Take advantage of this shop-a-docket to make your own relatively cheap meal.
There are quite a few combos you can come up with. For example:
The list goes on. Available at McDonald's Coogee, Eastgardens, Maroubra & Mascot until October 7. Enjoy :)
Mate half of Maroubra is housing commission (even if the other half is affluent). Mascot & Eastgardens - not particularly wealthy.
I'll give you Coogee though :P
All Sydney/Melbourne/etc are in the rich suburbs - compared to everyone that doesn't live there, LOL.
As a person who grew up in Maroubra I can assure you that myself and former neighbours often laugh when people say stuff like that. On paper, Maroubra certainly has reached the status of a rich area when one looks at housing prices. Very few people who graduated from South Sydney High, Matraville High, the former Maroubra High or even Randwick High Schools in the past 10 years can even dream of owning a home in Maroubra - although buying one out west isn't much easier. But if you visit Maroubra you'll find an immense number of houses are still owned by (now) old-aged working-class retirees and a significant chunk of units are housing estates. Some may argue that Maroubra (and especially Lexington Place - https://www.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/2xzvo9/lexington_pl…) might make for a more authentic Housos episode. The McDonalds-Pub-Centrelink-Police junction should be heritage protetced for its lifelong contribution to boganism.
Hacked?
Please don't tell us that Mc Donalds threatens with copyright problems if a image of them is shown here.
I'd say Shop A Docket does.
I'm boycotting (I don't like anyway so it's not a true boycott).
@kiriakoz: Don't boycott… still use their toilets. If you can find one that isn't full of vomit, has a door that shuts (or on its hinges), or you need free water!
It's McDonald's.
Legal threat on lawyer's letterhead a few weeks ago. Basically any McDonald's logo on OzBargain is seen as copyright infringement, even on thumbnails.
Burgers are definitely better elsewhere, for me now at least.
That's plain stupidity. I wonder what commercial benefit they think OzB will be getting by using their logo on the website. In fact they should be paying the OzB for the free publicity.
LOL
McDonalds© Chicken McBites®, i'm lovin' it™
Love them TightArsed Mc Donalds.
Why is it the responsibility of the establishment what its patrons do outside the premises? They provide every opportunity (bins inside and carpark) for the customers to do the right thing. Surely they cant be held accountable for people littering.
Lol seems like he's just trying to find a reason to hate maccas
How do you propose they serve you a burger ? Its one paper box inside a paper bag - both recyclable
I've never seen a maccas thats overly dirty outside. You should compare to 3rd world countries.
I do understand where your coming from, I don't want to see our world destroyed by peoples filth, but there's only 1 person that can make a difference, and that's the person that drops this rubbish instead of putting it in the bin. Why shirk the responsibility and blame the business?
That's the problem these days, everyone's so quick to blame someones else. If money should be spent anywhere, it should be increasing council/police patrols and heavily fining people for littering.
Clean as you go? clean after yourself?
If they can clean their establishment they should also cleanup or pay the council to clean the surrounding park or whatever.
You do realise your rates and taxes are paying to keep these very places cleaner, which again helps their business. WTF ?
As others have said, the problem is the people littering. Ranting at McDonald’s won't fix the real underlying issue.
I like the Japanese approach. Kids are taught to clean up after themselves at schools to the point where they are in charge of keeping their schools clean. They do all the cleaning chores on rotation, and janitors generally aren't required. The kids respect their environment when they're the ones responsible for caring for it. Consequently, they grow up to be adults who have instilled beliefs about not littering.
Cleaning up after patrons both on and off premises should be part of their cost of doing business, otherwise govs should charge a levy to cover the costs rather than making the community pay.
Might as well just ban packaging altogether, since we are all so hopeless and don't use bin's.
So if every week your neighbour's rascally kids kick your bins over when you put them out for rubbish collection, and they dump other rubbish on your front lawn every day which blows down the street, the council should impose a levy on you?
(Waiting for the inevitable, "not the same thing" reply.)
I never said McDonald's doesn't have a role.
The local rubbish is the least of the environmental harm. Search for "Livestock's long shadow" by the UN's FAO if you want to be informed.
Mickey dees.
Yuk.
Give TA the monthly prize already!
Glad the McBites are free, they are hardly worth paying for on their own!!
Would be nice if the Macca's at Brisbane Central station would send a staff member out, oh I don't know, at least once a week to clean up the mess since there are no bins.
If they cleaned up a bit I'd actually spend money eating there.
what about down south..VIC
Just think of what goes into making of that junk if you pay only $2 for it.
Top quality organic ingredients, hehe
could be high quality ingredients. they have low costs and make up their profit margins in other products.
Also comes with a free side of McDiabetes.
i have bought the mcbites before.. absolutely terrible : /
Would you have to print this? Or can you show them with your phone?
Damn you had me excited reading the long title…mouth watering…until I realised its Sydney… Next time put state first ;)
Dammit, why not Kingsford :)
Yeah! I'm surprised Kingsford didn't included given that it's in the general vicinity of Coogee and Marouba.
Yes, and that it's so close to UNSW (it's almost always busy).
Haha! Stoopid McD's and Shop-a-Docket can't even spell General Holmes Drive correctly… they've listed it as General Homes Drive!
Looks like they're appealing to general homies
No screenshot. So no deal for me.
This deal is still active.
Only available in the rich suburbs.
