Well that’s surprising. Still, it’s incredible how many have got 5 star ratings.

I have had bad experiences with them. I tend to get them when I visit the grandkids. Last time was stone cold and rock hard but we did get a refund.
Was anyone else thinking of American Pie 1999?
Finch Gets Drugged with Laxatives
I was close to suffering that with Chinese Chow Mein. It was sickness though the day after. It was a new owner that took over the place back in 2005/6.
Thankfully I've never had McDonalds since 2001/2. KFC was nice back then. Haven't had one since. Never had an Indian. Heard too many horror stories and this one certainly hasn't helped either. Kebabs? Do supermarket ones count? Though I used to get some from the local butchers. There were healthy eating. Tasty and full of protein.
This is how I still see McDonald's.

Since when do Indian takeaways do beef meals?
Lerwick is in Scotland right? Clearly dodgy Indian food up there on a par with deep fried Mars bars.

Lerwick’s in the shetlands. Im surprised they even have Indian takeaways there.
There's one in London near Elephant and Castle that is an absolute dive.

Clearly it's not a proper Indian because Indian takeaways don't do beef meals.
Yup
I strongly suspect that the Franchise agreement with McDonalds group is probably as strong, or stronger on hygiene requirements than the local council, which combined with the way all the stores have to use certain equipment/layouts and standardised training means you're unlikely to find one with poor hygiene unless there is a real problem (and that mcdonalds themselves are likely to be doing routine checks, both known and "secret shopper" style).
A McDonalds branch that gives people food poisoning/gets shut down by the health inspectors is a huge PR issue for the company that could cost them more in one incident than the additional checks do in a year so it's worth the cost to avoid it (and for the franchise holders there is likely a clause that can revoke the franchise with little or no compensation under certain conditions).
I don't think there are many/any takeaways or restaurants in my area with less than the full rating, and most of those that fall under it tend to do so due to things like being in an older building that simply can't meet current best practices but the operators have done their utmost to mitigate any issues (one of the chippies gets top ratings in everything but IIRC something to do with a separate area for deliveries out back).

Just LOL if you pay for the meal which you then subsequently realise is sub-par or at least not up to your expected standards and then still pay again the next day (equalling two payments) or, if you had not paid for the meal up front, made two payments on the latter date (again, two payments) but there is a financial concern around paying twice for most things on the 'next day' so a review of your life choices should be underway.Is it just me or do most people eat food in the full knowledge that they'll be paying for it twice the next day?
I ordered a Beef Masala meal deal from the local Indian take away last night, the first time in over a year and i've been suffering ever since and sat here in pain.
Noobs.

Was it spicy? Maybe you have IBS.
I used to love spicy food but I can barely eat it now as I suffer the next morning.
Also chocolate seems to have the same effect.

Why do you bother with crap like this? It’s about as funny as lung cancer

Are you talking about food poisoning or ring sting?Is it just me or do most people eat food in the full knowledge that they'll be paying for it twice the next day?

OP’s just got a touch of the old Gandhi’s revenge
What did you find?
Grease everywhere, rat poo and the food just kept outside and in watery bloody buckets. Place was a state not to mention 16 of them living in two rooms and loft spaces.
