The Simple Trick for a Better McDonald’s Experience

Want fresher food and better service at McDonald’s? Just ask for a receipt. Employees are trained to be extra attentive when they suspect a mystery shopper might be evaluating them— and requesting a receipt can make them think you are one.

This small step can lead to hotter food, fewer order mistakes, and even a cleaner dining area. Plus, a receipt helps if you need to correct an order and gives you access to McDonald’s feedback system, sometimes with rewards.

Next time you grab a meal, try this easy trick—it might just improve your experience!
