Called after cadets bought burgers and fries disappointed in no milkshakes

I had an extremely disappointing experience with my recent McDonald’s order. After waiting nearly two hours for delivery, the order arrived missing several items—including the meal intended for a child, leaving them with nothing to eat. This was not only frustrating but completely unacceptable. When I called to address the issue, the manager on the phone was rude and unhelpful, showing no empathy or willingness to resolve the situation. The lack of care and poor customer service made an already bad experience even worse. I won’t be ordering from this location again.

I was told they could not take my order for 10mins. Despite there being another person there giving their order and received their order at the same time as myself. But for some reason the other person was more privilege than I. Discrimination at its finest. If you want Equality go elsewhere.

Called to Stairfoot Macdonlds for my grandkids a Minecraft happy meal each plus other orders We were told they didn’t do happy meals in the Minecraft section so we ordered adult Minecraft chicken nugget meals with sprite and milk shakes besides other orders 🤬 we drove back home only to find no chicken nuggets meals in the bags even tho they were paid for 😡Again kids were be so disappointed and not for the first time 🤬 every time we use the drive though items are missing and someone has to go without The food we do get in the bags is stone cold to top it all off This is happening on a regular basis We only went this time for the Minecraft meals for kids Never ever will we go back It seems no one is capable of putting orders together but they are incredibly capable of taking the money Get it sorted Macdonalds it’s been going on for years and you truly do not deserve a customer 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Ordered food at 17:45 on just eat made us wait 2hrs until they decided to cancel the order. It was meant to be a little treat for my 19month old and my fiancée. So now we've not been able to feed him on time or bath him the place is getting worse first it was cold food, then had missing items. And now they don't even want to deliver at all! The place needs to be either run by responsible adults and not kids or wants shutting down this applies to all mcdonalds restaurants as they're all the same!

I went into the store at 6:45 in the morning only for a cup of tea before work, there was 1 other person in the store and he was already sat eating. After close to 20 minutes waiting I had to shout for assistance as no staff anywhere to be seen, I told them to cancel the order I don’t want a refund and all he said was “ok” Unless you are there picking up an order for just eat they don’t want to know. Not been happy with the service for a while but 20 minutes for a cup of tea that I never got absolutely takes the you know what.

I went to this McDonald’s today and placed an order through the drive through, we waited at the window for a while and then the person serving walked straight away without giving us chance to check. After driving away and checking I realised that my order was missing two items so had to go inside to get them. There was nobody on the counter and already some other people waiting so had to shout for someone to come. She was then very rude and asked what was missing and then went to get it and then slammed it on the counter and just walked away without saying anything or apologising for there being missing items. This isn’t the first time this has happened this McDonald’s always misses items from orders

I’ve had two bad experiences with this specific McDonald’s restaurant. I ordered a lot of food to be delivered. After a long wait I received 1 small Cola. That’s it. Nothing else. Common sense should jump in here. Another time, a couple of years ago, a member of staff I assumed was a manager, was being really rude to one of the delivery guys. He didn’t speak very good English but you could tell what he was saying. She was making out she couldn’t understand him. He was telling her something about an order he was picking up to take. She was leaning over to him and screaming in his face. When he left, she said something to another member of staff about him being stupid. Everyone was in disbelief. I wish I’d said something to her. It still irritates me to this day.

Genuinely got to be the worst maccies in the UK. Cold and dry no matter if you order in store or through delivery. Never ever give you sauces that you pay for. Can not stress how bad this Maccies is. Would rather pay £10 for somebody to punch my jaw off clean. 100x over. That’s right. I would rather spend £1000 on somebody knocking me out consistently 100 times, than simply going through thr gruel of asking for some warm food from an ACTUAL food restaurant. Don’t expect much from ordering a maccies. But warm and edible is minimum. Stairfoot maccies though. My goodness. Would have to pay me 100 food to eat from there again.

Long waiting times. Last time I was stuck waiting for happy meal for 20 mins. I’ve ordered shake today which I was waiting for 15 mins in a queue. Then ordered big tasty separately and 10 mins after having it done (approx 7 mins waiting time which is fine) I’ve opened it and it was cold. You need to work on few bits coz that’s not something I’d expect from well known restaurant chain. I go to McDonald’s to get tasty food quicker than 20 mins for simple not complicated meals.

If I didn't have grandkids you would not find me here if I could help it. I find the McDonald's idea yuk. Queue up. Pay. Wait for food. Try to find table . Eat a warm meal and the clear your own table. Might as well eat at home. Better food too. Mind you they are very popular for others. Daily chicken wraps are good value Been in again with the grandkids. Dirty tables. Spilt sauce on floor. Paper everywhere. Slow orders. No ice cream.

Stood there early in morning with 4 drinks in my hand like an idiot it’s absolutely slack. Gets home no contact number for uber rang mcdonald’s app spoke to a woman, refund issued of £8. Rang again different woman said email is wrong and on her end it’s £19? £19? 3rd times it’s happened absolutely disgusting. Turned around to her and said so it’s £11 for 4 small drinks i don’t think so. She said only can do a partial refund, ended phone.

I came here this weekend with a friend. When ordering, my friend advised our server of her allergy. The server's response was a hesitant "Ok" that didn't reassure us that it had been understood properly or that necessary safety measures would be taken. Another server appeared and the two discussed this between themselves and came back to us to say "We use the same equipment". We reiterated that clean hands and clean equipment (between touching allergens and our order) was required. They said they could put it (not clear what) through the dishwasher. A third server appeared to say "We can't guarantee anything," which is corporate for "You have to opt in to the risk and accept responsibility for your own safety because we can't be bothered." I said, "But you *can* guarantee that you follow safety measures? That's all we need." They said yes but were clearly reluctant and left us feeling unwelcome and like we had to worry about whether they would handle our order safely because they didn't seem to grasp what was required. My friend asked that our food order be brought to the table so she didn't have to return to the counter when this was called out as usual - she uses a manual wheelchair; none of the counters were wheelchair-accessible and she needs her hands free to move so couldn't fetch the food and wheel back to our table. The server agreed but then called out the order as usual when it was ready. This took a few minutes and then the servers obviously caught up with each other and one of them brought the food over. I don't think any equipment got put through the dishwasher between our order and the one before. This server arrived with everything in takeaway wrapping even though we'd paid to eat in, saying, "Here's your allergy one," about my friend's sandwich, and then saying what was in the name of my sandwich normally. This whole approach from start to finish was so othering and discriminatory and the same attitude is adopted towards my friend in almost every hospitality setting. It needs to be understood that this is not pleasant, not good customer service and not even in line with the Equality Act. This could be improved by: 1. All staff understanding the actual causes and impacts of allergen contaminants and necessary safety measures. 2. Being compassionate and responding to people as human beings, not arguments to win. We went here because we needed to eat, but we spent our whole time there fighting for the right to be served. Hospitality really shouldn't be this hostile.

Worst experience ever. First of all met a very rude lady at the till. We placed dine in order, and when we went to the place. Kept waiting at the till for long and no body bothered to cater. Although it was not busy at all at around 09:15pm but the lady at till completely ignored us. When we asked for the food she rudely handed over food with all food boxes open, cold food , no tray, uncovered, no forks, no hand towel. When asked for hand towels she completely ignored. Right after eating the food I had a huge vomit. I ordered fish burger and cheese burger. Definitely it was not fresh. I really hope the management does some workshops to train till staff how to deal with customers and I hope the food is fresh next time as it used to be in the past.
