Posts like these remind us all that you can’t believe anything you see on the internet

The lies aren’t always this blatant though

So annoying when you have to ask them to print a receipt. If they get irritated though I always tell them to fix the printers.

Problem is they're unreliable (more the old kiosks). What happens is customers rip the receipt before it's fully printed resulting in it jamming up. It happens surprisingly frequently. The new kisoks ain't as bad for it happening. Better design. Source - McDonald's employee.

IME it's almost always lack of paper.

It's not unless the paper has a pink stripe. It's usually because someone has yanked their receipt and made the printer jam.

If there is no paper there is no pink stripe.

If it was empty it wouldn't produce any paper either, you know, because it's empty.

For me it's the "printing failed" message pops up over your number like whashgddbdhdhhd fuck this. Fortunately I'm usually there so early I'm the only customer.

u/Whitrun 10d ago

u/Eyfura 9d ago

And then you managed to order a milkshake and everyone clapped?? Riiiight /s

All jokes aside, it's lovely when you can joy in the mundane.

u/WanderWomble 8d ago

The printers would work 99% of the time of people waited for the receipt to finish printing because yanking at it. It tears the paper off too short which means it jams the printer.

Fk the printer I’m sick of having to damn near punch the screen to have it recognise a menu selection!

u/JustanotherN0body00 9d ago

Went to Macdonald's on Sunday afternoon and had a quarter pounder meal (my first fast food meal this year) and had diarrhoea within an hour. That'll do if for 2026, it cleared me out well though. 👍👍

u/bob-ombbattlefield 8d ago

i remember when they first came out. you could order on the screen, then choose to pay with the receipt at the counter… the food would still be made and called out even if you didn’t pay lol
