the fat ass manager in richmond centre mall put up a sign in felt “no free coffee”. I asked him why, he then stated “costs us too much” He turned away 3 customers in 20 seconds when he stated that out loud. I called him a cheap idiot and walked away.

Just went to McDonald’s, got 2 burgers without a meal. Cashier asked me if I would like a free coffee, I said sure. He then asked me which size I would like, to which I responded, “Large”. No extra $ was added to my receipt, I paid for the 2 burgers and that was it. Pretty cool!

It’s free because Tim Horton’s today started their “Roll Up The Rim To Win”. Let the coffee wars begin.

The small IS free..the medium IS to be 21 cents and the large IS 34 CENTS. Some McD's may be unclear about this--communication can be lacking. Two weeks starting Nov 16 to the 29 only during breakfast hours. If you have received mediums and large for free than lucky you lol. If you have been paying full price for medium or large than call the manager of the store, keep your receipts and they will likely make it right, with either free coffee or perhaps breakfast, depending on the mood of the manager. You should not be asked how many people in your car. Generally, unless you are requesting a ridiculous amount you should be able to take away 2 free for yourself. What amazes me, as an employee of McD's, is that for many free just isn't good enough. It isn't free when purchased in an EXTRA VALUE MEAL...the purpose is to offer a free coffee IN ADDITION TO your purchase or on its own. This isn't lets make a deal or can I change the "free SMALL coffee offer" to suit me. Nor is drive thru the place to negotiate prices or hold up others behind you while you quibble over getting a FREE coffee. I must say, in the year I have worked drive thru, I have seen all manner of humanity..most are pleasant. Some feel it quite alright to be exceedingly rude..some think drive thru is where you use your dirty ashtray coins..jeez it is so nice to receive a $5.35 order in filthy nickles. It is drive thru people, meant to be a quick alternative to walking into the restaurant. For those who get stuck behind the penny counters, or the people who feel they need to argue when free just isn't free enough, all I can say is try standing in our nonslip shoes. Oh and NO-- the ketchup isn't in the bag UNLESS you tell us when you ORDER that you would like some...Could you PLEASE try to remember your order when you leave the speaker, so when we verify it with you, you get YOUR order and NOT the order of the poor guy behind you. It never ceases to amaze me the look of contempt I get from some, when I dare to ask their order. It is as if they are the ONLY person there and I must be the stupidest person on the planet for not knowing what they ordered. Often I haven't taken the order, nor is it IN ORDER on my screen when princess drives up to window one, which by the way is ALWAYS THE FIRST WINDOW. The order from the other lane may be the first to be on my screen rather than the first to be at window one..am I making sense here or am I too vague. Would it kill you to repeat yourself when you are told "I am sorry I am having trouble hearing you" Unroll your window fully and face the fricken screen. If you need a new muffler or drive a diesel turn the damn thing OFF already--we cannot hear you over your vehicle. And passenger, just leave the ordering to the person closest to the speaker will you? We can't hear you regardless of how shrill you get. Also, while I am ranting...if you didn't order nuggets YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SAUCE...if you want mayo, which is also called McChicken sauce FYI, to dip your chips in---you have to PAY for it. Oh, and breakfast is over at 10:30. The grills we use to prepare that menu product is cooked at a certain temp..lunch is prepared on a higher temp--why??? because if we cooked your burgers at the same temp as eggs we'd make you sick..At 1030 we raise the temp of the grill and fryers, we then cook the meat, we then check the temp of the meat-- if it isn't at the proper temp, the meat is wasted and we start again the ensure your food is fully cooked--does this confuse anyone? The same goes for hashbrowns--they are prepared in the fryer at a lower temp than the fries require. The name for hashbrowns is HASHBROWNS--not potato things. The egg McMuffin is made with HAM aka canadian bacon--if you want one with BACON ask for a bacon McMuffin--not an egg Mcmuffin with bacon..if you insist on ordering and egg muffin with back you will get an egg McMuffin with both bacon AND ham and we will charge you extra. The quarterpounder with cheese-- COMES with cheese that is why it is called a QUARTERPOUNDER WITH CHEESE--always has, always will. Well, I feel better---any confusion with the drive thru system please feel free to ask for clarification and thank you for choosing McDonalds --- have yourself a good day!

It is free in Montreal! I’ve been getting one everyday so far. The coffee tastes better than Tim’s. I haven’t tried to get a large and pay the diffrence, but I saw people buying the large ones and paying… so I’m guessing it is just the small free. Anyways… it is great! Tim’s gives me the shakes when I drink it. Way too much caffine I think at Tims.

To add to the Tims vs. McD debate: I used to go to Tims and get a large coffee and give a toonie(cost of coffee + assumed tip). Now I go to McD and I get a large coffee and a muffin for $1.91. Fruit & Fibre is my favourite!! Besides sometimes Tim’s is burnt! McD’s does not stay on a burner, it’s in a thermos so the quality of the coffee doesn’t change in a 10 minute window )

All week I went to one McDonalds and got a large for free. I went to one closer to home today and they charged me for the coffee…the full $1.49 each for three coffee so I told the gal at the window that I should get it for free and she said only small coffee was free so I said fine…give me six small coffee’s to go! It does not make sense. If you want people to try the coffee, why should the size matter?? Keep in mind that refills are free at MsD’s in Canada!! It took the gals much longer to prepare my 6 smalls than for the 3 large that I assume they threw away. Can you say DUH???

Got a free coffee this morning and I just figured it would be a small but the lady asked me what size I wanted. So not being greedy I just asked for a medium. No difference was paid or anything. And the best part was that there was a sign on the window that said 29cent hashbrowns! So of course I had to snag one of those too! Great start to the day!

Tim’s coffee is good but nothing special. McD’s is just as good or better and the service is better and the wait is way shorter. Plus Tim Horton’s has the atmosphere of a 1970’s diner/dump. McD’s is the way to go.

The place I stopped at wouldn’t let me upsize by just paying the difference (which is odd, you would think by paying the difference I am probably paying the COG… but whatever). I just got the small. Enjoyed it so much I got another small a couple of hours later I enjoyed it just as much as I enjoy TH coffee — the price is also comparable to TH.
