Subject: Complaint Regarding the Fillet-O-Fish Cheese Portion
Dear McDonald’s Head Office,
I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the way the Fillet-O-Fish sandwich is being prepared. I recently discovered that McDonald’s serves this item with only half a slice of cheese.
As a paying customer, I find this unacceptable. When I order a sandwich that includes cheese, I expect a full slice, not half. It feels misleading to charge full price for an item that is, quite literally, only half-delivered.
I have always enjoyed McDonald’s products, but this decision feels like an unnecessary cost-cutting measure that compromises both quality and customer satisfaction. I can’t believe how low the standard has stooped — it’s disappointing to see such a well-known brand make choices that frustrate loyal customers.
I hope McDonald’s will reconsider this policy and return to using a full slice of cheese in the Fillet-O-Fish, as it should be.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Customer

Subject: McDonald’s Has Completely Lost Its Standards
Dear McDonald’s Canada Leadership,
I’m writing this letter out of pure frustration and disappointment. McDonald’s used to be dependable — clean, consistent, and cared-for. Now it’s a disaster. Every visit feels like an uphill battle: cold fries, missing items, dirty tables, sticky floors, and staff who clearly don’t care. What happened?
The McDonald’s brand used to mean something. It was fast, friendly, and reliable. Today, most locations are chaotic and disorganized, with zero pride in service or product quality. Orders are constantly wrong, drive-thru lines crawl for ages, and when you finally get your meal, it looks and tastes like no one bothered to check it before handing it out.
This isn’t just bad luck — it’s leadership failure. Somewhere along the line, the company stopped caring about its reputation and its customers. There’s no accountability, no supervision, and no sense of urgency to fix the problem. Instead, you’ve allowed a culture of indifference to replace the basic standards that once defined the Golden Arches.
After years of loyal visits, I’m done. McDonald’s has become the opposite of what it built its name on. I refuse to keep supporting a company that’s fallen so far from the values it once stood for — quality, consistency, and respect for its customers.
You need to take a hard look at what’s going on inside your stores, retrain your teams, and restore the pride that made McDonald’s a global icon. Until then, you’ve lost another lifelong customer.
Sincerely,
All Canadians
