know if you get a class action going. I'm also interesetd in suing Taco Bell because they always put all the meat on one side of the taco. We need to send these bullies a message.

You know, I realize that you may have been shorted 1 McNugget, and that is truely a horrible thing, but come on. Is this 1 McNugget really worth all the time, frustration, and negative energy you are putting into it. When ever something like this happens to me, I always ask myself if the energy I would put forth trying to recover my loss would be worth the time and agrivation of the situation.

I really do not think you are using your time and energy wisely by continuint to be bitter over this 1 chicken McNugget. Come on... It was just 1 McNugget. I really do not think they shorted you on purpose. If you feel they did, then maybe you should not give that store your business. I would suggest that you let it go. Get over it. Quit wasting your valuable energy on this trivial issue and do your very best to live a happy, peaceful life. Trust me, you will be a lot happier if you do not focus your energy on small trivial issues such as this..... I just do not feel that the situation warrents the agrivation you are having about this. This is just my advise to you. Take it or Leave it....... Good Luck,

I cleaned my car out last week so that I could sell it. When I pulled out all the junk out from under my seat I found my long lost nugget. Or so I had thought.

At first I figured it had to be my nugget since I have refused to eat at McDonalds since the "incident". Oh sure it has been hard.

McDonalds has spent millions on advertizing trying to lure me back but I have stood strong! Pictures of fresh hot McNuggets held by beautiful scantily clad women have been everywhere I look but all McDonalds' efforts have gone for naught.

I have not bought a single McDonald meal since the cursed thieft! Well when I really got to looking at this particular nugget something just didn't seem right. It appeared to be to fresh to be several months old. It was moist and meaty just as you would expect a just bought nugget to be. It even had that fresh nugget smell. You know the kind when you just open the bag after leaving the drive-thru and get that first steamy wiff of hot breaded chicken.

Anyways it got me to thinking. How could a nugget survive all these months in my car. Was it really the same nugget? I thought back to who has been in my car lately and can't remember many. I broke up with my girlfriend because of the millennium crises it couldn't have been her. Then it hit me. I picked up this woman down on Mercer street in Seattle who looked like she really needed a friend. Right after she got in the car the police pulled up behind us with their lights flashing and the officer came up to the door and started asking me questions. She told the cop that She was hitchhiking to McDonalds and I stopped to give her a ride.

The cop said that if that's true he would follow us to the McDonalds because he was going that way himself. Well this young lady bought herself a box of nuggets and appeared to eat them all. If I had watched closer I would have seen that seen planted a nugget under my seat to trick me. You see I now realize that it was all a setup. Why would a beautiful woman need a friend? She was very attractive and dressed very sexy. Surely she would have all kinds of friends so she wouldn't need another one. It is obvious that this was a planned hatched by McDonalds to be able to get a McNugget into my car so that I would think it was mine and never was missing in the first place. It might have worked except for one thing. They forgot to age the nugget. That was a BIG tip off! It probably wasn't even a real cop. What cop would be going to McDonalds at 11 pm?

Nice try McDonalds! But I am smarter then that! I now have that nugget sealed in a ziplock bag locked in my safe. I will be taking it to be analyized next week.

I will keep Rip-off-report.com advized of the results!

Mcdonalds sells there Nuggets 4 ways:
(1):4 piece nuggets in happy meals
(2):6 piece nuggets
(3):9 PIECE NUGGETS
(4):20 piece nuggets
THERE IS NO 10 PIECE NUGGET.

Does Mcdonalds Service stink,yes
does Mcdonalds Quality Stink,yes
Does Mcdonalds employee morons who cant count,yes
However in this case they clearly are in the right.

wow, this really has uplifted my mood. When i read the initial rip off report, my first thought was "wow - this has got to be a joke, making fun of those who whine about everything and nothing, just to hear their own voice. You go man!!", but then I began to wonder, as I've read on, to see more of Brian's rebuttals. Now I'm faced with the question... "Is he freakin serious?!"

On a more serious note,

There is no "conspiracy" that forces mcdonalds employees to purposely cheat the customer. Unfortunately that does happen, but I've never seen it intentionally done. If anyone ever came back with an order that was incorrect, I replaced it, no arguments given.

