McDonald's Monopoly fever has swept the nation once more and people are, predictably, getting annoyed by it again.

Last year people started to post angry messages to the fast food giant's Facebook page, complaining that they were not being given stickers with their food. And stickers mean big prizes.

It seems a similar thing has happened this year and customers are just as furious.

McDonald's terms and conditions on their website do state that Monopoly stickers are subject to availability.

But try telling that to someone who's just spent £24 on Big Tasty meals solely for the chance of winning £100,000 or a Mini - and got no stickers in return.

Meals come with stickers - and bigger meals mean more stickers

McDonald's Monopoly also finishes today so it's unsurprising the chain has been running out, but it hasn't stopped people getting angry about it.

Sammy Kozicki posted a photo of the advertising board outside a drive-thru with notices informing customers the Monopoly stickers were all out of stock.

She wrote: "Literally everything from McDonald's now has a sticker on board saying no monopoly stickers available. #itsajoke #mcdonalds #sortitout #happenseveryyear."

Marcus Appleyard said his meals had come without stickers twice in one week, telling McDonald's: "Come on, this is not good enough."

Others were disappointed they didn't realise they wouldn't be receiving stickers until they had already bought their food.

"With monopoly coming to an end soon decided to get a mcdonalds (sic) today in redditch kingfisher shopping centre.

"Ordered a medium 3 piece chicken select meal, 7 stickers advertised on board, and a big mag (sic) with medium fries, another 2 stickers.

"When meal came out only stickers on the select box. Questioned it to be told only doing stickers on large drinks & large fries due to low stock, no apology.

"Feel this isn't acceptable as there was lots of opportunity to let us know, and would have appreciated being told before paying as would have saved the money and gone to a drive thru on way home instead as we were only having mcdonalds for the monopoly.

"Perhaps in future staff could put a sign on the advertisement to say not available, or mention to customers when paying, to avoid any other customers disappointment."

Naomi Wooller wrote: "Was hoping to finish off our monopoly (sic) collection today so went to your Burley drive through, didn't realise until we parked up that there were only stickers on the fries, none on drinks or mozzarella dippers & that was the only reason for going large. No prizes for us this time!"

In a statement on its website, McDonald's said: "The Monopoly promotion has seen a surge in popularity this year, leading to some shortages of promotional packaging across qualifying items in certain areas ahead of the end of the promotion on the 2nd May.

"If your local restaurant has run out of your favourites, try another nearby location. Please check promotional packaging availability in restaurant with a Crew Member before ordering to avoid disappointment."
