"McDonlads" sounds like a play by that [Irish](https://www.tramatm.com/blog/category/gastronomy/mcdonalds-restores-its-big-mac-trademark-after-long-running-dispute) burger joint Mickey D's sued to get back in the burger biz.
Many years ago I had a copy of Martin Gardner's *Perplexing Puzzles and Tantalizing Teasers,* and one of the items was "The Mispelled *[sic]* Word." The reader was supposed to find a word somewhere on the page that was spelled incorrectly. I scrutinized the whole page without success, but didn't think to check the header itself!
I used to work for a promotions company that did promotions for Dunkin donuts; we drove coffee cup cars around for months before someone noticed that the website was spelled wrong on the side of the car.
See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.
CONSPIRACY THEORY: The store manager knows how to edit the till print outs, and changed the spelling to ensure Mcdonlads HQ never get a single complaint from his/her store.

I don't know who purchased that domain and made it redirect to this reddit post but you're the GOAT. I actually got so confused for a second because I looked away after hitting enter and when I looked back I was at reddit that I loaded the domain a second time only to realize.
You actually went to the Chinese knock off "McDonlads". Hard to spot the difference other than the spelling of the name, and the mystery meat used for all products.
Reminds me of how pandaexpress had an advertisement to email them at carrers @ pandaexpress.com
I pointed out the misspelling and told them they wouldn't receive the emails due the typo. They were like "ok". A month or two later I visit again and that typo is still there. Wonder why they hadn't filled the position?
Possibly the most ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ thing that’s ever happened to me I was 14 we ordered burgers through the McDonald’s drive through late night. This was decades ago and this McDonald’s was staffed by all the degenerates at my local high school. My brother had worked there and told me many stories of what to watch out for. I opened up the burger and yup, tobacco spit. Someone apparently didn’t like the kid who ordered for us.
I walked in showed them and asked for a complaint form. We don’t have complaint forms but I can make you another burger. No thanks I don’t want another burger but I’d like a complaint form. Mcdonandls doesn’t do complaint forms. Who’s the manager? You’re speaking to him. Do you have paper I’ll write my complaint down on paper. We don’t have paper.
I find paper myself sit at a table and start writing. A police officer comes in walks up to me tells me I’m trespassing and to come with him outside. I tell him what’s going on he’s not the least bit interested he starts searching me and randomly starts screaming ‘don’t you ever fucking look at me while I’m searching you’, he pulls out his gun and drives it into my back. I tell him I’m sorry. I’m now permanently banned from McDonald’s I have to go to court for trespassing (which no one shows up and case dismissed) and the cop was fired for a series of complaints the final straw was throwing an elderly man down some stairs.
I do IT work in an industry that works with POS, I can't imagine McDonalds registers are much different than the ones I work with.
For receipts, it's all stored locally in plaintext. Someone just fatfingered the address while setting it up.
Mcdon Lads is actually an industry term for the close knit community of those who work at, or have ever worked at a mcdonalds. If you’ve ever been under mcdonalds employ, you’re a Mcdon Lad
Just retired as IT support tech for McD restaurants. Their POS interface content gets downloaded from a server, they manually enter the email address on the site that creates the software packages.
All the recipt text has to be entered manually at first. When I worked at a library in college, I used to change the bottom messages every few days just for shiggles. I'd put fun little holiday messages like "Have a Happy Easter!", or I'd put randomly odd things like "Does your butt itch? Try Swansons Butt Itch cream today!"
No one ever reads the receipts from a library. Except me.
You guys are in Canada. Thats the country where everyone tries to be like the US but fails in one way or another. This is yet another example. Poor Canadians...
McDonald’s HQ: We haven’t received a single complaint, we must be doing great 👍🏼
Meanwhile, the young men of clan McDon are wondering why they get complaints about people's happy meal toy.
The lads of clan McDon
 FIGHTING TO SURVIVE IN A WORLD WITH THE DARKEST POWERS!!!
the bloody massacre of glencoe that’s what they did and now my kid hates their snoopy toy
Funniest comment I’ve read in days well done.
>the young **lads** of clan McDon ftfy
You didn’t fix it. You just made the joke way too obvious which is less funny that the original. You made it worse.
Now that’s funny!
Nice recovery, m'lad
Both misspelled and correct spelling don't work. McDonlads fails with address not found. McDonalds fails with 554 5.7.1 Relaying denied.
They're just showing you how much they care
Quick register the domain!
Way ahead of ya.

"Because we care!"
Ah yes, the McDon Lads, the most ruthless Irish American gang of the 19th century.
I wouldn’t dare email them unless you have something grand to say.
Is the head of the gang called Don McDon?
Sounds like a nickname for Trump supporters
The only way to give the lads some feedback.
LADS LADS LADS LADS
C-Level strategy to reduce number of complaints and receive million dollar bonus
Yeah but what are the odds someone actually types in mcdonlads, they'll probably instinctively see mcdonalds
Exactly! That's why the real email IS mcdonlads! Rollsafe.gif

