Customers Share Their Worst McDonald's Orders On This Instagram Account (40 Pics)
Interview
Let’s face it - we’ve all ordered food that ended up looking quite different from the pictures on the menu. Many of these encounters might have happened at a place like McDonald’s. Despite providing great comfort food and having pretty high quality control, even this famous company faces some human error at times.
For our entertainment, many of these times have been documented on an Instagram account called McSenget. Check out all of these pictures customers have shared and try to pick the saddest burger ever.

So... I actually work at a Mcdonald's in Minnesota, and seeing these pictures literally makes me cringe... I know some employees that do this stuff and it's so disgusting it's not even funny. I actually have a story of something I saw while working. One day I was working on the grill and "Dave" (fake name) was working on fries. We don't wear gloves while dealing with fries so if any fries touch our hands then it just goes back into the batch with all the others... it's pretty disgusting. I was just minding my own business when I looked at "dave" and what I saw I can never unsee. He sneezed WITHOUT COVERING and sneezed ALL OVDER THE DAMN FRIES!! he looked around to see if anyone noticed, and just kept on doing his thing as if nothing happened. This was a HUGE DEAL for us and I couldn't just stay quiet, let's just say he got fired pretty fast and what sucks is that I was the one who had to clean the entire fry station... I've seen other things that grossed me out but this was the worse!!
When asked about the origins of McSenget, the creators of the Instagram account told Bored Panda:
“We used to go to McDonald's regularly after our band practices, and we’d often end up with senget (tilted in Malay) burgers. This is especially annoying when it comes to Filet-O-Fish—you won't be able to align the burger without destroying it when the buns are so soft and the cheese practically 'glues' the parts together. With that, we’d often end up having a less enjoyable experience as we may have bites where there is no cheese or even the fish.
Since then, we started a Facebook album as a venture to document the types of burgers we get whenever we order McDonald's, both the senget ones and the perfect ones (super rare). Eventually, we decided to shift to Instagram as McSenget to share our laughter and pain with a bigger crowd.”

This reminds me of a vegetarian friend who used to order a big mac without the beef because she liked the sauce.

Okay so they made a mistake? They make like 100 orders an hour, nobody is perfect. I also got a wrap once that was missing meat, they replaced it immediately and also gave me a free drink as an apology. Jesus Christ.

I can relate to this one. I ordered a quarter pounder one time and got everything EXCEPT the meat.

Honestly, I'll order one of those maybe with a bit less meat.
“Followers usually submit their entries via DMs, tagging us in their IG stories or via email,” the team of McSenget told us. “We prefer to have entries with multiple photos—photo of the burger in the box, and when they are picked up (no munching before that please). This helps us to determine if the burgers are intentionally altered in order to be featured (yes, we do go into CSI mode to determine the authenticity of out-of-this-world burgers). We do receive a number of submissions on a daily basis, and we get about 3-5 bad burgers each day. As we are Singapore-based, we have many local submissions, but we are also starting to see more submissions across the globe.”
McSenget shared that for their 100th post, they have hunted down the top 5 outlets in Singapore with the highest incidence of senget burgers based on fan submission: “We ordered the most senget burgers from these outlets on the same day to judge for ourselves. It was really fun and some outlets really never fail!”

No hon, this is NOT what I meant when I asked for cheese on the side
PixieDustForTheLostOnes 3 years ago
Beautiful. A piece of art. A Picasso in the making. And because a cow aided in the making of the cheese (and the hamburger), I'm going to throw in a pun (don't hate me!): A Picowso in the making.
Like the team mentioned, Filet-O-Fish is usually the worst burger, but it’s sure not the only one: “Every burger seems to have a signature way to mess up—like how McSpicy usually comes with lettuce scattered around the box. We also started noticing a new trend—Cheese Slap, where the cheese somehow ends up ON the burger instead of being inside the burger. It is really funny because there's really nothing else you can do but to enjoy that 1 bite full of cheese.”

WHERE'S THE BUN????? YOU CAN'T HAVE A CHEEZBURGER WITHOUT THE BOTTOM BUN!!!!!
McSenget's team consists of 6 people, ranging from their mid-20s to early 30s: “Our common interests are burgers (of course!), and laughing through our pain. We all have our full-time jobs and are running this page as our interest.” Following the success of their Instagram account, McSenget has even launched their merch: “We started selling merch since July, featuring the very first cheese slap burger we received. We will produce more merch in time to come!”

Or the bun is having an allergic reaction to the cheese.

I haven't had a McDonald's cheeseburger where the cheese wasn't cold in forever. And the standard for fries now is limp, not hot and crispy, even when I ask for them to be very hot.
Christopher Bowers 4 years ago
I would be more concerned about the bun. Is it mold? Is it bird crap? Is it coke the forgot to snort off for the 80+ hour shifts like that one wendy's article?

I remember one time I asked for my 2 Cheeseburger meal with the sandwiches plain. 1 was correct. The other had everything on it. Took it back to get it corrected. Got the 2nd sandwich. Open the package and I had cheese sandwich. Took THAT back and was so frustrated I couldn't help but laugh. FINALLY got it right. But SMH

Ordered a Burger King Whopper with MUSTARD AND MAYONNAISE. Got a bun with mustard and mayonnaise . . . and that's all.

Oddly, I usually remove the center bun piece, scrape the sauce off it and make myself a "MiniMac." (I'm hypoglycemic and all that bread makes my glucose go nuts but I do like one of these on occasion.)

What is with the Filet o'fish & the skimpy bit of cheese? Do they really save that much on cheese?

This is the correct portion of cheese for that burger, its ever written on the menu.

It's not that they won't replace it. It's that people get them at the drive through and open them at home.

I asked for extra tartar on my Filet-O-Fish and it looked just like this. My guess is someone is tired of special orders.
Linda Roy 4 years ago
Nope. Just scrape off the excess tartar sauce and it'll be fine

True story, but I’ll understand if you don’t believe me. This happened at a Wendy’s. I walked into the restaurant and when it came time to place my order at the counter, I ordered one “Double Stack,” which is Wendy’s 2-patty cheeseburger. By default it comes loaded with lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard and ketchup. The cashier asked me “What would you like on that?” to see if I wanted to add bacon, etc. I replied, “Just cheese.” She looked puzzled and echoed “Just cheese?” I nodded yes and she took my order. My order arrived in the usual paper bag, I paid and walked to my table. When I unwrapped my burger, it consisted of a bun with one slice of American cheese. Ok, maybe this person was new or recently had a brain tumor removed, so I returned to the counter and showed my “burger” to a different server. One major eye roll and a spirited “teaching moment” ensued, after which I was compensated with a fresh, proper cheeseburger. I know I’m very fortunate while many are not, but c’mon.
