If you catch a craving for burger and fries, McDonald’s is always a short drive away. But to ensure you get a fresh meal every time, you might need to take one extra step. Kamran Adnan, who says he worked for the fast-food chain for one year, claims the staff gives extra perks to customers who ask for a receipt. Doing so will practically guarantee you’re served the freshest food, he wrote in a Quora post.
According to Adnan, McDonald’s employees are trained to watch out for “mystery shoppers” or “Gapbusters”—people who are paid to visit McDonald’s restaurants and rate their experience—at certain points in the day. These shoppers tend to dine between 12 to 2 p.m., and 5 to 7 p.m., he says.
Because their reviews factor into the store’s rating, “every store manager will do everything to ensure this rating is as positive as possible,” Adnan said… These undercover diners are typically reimbursed for their purchase, so they will ask for a receipt. This signals to employees that they might have a “Gapbuster” on their hands. Not only will they make sure to serve that customer first, but they will also give them the freshest food possible.
While McDonald’s has not confirmed Adnan’s claims yet, it can’t hurt to ask for a receipt next time. Nothing beats a tray full of steaming hot French fries, after all. Don’t miss even more mind-blowing facts about McDonald’s.

Maybe businesses in Lynwood, CA should worry more about real diversity. Ever since Whites were chased out of Lynwood in the early 1960’s due to an influx of violent minorities the whole community has suffered. Minorities and Blacks in particular like to blame all their bad decisions in life on Whites but Whites left Lynwood long ago and when the city was taken over by Blacks it became a crime haven much like Compton and virtually every other community run by Blacks. There is nothing diverse about a town filled with people of one color all living on welfare and expecting the government to rescue them for making stupid decisions like lying on loan applications during the housing boom and then blaming Whites because they couldn’t pay the bills.

The McDonald’s that is doing this is literally owned by black women.
