Did this today
As long as you have a receipt for ANY item you can do this
So if there's a receipt left in a table etc
We won an apple pie on the monopoly thing and again got a receipt for it even tho zero spend
Great whilst the kids are off school
We're loving it lol
And a lot of Calcium and Iron in it
Sounds good to me. I never seem to get lucky with the Metro and the free coupons (yet somehow my parter seems to find them in every copy she picks up).
I do like a big mac and fries from time to time, so can't complain about saving a couple of quid, that's an extra beer or two in the evening.
The OP, yesterday:

What fresh hell is this.
McDonald's is ok every now and then…. Too easy to knock, but, serves a purpose for lazy families like mine every now and then (once or twice a month?)
Have done the same OP…. I get an (amazingly good) coffee on my journey into work most days and did it because of the staff that serve me…. I know if I mention them by name (on the survey) hey get a little bonus…. For 2 mins, it's with the effort

Coffee is always good at McD

Free food.
It's amazing how free shit can mess with peoples minds. I watched 100 people queue for hours just for a free burger in the smelly summer heat of tooting high st, the kind of people who earn many times more per hr than the cost of the burger. Why would you do that? Because it's free! (Why not give those free burgers to people who really need it?)
This was Honest burgers which I have eaten on the odd occasion but McDonald's is tasteless pap sold in very grim surroundings, I wouldn't eat that crap if they paid me.
The frisson of excitement at getting something for free fades far quicker than the bitter taste of regret at eating shite food.
I cringe when I see kids with their parents eating this stuff in cars . Worse still adults are making excuses to eat this rubbish .
Even worse still I wouldn't be paid to eat it .
More importantly my Cat won't eat it .
Blimey someone mentions McDondlds and it really brings out the supercilious tofu muncher in people… far too easy to be a huge snob about it
I have pretty refined tastes and my family and. I have a balanced healthy diet cooking from fresh preeety much every day
Saturday afternoon in town…. 5 people fed for under £20 quickly - it's fine occasionally and I quite enjoy my Big Mac (there I've said it)
I haven't been in years, when they did that chicken breast thing in the fancy bun (never a burger fan to be honest), but the older i get (40 now), the less i can stomach a McD's, last one i had about 3 years ago was a bit too salty and left an aftertaste that was there for hours, it was nice at the time, and i guess they've cut the salt/sugar, but it does seem to be a place you need to eat at regularly to enjoy the most.
I'm a classically trained chef. I love a big Mac or double cheeseburger burger every now and then. I couldn't care about the quality, i enjoy it. You are absolutely right about people becoming huge snobs when it comes to McDonald's,yet I'm pretty sure they have their own guilty pleasures.
I must admit, I also like McDonald's at times. Clearly not health food, but tasty, quick and reasonably priced. You often get coupons in the Metro for 1.99 or 2.99 meals.
Hack?! Clearly a Daily Mail reader.
That said, a good tip. I usually tear out the £1.99 coupon from the Metro so that I have a cheap safety burger on a Friday night if getting on the lash in town. This is a good alternative when the coupons aren't published.
Have you read the book "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser? great book - well worth a read.
It starts off with the history and "evolution" of the fast food industry in USA, followed by the history and current state of the meat processing industry......... by the end of the book I swore I wouldn't eat another MacD/BK/Wendys etc (not that I ate more than 1-2 a year).
I agree about the coffee, not bad for the money and I prefer it to costa, Starbucks etc, I stop most mornings at a dive through on the A1 and my usual server Chelsea is very smiley and chatty and a great start to my day. 😀
Cheers..

Yet you decided to apply the OP's actions to myself. And if you don't want people to think you;re talking about them, best not to quote them, tends to indicate that the post is directed at the author of the quote.
Who really cares though. Your posts clearly seem to suggest you are one of the folk Wolfie is alluding to.
Lifting vouchers is for amateurs, the real winning life hack at MacDonalds is minesweeping. There are enough people too lazy to take their trays to the rubbish bins when they are sated - often having eaten only half the fries or drunk half the coke - to make this a most rewarding money-saving operation. I'd especially recommend keeping an eye out for Happy Meals; most kids only want the 'free' toy, so there is often a feast in nuggets and McFlurries there for the taking!
Forgot to mention - napkins are free and available without restriction, fill your pockets each time you visit and you'll never need to buy toilet paper again.
Blimey
Just revisited my thread
What's going on?
£1-99 for Big Mac and fries turns into this?
I don't eat there often maybe grab something if on the road
However I know some with kids and teens are nagged for a fiver most weekends for a Mac Donald's Di thought it worth posting
The coffee seems fine to me
Lol
Just thinking do you even have to do a survey? How do they process a hand written code at point of sale? Or do they have to input the no. into the till? (Guess they must do)
One good thing about Mc Donald's and the only thing I go for is their frozen Strawberry lemonade.
They input the number into the till.
Been McDonalds free for 18 years, would rather chow down on my own shit than eat that even if free.
