If I ran a restaurant I’d ensure the price of every cheaper meal was £19.99 for the duration of the scheme though...As a qualified accountant I can promise you this will not happen because
A) they’d have to pay more tax
B) where would the income be coming from on their accounts, as in the 50% of the meal the customer pays for. They’d have to pay it out of their personal account / cash
C) stock levels wouldn’t match up.
D) multiple people would need to be involved with the fraud to bypass it and wouldn’t happen unless a family owned restaurant or pub
They might be able to get away with under 10 meals but what’s the point.
Then you’d have no customersIf I ran a restaurant I’d ensure the price of every cheaper meal was £19.99 for the duration of the scheme though...
I meant on the till, not for the customers!Then you’d have no customers
I would rather go home and eat my food if it meant I was less likely to catch Covid. They’re pretty clever if you ask me. At least the staff don’t have to tidy up after them eitherI was listening to McDonalds staff saying they can’t wait for it to be over.
The brass neck of people ordering food as sit in and then handing the staff their table number and immediately leaving with their food is shocking.
i do take my food home but I pay full price and don’t abuse the deal for the sake of a few quid.I would rather go home and eat my food if it meant I was less likely to catch Covid. They’re pretty clever if you ask me. At least the staff don’t have to tidy up after them either

I’m not sure why it’s so terrible when the organisations still have to employ staff and money is still being exchanged.i do take my food home but I pay full price and don’t abuse the deal for the sake of a few quid.
Please educate me - as I understand it from this thread, McDonalds is in effect doing table service to prevent queues. How is it preventing staff from cleaning if you sit? They still have to clean the table...I do itThere’s a McDonald’s next to where I work so I take it back to my desk and eat it.
Not really abusing a deal when it’s there and encouraged to be used.
Agree above, less likely to catch covid and no need for staff to clean up after you.
Ooooooh you don’t queue and get it? I’m not privy to the maccas ordering and eating inside info. Regardless, if you order, pay and take it home, they get to get more customers through the door = more money. If someone sits at a table, orders, gets their food delivered and then buzzes off home, someone has to clean the table = keeps someone else in a job?Please educate me - as I understand it from this thread, McDonalds is in effect doing table service to prevent queues.

You still need to queue outside as they only let so many people in at a time whether they are sitting in or taking awayPlease educate me - as I understand it from this thread, McDonalds is in effect doing table service to prevent queues.

Ah thanks. I saw someone refer to table numbers being taken away, which wasn't a thing when I last went into a McDonald's (20ish years ago) so presumed it was a covid measure.You still need to queue outside as they only let so many people in at a time whether they are sitting in or taking away
no they’ve done the table numbers / table service for at least a year if not two, not a COVID thing.Ah thanks. I saw someone refer to table numbers being taken away, which wasn't a thing when I last went into a McDonald's (20ish years ago) so presumed it was a covid measure.
