Between the hours of 12 – 2 pm and 5 – 7 pm it is known as the “Gapbuster Times” in McDonald’s. The “Gapbuster Times” is when the fast food restaurant can be visited by mystery shopper, known as a Gapbuster.
For those of you who do not know what a mystery shopper is, it is an individual that is sent to visit a store pretending to be a customer, in order to evaluate the customer experience and give feedback to the stores. Store managers generally go out of their way to ensure they get a good score, and McDonald’s is no different.

So when a mystery shopper shows up, they make sure that they are given fresh, hot food. The thing is, a mystery shopper doesn’t go in and announce that they have arrived. So what the McDonald’s staff do, according to this employee, is let the manager know when a customer asks to keep their receipt.
Mystery shoppers need to keep their receipts in order to be reimbursed for what they paid for. So whenever a customer asks for their receipt, they assume it is a mystery shopper and ensure they are given fresh and hot food.
So next time you visit McDonald’s, if you want fresh and hot food, ask to keep your receipt.
