Even by McDonald's standards, their location here at Taby Centrum in a large shopping mall, only a short ride on public transport from Stockholm.
The electronic screens were inaccurate and listed every allergen even in chips (from gluten to meat?), this was a common problem at all locations in Stockholm I visited.
I ended up having to consult a staff member regarding their gluten-free offerings, she was unsure and later printed me something off in swedish. I understand there is a language barrier but considering the staff member who served me spoke both, I was shocked she handed it to me and refused to help (or get anyone else to), meaning I was left with a small list of ingredients in swedish which wasnt even printed clearly (printer running out of ink?)
In the end, I had to go onto the McDonald's website and copy and paste it into Google Translate and in the end, I found out the sweet potato fries were gluten-free, but the staff made it clear to me that it didn't seem they understood taking allergies seriously, even more surprising considering McDonald's do have a much better GF selection of products in Sweden compared to the UK and US.
The queuing area seemed to get hectic and mismanaged very quickly too, making it rather uncomfortable.
