There are instances where the cleanliness of the McDonald's restaurant was just unacceptable. I read about a McDonald's where the tables were all sticky and the floors were dirty. It made the dining experience really unpleasant. In addition, there have been horror stories about the supply of certain popular items running out. For example, during a promotional period for a new burger, they ran out of the main ingredient in the middle of the day, leaving many customers disappointed.
Well, I heard of a situation where the drive - through at a McDonald's was so chaotic. The orders were constantly getting mixed up. People were waiting for a long time, and when they finally got their food, it was cold. Also, there are stories about rude staff. There was this one time when a customer asked for a special request regarding their meal, and the employee just snapped at them instead of being polite.
One horror story could be about really slow service. For example, I once went to a McDonald's where it took almost 30 minutes to get a simple meal. There were only a few customers, but the staff seemed disorganized. Another could be finding a foreign object in the food. A friend of mine once found a piece of plastic in his burger. It was really disgusting and made him lose his appetite completely.
A common horror story is getting the wrong order. You order a Big Mac with no pickles and get one full of pickles. It's frustrating because you've clearly stated your preference. Another is the long lines. Sometimes you can be in line for ages, especially during peak hours like lunchtime or dinner time on weekends.
One horror story could be about finding a foreign object in the food. For example, someone might have discovered a piece of plastic in their burger. Another could be really bad service, like being ignored for a long time at the drive - thru. And there might be stories of getting food poisoning from McDonald's food, perhaps due to improper handling or storage in some rare cases.

There are stories where a McDonald's franchise location had issues with supply chain disruptions. For example, they constantly received the wrong food items or not enough of the popular ones. This led to customer dissatisfaction as they couldn't get what they wanted. And the franchisee had a hard time getting the corporate to sort out the supply issues effectively. It was a nightmare for them trying to keep the customers happy while dealing with these problems.
A common horror story among McDonald's employees is understaffing. When there are not enough workers, one person has to do the job of two or three. So, an employee could be running between the cash register, the drive - through, and the kitchen all at once. There are also stories of employees getting injured because of the fast - paced and sometimes dangerous work environment, like slipping on a wet floor in the kitchen while carrying hot food or drinks.
Well, there was this time when the kitchen equipment kept breaking down during a really busy shift. Burgers were half - cooked, fries were under - fried, and we had a long line of angry customers. It was a nightmare trying to fix things while also serving people.
One horror story I heard was about a customer who found a strange object in their burger. It looked like some sort of alien - like thing. It really freaked them out and they immediately complained to the manager. But the manager seemed to be in denial at first, which made the situation even scarier for the customer.
Well, there might be a story where a store had really bad customer service. A customer was trying to return a defective product. The staff was rude and unhelpful, kept denying the return even though it was clearly under the return policy. This made the customer feel frustrated and cheated.
Well, there was this time when I worked in retail during the holidays. The store was so understaffed. We had to deal with angry customers all day long. There were also issues with the inventory system. It showed items were in stock but actually they weren't. This led to a lot of disappointed customers and a really chaotic shopping environment.
A common retail customer horror story is related to sizing. A customer ordered a pair of shoes in their regular size from an online retailer. When the shoes arrived, they were two sizes too small. The return process was a nightmare. The website's return instructions were confusing, and when the customer finally managed to send the shoes back, they were charged a restocking fee even though it was clearly the retailer's fault for the incorrect sizing. Another story is about a customer who was in a physical store trying to return an unopened item. The store manager made up all sorts of rules on the spot to deny the return, even though the item was within the return policy period.
