Cheeky McDonald's customer's 'cheap meal' hack goes viral
McDonald’s Australia has been unwillingly giving away food for half price, thanks to a glitch in their new self serve system.
The fast food chain has been forced to crackdown on the process after the loophole was discovered when a cheeky customer uploaded a how-to video on Facebook.
The video offered a step-by-step guide of how to manipulate the fast food giant’s new self-serve system and give them the chance to pay only $9.75 for a Family Box that would normally cost $19.95.
The video got even more attention with Facebook’s most talked about page, Fortafy, shared it to his 3.9m followers.
The video has been viewed more than 250,000 times.

The $19.95 box contains two Big Macs, two cheeseburgers, four small fries, two medium soft drinks and two large soft drinks.
A spokesman for McDonald’s told Daily Mail Australia that the issue had been resolved immediately.
“It is a new computer system and the nature of computer systems mean sometimes glitches can happen,” he said.
McDonald’s have only recently started to offer self-service in Australia.
It has been available in other countries since 2004.
The spokesman from McDonalds said they were ‘fairly confident’ there were no other glitches that would allow customers to reduce their meal price.
It's clear whether McDonald's have referred the matter to police.
