McDonald’s is renowned for its golden arches, a symbol as recognizable as a Rolex logo. It seems to evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort for many, which to me is quite fascinating. The idea of a fast-food restaurant that has become a staple in the daily lives of millions. seems rather novel to me.
From what I gather from my caddie, McDonald’s offers a variety of items, from the classic Big Mac to an array of chicken nuggets and frits (called fries locally). The concept of a “drive-thru” is particularly amusing, as it suggests a level of convenience and speed that is quite unnecessary and foreign. So today was the day I had my driver take through the “drive thru”
The affordability and accessibility of McDonald’s are perhaps its most striking features. It is a place where people from all walks of life can enjoy a simple meal, which is a stark contrast to the exclusivity of high-end dining establishments. This democratization of dining is both admirable and cute. I personally love the privacy of the “drive thru.“
Anyway I ordered 10 pieces of chicken nuggets value meal, which comes with frits and carbonated beverage. As you open the box, a warm, inviting aroma wafts up, hinting at the crispy, golden-brown exterior of the nuggets. Each nugget is perfectly bite-sized, with a crunchy coating that gives way to tender, juicy chicken inside. The texture is a delightful contrast, with the crispiness of the breading complementing the softness of the meat. Dipping a nugget into one of the two various sauces—a tangy barbecue or a creamy honey mustard—adds an extra layer of flavor. The combination of the savory chicken and the rich, flavorful sauce creates a satisfying taste that is both simple and comforting.
The frits are best enjoyed hot, and their simplicity is part of their charm. They pair perfectly with the nuggets, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
While it is a tad perplexing to someone who is used to a more curated culinary experience, I can appreciate its role as a cultural and social institution, for a price that is under $50 a person. It represents a different approach to dining, one that prioritizes convenience, consistency, and...
Read moreAug 30th/24 at 6:50pm I was going through the drive through on 88th annd 204th in Langley, BC and ordered 3 ice cream cones. Waited in the drive thru line for nearly 10 min, the car in front of me was having issues I guess with the card machine. There was about 6 cars behind be. I had a crying baby in the car. By the time I got to the p/u window I was fed up and asked for a refund. I gave them feedback saying in the future you should ask the car to drive around so you can process other customers. I guess the shift managers was an Asian woman maybe late 20s she processed my refund but there was another guy with longer Messy black hair 20s (Asian) with large eye glasses extremely rude and disrespectful came off like a punk teenager. So much attitude! He didn’t want to hear my feedback when I told him I know a fellow McDonald’s owner that runs a great team and instead of validating my customer concerns and feedback he said “ya whatever ..you are just gonna just go to another McDonald’s” the audacity! When I asked for his name he said I don’t need to tell you my name. Again never offered up an employee ID or anything for me to reference him. He proceeded to say go ahead take a picture of me. I had zero intention of that and did not. Instead, I will leave this review for McDonald’s management. it’s sad with the cost of food increase there was such poor quality of customer service ..you just lost this customer permanently. I was literally just buying ice cream not a staple for me I can hit up so many other fast food places like DQ, Burger King or Wendy’s. It doesn’t matter if my order was $2 or $200 I will never offer my money to your company again. Dear management team: train your staff to speak to customers respectfully. Also to critically think when there is a busy line. Am I surprised though.. can’t expect too much from a young person working at McDonald’s full of attitude. Words of wisdom to that shift manager… if you don’t like your job then quit, change your situation and don’t work in customer service. Your mouthy attitude won’t...
Read moreone of your managers (middle aged dark haired lady in a bright pink jacket) came in maybe around 8:30pm and loudly stated to her staff that she would be closing lobby at 10pm. UNBELIEVABLY loud for the entire store and customers to hear. she went about her job and when a line of people were waiting to place their orders, she quite rudely told them that the registers were closed and they would have to order on the kiosks, when I can see from across the store that the registers are clearly open and functioning. those people ended up leaving and I could hear them muttering that she was rude and had an attitude. later when i was in the bathroom I could still hear her yelling at people to use the drive thru because lobby was “now closed” and when I got out, she was locking the front doors and telling everybody else to leave. this was probably around 9pm when i know your lobby typically closes at 12. this is frankly unacceptable behaviour from a manager. not only is she rude to paying customers and kicking us out HOURS before the store actually closes but she’s also rude to her own staff. the other employees especially shouldnt have to deal with that.
on another note, when I ordered my meal (long before she got here) it took almost 10 minutes and 2 reminders for somebody to come up and take my order. she was very apologetic about it and I understand that they were busy, but I stood there for 10 minutes and nobody came over to even say that they’ll get to me. they just ignored me. this happens a lot at this store...
