      Every one of these free giveaways for healthcare workers is inevitably followed up by posts of "why not me"

        which are all valid…

        Healthcare workers are probably one of the few industries that are in full employment and fully paid at the moment… Maccas should instead be trying to help people who are in need, not those who can afford to pay for this coffee…

        Why not give a free coffee to hospitality workers who aren't working now and not getting paid ???

          I do not think your comments and recommendations are reaching the right stakeholders. Try https://mcdonalds.com.au/contact-us to try get a better deal.

          @jv every time I see your name pop up on here I can't help but wonder who hurt you to make you lead such a pessimistic existence. It's like you're Eeyore incarnate

          Because it's pandering for good will and marketing to those who are "relevant" in the fight against covid. They've excluded parts of the healthcare workforce who are actually struggling at the moment because of movement restrictions and downturn in trade but are still there because they're needed (physio, optometrists, pharmacists, dentists) and excluded a lot of industries that are keeping everything moving at the moment. (Truck drivers, teachers, aged care workers, covid marshals, covid testing site workers who aren't nurses/pathologists)

        • Cheapskatefish on 02/08/2021 - 15:35

          Hahaha I kinda agree with this guy, and I'm a HCW. But don't forget, just cos you're vaccinated, doesn't mean you can't catch it and doesn't mean your family members who you're coming home to are vaccinated

        • Sweetnsour on 02/08/2021 - 17:08

          hospitality workers who aren't working now and not getting paid ???<

          Not working but getting the $600 or soon to be $750 pw covid payments.

          Compare that to an working aged care nurse with $1300pw??

          • jv on 02/08/2021 - 17:19

          It is not clear whether the deal can only be redeemed in NSW by any healthcare worker, or if only NSW healthcare workers can claim the deal anywhere in Australia.

          It is poorly worded…

            @jv: It's pretty clearly worded to include only doctors, nurses and paramedics in NSW.

              @Trance N Dance: So it includes healthcare workers from other states?

                  @bonus999: I read that, but do the healthcare workers have to be from NSW or any healthcare works that are working in NSW ???

                    @jv: What part of in is confusing? The way it is worded, any doctor, nurse or paramedic physically present in NSW qualifies.

                      They may be 'doctors in NSW' that are now practicing in VIC.

  • Imposter on 02/08/2021 - 12:58

    Please edit: in New South Wales only

    A free medium soft drink.. couldn't even cough up the extra 2 cents to make it a large.

    Like I get they don't have to do this but still.

    • Trance N Dance on 02/08/2021 - 13:09

      Well there is the argument to be made that they're being health conscious.

      • pennypincher98 on 02/08/2021 - 13:17

        Wonder if you can swap it for an OJ or if that costs too much lol

        • Trance N Dance on 02/08/2021 - 15:41

          Not that OJ is any healthier than some soft drinks.

            @Trance N Dance: Debatable. The McD orange juice tastes like long life golden circle which isn't any healthier lol but quality OJ has natural sugars far healthier than sucrose or artificial sweeteners.

      It's meant to promote Macca's but just highlights their stingy contribution imo.

      • popsiee on 02/08/2021 - 13:36

        Basically an essential worker with any value of time not going to move 5m out of their way for this great offer .

    • jv on 02/08/2021 - 13:53

      Like I get they don't have to do this but still.

      They worked out that they will still get it posted on Ozbargain for the free publicity regardless…

      So if they can save 2 cents, they will…

    • Chicken Kyiv on 02/08/2021 - 15:31

      that delicious post-mix..

  • Oz em on 02/08/2021 - 15:27

    They couldn’t give them a large coffee? I don’t know any coffee drinkers who get small.

  • Alzori on 02/08/2021 - 17:00

    It's a nice gesture I guess, but it feels like they're offering the minimum they can to get you there and hoping most people will buy other stuff. Like, if people are making the effort to take themselves all the way to Macca's they won't be sated by a coke, they'll want chips or a burger at least to go with it.

    • Trance N Dance on 02/08/2021 - 18:09

      If anything it's more likely they're targeting people with disposable income and some dignity so they don't just take the freebie and look like a scrimp but will buy something to go with the freebie.

    also for seniors with a seniors card who spend $4
