We’re definitely doing this from now on!
Treating yourself to a Happy Meal or a large Big Mac menu and extra chicken nuggets just has to happen every once in a while. While you’re taking that first heavenly bite, you come to the conclusion that your fries are kind of stale. Luckily, there’s a way to avoid this disappointment in the future; a former McDonald’s employee reveals the way to always get a fresh meal.
The trick
Kamran Adan worked at a McDonald’s in London for about a year, so he knows all there is to know about the fast food giant. One of the things he picked up along the way is knowing exactly how and when to get the best possible meal as a customer. Lucky for us, he shared his tips on online forum Quora.
Perfect time
If you feel like getting some McDonald’s grub, the best times to go are between 12 and 2 pm and between 5 and 7 pm. Why? Because these are the times most mystery shoppers are active. Mystery shoppers test how customer-friendly the employees are, and these employees want nothing more than impress these shoppers. Their jobs are on the line, after all. The result? The employees are extra friendly, alert and quick.
Receipt
Pretty much no one asks for the receipt, but it’s high time you start doing so. Mystery shoppers always ask for the receipt, because that way they can charge their expenses to their bosses. When someone asks for the receipt, McDonald’s employees immediately take into account the possibility that they might be dealing with a mystery shopper. That’s why they’ll always provide you with fresh fries and help you as quickly as possible!
