I'm NOT "Lovin It"

Went to McDonalds to get lunch today. Bit into my hamburger and found a long strip of dental floss! I called and gave them a piece of my mind for that one. Told them they best watch their line cooks and servers to see who has this fetish for dental floss on the job.

They wanted to give me a free meal but I sort of lost my appetite after that, so they are refunding my money plus giving me a free meal. It will be quite some time before I go to that restaurant again.

One more reason that I only order fries from McDonalds! I only do that when we're traveling.

Ewwww!!!

If the floss was actually in the meat, it came from someone in their processing plant where the burger patties are made, not the actual restaurant itself.

Either way, that is so horridly gross! I'd have thrown up for sure!

If I were the store manager, I would have simply reminded you that its important to floss, and by including it free of charge in your food I was in fact helping your dental hygiene. Thanks are not necessary.

Eww!! I can't stand McDonald's. I never liked them as a kid either.

EEEWWWWW!!!! I'd be done too! That is beyond gross! Another thing to help me avoid fast food! I'll take care of my burger cravings at home!!

It probably wasn't actual dental floss. . .the twine they use for commercial meats is a lot like floss, so it was probably that. But still, finding things in your food is icky no matter what.

All I can say on that is yuck

Eww! I have never been disappointed with Mcdonalds food.

I am boycotting McDonalds anyway. I refuse to eat there...But thats why I am leery of any fast food places, often times its just random high school kids working there who don't give a crap about the customers.
At least where I live, I find almost all of the fast food joints are dirty or there is hair in the food or something.
There is only one place I trust, and its not even in the town where I live. I don't eat much of it these days though.

Reminds me of the time my sister found a toonie (2 dollar coin for those who don't know Canadian currency) in her McDonalds fries. She took them back to the place, where she showed what she discovered, they took it, kept it and gave her another order of fries. They could have at least let her keep the 2 bucks!

hissy, did you throw away that piece of something that looked like dental floss?

You could have/should have done two things with it. Show it to your local pharmacist to get an opinion as to what it was, and show it to an inspector at your local health department, also for an opinion and a follow up.

I'm wondering, is it too late?

Oh, gross!
Don't you love how places that serve food offer you a free meal when something goes wrong? "Yes, your disgusting food had a cockroach/fly/floss/teeth in it, I'd love another meal. Thank you!"

I'm wondering, is it too late now?

Things like this are why I only like fast-food places like Subway where you can actually see what they are doing.

Oh my!... .............. ......................

Ahhh, this would totally make sense! I guess you would know by the width?

Well, guess it's time to change to (my favorite) "In 'n Out"! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!

The best burger ever, be sure to get your onions grilled!! Yeahhhh

We've gotten to the point where, except for an occasional venture into Subway, we don't really go to fast food places anymore. As LuvMyParker said, it's often just kids who're working there and they don't care.

If we really need a burger, DH makes them. He does a mean blue cheese burger with caramelized onions. And he makes them to order! Yum!

My Mom was always a stay at home Mom, so when me andmy brother got older she decided to get a part time job just for something to do.

Well she ended up working at McDonalds. She was still training when she accidently dropped a piece of lettuce on the floor, she picked it up and threw it in the garbage. The person training her was like "noooooooo". Ya see apparently the dirt doesn't "stick" to lettuce, so it's ok to pick it up and put it on the burger. However meat, tomatoes, etc you can put in the garbage because the dirt sticks to those things...

What the heck?!?!?!

So it doesn't surprise me that you found something in your meat. Goodness knows what goes on in those kitchens!

I literally gagged reading this!

McDonalds was actually my first job ever and truthfully I absolutely loved it, and so did everyone I worked with! We had a great time, and they taught me a lot of skills. It really sucks that this happened to you, because I know that an experience like that would turn me off to the place completely too.
