It has been a while since my last McDonald’s post as I don’t want to overdo matters. This is the outlet at Köln Messe and I went in as I realised that I could get a free coffee by using the app. I don’t get out much so I like a little bargain.

Apparently (if online reviews can be believed) the screen to the top right which shows the order numbers has been broken for nearly a year which adds excitement for the team members when they have to call out every order. It wasn’t very busy when I was there, but the quiet nature of the venue was punctuated with an angry woman yelling numbers in German and English when the food orders hadn’t been collected promptly.
Actually, looking at the reviews, there was this one:
“Worst McDonald’s I’ve been to. Received 17 McNuggets instead of 20”
And in that situation, as far as I’m concerned the police should have been called….
“My husband had major heart surgery and he wanted two hamburgers and medium fries… My husband ate half a burger and five fries, then he threw up, and everything ended up in the trash… Thanks for nothing.”
I’m not a qualified doctor, but I do wonder whether the surgery might have been slightly relevant here rather than giving the venue a 1 star review.
Although, having said that, there are over ten reviews from customers who have seen a mouse running around the store, so who knows….

It was free, this pleased me…..
