McDonald's McDonald’s Mildura & Irymple has further extended their Small McCafe & Medium Soft Drink offer for our healthcare workers to now include Cheeseburgers.

Redeemable in-restaurant or drive-thru.

Who is a healthcare worker?
Anyone working in our hospitals/medical centres caring for patients:

Paramedics, doctors, nurses
General practioners
Pathology, Aged care and Home Care workers.
Healthcare workers need to be in official uniform, show hospital ID cards or business card.

A big thank you to our frontliners for your continued support during this pandemic!

Update 23 April 2:30pm: McDonald's employees claim that the offer is meant to be nationwide, yet from comments and reports, not every store is honouring this offer (yet).
Please note that this deal is very poorly marketed by McDonald's, however our employee portal specifically states that this deal is active - please ask for the manager if the employees do not know about this promotion

      My local Maccas franchises have always provided free food to the police here for years.

        so much hate for police in this thread… unbelievable…

        they have a much harder job than health care workers yet are being ignored in most of these offers.

        I'm guessing Andrew Wilson and Brendan Murphy can claim this though…

      How about some free cheeseburgers for our police force McDonald's… They're doing it a big harder today than the nursers sitting around the water cooler at our local clinic which is pretty much empty these days

        Maybe in a forum topic though, this thread is to discuss cheesburgers for nurses.

          No thanks. As a normal person, I'm not against the idea of a megacorporation giving a free $2 burger to healthcare workers during a pandemic, that's all.

      all macca's. Only referenced to Mildura & Irymple because it was the only social media post the moderators were able to find. Poor marketing, the cheeseburger is not displayed on its website or own social media handle anywhere.

      • magster on 23/04/2020 - 10:38

        It’s definitely not all maccas. I saw the post yesterday (which was later deleted by the mod due to not enough information). My husband tried (he’s a doctor), and there was no free cheeseburger on offer, only the free drinks.

                @jv: Have you ever sat with a doctor and done the math? I actually have, as one of my clients is one (I fix her PC).

                Lets say they charge $100 on top of the $3X Medicare payment
                lets be generous and round that math up to $150.

                Statistically, non bulk billers get long appointments so lets say in a typical 8 hour day, they see 10 patenits.

                So, we make $1500 a day before tax.

                Then you have safety equipment,reception staff, reception consumables (paper, sanitizer, toner etc), in-house testing equipment, cleaning (expensive for medical locations), maintenance of monitoring equipment, rent in a 'prime location, not to mention any good doctor will continue to upskill (mine does) so he constantly has education fees, despite being one of the most qualified in the state.

                Ive seen 'the books' for more than just my client, in the medical industry.

                you're fair to say they are 'well off' but rolling in it

                Your average middle to upper management position would be making more take-home dollars, usually.

                  done the math?

                  Yep, our GP gets $80 for 10 mins.

                  Kids's allergist got $300 x 2 to do allergy tests on my kids (5 mins each)

                  • MasterScythe on 23/04/2020 - 12:05

                    @jv: Well, hand in your Ozb licence, because you're seeing a ripoff.

                    I personally have seen an allergist and immunologist, both free at my local hospital.
                    And both voluntary, for extreme hayfever.

                    Also, that is genuinely a very high GP rate, you'll find bulk billers exist for 'free' also, if the issue is minor enough that a 10min visit will fix it.

                    I only see my $100 an hour GP if its something I cant self diagnose and then just confirm with a bulk biller.

                    You're not shopping the best bargain here, sorry!

                    Also, you have done the math?
                    Were they really that forthcoming with their myob details to a usual client? Or is it a family friend.

      I disagree. All of them have been warning about balance and diet.

      Id argue theyve been warning about having maccas too often, not just once or twice. And especially of you're on your way to a high intencity shift with lots of carb burning.

    • miq on 23/04/2020 - 12:42

      Medical practitioners =/= nurses tho. Quite a few nurses I know or have met have been very overweight and seem to care less about their own health than others in their industry… drinking heavily, eating unhealthy foods etc.

        Theoretical macdonalds staff/franchisee; I imagine

          Nah, I imagine it's the same health care worker, or a pair working together in multiple trips. One strategy sees them testing the per person limit, but another sees them donning ever more ingenious disguises.

          Saying that, I would imagine taking 100 cheeseburgers would be more efficient than 100 hot, spillable drinks. Like the saying goes, "you can run with a cheeseburger but you can't with a coffee".
