But to ensure you get a fresh meal every time, you might need to take one extra step. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/copycat-mcdonalds-recipe\/\">Or you could just make these McDonald's copycat recipes.<\/a>\r\n\r\nKamran Adnan, who says he worked for the fast-food chain for one year, claims the staff gives extra perks to customers who ask for a receipt. Doing so will practically guarantee you're served the freshest food, he wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/What-are-some-favorite-McDonalds-hacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Quora post<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAccording to Adnan, McDonald\u2019s employees are trained to watch out for \u201cmystery shoppers\u201d or \u201cGapbusters\u201d\u2014people who are paid to visit McDonald\u2019s restaurants and rate their experience\u2014at certain points in the day. These shoppers tend to dine between 12 to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., he says. (<em>Psst<\/em>...did you know about these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mcdonalds-secret-menu\/\" rel=\"noopener\">McDonald's secret menu items<\/a>?)\r\n\r\nBecause their reviews factor into the store's rating, \u201cevery store manager will do everything to ensure this rating is as positive as possible,\" Adnan said. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-the-mcdonalds-menu-looked-like-the-year-you-were-born\/\">Here's what the McDonald's menu looked like the year you were born.<\/a>\r\n\r\nThese undercover diners are typically reimbursed for their purchase, so they will ask for a receipt. This signals to employees that they might have a \u201cGapbuster\u201d on their hands. Not only will\u00a0they make sure to serve that customer first, but they will also give them the freshest food possible.\r\n\r\nWhile McDonald's has not confirmed Adnan's claims yet, it can't hurt to ask for a receipt next time. Nothing beats a tray full of steaming hot French fries, after all.
