Its a competition...

chance to win 1 of 150

Ironically this type of forum is driving needless consumer demand and clogging up logistic chains which could be utilised by food and medicine. Perhaps that is where our moral compasses should be pointing rather than trying to re elect a Corbynista government.

Perfect time if you ask me - when stuff like this really matters and everyone is thinking about it.

Armchair socialism. Not a time for playing politics.

You know what? I wrote a whole long piece here and even posted it at first but then I thought 'Life's too short' so I've deleted it. You think what you like - it's all good. I'm trying to 'be kind' so stay safe and good luck in these troubling times.

Self serving moan rather than morality then, right? What you want is for Jeff Bezos to pay more Tax here, but the people in the Chinese factories to keep making stuff for you for a pittance? Amazon, Apple, etc to pay their "fair share" here, but BP et al to keep ripping off other nations by bribing tin pot dictators so they can pillage other counties natural resources? I may not agree that socialism bordering on communism is viable in practice, but I can respect people that put forward a real moral argument about the inequitable distribution of wealth on the planet. But those that have a moan when in reality they're the net winners by any objective measure, well they need to have a look at themselves. If you think Nurses aren't paid enough you could buy less material tat you find here and donate it to some nurses. But I'm guessing you wont be doing that. It's always other peoples money that needs to be redistributed, right?

No, I'd forgotten all about it

Has anyone else received this?

40+

Thanks. 10 books (confused) Must be for Scouse footy fans children.

Ordered 8 as it was the only number it would let me select.....just happens there are 8 kids in his team

What about people with learning difficulties?

And factory workers are highly paid?

Yes...you realise councils employ social workers who look after vulnerable people like children and the elderly...

What about stunt men.? No freebies.

I'll have to have z muffin for breakfast and a quarter pounder for tea. I'll have to ask if they want to sell me some stuff cheap as there be shut for ages.

Gloves or utensils preferred.

I got asked for the voucher for this so be careful

These offers work out better for some folk. Save image to your phone. Exactly the same apart from all the bits that are different.

The very paper that has these vouchers inside every week also had this article some time ago (lol) https://metro.co.uk/2018/11/28/poo-found-on-every-mcdonalds-touchscreen-tested-8178486/

Big Mac is pretty damn expensive compared to something like double cheeseburger so decent price, even if I don't eat it.

I just ordered a till roll for the receipts you get when you top up your oyster. Now i have 5000 spare vouchers. Wasn't worth the £4 to get it.

I use the codes every time I go in. 236457... then the extra two digits. I get three £1.99 meals per transaction, plus other bits for my family (all five of us eat for £10 odd). I always have my three receipts with the 5 digit codes but they rarely ask for them. I always get table service, and whoever brings the food clearly couldn’t care less about the receipts.

Got asksd for a voucher at letchworth.. Bummer

Yes I’ve been using my old newspaper clippings of Katie price I found in my hamster tray

They started asking for the voucher much more these days, you used to be able to them picture on phone but now they complain if you try. So I started giving them the receipt, they just take it and scrumple it up in the bin. I always get quarter pounder.

Had someone come into local McDonald's convinced every store was giving these out. She used the Sun as evidence. The sauce isn't the same as that in the tubes, btw. And the tubes don't have ingredients on the side so, waste of time

4 tbsp mayonnaise 2 tsp American mustard 2 tsp tomato ketchup 1 tsp chopped gherkin Pinch of salt Job done.

No problem (y)

Sorry to have made you suffer :D

Just worked in York Clifton Moor, thanks

Worked today Birmingham Temple Row :)

nice will.have to try again in a different mcds (y)

We can add Belgrove House Maccies in Kings Cross, London as working with the breakfast deal, at least! Cheers.

Worked this morning in Kings Cross McDs - cheers.

stopped using the app when it started to try and force me to purchase using the app.I rather they dont have my card details. Noticed these vouchers are in Metro almost every other day

They’ve started cracking down on using these codes if you don’t have the voucher. I’ve used a screenshot plenty times when asked, but last time a white shirt jobsworth gave me hassle but still let me have it. Never been asked for voucher when getting table service yet as you usually get a junior who doesn’t care. Never tried using these codes in combination with an old receipt yet, but gonna start keeping one in my pocket.

One of my local McDonald's is in a food court that has no self service machines as well and they don't do receipts so survey can't be used there. Safe to say the voucher is definitely needed at that McDonald's. They don't support app ordering either

So how are the app deals better than the vouchers in the paper? I can get a choice of burger and fries for £1.99 any time with a voucher, the app deal was the same price and only available for a limited time and only at restaurants which have mobile ordering (not all do)

Yes I have had this experience too. Think it depends on the staff. I always order on the screen. When you pick up the order sometimes they ask and sometimes they don't. I usually have a metro coupon on me but one time I didn't I was charged the full price. They only accept the physical voucher, not screenshots etc

American at heart (y) Dollar Bakery is in one of my local shopping malls ;)

Why ? Are you American ? And where is pound bakery

I'm all for American terms, I always use them over UK ones (y)

In UK not USA

Dollar Bakery (or "pound bakery" as people seem to call it (cheeky) ) - sandwich, potato chips and a soda or water for $2 (y)

Come on KFC give some deals too.

