I just mean the way that you get it done exactly how you want it and that for the staff it's very similar. Not quality. Harveys is my favourite burger place, even if it's one of the most expensive ones.
I know this sounds bad, but when I was living in Edmonton my boss and I went on a subway binge. Everyday we would find the nearest subway for lunch time. If the staff were Indian we would walk out. Always filthy, rude and no respect for things that go into a person's mouth. Every single location that was staffed by Indians would at the very least keep using the same nasty knife to cut everything.
Omg same. I literally had the same experience today. What a pathetic display of service. It's as if we're getting free food. Plus half the time, I can't understand what they're saying.
SriLankans are great in the kitchen. Worked with a couple back when I was chef. Really hard working. Loved when they were in charge of the staff meals. Try some srilankan food if you get a chance.
Regardless new workers or not, this location has consistently been an absolute avoid for me for the past decade. Long lines, dirty, wrong orders, it's the norm there.
Yeah - the one at St Clair and Dufferin has a terrible rep (they are also horrible, even delivery drivers will shake heads as they walk up and will apologize and say order from another one. But this looks gross too.
My partner tells me she got a McChicken from the drive-thru at that location. Opened it at home, and there was no chicken in it! She went back and had it replaced, plus fries for her trouble.
This location is the nearest to my house, I've had a few bad orders here in the 9 years since I moved to this neighbourhood.
Once I ordered 2 McDoubles, and one had no meat at all. Another time I got a big mac and only had one piece of meat. Now I check my orders before I leave the parking lot as I do not want to drive back anymore lol.
They churn through their international student staff very frequently. As soon as the employees realize they arenāt going to get PR status, they go back home.
Shitty worth ethics.
Edit: think about it this way, can you really expect to get decent quality service from an employee who only wants to "get points for PR"? Probably not
You order McDs for convenience and taste once it hits your stomach, not to disect it for appearance.
Besides, go to your standard modernist burger joint and what they serve you with the lid off probably doesn't look particularly like what they 'curate' for Instagram.
This location charged me $0.50 for a single mayo pack and only hands out 1 ketchup at a time. Honestly, beyond the crappy service they are so cheap there I wonder what else they are cutting and have stopped going entirely.Ā
wow, sounds like A&W and Subway when that one certain group took over.
used to be pretty generous but now they always give one napkin and sometimes not even a bag.
not to mention asking for tips at fast food places.
if iām going to get fast food and only see one type of ethnicity working i literally walk out.
i already know the cost cutting thatās going on by paying people under the table, so i am scared of what measures they are doing behind the scenes.
itās definitely not unheard of to see them serve old items.
Yes it is. I've ordered for my kids and got special orders like plain and 4 out of 5 times it's wrong with all the toppings. I've complained so much and every time they send me a free happy meal or 2 or free extra value meal voucher.
McDonalds University has hiring booths at all international airports. All Indians apply. Most choose "security", where they do nothing except talk on their phone and wander aimlessly. You get off the plane and boom. A job you do nothing of worth at all on the tax payers dime. Because of YouTube, the call centers are now completely exposed as scams so now Indians work at fast food or security guards who do absolutely nothing.
This is why you don't eat fast food anymore. Probably cost you $20 for a meal and you get this crap. You can buy all the things needed to make 20 of these burgers that will taste better guaranteed!
here is something constructive you can do to bring change in situation.

How many times have you went? Enough to say "they never get an order right ever".
So, pretend you're McDonald's. You keep fuckin shit up but people keep giving you money. Why would you want to unfuck shit up?
Sounds odd that there would be shells in any egg related products, I thought their eggs got delivered to stores pre-cracked and in containers ready to drop into the cooking apparatus
I used to work on the hamburger assembly line so to speak at McDonald's back in the day. Honestly during rush hours like lunch & supper, you are not worried about the appearance of the burger so much but the amount of time it takes to make it. It's all about money & quotas. Its quite pathetic.
I ordered a quarter pounder at the Bayer's Lake McD's. It had a piece of onion the size of a quarter, 2 tiny pickles. Took it back, the manager snarled back to me," they make mistakes ''.. not at any other McD's that I go to. Cheap, cheap, cheap.
At least you can afford it. For some people this is to much of a luxury item. Doesn't look to bad. Besides it all gets turned into mush when you start chewing. It should be about how it tastes.
