HUNGRY HACK

I’m a McDonald’s worker – here’s how to get an even bigger Big Mac for less money

A MCDONALD’s worker has revealed the ultimate hack for ordering an even better Big Mac - and it somehow costs less than the standard one.

As one of the fast food chain’s most popular menu items, most customers don’t want to rock the boat and edit their standard order.

But a colleague at a Scottish branch has a top secret tip for how to level up your Big Mac.

They said: “For building off the menu, if you were to order two double cheeseburgers and ask for them to have Big Mac sauce and lettuce on them, that’s actually cheaper than buying a Big Mac.

"Plus, you’re basically getting the same thing but with two extra bits of meat on it.”

The staff member also has some advice on how to get bonus chicken nuggets.

He added: “Also this one is probably more well known but loads of people will come through in a pair and order either two six chicken nuggets meals or two nine nugget meals.

“But it’s cheaper in both cases to get one 20 nuggets - which you could ask to be split over two boxes if you wanted - two chips and two drinks. 

“It’s cheaper than two six nugget meals and you end up getting eight more nuggets."

The same colleague previously revealed the sneaky way that staff get their revenge on rude customers.

As with any fast food job, servers often encounter frustrated folk who moan that their meal is taking too long.

But when they are particularly nasty, it doesn’t go unpunished.

The favourite method of payback is making sure that their fries have been sabotaged in some way.

A colleague, who works in a Scottish McDonald's branch, told us: “If a customer is annoying or rude they’ll get s***e chips.

“Either the ones that have been sitting for ages or ones with no salt.

“I’ll do that loads if they phone up and are cheeky about a delivery they’re waiting for.

“Mainly because then they’re stuck with them.”