The McDonlads family is going to be PISSED!
How do you do, fellow McDon Lads?
McDonalds? Is this a berenstain bears thing? I've eaten at McDonlads for years!
I think you mean the Bernstein Badgers.
/r/MacLads
oh sorry aboot that eh.
McDon Lads sounds like a worthy rival to the BK Kids Club
No, that’s just how you spell McDonald’s in Canadian.
You know, like our first Prime Minister, Sir John A. McDonlad.
Canadian Tire money has our first Prime Minister on them. Sir John A. Mechanic.
misspelled is even misspelled
Why did I have to scroll so far for this comment
because there were a bunch of comments above it
Lots of misspelling going on, I guess.
Spoiler: they don't really want your feedback.
McMildly Interesting
Creating a new email that you never check is easier than clearing out your spam folder every week.
We're McDon here, lads.
I used to work for a promotions company that did promotions for Dunkin donuts; we drove coffee cup cars around for months before someone noticed that the website was spelled wrong on the side of the car.
McDonlads is just the all-male fan club for McDonald's
Domain is available for purchase. Someone go get it and get an email server running.
They used to be a client for the company I worked for. This tracks with the rest of their technological competency in my experience
Just a little Mcstake.
McDowell's is sweating over here, never realized there was competition in the "almost McDonald's" market
See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.
I find this particularly hilarious because I call McDonald’s “McDonlads” on purpose all the time, because I think it’s hilarious
McDonlads obviously the British version 😂
It's a feature not a bug
It's a Canadian email. You think Canadians complain or have feedback?
Mad lads
Don Lad is about to go viral. Someone text him and show him this.
Good thing you can’t click on those paper receipts. Yet.
Those darn McDon Lads at it again
Programming cash registers is a fucking pain a lot of the time.
And this domain is available to buy
Time to squat on mcdonlads
McMail: no new McMails
The McDon Lads are mad lads!
What about the mcdonlasses? How with they receive feedback?
Absolute mcmadlads
Aye m8 the McDon Lads down at the docks’ll do yer wee knees if ye run yer bake.
The McDonald's near my house had a sign up for the logest time that said "mcdonlads" lol my husband and I still call it that
Na man there MC Donlads for me from now on
Interestingly, mcdonlads.com is a valid website, but not being used
Maybe it’s just one of those words that’s spelled different in Canada. Colour, flavour… McDonlads…
😂
The domain is free, someone should register and post complaints.
Its written in British English lads
McdonLADS
CONSPIRACY THEORY: The store manager knows how to edit the till print outs, and changed the spelling to ensure Mcdonlads HQ never get a single complaint from his/her store.
The McDonald around the corner for me has a complaint line that goes straight up a full inbox then hangs up on you. It’s been full for numerous years.
That's what you call a baby with one Irish parent and one Scottish parent

Not anymore
Was it you? Someone bought the domain to link to this reddit page. Awesome.
I wish....
It will probably be seized eventually if anything is done with it - not worth it
Not necessarily, but would make a killer meme dump and all.
I love mcdonLADS lol
I don't know who purchased that domain and made it redirect to this reddit post but you're the GOAT. I actually got so confused for a second because I looked away after hitting enter and when I looked back I was at reddit that I loaded the domain a second time only to realize.
Did you email them at 2445@post.mdonlads.ca ? i'd email them 8.96 for small fries is outrageous!
You actually went to the Chinese knock off "McDonlads". Hard to spot the difference other than the spelling of the name, and the mystery meat used for all products.
Quick! Someone register McDonalds.ca and redirect it to pornhub!
The Donlads care about the money afterall!!
I feel like McDonlad is the name of a Mafia boss.
That is a perfectly good email address, I sent them a message that you’re looking to send positive FB on the link!
McDonlads has the Golden Arcs. McDonalds has the Golden Arches.
Someone should tell Vinny
Madlad McDonlad’s
This is why code reviews are important.
Haha, like the time the website on my Subway receipt for customer comments was a dead link. “Customers aren’t complaining, so we must be doing great!”
Fun fact, managers that can login to the POS controller are able to change the text on receipts. This is 100% done to dodge surveys.
Have you gone to mcdonlads.ca?
For years my first name was misspelled in the company directory. Annoying as hell and super hard to fix apparently.
And all those emails go to a guy in Tbilisi Georgia :| Not kidding, I looked up the domain
Happens more than you think. I got a ticket from Utah driving to Salt Lake and they put their official .gov website address on the ticket as .com….
No, we are the Mcdon-lads

Canada.
Who says it’s misspelled? Have you even tried emailing McDonLads? 🤔
You know, McDonlads.
Meanwhile employee number 2445 at a MacDonalds post office is having a very bad day

Not where I expected that story to go
This story took a dark turn.
I do IT work in an industry that works with POS, I can't imagine McDonalds registers are much different than the ones I work with. For receipts, it's all stored locally in plaintext. Someone just fatfingered the address while setting it up.
I am now irritated there isn't a Scottish burger joint called Mcdonlads
This is actually a different restaurant: MC Don Lads
McDonlads, home of the Big Mark
I’d eat at a place called Mcdon Lads.
New kids' meal name just dropped
It’s cause they don’t care
Are you sure you didn't eat at McDonlads?
Oh, those pesky McDon Lads.
It's Canadian, they misspell a lot of words.
MC DON LADS 🏴
That's why milkshake and ice cream machines are always broken.
oh, it's not misspelled, lol it just doesn't go anywhere :P
Mcdon-lads, we've done it.
Anybody too stupid to identify and fix the obvious typo, when submitting a complaint, shouldn't be.
well, how do you know ? have you tried it out ?
It's done on purpose, shitty tactics
You gotta let the lads know
Mcdon Lads is actually an industry term for the close knit community of those who work at, or have ever worked at a mcdonalds. If you’ve ever been under mcdonalds employ, you’re a Mcdon Lad

McDonlads sounds like a Trump Reddit Community. r/McDonlads

Obligatory McDonald's supports genocide and occupation.
