Quick update on my McDonald's salad fan post the other day in case anyone's interested.
Since I don't post daily which makes it harder for people to know when there's a new one, I've taken to sharing the link on FB and Twitter once a new post goes live. That's precisely what I did on Wednesday after raving about my McD's salad experience.
A few hours later I got a DM requesting my address so they could send me a little something as thanks, then today since I happened to be working from home I was here when this showed up:
I sense many return trips to McDonald's in the weeks and months to come. A week ago, that's a sentence I'd never write. Congrats on your new, healthy options, your great social media team, and going that extra mile for your customers.

A colleague at work had some extra time Thursday morning so he read the blog which got us talking about the salads. I told him they really were as good as I'd made them out to be and told him we should go at lunch so he could give it a whirl. Our two soon became three, and we took a lovely walk down to our local for salad.
@McD_Canada Taking some friends to try them at lunch! And loving the option to have them DELIVERED FOR FREE to my office! Nice.

Sure enough, they really enjoyed them as well! And I got to try the harvest one with fruit and stuff and happy to say it's pretty danged good, too.

Even brought one back for the boss and SHE liked it, too! She hated, however, the pic I took of her chez salad so I won't post it in yet another social realm. You're welcome!A few hours later I got a DM requesting my address so they could send me a little something as thanks, then today since I happened to be working from home I was here when this showed up:
Well thanks, @McD_Canada! This was very kind of you. Don't see many handwritten notes these days. I'm lovin' it! pic.twitter.com/XpLWo9OKpa

Nicely played, McDonald's. I wrote the post because I was genuinely pleasantly surprised after trying the salads and was happy to share said delight with friends. So getting a little something to say thanks (which I will, of course, spend on more salads) is a wonderful and totally unexpected bonus, 'cause let's face it, who doesn't like free stuff?I sense many return trips to McDonald's in the weeks and months to come. A week ago, that's a sentence I'd never write. Congrats on your new, healthy options, your great social media team, and going that extra mile for your customers.
