But in Granite City, the return of the beloved MONOPOLY game comes with a question: Will local customers look past years of frustration to join the fun?<br><br>For many in the community, the experience at Granite City\u2019s McDonald\u2019s locations has been less than golden. From extended wait times to inaccurate orders, residents have voiced their dissatisfaction for years. Social media threads and casual conversations often echo the same sentiment, \u201cIt\u2019s just not what it used to be.\u201d<br><br>Yet the allure of MONOPOLY may be strong enough to rekindle interest. This year\u2019s promotion features both physical and digital game pieces, allowing fans to collect properties, enter bonus plays, and track prizes using the McDonald\u2019s app. Customers who order select menu items in the app will earn digital pieces, while others will receive peel-off pieces on packaging. <br><br>Bonus gameplay runs through November 2, and early birds who pre-register in the app between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5 will receive 500 MyMcDonald\u2019s Rewards points. So, will Granite City residents give McDonald\u2019s another shot for the chance to win big? Time, and game pieces will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25529","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25529"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25534,"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25529\/revisions\/25534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/granitecitygossip.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
