Why you should always ask for a receipt at McDonald’s
A McDonald’s employee has shared a tip he claims will ensure you have the freshest fast food meal – and all you have to do is ask for a receipt.
Kamran Adan, who worked for a year in a London branch, says staff will ensure a meal is in tip-top shape if you ask for payment details in case you’re a mystery shopper.
“Basically between 12-2pm and 5-7pm workers have to be extra careful because that is when gapbusters (mystery shoppers,) who are paid, visit McDonald’s restaurants and rate their experience,” he wrote on Quora.
“This then goes to the overall store rating and every store manager will do everything to ensure this rating is as positive as possible.”
Kamran says staff quickly realised that mystery shoppers “always ask for a receipt (so they can get their food costs reimbursed by the company employing them.)”
Sharing the tip with fast food fans, he added: “So, if you ask for a receipt in that time everyone will be immediately alert that you could be a potential gapbuster and they’ll make sure to serve you the freshest burger and fries and give you priority over everyone else.”
