    I was at my local one just before 7 and I was already the second customer. There's signs up everywhere about it and you just ask for whichever one you want and they hand it to you for free. No strings at all. I pass 3 of them on the way to work so there's now 3 bacon and egg mcmuffins in me, minus the muffin and cheese parts which are in my bin. :)

    Given its advertised in the individual branches and on national radio I reckon something like " can I please have my free (insert choice), thanks for that"

    Just got my mcmuffin. Never had one until now. Nice tack but I won't be stopping especially in future! Coffee is good mind you!

    im in that kylemore branch every morning for coffee on the way to work so I didn't go in just for the free mcmuffin - but I will say I have never seen it that busy in the mornings and there would only ever be a few cars going through the drive-thru in the mornings . saw a guy bring his kids in still in their pj's

    Chaos at the one on Belgard road with all the cars at the drive thru backing up out onto the road outside and bringing normal traffic to a standstill ... saw the traffic cops heading that way a minute ago..

    I must say it's a fantastic way to alienate your regular customers who now have to queue for 15 mins instead of 15 seconds for a coffee. Bravo

    People would queue 30 mins for €2.

    Humans are fascinating.

    Yup. I get a coffee every morning before work. I'd rather pay extra to get one in Costa, than stand in the queue outside the McDonald's.

    While your getting one ask for a sense of humer while your in there , I enjoyed mine it was meant as a joke, maybe too early got you.

    Well after watching numerous school kids just skip the queue and join their friends at the top of the queue for 10 mins I had enough and left. Currently enjoying a coffee in insomnia ... and I think this will be my new regular spot

    Not €2, It was €2.60 last time I got one a few weeks ago if I remember correctly.

    I did a drive by of Maynooth on the way to work but there was a massive queue so I kept driving. It wasn't worth it.

    Got mine after a 15 minute wait in the drive through. Delicious but the place was rammed & the cars are queued up about 150 yards for the drive through

    The local McDonnalds in Swords (and surrounding areas) are all owned by a local husband and wife (think they own 5 of them) and I assume their staff reside in Ireland (unless they've automated it and it's outsourced to India or somewhere)... Is this not supporting local business?

    I'd be fair pissed off if my route to work was blocked by tight arsed people not even bothered to get out of their car to walk into the place FFS.

    The only good local coffee shops are in town or worse in affluent suburbs with substandard coffee at exorbitant prices no thanks if you can find a good cup of coffee for a reasonable price i would be interested.

    Walked in the Mc Donalds in Galway on Shop Street and had my Mc Muffin within a minute :D

    Can't say it was very tasty but It was well worth the price :D
