Interestingly McDonalds Sunshine is well run and has decent staff including a cheery girl who brings the meals to your table.

OK McDav - serious issue to look into! Why is it soooooooo farking hard to replace the drink you get with a value meal for a frozen coke? A large frozen coke is $1 FFS so why when I ask to have the drink with my sons value meal a frozen coke have I 3 times now been charged $1.50 extra (I’ve been charged $1 extra numerous times as well) Not only was I charged more than the drink itself is on its own but I then don’t get the drink that supposed to come with the value meal. It ended up costing me $10.40 for 6 nuggets, 1 small fries & 1 large frozen coke & thats a value meal? Individually they would only add up to $9.25. I’m just not sure why selecting frozen coke instead of regular soft drinks poses any problem - it should just be a standard option & certainly not an extra cost. This has been an issue at several different stores. I’ve even been charged extra when requesting a small frozen drink which again seems to cause confusion among staff. Is there some internal instruction that views frozen drinks differently?

Frozen cokes are loss leaders.
If you buy it individually on the touch screens it shows up as like $5 before being discounted to 1
Because $1 Frozen drinks are available A la carte only, not in a meal. It’s part of the Loose Change Menu. You can’t get a $1 Hamburger in a meal, you’d still pay full price.
It’s aimed to be an add on, at a reduced profit.
Not quite a loss leader…

This is awful news and I’ll never eat McDonalds again today.
Buying one is a loss.
Hjs frozen drinks are better.
It’s really not.
It’s more expensive than not frozen but there’s no way it’s anywhere near a dollar to make.
I’ve never tried HJs frozen coke.
Would like to see more McFlurrt varieties. The apple pie one was awesome.
If its not possible to add it to a meal I thinks thats a poor decision from McDonalds but its their decision to make. The problem is thats not remotely made clear to consumers plus many/most of your staff clearly have no idea thats the case or how to handle it. I’ve had numerous different outcomes from the same request. If I was told I couldn’t substitute coke for frozen coke (again I can’t see why it should be a problem) then I wouldn’t have ordered that way, I would have then decided do I still get a value meal & 2 drinks or do I A la carte. I think the option of a frozen drink in any size should be offered with a value meal if thats what people want instead of other softdrink options. I can’t even find small frozen cokes on the menu but this is something I have ordered before & I believe should be offered particularly for young kids who don’t need or parents don’t want them to have the large size. I think its something worth considering even if its just for summer.
BTW you can absolutely get a $1 hamburger as part of a happy meal for $5.50. Some people order meals for convenience not just maximising savings.
Just get the $1burger, the $1 frozen coke and when they ask if you’d like to make it a meal, say you’re going next door to Hungry Jacks to buy $1 chips.

The Mega Mac with Crispy Jalopenos or whatever tf it was was one of the worst/most disappointing things I’ve had from Maccas in memory. Sorry McDav
Turns out JBomber is just as passionate about Frozen Coke as he is midfielders. Who’da thunk.

LOL
The El Maco is smaller. When I worked at Maccas it was a quarter pounder size. Now they make it bigmac size.
I think the last time I had an el maco was the night we beat Collingwood on a Friday in 2006.
Gonna have to get one.