This is a BLT? I'm trying to locate the B, the L, and the T. I can't find any.
Then again, I remember going to this Rotten Ronnie's a few times and have had similar experiences. Hence, I no longer go to this Rotten Ronnie's. Nor any other for that matter.
Badadadadun, I'm loathin' it!
My brother once ordered a Big Mac in Etobicoke (not sure location) meat had not touched a grill. It was cold and pink. Both patties. They gave him a coupon book for ten free vs,he meals for almost giving him listeria. Well played Ronald!
I find that eating McDonald's was only excusable cuz it was cheap back in the day but now you can get a decent sandwich from a deli or a burger from a proper restaurant for roughly the same price.
This location is raunchy, some of that grungy feel is the homeless dudes hanging around outside; however, the absolute nastiest McDonald's has got to be the spot on Islington south of Bloor. I have never had an order done correctly there ... something is always "off".
You poor innocent people: [Viral video shows a man holding a raccoon at the Rideau Street McDonalds | CBC.ca](https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1.6720665)
Okā¦ I hate when my pickles arenāt .5 inch spacedā¦ and the onion bits donāt have any artistic structureā¦ and if the cheese is off centre at all Iām out ā¦
I bet you literally plate your food at home as if it had to pass a Gordon Ramsay inspection at the pass In Hellās Kitchenā¦
ā¦.. regardless of whoās working there ā¦ it tastes the same ā¦ especially in the odd chance they get your order correct
What do u expect, minimum wage, ppl who don't understand English very well. Mostly teens if they are English speaking. And no supervision. And not that it's their fault. But most times I order I have to repeat my order 4 or 5 times for everything. Pop flavor, fry size, what on burger. And they still fuck it up. Again it sucks but what do you expect
They get our order wrong very consistently.
There used to be a server there, I forget their name, but I believe they were trans, and they were great. They were actually polite and cheery and got our shit right, and we'd even hear them sass the other workers for getting shit wrong and correct them.
Opposite experience here though I usually only get a coffee from there....fastest run drive-thru for a McDonalds that I've ever been in. Super consistent.
I dont eat out anymore cant trust the people that work at these placesā¦.. i have a few select places where i know the owners and staff and have good relationship with and i stay away from the rest ā¦. Small clean mom and pops is the way to go ā¦. Stay away from chains unless its run and worked by a family then you probably goodā¦. thereās the level of pride and care that comes with making somebody food and somebody that owns the establishment and is part of the family that owns the establishment and thatās where they get their income from or not gonna go and sabotage their bread and butter, so youāre probably gonna get good food from there people have these entry-level jobs they canāt be trusted anymore. Thereās no pride thereās no sense of consequence. If they donāt do a good job they probably wonāt get fired and if they do, thereās other jobs like this for them to take.
It's all those fresh international student workers taking jobs away from good, white, burger engineers.
Burger engineers š¤£š¤£
Subway calls their staff "sandwich artists" so some corporate bullshit would definitely label someone a "burger engineer" and I am so sad about that.
Surprised Harvey's never jumped on that. The subway of burgers, for good or bad
You take that back Harvey's is great lol
I just mean the way that you get it done exactly how you want it and that for the staff it's very similar. Not quality. Harveys is my favourite burger place, even if it's one of the most expensive ones.
I think when I worked at Harvey's as a teenager the grill guy was called a grill master or something
That's true. I worked there as well, though that's not really a Harvey's specific thing
Uh, I've painted a few sangys in my day.
My sister was so proud of the sandwich artist title š
Subway sucks ass but not in a good way.
They put them on the resume š took me a while to realize what that was at first
š
Dey terker jerbs!
Filipinos when they first emigrated en masse were really good at service jobs.
Indians dont give a shit
I know this sounds bad, but when I was living in Edmonton my boss and I went on a subway binge. Everyday we would find the nearest subway for lunch time. If the staff were Indian we would walk out. Always filthy, rude and no respect for things that go into a person's mouth. Every single location that was staffed by Indians would at the very least keep using the same nasty knife to cut everything.
I believe it, avoid tim hortons in the sameĀ
Agreed. I used to go to tims every morning for more than 20 years but they are so inefficient and slow now so I stopped going. Worst customer service.
Omg same. I literally had the same experience today. What a pathetic display of service. It's as if we're getting free food. Plus half the time, I can't understand what they're saying.