Now, if the person was extremely rude, and refused my first offer of replacing the missing/screwed up order, or giving the money back (with the return of the uneaten portion, of course - owner's rules.. he was a cheapskate), then I would not stress myself, or argue with them, I would just politely tell them their options, and if they still refused, tell them to have a nice day, and give them the office number, where they could speak directly to the owner/operator.

As for the other reports, the missing meat - wow. Those people need to pay more attention to what they're doing when assembling food. I can say that I have had a similar experience, but when I went back, or called, they were willing to replace the sandwiches upon my returning to the store, without hassle, even if I came back the next day, or even a week later. Most places have a book where they write your name in if you get a free burger, so you can come back whenever you want to get it.

Also - Brian - if you want your nugget, try being nicer, or more professional about it. You need to take note of that old saying "you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar".

I was a manager for McD's for 5 months before I got smart enough to leave. They treat the employees bad including changing your hours worked. I was constantly shorted. Would work 10 hrs only to find out someone changed them to 8, etc. The training is poor. Alot of times there are mistakes but mostly due to the constant push to be faster. Nothing is ever double-checked even though there is a sticker on it. As for the nuggets, most of the time the person putting them in the box doesn't count... just grabs a hand full which can cause shortages but can also cause overage. So much of that restaurant is a joke I could go on all day but I have to get back to work at a great company. Good luck... best just to go to Burger King, etc

I hope that you are joking.

However, given the state of America now a days, you prolly arent.

But yes, McDonalds loves to take money from you.

You say you were so hungry that one more Chicken McNugget would have filled you up. Are we eating the same kind of nuggets. I mean, if you were truly that hungry, I know that one more nugget would not have filled you up.

I am glad that McDonalds shortchanged you. It made you write this article and let me laugh at you for being so "amusing".

So please, try and sue McDonalds and let everyone in America laugh at you for being one of the dumbest people.

I applaud you sir.

BTW--when you keel over dead from a heart attack, from either eating there or arguing over the loss of one nugget, i wont mourn. Actually i will, but only your stupidity and the loss of my being able to laugh at you.

To set the record straight, I AM a balding man, definately overweight (425lbs at 6 ft 5 in), but I do not eat at micky d's every day, but when i do me and my wife usually get breakfast, and almost every time when i order the two hashbrowns for one dollar, they short me a hashbrown! One time when they got me there were two hashbrown bags but only one hashbrown! God forbid you order a combo AND the 2 for 1 hashbrown...I got TWO, not THREE. My brother works at a McDonalds, I love him, but he is an IDIOT, as such he has the gall to tell me the things his 'stupid' customers do, such as ordering a D-B-L cheeseburger. I actually think that is pretty smart, since they are trying to use the menu as it is spelled, since the register probably has it as dbl chbgr. My brother only works the register. I guess the fact he couldn't make it through Navy Boot Camp among other things. I love my brother. I have gotten tired of spending more time than it is worth to complain about wrong orders, especially through the drive through. Since I and many others who use the d-t don't have time to get their order right, it reinforces the policy of slackards f-ing it up,and making big bucks for the corporate office.

I no longer eat fast food as of last week and took my savings and purchased about 250 bucks of staple foods to make more healthy meals.

Brian, you deserve a break today, and you deserve your nuggets.

i work for maccy's in the uk and its is not worth the money workin there i am only on 4.15 a hour and am 18 its not even worth waking up for.
but the nuggets thats right and wrong because i do nuggets sumthimes and if we r in a rush we try and count them to r best then serve them.but yes some times you have cowboys at these place's like the mangers they nearly cowboy everythin so they can close early.if a manger tells me to do somthin daft or nasty i tell them to walk because i aint doin owt on the wages that am on its daft they need to put the wages up alot and to stop cashin in them selfs

Was that nine nuggets or ten?

To tell you the truth, I lost count myself in all the excitement.

So you need to ask yourself, "Do I need a break today?"

Well, Brian, do you deserve a break today?

