What Is The Dumbest Mcdonalds Corporate Slogan Of All Time

What's the strangest request you've had at McDonald’s?

“Can I get a free meal if I show you my tits?”It was late in the day but early in my graveyard shift when a bombshell blonde came through the drive-thru in a convertible and, out of nowhere, threw that out at me.“You had a Big Mac meal, right?” I said nervously, as my face turned deeper shades of red. She was stunning, with a reverse bob hairstyle and oozing confidence. I was a shy and socially inept eighteen-year-old, she looked to be in her early twenties. She looked like she has just left a party, not surprising for a store that was right next to a community college.“Yep!”“Ok, hold on.” I hastily grabbed the Big Mac from the heated landing zone (where food is kept warm) and threw it in a bag. I snatched a fry from the fry station, shoved napkins into the bag, and handed it out the window along with her drink, a Sprite I think.She looked at me blankly. “You don’t want to see my tits?”“You don’t have to…I mean, you, uh, you’re good to go,” I stammered.“Alright,” she muttered. I couldn’t tell if she was baffled or embarrassed. “Well, thank you,” was the last I ever heard of her. I paid for that meal out of my pocket, more than anything because I was flustered and just wanted to get on with the night.To this day I wonder about that lady. Did she go home afterward and consume her Big Mac in muted contemplation? Or did she shrug it off, if the tactic yielded free Big Macs? What would make a person place their dignity so low. I mean, McDonald’s?! Chick-fil-a, maybe, but not Mickey D’s.Anyhow, that’s the strangest request I’ve had in my time at McDonalds.Bonus:· A guy that called on Valentine’s Day and asked if we would cut a hamburger into a heart. Probably a prank.· A drunk guy that complained that his Whopper was cold and angrily slammed a Burger King bag on the counter.· The phone call from somebody, who sounded suspiciously like Jack Black, wanting to order a six-piece nugget with only four nuggets in the box cause he’s on a diet. Definitely a prank.· The huge body builder-looking dude that accused me of stealing his lunch when we were in jail a couple of weeks prior. I’ve never been to jail and he didn’t take his eye off me the whole time he sat in the lobby. I was sweating bullets.

What is the dumbest case for suing (that actually won)?

If you think it was the women who sued McDonald’s because the coffee was too hot i suggest you look at pictures of the old women who was burned. It will change your opinion immediately.READ THIS: The Actual Facts about the Mcdonalds' Coffee Casei want to add a point: this was obviously a tort case and i think the original question insinuated what stupid lawsuit was won and resulted in a large settlement. when you hear talk of tort reform, in the manner of capping settlements, understand that these are insurance company’s pushing the idea. slime bag insurance company’s want to cap what they pay regardless of how egregious the act. When someone talks to you about tort reform to cap settlements tell them this story: in the 1970’s Ford built a Pinto car that failed crash test rear end collisions. when hit at speeds as low as 20 miles per hour, gasoline escaped causing a potential explosion/fire threat. Ford knew of the defect but was trying to meet an accelerated time line. additionally, Ford used cost-reasoning analysis to determine it was cheaper to face potential lawsuits then to fix the cars at $5 to $8 each. essentially a few people burned to death was cheaper than fixing the problem.in 1978 Judy Ulrich, her 16 year old sister and another teenager were hit from behind in her 1971 pinto and they burned to death when the vehicle exploded. the JURY awarded $125 million punitive damages (punitive=you are an asshole and need to be punished). a JUDGE reduced it to $3.5 million. judge’s protect banks, insurance companies and corporations because they are wealthy and it could impact re-election possibilities. Hopefully the judge is burning in hell.The argument for capping settlements is it drives up premiums. I will pay a few cents more so that the Ulrich family gets $125 million, because there will never be a day that goes by where they don’t ask themselves how long the girls burned before they lost consciousness. And all the fat pigs at Ford redecorated their mansions….read here: Case: The Ford Pinto

What is the worst advertising slogan ever?

that would be the one that none of us remember. all these mentioned here are EXCELLENT and successful advertising slogans... why? because you can quote them without a second thought ... you may hate them, but they are on your mind .... :)

how about this one? and *have* you ever had weetabix ... it sucks.

"Have you had your Weetabix?" yup ...that's it. that was the slogan.

What is the most clever or witty company slogan you've seen?

Unfortunately clever and/ or witty do not drive traffic for the most mass media buyouts. K.I.S.S. for most companies works magic. Take McDonalds - I’m pretty sure most of us know the menu, it’s contents, locations near WHEREVER we may be along with general price points and operating hours (unless it’s say a ‘late night’ )! BUT - they make damn sure to remind us we’re “Loving it” every day/ hour/ night .. on practically on every media medium known to man. They don’t stop. I think that’s clever- understanding your formula - simplicity and repetition and applying it correctly and CONSISTENTLY.EF Hutton was a good one back in the day as far as clever goes imo..,

What is the strangest complaint you've ever heard from a customer?

There are many weird or strange complaints I hear almost everyday, one of that was today that the customer got the fee on his account because his account was overdrawn by a check, he issued to someone in the beginning of the month and he said that specifically it’s the bank’s mistake I got the fee on my account, I explained him that you issued the check but the person presented it at the end of the month and your account was overdrawn, you should be sure you have enough funds to cover that check, so, would you please help me understand how that’s the bank mistake that you got a fee. In fact bank did made a mistake clearing that check else the check would have been returned and there was a return fee and may be a negative reporting to the credit. But the customer was adamant and said no it’s not my fault it’s always a bank’s fault.

What is the stupidest legal case ever taken to court?

My personal favorite was one that happened during the little dispute between a bunch of Texians and Mexico, their technically sovereign lord. The Texians had, in a moment of alcohol-fueled enthusiasm, captured at cannon mouth a revenue cutter, captained by a Scot but formerly attempting to collect import/export taxes on behalf of the Mexican government. At the time there was something of a dispute as to whether these taxes could or could not be levied validly, but that was a separate issue. Anyway, after the Texians had sobered up, they realized that the government of Mexico might be somewhat incensed over their seizure of a Mexican vessel and crew, so did what seemed like the smart thing and sent that ship and its crew to New Orleans, claiming that, because the captain didn’t have on hand the order of his appointment, he was a pirate and the ship could be seized and sold, along with everything on it.The authorities in New Orleans realized that this might be a bit problematic and awkward for the U.S. The crew and captain were initially jailed, then released in the custody of the Mexican counsel in New Orleans, but there still remained the question of what to do with the ship. The matter was presented for decision to the local federal court. The lawyers involved got into a fight in court which culminated in the throwing of ink pots at each other. The judge decided that the lawyers could join their clients in the hoosegow, then relented and let everybody go. Purportedly the vessel was technically turned over to Mexico, but was in such poor shape that it was abandoned.And then there was the Alamo and all that followed.
