Former McDonald's workers have revealed the best hacks to use at the global fast food chain to help you get your hands on freshly cooked food and secret menu items, as well as saving money.
Requesting a burger without one ingredient means staff will have to make it fresh, rather
than handing you one that's been sitting under the heat lamp, while the same trick works if you ask for unsalted fries.
You can also simply ask for a fresh food item, however, this means waiting for your order a little longer.
Requesting a receipt will make employees think you're a secret shopper, so they'll serve you the freshest food and quickly, too.
You can save money by ordering a cheap coffee and asking for a free refill of a more expensive hot drink, ordering the Happy Meal even if you're an adult and ordering a McDouble with Mac Sauce and lettuce to turn it into a Big Mac.
