Me and my partner went into the drive thru with an online order and only one other car in the drive thru lane. We ordered two bacon egg muffins, one hashbrown and a coffee. After driving past the payment window, we were waiting behind the car in front of us for 20 minutes (I counted), with cars piling up behind us. We remained stationary, and after the 20 minutes had passed with no one being pulled into the empty waiting bay, they gave the car in front of us one coffee. They were waiting on one single coffee and holding up the line for 20 minutes, when they couldâve very easily been shuffled to the waiting bay. After we pulled up, we got our food straight away, as did the cars behind us. All of this over one coffee. As a previous worker at McDonalds, everyone knows that if youâre waiting on one item, youâre meant to be shuffled into the waiting bay as to not hold up the line and mess with the times, especially when the car is only waiting on one item. Because of this mishap, I ended up missing my train in Varsity Lakes (we left half an hour earlier in order to make time for the food). I know I shouldnât expect much from a McDonalds, but this is just...
   Read moreDon't go to McDonald's for food FFS. Ok it's a convenient place to meet and that's what you're paying for. Could be that M has bought themselves a position or captive market and it is the only "food" available. The coffee isn't too bad, maybe a snack or a treat, but the food is nutritionally bereft and even though they bandy the "meal" word around, nothing at McDonald's comes close to a meaningful meal. If you're eating for fuel, you're in the wrong place. If you're eating for health you're in the worst possible place, but you already know that. If you are eating for flavour or comfort or gourmet, you are on the wrong planet. If you're eating, for convenience, because you are hungry and don't have time to prepare a decent meal, take a good hard look at your life. You can do better. Parents, if you're feeding your kids a "Happy" misnomer "meal" misnomer, you are setting your kids up for a lifetime of disappointment and dietary struggles. Just stop! Maccas management, I like the way you train your staff. Find another way to exist without destroying innocent people's diets with your aggressive...
   Read moreEntered drive thru at 10:31am, waited 30 minutes to reach the speaker box, that shouldâve been my sign to back out when I could. After watching approximately 4 cars behind me leave, I reached the speaker box and placed my order. After correcting the order twice at the speaker box, we proceeded to wait another 15 minutes to reach the first window, where we had to correct our order again, for the same mistake we had tried to correct three times now. After finally sorting the mistake we paid and waited another 15 minutes to receive our food, noting no cars had been parked this entire time. Once we received our order we received our burgers cold, covered in grease inside and outside the boxes, and sauce all through the boxes. After eating the first burger and leaving we realised they had still stuffed the contents of one burger up after 3 corrections. To top it all off we received no napkins so had to wipe my fân saucy hands on my new pants. 0/10 would...