McDonald's seem to put their adverts all over to get their custom back for this year.

Is the voucher also available in the online version/Appof the Metro? I don't read newspapers :-)

New Years Resolutions

fries*

Thanks. Might try that, although 23645745 is the code from a voucher not a receipt, so I'd have thought it would be fairly obvious to the server that it didn't tie up. Sounds like it's worked for you though (y)

I know right! I didn't complain however though as I knew I was telling a bare faced lie about binning it

Where’s your imagination even if you’re a Hindu you could indulge

There’s no specific numbers you just need 5 numbers

Wow ! At least you got refunded I just can’t believe they would bother to go to all that trouble ? Now they would have thrown the food away and made a loss

Yeah, and it still needs work. (flirt)

Depends how disciplined you are. I'm not going to turn down free food even if it is McDonald's. It does not mean that I'll be returning after the promotion has ended.

Dylan_Smith135: Don’t you think I might have tried that I find the app unreliable too. I have had it fail in 3 different branches now and the 'I'm already here' button serves no purpose as the staff never know what to do with the long code it generates. However, the biggest issue for me is the way the staff treat you when the app doesn't work. Yesterday, in a branch in where it usually works, the app displayed a message like "our bad, there's a problem with our system so show this code at the counter", which was just 4 characters long this time. When I showed the staff the code they were so rude, with one server even trying to unsuccessfully cancel the order on my phone and pretend it had never gone through (it was clearly already showing 'pick up') (mad) They kept demanding to see the order number, which was completely idiotic as if the order number was showing, the app wouldn't have been instructing me to show them the 4-character code. Eventually they called out an order number that no one claimed and I realised it was my order, so it had gone in to their system, but they continued to waste my time because they didn't want to admit they were wrong and that the order did exist. Not only will I not be bothering with the free fries today, but after all that hassle, and the facts that most of their food gets served cold and the poor quality straws ruin the taste of the drinks, I'm just going to avoid McDonald's. I was only going there for an infrequent treat beforehand, but I suppose my health will still benefit in the long run.

Still not recyclable today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-49234054

This was McDonald’s Response Hi , thank you for your feedback. In partnership with our suppliers we have created a paper straw which meets all performance standards while also reducing our environmental impact. I’m sorry to hear you are not a fan. As the industry evolves, we will too.

Insider trading is iligal though... (lol)

The comments for these McDonald's deals are hilarious. One person gives a friendly heads up and everyone else turns super narc like it's an uprising and the op be offered up for the quarter quell, hunger games style.

Be a surprise 2moro. Just hope I don't check in the afternoon to find it was a breakfast deal

They've left it late to announce this time, I'm gagging to know

Agreed should be £1 regularly Saver menu offers better than a bacon roll at whatever price they charge £1 would be fair its not even an amazing deal considering a cheese burger costs more to make than a bacon roll

"Bacon roll with no bacon" why would you take bacon off you monster Nothing but Alcatraz for people like you

Bread roll

I can’t believe it would cost £4.29 to make this bacon roll into a meal, it was very lightweight compared to a double sausage and egg McMuffin meal which costs...£4.29! How they manage to flog any of these bacon rolls at full price is a mystery when Greggs do the exact same for £2.25 with a coffee!

Had it this morning it was ok if i paid the £3 my local McDonalds charge i would be very disappointed

However, vegetarians cannot eat meat. Meat eaters can eat vegetarian food. There's offers every day until the 26th anyway so you're not going to miss out on much

Which is fine, but whenever they've had meat on offer they've had a veggie alternative. Today its all veggie with no meat alternative.

Ok, the veggie dippers are spicy but not too spicy. They taste almost identical to Heinz vegetable soup. Okay for 99p, won't be having them again

Definitely going to get the veggie dippers for 99p (y)

Fair enough. I'm not a vegetarian however I'm trying more vegan and vegetarian substitutes as it's something I'm seriously considering. I wouldn't choose McDonald's for a vegetarian meal by myself if I was to go vegetarian, however if for example I was with my friends and they all wanted McDonald's, I'd just get it for that occasion From what I've tried of McDonald's vegetarian food I don't really recommend it either, I'm yet to try the new vegan dippers meal though

Couple days.

How long did it take to be added? I still don’t have it

I actually bought the crispy chicken for a colleague using the offer he said it was too spicy, I wasn’t aware it had jalapeno inside it as there was no mention of it being spicy!

This is the reason I didn't get a notification for this deal today then. A wrap deal was one I was waiting for :( Sola35 was right all along 8)

Email

Had the veggie deluxe today . I finished it but it was bloody awful

Ever considered eating carrots? A lot more tasty than this McDonalds muck, and cheaper too ;)

The quorn was good actually, shame it stopped. I agree with you about some of the meat replacement burgers. I would be happy with something that looked like veg if it tasted good bit this one doesn't.

Cheers Andy :)

Tokenism? What is wrong with you?
