A McDonald's in Cornwall boasts the highest percentage of five-star ratings nationwide, beating out locations in major cities like London and Norwich. A new study conducted by QR Code Generator, which analysed Google ratings, has crowned the McDonald's at Cornwall Services in St Austell as the best-rated in the entire United Kingdom. The research analysed the percentage of five-star and one-star Google reviews for all McDonald's outlets across the UK to determine which locations consistently delighted customers and which fell short. Cornwall Services emerged as the clear leader, with an impressive 52.42 per cent of its Google reviewers awarding it a five-star rating."

"Only Greggs is favoured more than the double arches among millennials, highlighting many young Brits' favour for affordable, on-the-go bites." He added: 'However, just because each McDonald's restaurant bears the famous name, it may not mean all are equal in the eyes of customers, as our results suggest. "Customer satisfaction appears to vary widely across the nation, with Cornwall Services taking top spot. For holidaymakers on their way to or from the south-west coast, it may be one to keep in mind for a pitstop, and an enjoyable meal for their travels.'

Amazon huge sale with 40% off on thousands of items including household staples to end in DAYS
Keep reading for tips on how to protect yourself against sale scams MEGA-SALE Amazon huge sale with 40% off on thousands of items including household staples to end in DAYS Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AMAZON shoppers have been treated to a massive sale with 40 percent off thousands of items. But you'd better be quick, the major discounts won't be around much longer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Amazon has launched a huge sale off home essentials Credit: Getty Amazon's Everyday Essentials Week runs from 21 to 27 May, slashing the prices on groceries, cleaning items, beauty products, and more. Products from big brands like Andrex, Fairy, Flash and Gillette Venus will all be discounted. Shoppers will also be able to snap up grocery products from brands such as Cadbury and Twinings, for up to 30% cheaper. The discounts will apply to all UK customers, with Prime members also able to access free delivery and same-day delivery in over 80 towns and cities across the UK. Amazon said that the event will offer shoppers savings 'on products for every room of the home, and for every member of the family – from baby wipes, shampoo, and toilet roll, to coffee pods, pet food, and fabric softener.' Bargain fans will also be pleased to learn that there will also be up to 15% off Amazon's own brand lines, including Amazon Basics and Amazon Essentials. Whilst the sales are exciting, they've also caught the attention of vile scam artists. Experts have revealed the most common Amazon scams and how to avoid them during the shopping frenzy. The first being the Prime membership scam, where criminals contact victims via email or text to alert members of an 'issue' with the account. They then send an email with a link, prompting users to 'verify' their account details. "To avoid this, always check the sender of any email or text you receive," the QR Code Generator team told The Sun. "As convincing as scammers can be, Amazon will never ask you to share sensitive information via phone, text or email. "If you receive one of these messages, don't engage with it. Instead, go directly to the Amazon app or website to check the status of your account." Another to look out for is the fake order confirmation scam, where criminals send fake emails claiming there was an issue with the order. These emails usually contain links to fraudulent websites designed to steal personal details and payment information. The experts told us: "If you receive an email regarding an issue with your order, do not click any links. Instead, check the status of any orders through the Amazon app or website. "It is also advisable to enable two-factor authentication for extra security." The third scam is the fake listing scam where scammers create false shop fronts on Amazon, offering high-demand items at unbeatable prices. Shoppers will then be sent a counterfeit product or nothing at all. The experts said: "It is important to always check a seller's reviews and be cautious of deals that seem suspicious. Stick to well-reviewed sellers or those marked as 'Amazon Verified.' "If you do fall victim to a fake listing scam, you can often resolve this by contacting Amazon. "Click 'I have an issue with a seller' on the Amazon app or website to start the refund process. However, while you may get your money back, it is safest to avoid this scam altogether." This comes after Amazon launched a rival to Temu and Shein, with thousands of products selling for £20 or less. 'Haul' was unveiled in the UK last week, after being launched in the US last year. The service is initially being trialled among select customers before being rolled out for all customers "in the coming weeks".