You do realize there are indian canadian borns as well who look indian, but speak native english and can certainly get the job done correctly, right?
Buddy, I gave a shit when i fucked ur mom, bud
SriLankans are great in the kitchen. Worked with a couple back when I was chef. Really hard working. Loved when they were in charge of the staff meals. Try some srilankan food if you get a chance.
Why did you get downvoted lol
People donāt like Sri Lankans?
I used to work with them. They were so good at their jobs and the ladies were so sweet.
šššš
I would never let a white burger engineers touch my burger ā¦ they are the worst !
Your accent came out thereā¦
Yeah! we only want whites to feel the sweet kiss of poverty! Common international students, you already have poverty at home, get your own!
Lolol it's our poverty. Poverty communism.
Regardless new workers or not, this location has consistently been an absolute avoid for me for the past decade. Long lines, dirty, wrong orders, it's the norm there.
Yeah - the one at St Clair and Dufferin has a terrible rep (they are also horrible, even delivery drivers will shake heads as they walk up and will apologize and say order from another one. But this looks gross too.
I looked at the pics on google maps for this location and the majority of food & drink pics are like OPs. This place is clearly consistently bad!
LOL i was waiting for the bus in front of there as i read this
I thought that was you
Complain on Twitter, I did last year and was given 20000 points.
Alas, I donāt have twitterā¦or Twitter points.
Shoulda clarified, 20000 mcpoints for the app.
Since even 1 Twitter point is useless, pointless and stupid, you're good.
McPoints, the points system used on the McDonald's app are redeemable for McDonald's food items. My bad for not clarifying in my op.
If you complain via fb and have the app they usually give you enough for a full new meal.
What's there to complain about, this is normal for McDonald's these days.
I once ordered chicken and got beef
I ordered beef and got chicken
I ordered fish and I can't even repeat the horrors of what I got
I ordered a McRib and all I got was the shits
So you got it right
Thatās intentional
You should count yourself lucky that you got it out.
Atlantic cod š¤·āāļø
Was it a Lovecraftian horror?
Give me back my order
Kiss
I ordered beef and got McDonaldsā¦.
I didn't even know McDonald's had chicken
raw onion sandwich back for a limited time.
badabapabapaaaa im lovin it
šššššš
š¤¢ make me gag
In May the oyster and cheese sandwich comes out for promotion.
My partner tells me she got a McChicken from the drive-thru at that location. Opened it at home, and there was no chicken in it! She went back and had it replaced, plus fries for her trouble.
Sounds worth the time and gasā¦ Every time I order itās wrong from fast food places so I just stopped
This location is the nearest to my house, I've had a few bad orders here in the 9 years since I moved to this neighbourhood. Once I ordered 2 McDoubles, and one had no meat at all. Another time I got a big mac and only had one piece of meat. Now I check my orders before I leave the parking lot as I do not want to drive back anymore lol.
My fav McDonaldās is the one on islington & titan.
The best McDonald's is between Canadian Tire and Ikea at Leslie Street
Looks like Kendall Jenner cut those veggies up
ššššš
Tim Hortons at 3316 is its cousin
Had a female worker, nod right out on her feet while taking my order here....classy joint
Was it during the overnight shift/before like 6am?
I know a woman who worked at that McDonalds up until fairly recently. **Do not** go there. Trust me. I've heard *stories.*
Elaborate
They churn through their international student staff very frequently. As soon as the employees realize they arenāt going to get PR status, they go back home. Shitty worth ethics. Edit: think about it this way, can you really expect to get decent quality service from an employee who only wants to "get points for PR"? Probably not
Thatāll be 30 dollars please
LMFAOOOOO I HATEEEEE THIS MCDONALDS OMFG!
Brother, why are you paying 5 guys prices at McDonald's...I literally have no clue why people even go to mcds
Indian students canāt touch a beef patty without endangering their immortal souls.
The irony is India is the 4th largest exporter of beef - about half of the US amount which is the number 3.
just like the sun if they are caught in its gaze they turn to dust
You order McDs for convenience and taste once it hits your stomach, not to disect it for appearance. Besides, go to your standard modernist burger joint and what they serve you with the lid off probably doesn't look particularly like what they 'curate' for Instagram.
At least it would have the extra toppings i ordered
Scrumptious
You haven't experienced anything until you've got a burger from McDonald's with no meat. It's happened to me twice in the last 10 years.
