Sounds like your complaint was too complicated for her math ability, and her way of coping was just to treat you like some kind of chiseler.I'm sure if someone at McD HQ actually listens to your complaint, they will respond nicely. What they will really be thinking, of course, is "If we insisted on managers who understand basic arithmetic, we'd have to pay them more, and then we'd have to raise prices, and then we'd lose market share, so that's obviously not a winning solution." |

I think that they have a phone number posted for complaints somewhere in the stores. Were I inclined to make a big deal about 50 cents, which I'm not, I would have called it to complain. |

He has a right to complain to McDonalds, even if was over a dime because the menu price is what anyone should pay.That 'manager' sounds like a crazy person! |

Sure he does and I have a right to not complain if I don't want. I would mention it, but I don't need to stress over 50 cents. I have enough to worry about already. You can see that it stressed him to the point that he posted it here. |

By all means, complain to McDonald`s corporate, they will apologize as well as send you coupons for free food. It`s the only way for them to know. |

I don't even think about McDonald's since they refuse (or make you wait forever) to make a burger to order. I don't like a burger junked up with ketchup and mustard, just lettuce and pickles.If I happen to stop in one, I get Chicken McNuggets, since they can't screw up or overload it. |

The problem with BK was that even before the trans-fat ban I absolutely HATED the taste of BK fries, although I preferred the taste of the Double whopper over the Double Quarter Pounder.Even though it cost more when I had time I would go through the McDonalds drive-thru for the Fries and then go to BK for the burger. Ever since the trans-fat ban both McD's fries and BK fries are so horrible that I would not even feed them to a dog! |

I have kids which means that I pretty much have to go to McDonalds whenever I get fast food. The only redeeming thing about McDonalds is their fries which are better than everywhere else ('cept maybe Tommy's chili cheese fries). Now you don't even have that. Plus you don't have good fast food choices in general with no Jacks, no Carls, no In-n-out, etc. |

Listen, anytime you have a serious beef, you don't call those complaint hotlines because more often than not that complaint is totally disregarded. But if you write a letter directly to the president of the company, you'll see corrective action nearly every time.In this case one wouldn't complain about the 50 cents, but one should definitely complain about the contempt that the employee showed the customer. |

I say he should write a letter to as many publications, blogs, etc that he can as tell that what he told us. I'm sure that his experience can be corroborated by others who went through the same thing.Companies like McDonald's need to be publicly shamed. |

The only time I eat at White Castle is when I need something to clean out my insides. IMO the sliders are good. But a little high priced considering the size. Sizzler is a good sitdown restaurant. Their salad bar alone is a meal. One place I miss is Tad's steaks. Good hamburger steak. Very inexpesive. |

I don't consider cafeterias fast food, and even with the Automat H & H was basically a cafeteria. Besides Horn & Hardart the other cafeterias I liked was Dubrows on Kings Hway under the Brighton Station, the Bellmore Cafeteria on Park Av S. & 28 Street, and the Jerome Cafeteria on River Av opposite Yankee Stadium. |

Don't be so sure about their Chicken McNuggets.They can be screwed up if they want to. I once stopped off at a hot dog stand at B'way/Junction. The type of place where their soft serve ice cream wasn't cold. I bought a cup of tea. How could they F up a cup of tea? F'ed up water! |

Locally in NYC the worst burger was at Yankee Burger.Their main or only store was at 21 Street and Astoria Blvd. IIRC you buy a burger and there was a good chance something was on it that wasn't ketchup or pickles. |