I am a manager of a McDonald's here in on the West Coast of Florida. All this stuff I have read here is a bunch of bull. There is no policy for shorting customers mcnuggets or shorting them meat on their burgers. Sometimes things like that happen. It has happened at my store before, yes customers get mad, but we are human, we all make mistakes! My employees now how to count. I work for a franchise and before we even hire employees we make sure they know how to count. We have a very strict hiring policy, we only hire the best of the best. All these bad experiences sound like to me isolated events. As far as employees giggling in the back, they are allowed to talk and communicate with each other while working, they may not be laughing at you or anything. You guys must be visiting some of the bad resturants that unfortunatly exist, those give stores like mine a bad name.

Dear Bald Guy,

I went into shock after I read of your ordeal, in being shorted a chicken nugget, from your local Golden Arches fast food establishment.

Once I recovered from the initial shock, I have taken it upon myself to ease your suffering at the hands of these fast food thugs, and will send to you a replacement nugget.

Could you please tell me what part of the chicken, is the nugget? Once I have that info, I will start a grass roots movement of concerned citizens who eat only the well known parts of the chicken, but for reasons known only to themselves, are not inclined to sample that particular part of the fowl.

Having done all that, I/we, will then set up a chicken nugget depository designated for all persons (bald or not),who have been shorted in this worldwide conspiracy (communist plot). Which in turn, should bring much needed relief, to all the victims who have suffered at the hands of these evildoers.

Yours truely,
Concerned Citizen

Brian,

Have you heard the saying,'what goea around,comes around'? All you are going to accomplish with all of this whining is the development of ulcers and high blood pressure.
Eating at McDonalds in the first place is like pouring fat and cholestrol straight into your arteries.

I suggest that you save yourself a little self-esteem (if you have any) and do not contact anyone about a class action suit. I really do not think that there is any kind of conspiracy going on. Just people that are not perfect.

Have you ever worked in any kind of management position in this type of field? I have. I worked at a local tavern for almost nine years. We sold more food than we did beer and pulltabs. When the owner and manager were away, I was left in charge.Otherwise, I was in the position of night management. It is impossible to keep on top of all employees, and their mistakes, at all times.

This is ridiculous behavior that you are displaying. Let it ride and let fate take care of it. What goes around does come around. I see no sense in anyone making such a mountain out of a molehill in times when we should be uniting and remembering 9-1-1 incidents.

Hi Brian!

Read your report and I don't find it in the least bit odd that you've been cheated out of McNugget. However, I don't think that you would win in any kind of lawsuit...these corporations have very expensive and smooth talking lawyers.

However, McDonalds does seem to hire peoples who really do not know what they are doing. There is one here in Greer, SC that about 2 years ago always got our order wrong and usually had to wait and wait and wait for inside service, even though there were only a handful of people around. Had my fill of bad service and so, my family decided not to eat there anymore.

Two years later, my family and I decided to give these guys another chance and that perhaps management has changed, new workers perhaps, and faster service finally arrived. Some things never change, I guess. Not only did these people get our inside order all wrong, but we had to wait over half an hour for our food. We are a family of 4, and there were no more than 10 customers waiting with us. Now we eat at a very yummy place which gives us fast service, hot food, and the correct ordered food...Jack's!

I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL BRIAN,, WE NEVER GET OUR WHOLE ORDER. THE FIRST TIME I DIDNT GET MY MCCHICKEN SANWICH,, NWXT TIME THEY SHORTED US 2 CHEESEBURGERS, THIS LAST TIME THEY TRIED TO SHORT ME 2 APPLE PIES.

THEY JUST UPDATED THEIR STORE HERE, ALL THIS NEW COMPUTER EQUIPTMENT, AND THIS AUTOMATED SODA FOUNTAIN, THAT FILLS YOUR CUP.

MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE SPENT THAT MONEY TRAINING THEIR EMPLOYEES TO FILL ORDERS CORRECTLY. I DONT THINK ITS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST BALDING MEN, AS I AM NOT BALDING. I THINK THAT MCDONALDS NEEDS TO HIRE PEOPLE THAT CAN READ, ADD, SUBTRACT, AND HAVE A BRAIN.

has this guy gone off the deep end or what? it's only a stupid chicken mcnugget. get over it already..

I searched my car when it was lost and since you asked I went and checked again and it isn't there. I am not fat from eating McDonalds everyday. I only eat there 3 or 4 times a week at most so don't go there.

