Where the OJ roams free...

[Amina516]

(title may not have anything to do with my post. Just trying to be creative!! Lol.)

I put this here, but it should really be in a "Sucky Restaurant" forum.. :P

We go to McDs for breakfast. Get some combo meals and OJ and then continue to drive to a bank. Hubby get out of the car and goes into the bank. My daughter and I break out the hash browns and start on the OJ.

It was the most HORRIBLE OJ Ive EVER had. It was sickeningly sweet. Hubby comes back. Says it tastes like syrup (or concentrate) and so we drive back up the road (It was like less than 1 minute away.)

He takes the OJ and goes inside and relays this story

Hubby: Hi. Can i speak to a manager please?
Employee: Sure. *calls manager*
Manager: How can I help you?
Hubby: *explains OJ issue*
Manager: Oh, no problem. We has this issue yesterday morning. Let me get you some OJ from the other machine.

Manager grabs some new cups and starts to let the OJ flow and apparently it comes out all gloppy and obviously wrong.

Manager: *walks up with cups* Here this'll be better. Have a good day.
Hubby: *walks over and grabs a straw and tastes one.* Hey, i hate to tell you this, but its worse than the first round. Its horrible.
Manager: Oh, uh.....*stammers something inaudible*
Employee: *YELLING* I TOLD YOU WE NEEDED TO STOP SELLING THAT STUFF LIKE 2 HOURS AGO!!!!!
Manager:*sheepishly* Let me get you a refund sir.

So, the manager KNEW the OJ was bad for a few hours and kept selling it anyways. /sigh

We got our $$ back and just broke into the OJ we had at home. Egg McMuffin was awesome sauce... mmmm.

That's what happens when you forget to fish out the Olympic Rat Relay Swimming Team from the OJ machine for a few days.

That is utterly horrible and equally hilarious. Thanks for that horrific mental image.

One more reason I don't eat fast food, as if I needed another. lol

This sounds like something you should let corporate know about.

I thought about it, but i didnt want to come off as complain-y since we had gotten a refund.

Think this merits an ebilz email? Lol. Ok, so not so evil. My last email to a corporation about shitty service came back with a generic sorry form.

I've NEVER found the 'OJ" @ mcds to taste anything remotely resembling actual OJ anyways lol. i just tend to stick to coffee or water if i'm gettin breakfast there.

[Evil Queen]

Concentrated OJ has way too much sugar anyways. Just take your $$ and buy a gallon container at the store.

The Sightings forum works for posts about sucky businesses and employees as well as sucky customers you encounter when out and about:

Sucky Customers and Workers seen elsewhere

Moved it here for you.

I'd certainly send a note to corporate that some training needs to be done about not selling inedible things.

Kudos to the employee for having the balls/ovaries to tell the manager in front of customers that he's a screw up.

[Kogarashi]

Ok, so I'm thinking that maybe the employee shouldn't have shouted that in front of customers, but for some reason I'm finding that employee to be my new hero anyway. I laughed.

It's been a while since I've gotten breakfast at fast food places, but the last time I did, the OJ was in one of those pre-filled and foil-sealed cups, like we used to get in the cafeteria in grade school. They have dispensers for it now? One more reason for me to get milk next time I get breakfast.

....ngh. SERIOUSLY?

...maybe the manager was a newbie?

[RoadRanger]

If you think that is disgusting, then be glad you weren't with me the day I decided to stop buying McD's shakes.

I had ordered a shake, the woman, went to fill the cup and nothing would come out. So, she puts glove on her hand up to the wrist, then proceeds to stick her arm UP TO THE ELBOW into the FULL SHAKE VAT!


CHECK PLEASE!

[SansDoute]

From the thread title, I immediately thought someone was going to be complaining about the lack of free-range OJ. Then I had a mental picture of an Orange on a horse wearing a cowboy hat.

My mind is a scary place. I don't even know how I got there.

That being said;

Manager grabs some new cups and starts to let the OJ flow and apparently it comes out all gloppy and obviously wrong.

Just what was the OJ getting up to in there?
