Macca’s sorry for cheese stick fail

YOU had one job, McDonald’s. Angry customers have flooded social media with pictures of the burger chain’s disappointing new product.

Customers rage over Maccas fail

“YOU had one job.”

That was the cry from McDonald’s customers in the US, who took to social media after purchasing the fast food chain’s much-hyped Mozzarella Cheese Sticks — only to find they had forgotten the cheese.

Here are just a few examples, courtesy of Consumerist:

@McDonalds went thru the drive thru ordered 2 boxes of mozzarella sticks. Where's the cheese? Pls look into this.

After initially playing down the debacle, McDonald’s was forced to apologise as customers posted a deluge of photos of the hollowed out sticks.

“We are aware of a low volume of guest concerns about our Mozzarella Cheese Sticks,” a spokeswoman told the Chicago Tribune.

“In these instances, we believe the cheese melted out during the baking process in our kitchens and shouldn’t have been served. We apologise to any customers who may have been affected. We are working to fix this in our restaurants.”

McDonald’s introduced the cheesy treats to its menu late last year as part of the fast food giant’s turnaround plan, along with lobster rolls, chorizo breakfast bowls and made-to-order salads.