If you had read the post from other people you would have seen that I am not the only one missing food. If you wish to close your eyes to the McDonalds conspiracy then so be it. Thanks to ripoffreports my eyes have been opened and I will not be silent. You should that the patrons of ripoffreprts as well, it might be your nugget that is saved next.

I doubt that you would be saying such things if you had your nuggets stolen.
Jason and Bruce are obviously McDonalds employees and are probably sitting there giggling in their Ronald McDonald costumes as the write.

We will not be silenced! Rise up my brothers and protect you nuggets!

Did you look under the seat ?? it may have fallen there or is your a*s to fat from eating at MCD'S every day ?????????

Rick, probably the reason that you got your full meal and the mistake corrected is that do not live in the U.S. As you can see they did try and withhold your cheese in the first place and if you hadn't demaded that they correct it you would have been as deprived as us. Had you been in the U.S. I doubt very much that you would have gotten a slice of cheese at all.

Tim, I can feel your pain brother. We do need to gather forces and end this tyranny. McDonalds must be stopped. Although I didn't mention it I am also a bit overweight. 5' 9" 250. These giggling cowards can hide behind the counter all they want but we all are becoming aware of there secret plan. You might want to do what I have and carry a candy bar in your glove box for emergencies. I recommend King Size ButterFingers because they have nearly the same nutritional value as a McNugget or a hamburger patty with cheese.

Thank god for ripoffreports or we wouldn't be on to their scheme.

As I warned Greg. Beware of the onions!

I too can relate. Here in Florida, employees are stealing HAMBURGERS!! Just yesterday I ordered a Big Mac at the drive through. Lo and behold, when I get home and start to eat my BIg Mac, what do I find? Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun but NO HAMBURGERS!! Needless to say I was LIVID! Something needs to be done.I noticed one of the employees giggeling also. Though I am not bald, I am a bit over weight and I think they noticed this and deceided to deprive me of my 2 all beef patties. We must band together to stop this blatant theft of our food! STAND UP AND DEMAND YOUR FOOD BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!

Look Brian, its a single chicken nugget. Filing a class action law suit is the biggest waste of time. I suggest that you just take your business elsewhere. One more thing, get over it already, its just a freaking chicken nugget, if you think McDonalds intentionally made you hungry, you have some serious issues and too much time on your hands. Find a new hobby or something.

From reading the rebuttals I can tell I am not alone. Greg is right you can follow the trail of nugget, burgers and french fries right to the white house. To know that there is an actual manual that shows the steps in their master plan helps but what would help more to a copy of it. Is there any chance that you keep the one they gave you or that you made a copy?

As for Cory's suggestion that I order inside, that is what I did. My car has a big hole in the muffler and I can't hear them on the speaker so I have to go inside. I didn't count them and thank god I didn't because I never would have become aware of the problem if I had.

They would have given me the nugget and probably taken 2 from the next poor customer. I didn't order a dessert because I know exactly how many nuggets and fries it takes to fill me up and if McDonalds hadn't shorted me I wouldn't have ended up buying the King Size Butterfinger.

Greg please beware if you are getting onions on your hamburgers. Onions are a tool of the devil. I also heard something about pickles arranged in a special way are the eqiviency of giving you the finger but I haven't been able to substantiate it. It's most likely a rumor.

Despite your bad experience, I actually had a good one at McD's the other day. I went inside to the counter and ordered a Big 'N Tasty sandwich, an apple pie and a small drink for dine-in. The server asked if I wanted cheese, to which I responded "yes". I got to my table and was about 3/5ths of the way through my burger when I realised they forgot to add cheese. I went to the counter and notified the aforementioned server and she sent out a replacement sandwich, with cheese! And I got to keep the cheeseless one.

If he got naked, that would make 13.

I have worked for the Mc Donalds Corporation for years and what you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg so to say.

When I first read the employee manual and went to the training for this company, they sound very honest and open. They talk about how you should always make sure the order is double and even triple checked, to make sure the grease traps are thouroughly cleaned daily, and to make sure that you always ask the customer if they want fries with that, and then to ask to supersize it. Upsell, Upsell, Upsell is what they call it!

