A curious customer at McDonald's decided to test out how the fast food chain would handle a unique request. Greg, who goes by the username @greg16676935420 on social media, used DoorDash to order a triple cheeseburger with all the toppings removed. He shared a screenshot of his DoorDash receipt, showing that he had asked for no ketchup, pickle, diced onion, 1/10 lb beef, mustard, regular bun, American cheese, and salt on his burger. He was excited to see how this experiment would turn out and shared his anticipation on Saturday, writing "I ordered a triple cheeseburger with everything removed. Stay tuned to see what happens."
While awaiting his delivery, Greg joked that he hoped the restaurant wouldn't mess up his order. Little did he know, the DoorDash worker had actually reached out to confirm that the customer did indeed want an empty box. Dan from DoorDash messaged, "You're gonna get an empty box...you good with that?" To which Greg responded, "Perfect, thank you."
When Greg's order arrived in a brown bag sealed with stickers that read "Your favorites sealed inside," he eagerly opened it to find...nothing. He shared a photo of the empty burger box on social media, pointing out that McDonald's had actually gotten his order correct. However, he noted that they should have put the literal "nothing burger" in a Triple Burger container instead of the McCrispy box that he received. "Somehow they still managed to screw up my order," wrote Greg, giving McDonald's a two out of five stars on DoorDash.
The total cost for Greg's unique experiment came out to $19.81, which included a waived delivery fee, $3 service fee, $0.42 in estimated tax, and an $11 tip for the delivery person. Some social media users found the whole situation amusing, with one joking, "20 USD for an empty box. Crazy!!!" Another user simply wrote, "This is hilarious!"
Greg's experiment came at a time when many McDonald's fans have been complaining about price increases. In fact, one angry customer in XX recently shared a viral video of their XX from the fast food chain. It seems that Greg's experiment may have also shed some light on the high prices at McDonald's, as his simple request for a "nothing burger" still cost him nearly $20.
