McDonald's — Restaurant in District Municipality of Muskoka

We don’t get McDonald’s often and this will be the first time I’ve ever written a negative review. Going to McDonald’s is a special treat. We do a few times a year. If it’s a special night for one of the kids, the other parent will take the kids out but we usually buy two toys so that there is another toy when my older child gets home. It’s an extra $2-$3 I think.

Over the years there have been multiple screwup at the drive-through where I’ve called back and they assure me I can have a free meal the next time I come but then when I come, no one knows who I am or where this imaginary list is.

Today at the drive-through I ordered A full-size meal for myself, and a kids meal for my youngest, as my oldest was out with mommy tonight, doing martial arts together.

When I got to the second window, they quickly asked me to go and park aside and wait as it would be out in a few minutes. This wasn’t a terribly long wait maybe 10 minutes at the most. The young man who brought me, my meals, was only carrying the meals. “Oh, they didn’t give them to me”, Was his reply when asked.

Being in the Hvac field and seeing the repair of most commercial icemakers, I always request no ice in my drink. I typically drink water, but I will treat myself to an iced tea occasionally. When I stopped at a light and decided to have a sip of my iced tea, I realize that not only was it Coca-Cola, but it also was full of ice.

When I arrived home later, we realized that they had only given me one of the two happy meal toys that I asked for. This has happened to me before at least two separate occasions at this exact location.

As I said earlier, this is my first bad review, and I don’t typically make reviews unless they’re positive. I just Feel like it is time to say something, so that is what I am doing. This is at least a dozen instances over the last few years, and I just had to say something .

At this point $100 gift certificate wouldn’t get me to buy McDonald’s from this...

My patience is wearing thin with this McDonald's. I've had it today was a last straw they lied to me and said that there were dinosaurs in the Happy meal there's even pictures on the drive-thru window that says there's a dinosaur in the Happy meal. Even the liar at the window lied to me and said there was a dinosaur inside the Happy meal to my face but yet I get another Minion I must have 50 minions already. I'm so sick of minions! take these damn minions out of your happy meal lineup and This lion they had featured for almost half a year. I must have about 40 Lions, the same lion why don't you guys have some variety I mean isn't this town bad enough that it's the most boring city I've ever lived in ? everything closes early, everyone's depressed and there's enough crazy people here to fill an Asylum. Not too much and everything's overpriced and has no taste. I'm so tired of this McDonald's and there's no other options unless I go to Gravenhurst. Take these misogynistic Minions out of your selection! doesn't anyone realize that there's no female minions does that even make sense to anybody? even the smurfs have the decency to put a female in their clan! What do kids even get to learn from Minions when all they speak is computerized gibberish b* learn how to get some new variety make it fun for kids my son's are so angry and rarely want to go to...

In many ways, the work of a customer is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our orders. We thrive on negative service, which is fun to write and to complain. But the bitter truth we customers must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a customer truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last Sunday, I experienced something new: an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Ronald McDonald's famous motto, "I'm loving it." But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not every McDonald's can become something to love; but love can come from any McDonald's. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Bracebridge, who is, in this customer's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in Ontario. I will be returning to McDonald's soon,...