Well, after about two weeks of working there, I saw the real dealings going about our franchise. I was filling a super size fry once and so I filled it up with a full sized scoop. Well, the manager came by and started yelling, saying that every extra fry I put in the customers order took one fry out of his childs mouth. He fixed me with a stare and asked if I was trying to starve his child to death. Well, I felt bad about almost killing his child, so I took out enough fries that it was about the same as a regular size.

I then asked the manager what we should do about how the fries looked a little sparse now. He said arrange em, fluff em, that's how we make a profit around here at the Mc Donalds Corp. I learned that day how to arrange the fries so that they looked like more were in there. I referred my manager back to the manual I had received earlier that week, and he just sneered and said "that manual is just a cover for the Feds when they come poking around, don't believe everything you read!" I felt both good (that I had pleased my manager), but I also felt dirty that I had cheated the customer. I went home and cried that night (and I'm a guy mind you, and no sissy at that!).

That night I decided to type a document that would sever this dubious relationship.
The next morning I attempted to tender my resignation and handed the manager my resignation letter. He read it over and then, to my disbelief, tore it up said he could not accept it. He offered me a .50 raise. I couldn't believe it, usually it takes between 90 and 360 days to receive your first raise. Then I thought about how we had cheated the customer the day before and knew that I couldn't accept this offer. When I told this to my Manage, he just laughed and said that my wife Julie and daughter Cynthia might not be happy if I didn't accept. I couldn't believe he knew about my wife and child since I had not mentioned them in any conversation.

Well, to make a long story short, it's now years later, and I have learned all the tricks including the "nine nugget" scam. I used to feel good when I cheated a customer out of their nuggets, but now I just feel, I don't know....empty.

I agree with Brian, this is obviously a purposeful act on McDonalds behalf to take over the country. Michael Moore is not powerful enough to stop this corporation. Today it's McNuggets tomorrow it will be our children. I see it has already begun and they are now stealing burgers. I wouldn't be surprized if the only left the onions and pickles on my next order.
I have to wonder if Garnet is bald. The fact that the employees of McDonalds were laughing is right along the lines of what Brian experienced. I doubt that is is a coincidence or an isolated event.

I have also been shorted, many times, on my orders in the drive thru at McDonalds. The lastest rip-off and the straw that broke the camels back, was last month I got lunch for my son and his co-workers as a treat because they were so busy. I orders $25 worth of burgers and fries. Out of 15 burgers only '3' actually had the burger on it, the others were only bun and condiments. It was a 20 minutes trip back to McDonalds to fix and my son's lunch hour was over by the time I got back. It took 15 minutes of arguing with the manager to get my money back. She didn't speak english and I don't speak anything else. You could also see and hear the employees in the back laughing. This is just the lastest in down-hill spiral that McDonalds has been going thru in the last 5 years. It will also be the last time I go there..

Yes Moore would be a good person to have on my side but I don't think he could do this problem justice. After you planted that seed in my brain I have come to understand the full implications of McDonalds withholding of my nugget. I know it now is a full blown right-wing conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of government. I know realize that this is not just about my nuggets, it's about keeping us bald guys down. When was the last time you saw a bald guy as president? Not in as long as I know! The government fears us nearly as much as Cory does. The taking of my nugget was just the first step in their master plan to enslave bald men and use our superior intellect to control the rest of society. Next they will be forcing us into camps and force us to procreate against our will to increase the IQ of the nation. Rest assured I will fight this to the bitter end! I will do everything in my power to stop them. They can try and seduce me with as many beautiful women as they want but it won't do them any good because I will be getting a vasactomy this weekend. Have no fear for my safety Rick. I will pretend to enjoy the pleasures of the beautiful women who will no doubtably be brain-washed wives of republicans but while to the world it might appear that I am enjoying it in my mind I will be resisting and planning my escape from their evil clutches.
The thieft of my nugget is just the first step in their plan for world domination! Be afraid! Be very afraid they nugget you save may be your own!

Brian, no I am not an employee of McDonald's though I did work for Jack about 34 yrs ago. I do have a solution for your McNugget problem. Skip the drive thru, go inside order your McNuggets and count them BEFORE you leave the counter. That way if there is a discrepancy between the number ordered, the number paid for and the number delivered it can be recified before you depart. And, get some help.

