Attention: McDonalds Customer Services

Subject: Rude service on November 11, 2021

Dear Mr. May,

I hope you receive this email well. Today I am writing to you about a recent unsatisfactory dining experience I’ve had at the UBC McDonalds branch on November 11, 2021. I am saddened to say this incident has heavily lessened my respect for the establishment and the employees which were present at the time.

Yesterday, I ordered a Big Mac combo with a medium soda at around 1:30 in the afternoon and when my order was ready, a McDonalds employee reached for my food and licked it before handing it to me. The employee then proceeded to yell vulgar and insensitive comments at me regarding my outfit and my hair at a very loud volume. As a loyal customer, I am shocked at the magnitude and insensitivity of the other employees as they stood there and recorded the incident. I later found the recorded incident on a WhatsApp group chat, which had manage to garner over one million views in only a few hours.

After this traumatic incident, I spoke over the phone with a customer representative at the UBC branch, who hung the phone up on me in a very rude and aggressive manner. As you can see, the services I’ve received from McDonalds UBC have been subpar, rude and very uncharacteristic of the McDonalds establishment that I frequent. Therefore, I believe I am owed a proper apology and refund.

I have enclosed all the visual images of my meal and recorded proof of the incident yesterday afternoon.

Please let me know how we can follow up regarding this incident. I am looking forward to hearing back from you.

Sincerely,

Danisa Rambing
