An unexpected and unwelcoming note left a pregnant woman dismayed instead of her customized McDonald’s order
A pregnant woman in Maylands, Western Australia, experienced an unpleasant surprise with her McDonald’s order when what should have been a simple request turned into an unwelcome ordeal. Aiming to enjoy a sausage McMuffin without the egg, she instead received an empty wrapper accompanied by a note that left her and her partner disconcerted.
The note, rudely dismissing her order modification, read: “Sausage egg has egg, muffins, sausage, cheese, it’s no for everything, so we have just given the wrapping.” This incident, shared on Reddit by the woman’s partner, quickly attracted attention for its sheer absurdity and lack of customer service.

This confusion led to a particularly frustrating situation for the pregnant woman, who had no food to show for her order. Further adding to the confusion, the couple insists that neither the order history nor the physical receipt indicated any removal of the individual ingredients, contradicting the note’s implication.
The incident has sparked a conversation online, with many speculating about possible misunderstandings in the order process or system issues that might have led to this outcome. Regardless, the couple was left seeking answers and resolution from McDonald’s, with the pregnant woman particularly affected given her condition.
This story serves as a reminder of the importance of clear communication and customer service in the food industry, especially when dealing with customized orders. As of now, McDonald’s has been approached for comment regarding the incident, as the couple and the wider community await further clarification.