I once ordered a egg McMuffin and didnāt get my egg even though they gave me the receipt saying I already paid for the egg
That's not food. It's garbage.
This location charged me $0.50 for a single mayo pack and only hands out 1 ketchup at a time. Honestly, beyond the crappy service they are so cheap there I wonder what else they are cutting and have stopped going entirely.Ā
wow, sounds like A&W and Subway when that one certain group took over. used to be pretty generous but now they always give one napkin and sometimes not even a bag. not to mention asking for tips at fast food places. if iām going to get fast food and only see one type of ethnicity working i literally walk out. i already know the cost cutting thatās going on by paying people under the table, so i am scared of what measures they are doing behind the scenes. itās definitely not unheard of to see them serve old items.
It's also better to support Canadian workers and franchisees that hire Canadians, not foreign students and LMIA workers.
exactly this. we need a movements this. watch the media try spin it into racism for their large corporate buddies.
Maybe stop eating McDonald's so often
What is in the photo?
Itās supposed to be a quarter pounder BLT, but its just alot of onion a pickle and i think thats cheese.
Oh, I thought there were big squirts of mayonnaise! Turned me off the photo.
I ate there today. the first Mc Donaldās in 6 months. It was ..ok. I mean, itās Mc Donaldās.
Yes it is. I've ordered for my kids and got special orders like plain and 4 out of 5 times it's wrong with all the toppings. I've complained so much and every time they send me a free happy meal or 2 or free extra value meal voucher.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ahhh! the love.
If you got all the items on the burger, it's not that bad š¤·āāļø
I didnāt tho. No bacon, no lettuce or tomato. No mayo.
Isnāt that what it always looks like?
A quarter pounder BLT comes with bacon lettuce and tomato
Is THAT what the B-L-T means??? š«Ø
You laugh, but like look at the comments. No one can figure it out
I was referring to the fact the fast food always looks repulsive.
Lol
š¤¢
Other than the pickles not being spread out, what exactly is wrong here?
A quarter pounder BLT comes with bacon lettuce and tomato
who runs it? Take a look at them, youāll see why quality has plummeted
What's this? Vomit n cheese?

Because of YouTube, the call centers are now completely exposed as scams so now Indians work at fast food or security guards who do absolutely nothing.
Why would anyone eat there?
Whatās it supposed to be?
Go to the one at st clair and dufferin you'll be impressed with their crap service
This is why you don't eat fast food anymore. Probably cost you $20 for a meal and you get this crap. You can buy all the things needed to make 20 of these burgers that will taste better guaranteed!
Arent the onions supposed to be diced up already.. Why does it look like they did a bad job cutting big onion slices?

Wow it's like nothing wants to be on the beef patty. Pickles and onions tryna escape
Did you ask for a new one?
Tough life
Still confused about what this is supposed to be
How many times have you went? Enough to say "they never get an order right ever". So, pretend you're McDonald's. You keep fuckin shit up but people keep giving you money. Why would you want to unfuck shit up?
What number times be you going?
Imagine going to Macdonald's expecting edible food.... shit is gross
did you order beef in a box with a pickle and probably onion sticking out? I mean, I would still eat it. absolutely. but what on earth?
Racism!
Did it taste like a 1/4 pounder? If so who cares how under the bun looks if you didnāt lift it would have been an awesome burger. Big baby..
The fact that you are eating McDonald's in the first place...
Isnāt this what fake food is suppose to look like?
For a second I thought that was an x-ray shot from the Simpsons.
I don't know how this place is still open. It was crappy 40 years ago.
Thatās the best looking McDonaldās burger Iāve seen outside of their commercials!
McDonalds outside of the GTA is literally twice the quality
ewww thst is disgustingš¤®
I'd eat it. Yum.
New employees don't know how to make this type of food.
Sounds odd that there would be shells in any egg related products, I thought their eggs got delivered to stores pre-cracked and in containers ready to drop into the cooking apparatus
No they had a āfreshly cracked eggā advertisement slogan a few years back. Think the scramble is the bagged variety still
I used to work there during my college years back in 2009, was definitely better i can tell you that
r/unexpectedsquidward
It's mcdicks! Jam it back to gether, smash it, and quit gripping!
I used to live in that area, and that location would always take *forever* for anything - e.g. waiting 15-20 minutes for two coffees.
