in Chit-Chat
I went through the drive thru and got my usual (#2 with coffee). I was already a few miles away and on the freeway when I realized that they forgot to include the hash browns. My breakfast was pretty much ruined. What should I do now? Do I have any recourse?

    It's a little out of the way. McD's is right by the freeway entrance. Besides, I like McD's better for breakfast, and BK better for burgers.

    Great, now I'm hungry again.

    You should write a strongly worded letter to McDonalds. That's totally unacceptable.

    Perhaps a letter-writing campaign? Who's with me?

    Check your bag BEFORE you get on the freeway....and BEFORE you even pull away from the window.

    Yes, I think that is the lesson learned here.

    Consider it a good thing.

    Those things are moreish. You'd just be craving more if you ate it.

    I'd write them a thank you letter for saving you 160 calories, 10g of fat and 360mg of sodium

    keep some of the frozen ones at work so you can make one if they mess up again. I totally want hashbrowns now.

    Maybe a class action lawsuit? I'm sure you can google and find other victims of Mcdonald's cruel hashbrown-witholding practices. Power in numbers!

    They ripped me off of 160 calories, 10g fat, and 360mg of sodium and I should THANK them for this? It's been hard enough lately hitting my sodium target. :noway:

    Holy Zarquon, Zaphod - next time, just take your chances with the Infinite Improbability Drive... and if that doesn't work, just shrug yoru shoulders and imagine them being yelled at by their manager - then it becomes an SEP (Somebody Else's Problem.)

    As long as you know where your towel is, it's all good.

    Stay hoopy, my friend.

    I just wouldn't eat there anymore.

    Seriously.

    I trip out that grown ups eat fast food.

    Gross.

    Just go back with what they gave you and as soon as they open their window to take your order throw it at them. This should help calm any angry feelings you may have.

    I wrote mcdonalds a letter when they forgot fries in my happy meal. They didn't even offer me an apology. They basically just said "that sucks". Bummer about the hashbrowns!

    All stores have different policies. But if you call and let them know, they will either a)put your name in "the book", and the next time you're in they will give you what they missed or B) will take your name and address and send you coupons.