That's the way to stick it to the man, by taking it to the streets. If O'Reilly won't back you up, I guarantee you Michael Moore will. Remember, he's the master of corporate confrontation.

I can sympathize with anyone who has dealt with McDonalds. I have a McDonalds, 1 mile exactly from my house (palmdale, CA). This Mc Donalds is located on Ave "S" in Palmdale. Imagine this. It's 11:30 pm.

There is no body in the restaurant at that time, and only one car in the drive through--me. After waiting about 10 min's for two double cheese burgers, the guy throws the bag of burgers at me as if he was in the decathalon for the Olympics. Not only did he give me the incorrect change(he short changed me), my burgers were cold and in no way resembled their juicy plump burgers they show on TV(they must be plastic models).

These burgers were not only cold, but looked like they were run over by a steam roller. They were more like hot cakes not burgers. Anyway, I could not believe this guy gave me back the wrong change from a $5.00 bill. The burgers were going for a dollar a piece. so adding tax.(doing the math) how could this guy give me the incorrect amount. He probably could only count til 11 if he got naked. There was no night time supervision and all the employees were playing.

I have refused going to that MCDonalds since they lack proper management, and they always get the order wrong and the bathrooms and restaurant look like a pig sty (spelling?).So my suggestions, do like I do, go to KFC, burgerking, Wendies, Carls Jr, or someother fast food restaurant. PS. When have people stopped being polite and courteous to their consumers, especially when we are the ones who pay their salaries My rule:. No eats, no monies. Would you like fries with that?

Cory, I paid for 10 nuggets not 9. I therefore was entitled to recieve 10 nuggets in my box. An apology from McDonalds at this point wouldn't be enough to end my outrage at their shortchanging me. I will not relent in my anger until I have forced McDonalds out of business. I have a 3 step plan to accoplish this.

1. I will call them daily to ask them where my missing nugget is. I will demand that the missing nugget be given to me immediately. And it better still be warm and edible so I suggest they act fast.

2. After the return of my nugget and believe me they had better return it unharmed, I will be standing in front of Oak Harbor's McDonalds daily holding a sign stating "McDonalds tried to steal my nuggets". I will be handing out flyers discribing the misappropiation of my valuable nugget. The flyer will also include a link to ripoffreports.com and this report.

3. I will contact the local and national media and tell them all about my unjust withholding of my paid for merchandise. I believe Bill O'Reilly himself will take up my cause.

4. I will seize control of Mcdonalds by forcing them into bankruptcy with a trillion dollar lawsuit and puchasing their assets for pennies on the dollar.

Hmmm that is 4 steps but I think that you get the idea. Believe they are going down!
As for you Cory you are probably just another one of the prejudice people who has it in for us balding men. Have no fear Cory, although we are bald it is from a higher testostrone level then average men like you have. It also makes us more intelligent then average and more sensitive to abusive behavior by inferior people.

From reading your rebuttal I suspect that you are infact an employee, manager or owner of a McDonalds. Probably even one from the Oak Harbor one. There is no way you could have the inside information that you have unless you are involved somehow with my missing nugget. Heck I wouldn't be surprized if you are the employee who was giggling at me after eating my nugget.
You are going down!

Brian,

That was the funniest s**t I have ever read on here (except for the Tupper threads, of course).

However, I don't think ED will take kindly to your abuse of the ROR.

Still funny though.

Brian,

The way you wrote this sounds similar to the way you eat. I mean you sounded like you were starving and in all the excitement of "SATISFYING" your appetite it is quite possible that there were 2 nuggets stuck together. We all have seen that now and then.

As for stoping at the next store for dessert, I don't know why you just didn't order a sunday or cherry pie while you were at MC Donalds.

and Brian? Please don't tell me that when you actually stopped the car to look for the lost nugget that if it had actually been there on the floor or between the seats that you would have eaten it?(eewww!)

As for the McNugget scam, I really doubt the managers are telling it's workers to only put in 9 nuggets.

My suggestion is for you to go inside and order from now on. That way you can count your nuggets in front of the cashier BEFORE you eat them, NOT while you are eating them.

Wow, this is a pretty amazing post. Not much to say other than I think Brian has some issues. He has a point about their ability to count though. They do have some difficulty counting change sometimes.