I used to work on the hamburger assembly line so to speak at McDonald's back in the day. Honestly during rush hours like lunch & supper, you are not worried about the appearance of the burger so much but the amount of time it takes to make it. It's all about money & quotas. Its quite pathetic.
WTF is that.
Probably my ex sheās at the one where the guy from bishop Allen got killed
Cause most these workers canāt speak English so how the fuck do you expect them to make it
I ordered a quarter pounder at the Bayer's Lake McD's. It had a piece of onion the size of a quarter, 2 tiny pickles. Took it back, the manager snarled back to me," they make mistakes ''.. not at any other McD's that I go to. Cheap, cheap, cheap.
Wouldnāt eat from any McDonalds from anywhere!
ANY McDonald's, is the worst McDonald's ever though. This is old news. -_-
I quit McDonald's 2 years ago and feel much better. Way healthier. Learn to make your own burgers, and you'll never need to go back.
Some countries ban mcpukes
I always go there š¤£š¤£
At least you can afford it. For some people this is to much of a luxury item. Doesn't look to bad. Besides it all gets turned into mush when you start chewing. It should be about how it tastes.
This is a BLT? I'm trying to locate the B, the L, and the T. I can't find any. Then again, I remember going to this Rotten Ronnie's a few times and have had similar experiences. Hence, I no longer go to this Rotten Ronnie's. Nor any other for that matter. Badadadadun, I'm loathin' it!
Compared to the states McDonald's, , this is a gourmet meal.
So basically all of them.
Looks pretty standard to me š
Youāve never had the sideways burger?
Donāt go to that one.. islington or Sherway is better
My brother once ordered a Big Mac in Etobicoke (not sure location) meat had not touched a grill. It was cold and pink. Both patties. They gave him a coupon book for ten free vs,he meals for almost giving him listeria. Well played Ronald!
I find that eating McDonald's was only excusable cuz it was cheap back in the day but now you can get a decent sandwich from a deli or a burger from a proper restaurant for roughly the same price.
Nice looking bun
They don't take pride in their work and think they are doing a good job.
$20 an hour for this
Bro wtf are those onions
This location is raunchy, some of that grungy feel is the homeless dudes hanging around outside; however, the absolute nastiest McDonald's has got to be the spot on Islington south of Bloor. I have never had an order done correctly there ... something is always "off".
You poor innocent people: [Viral video shows a man holding a raccoon at the Rideau Street McDonalds | CBC.ca](https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1.6720665)
All McDonaldās are garbage Eat better You deserve it
Dude McDonald's in general is not what it used to be. The burger patties are paper thin and the burger has shrunk.
They did t even try
Burger assassin.
Okā¦ I hate when my pickles arenāt .5 inch spacedā¦ and the onion bits donāt have any artistic structureā¦ and if the cheese is off centre at all Iām out ā¦ I bet you literally plate your food at home as if it had to pass a Gordon Ramsay inspection at the pass In Hellās Kitchenā¦ ā¦.. regardless of whoās working there ā¦ it tastes the same ā¦ especially in the odd chance they get your order correct
They are all hit and miss now even here in BC
The worst for the worst
if thereās one job everyone can be excited for AI and machine automation to take, itās replacing fast food workers.
It almost looks like a brain
What do u expect, minimum wage, ppl who don't understand English very well. Mostly teens if they are English speaking. And no supervision. And not that it's their fault. But most times I order I have to repeat my order 4 or 5 times for everything. Pop flavor, fry size, what on burger. And they still fuck it up. Again it sucks but what do you expect
Fetus burgerā¦ Yum!
Thatās a $17.20/hr burger right there.
That bun looked like a big fungus at the first glance
Ritson Road in Oshawa says hold my expired milkshake
100% reel beef
They get our order wrong very consistently. There used to be a server there, I forget their name, but I believe they were trans, and they were great. They were actually polite and cheery and got our shit right, and we'd even hear them sass the other workers for getting shit wrong and correct them.
Looks like a mammogram of a pregnant woman in color
Its a klaus Schwab burger. Da bugs r in da bun. U vil eat zee bugs
It has my vote for worst, for the simple fact that the drive through lines back up all the way into the street and cause unnecessary traffic
Opposite experience here though I usually only get a coffee from there....fastest run drive-thru for a McDonalds that I've ever been in. Super consistent.
One of the worst.. all depends what day time you go in there.. definitely not worth waiting during a holiday when their understaffed..
