With reports of some locations having as few as three packets, while others had twenty, and others still had none whatsoever, fans were furious with McDonald's lack of clarity and manipulation of its patrons.

This week I learned it's apparently easier to get drugs from @McDonalds than one packet of #szechuansauce
hey @McDonalds, when y'all said you would have limited supplies of szechuan sauce today, you weren't kidding. 20 cups per store? smh, c'mon.
@Ryan_POD @BaltimoresSon @McDonalds Alexandria VA had no sauce and ten posters and a MASSIVE line 😳we drove 2 hours to learn this

Multiple locations even had to get the police involved.

Twitter users pointed out that large quantities of sauces were stolen and sold on eBay in advance by McDonald's employees.

Some even called for a boycott of the fast food giant.

While others opted to take their business elsewhere entirely.
Hey @McDonalds - guess who else has chicken tenders? @Wendys may not have Szechuan sauce but neither do you.
Nearly two hours after the disastrous release, McDonald's released a statement via their twitter, along with responses to disgruntled followers asking them to DM the fast food giant to make it up to them.
The best fans in the multiverse showed us what they got today. We hear you & we're sorry not everyone could get some super-limited Szechuan.
@MatthewLCurtis @AlishaRivHo1mes We’re so sorry to hear this. We could only make small batches of Szechuan Sauce, b… https://t.co/BiAfYstM6i
However, fans were not having it.
@McDonalds The bigger problem is you lied about locations getting it, people went where you said to go, and employees had no clue.
@McDonalds Thanks for wasting a full tank of fuel going to multiple McD’s for a fucking sauce I couldn’t get at ANY… https://t.co/tIL8BgNPz6
@McDonalds I'm an adult I can deal but a kid literally left crying.
Needless to say, plenty of angry Rick and Morty fans are still out there waiting on their Mulan McNugget sauce, even if it takes 9 seasons.
