  • Funny for sure but nowhere near worth the effort

    • feel sorry for the kids behind the register …it’s someone’s son or daughter trying to make some pocket money and some of these kids struggle with non std orders as it’s just a part time job and then with non std orders have to get the manager

      • +3

        I'm sorry but that's just part of the job description.

  • So can this hack be done with a McChicken?

  • +11

    The real cost of this is >$10 for someone with social anxiety

    • +1

      Don’t go to your regular maccas, go to one further wear a mask and dark glasses, buy 2 bring your own cheese and mustard!

      Enjoy the savings!

  • Can someone provide a list of ingredits and costs.

    1/4 Pattie. 2.25

    Bun. 75

  • +4

    Awesome hack, take my upvote :) A bit sus though don’t think op actually committed to it, because that would yield a receipt instead of a photo of mid-ordering. Prove me wrong please 😛

  • +1

    My app has no option to order just patty and bun on own tho instead showing $5.35 for nothing after removing everything

    • +4

      You can't order it in the app

  • +2

    Gold 😅😂
    What a great first post!

  • +4

    lol! have +1 for the description alone!

    although this is still $3 too dear once you factor in colonoscopy and other out of pocket costs further down the track

    • he DIDNT add pickles to $3 thho

      • yah that's the barebones burger we're talking here

        although the true barebones burger is just the patty alone

        • A patty alone, doesn't qualify to be called a 'burger'.

          The bed completes the definition ;-)

  • +1

    All the humour aside, how do you actually order this for this to become a deal? no instructions/steps in the OP

    • +1

      i have tried app too.. no.luck

    • A cashier has to do it. Cant be done at kiosk or app

      • -1

        Thanks then that needs to be in title

  • Beef mince, Aldi brioche buns, coles burger sauce/cheese, a lettuce, tomato and onion, so goddam good.

  • No thanks to fried burger, I much prefer Grill'd burgers.

  • Simultaneously a new high, and low.

    Im all for it.

  • +1

    I like the hack where you bring your own cheese from home and save a dollar or more

  • +2

    OP is Robin Quarterhood!

    “Stealing” from the rich, delivering the concept to the poor!

  • dinner sorted. thanks op!

  • Why bother when HJ burgers regularly show up on the app for $5? (salad, onion and tomato inc).

    It's not bad if you're in desp need for a snack though.

  • do I need the mcD app for it?

    • +4

      No you have to talk to a human at the counter to order this

      • +4

        Talk to a human? Deal breaker.

      • But the photo in description is from the self service machine?

        • +2

          No its the drive thru window screen

  • +2

    McD stocks after this hack 📉

  • +1

    How exactly does one do this?

    • no mc happy meal at maccas gaza at the moment,

      • no pride flags either

  • +1

    OzB needs awards for deal of the year

  • +15

      Absolute mad lad.

  • Can you get free ketchup and free pickles with this deal?

    • Yes ketchup is free.
      Pickles didnt work for me. THey said they dont have such item

  • Didn’t work

  • Sharing these kind of loopholes mean they usually don't last very long as the company will catch on quickly. Before you know it, they'll be charging the price of a whole burger just for the patty when selected without a burger for example..

    • +1

      Don't think it's a loophole, have been able to do this for at least 10 years. On very rare occasions I've bought just the chicken patty as dog food when traveling.
      Also just asked for M&M toppings for a handful of M&M's, Cashier has never hesitated so I'm not the only one.

  • +1

    Where’s the cheese?

  • +1

    Never change, OzBargain.

  • +2

    Should we arrange a day where we ALL go to Maccas and order this one??

    3rd December??

    We shall smash this one out of the park…

  • Anyone know what the McCrispy chicken breasts cost?

  • ill go to hjs where phone is fine

  • I bought a $2 cheese burger via app then at the counter I asked for pickles and they said no.

    • I know pickles are free .if you can get them

  • Would this vary by state? I tried in SA the other day, bought a hamburger and asked to add a 1/4 pounder patty on the side. He was silent for a second, then said it's not possible. Then I asked if he was sure, and he said yes. Then there was awkward silence for 10 seconds. Then I said thanks anyway and left.

    Did he have no clue what he was doing? Is there instructions I need to give them next time to avoid the akwardness?

    • +3

      Some of the staff are newer and don't know how to process orders for just patties. One of my friends is a total gymbro and only thing he gets at McDonald's is the McChicken patties and I have heard him tell the employees what buttons they need to press on the screen to add the item on more than a few occasions. Some of them think that he used to work at McDonald's lol

      • Haha amazing. I was also getting it as a post workout snack. I’ll try again next time I feel like Maccas, might have to ask for someone more experienced if they say no again.
