Following text of mails can be seen.See how shameless and blatant the staff is. I think it does not reach management.
Dated 7.10.10
Please see the mails.
I would definitely like to know what kind of shameless people mcdonalds has recruited to represent in India.
Do you feel a iota of shame that you people are getting big salaries without any output ? How do you digest it? Better sit on streets and beg- if you have to eat without work!

(hope some one is there)
Is your team a group of people being paid bt the company for not responding to the customers' feedback? I have a right to receive the policy statement of the company regarding the deceitful packing.
And your team is just resting on the correspondence of the customers. Is this the work culture of Mcdonalds.

Madam ,
you have not answered the details.Kindly give specific reply.It seems some un authorised person is making policy statements on behalf of the company.
Kindly provide the details and do not waste time of others. It is needless to say it forms part of your duty.
And why is the feedback team afraid of answering in writing?

madam,
That is plausible !That is the way Mcdonalds confirms they cheat. Do you know you yourself are accepting that your organisation is cheating by not filling the contents but merely topping it.
It is a contravention of provisions reg Packaging .
1.Please let me first know what is your position in Mcdonalds .Are you a responsible staff authorised to make such policy statements or are from call centre.
2.Pl let me have the mail adddress of MD Mcdonalds India.
Let me then pubicise this cheating in the press.Let the people know how blatantly Mcdonalds says ' that is the way we fill the cones'- taking some responsible person is saying so.
Thanks for the quick response.

Madam,
The matte r i s cristal clear. Pl read again-
We purchased 2 plain soft cones.. I ate and found mine cone empty inside. cream was only topped on top.Then my son , after finishing top cream ,complained that no cream is there in the cone.
I experienced it for the first time. I felt cheated like by a street vendor cheating and saving cream.
So i complained to the counter staff and called manager/ supervisor. He told they have been specifically told not to fill cone from inside. I took complain slip and dropped in the box.
Now, you have not answered the question -
1. Is it true there are specific instructions to hoodwink the gullible customers?
2. If no, how do you set the things right on the part of erring salesmen , who damage the image built painstakingly by the company ?
3. How a simple rep down in the line set the things right by simply calling a customer.
Thanks
Kumar.

Complaint marked as Resolved
I REALLY can't believe that these people allow their employees to treat their customers as they do. THEN when I attempt to make a complaint through the McDonalds Corporate site, there's no e mail address and none of the employees in the corporate office had a clue, citing "I never do this (look for the e mail address).. sooooooooooooooooooo..."
This McDonalds is disgusting. The employees are complete [censored]s. I drove through, KNOWING it would again be a crappy experience as it never changes...but I was in a hurry and my granddaughter wanted a happy meal. Happy for her, miserable for me EVERY TIME I go in there.
Each time I wait at least 6 months before I return and each time it's the same. Some of the employees are the same, but generally they just continue to hire trashy smart mouthed jerks that have no idea what customer service is. Nor do they care, they wouldn't mind eating there, but they sure as hell don't want to WORK. And they get real nasty when they have to work.
Today was something new. Before now it's been black and blonde weave in my quarter pounder and when I took it back they refused to give me my money back and told me to "deal with it because I had taken a bite out of it"... THAT'S WHEN I FOUND THE WEAVE, . WHEN I TOOK THE BITE AND PULLES A PIECE OF 6 FT WEAVE WITH MY TEETH. Another time, I asked for an unsweet tea with Splenda, so I receive a sweet tea with Splenda. I let the manager know that I was diabetic and he decided to educate me with all of the things his daughter taught him about diabetes, like I needed a coach and like he had a clue.
Today!... I drive through and paid 14.00 for my supply of Alpo from McDonalds and get to the next window within seconds and was asked what my order was. I sat there looking at that girl and asked her if she was serious. She said "nevermind" and closed the drive through window.
Then they send a to the window with a happy meal and asked me the drink. A 14.00 happy meal??? I don't think so. They didn't explain that they didn't find the order, they just kept bagging things and handing it to me in hopes they would get lucky. I finally asked what was going on. The black girl in the window began the bobbling head and ebonics speak, letting me know in some lame way that I wasn't cooperating in giving the order which I had just ordered and paid for at the window behind me, "SSSSSOOOOOOOO" ... ( "sssssssooooooooo", I guess means, since I didn't understand that they had lost my order I was the ) They handed me some more things that weren't part of my order, I corrected that eventually. I hate myself for not getting my money back and leaving.
I asked her what they were doing, she said "Weyah, we rrrraced yer odah, so if you don't tayell us what it iyahs, you don't git it!" So I told the smart my order and she flung it out the window at me and asked if there would be anything else... I said "yeah, a decent manager." She started screaming at me out the drive through window and said "Weyah, they aint no manajah heeyah toooodaaaayyyyy." I told her that was obvious, and I started to pull out, I looked in my rear view window and she was hanging out the drive through window screaming something, I couldn't decypher her obvious educated diatribe but I do know that place was busy inside and out and I know the people behind me had to have been in sheer amazement. Probably several of the customers inside as well.
I cannot believe that this McDonalds can't locate people who are willing to treat people with respect. Apparently the owners, the Smith's. ( All of the McDonalds here have owers with the last name of Smith as posted on the signs, I wish I would have written that information down, I would have called them and met them there to confront that little wench in person with the owners present) ... the owners just assume they'll gain another customer for every one that they lose at the hand of the most ignorant, incompetent, overbearing, trash that they choose to hire.
I cannot IMAGINE allowing this crap to happen over and over again. And it does! I'm not alone in this. There is ONE person there that is a decent human being. Everyone else sucks right up to the management.
So again, I'm out of there.-- Oh and Carly, in the main office was equally as incompetent. Couldn't locate an e mail address for me to send a written complaint to, so with that, I just decided maybe it's best to take it public.She too was rude. Typical ignorant McDonalds material. I went through there on 12/15/10 at around 1:50 PM just in the event the owners of this place happen to care at all and would like to see who was on at that time.
Just a little tip to the who couldn't figure out the order. Perhaps you may have considered going to the woman who took my order and my money and ask her what my order was once you "rrrrrrraced it". She most likely could have been of assistance to you.
I was an for not handing them the receipt and demanding my money be returned. But hindsight is always 20/20. I just won't go back. Not ever. There are WAY too many options in this town. The last time I saw management like that in a restaurant, the place lost most of it's business and had to put complete new management in there to survive. One last thing. My quarter pounder was burned on the outside, raw on the inside, I didn't get my drinks because sitting there bathing in the stupidity was so overwhelming I had to get out once the cow started screaming as if my being there keeping her in a job was an inconvenience... there were black burned meat crumbs all over the bottom of my burger bun from the grill and the fries were cold. YUMMY!
Kathy and whoever her husband, Mr. Smith is... better take a good long look at the that can't even handle working at McDonalds. If there are enough people like me that are that adversely affected, you WILL lose your business eventually.
Cici's Pizza or Pita Delight for me, the next time I want to dine on that side of town. They ALL care about their customers. None of the trash from that McDonalds would ever be hired into places like these. I would be safe there. I spend alot of money out as I work 2 jobs. You pigs will NEVER see another dime of my money. It's Alpo for humans anyway.
