McDonald's Pakuranga — Restaurant in Howick

⭐ 1/10 — I’d give it zero stars, but at least it’s technically functional… barely.

First off, let’s talk about automatic flushers. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to give toilets a mind of their own? You stand up for a second, and BAM, the flusher starts going off like it's entering hyperdrive. Nothing like a sudden whoosh to splash cold water on your dignity. Forget about privacy; these things are watching your every move, just waiting for the worst possible moment.

Then there’s the seat situation. Why, in 2024, are public toilet seats still designed like medieval torture devices? One wrong shift and you’re slipping and sliding around like it’s a Slip 'N Slide of horrors. And don’t get me started on the "seat warmer" features. It’s either cold enough to turn you into an icicle or burning like it’s preparing a human barbecue. How is this progress?

The toilet paper dispensers seem to be in league with the devil. You need the strength of a demigod just to get more than one square of paper at a time. And when you finally do, it’s either like sandpaper or so thin that one tear and you’re suddenly learning way more about yourself than you ever wanted to.

The absolute worst offenders are those eco-friendly, low-flow toilets. I get it; we’re saving the planet. But at what cost? After one flush, you stand there like a medieval sorcerer, hoping that the swirling abyss will do its job, only to be let down by a feeble gurgle. Now you’re stuck in a flush-loop, wondering if it’s just you or if the toilet has turned against humanity.

In conclusion, the 2024 toilet experience is a travesty. They’re either trying to drown you, roast you, or humiliate you in some new, creative way. Until someone invents a throne worthy of the 21st century, we’re all doomed to suffer in these porcelain prisons. THESE TOILETS ARE ABSOLUTELY FILTHY. THEY ARE SO KAKA DOODOO.PEE IS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. YOU NAME IT EVERYWHERE. ON THE FLOOR THE BENCHES THE SINK THE WALL THE ROOF THE TOILETS ARE SO UNRIZZ NO SKIBIDI SIGMA IN THEM. I EVEN ONCE FOUND VAPES IN THE TOILETS. THEY ARE SO BAD THAT YOU STEP IN AND YOU FAINT OF THE SMELL. LIKE ITS VERY NOT STONKS. ITS STINKS FIGURATIVLY AND LITERALLY. I DONT KNOW WHAT EVEN ON THE WALLS BUT IT IS COMPLETELY BROWN. USING THESE TOILETS IS A BATTLE BETWEEN YOUR NOSE AND YOUR BODY. YOU STEP IN AND 15 MILLION VIRUSES ENTER YOUR BODY. LIKE...

I’ve been on your drive thru for four times now. The other three times were really good. Service was great and the food wasn’t so bad. All three times were early morning. First time I got a B&E combo with a water as my drink. The second time I ordered from the app so was the third time. Very respectful and I never had any problems with my order until this morning. I ordered from the app as the other three times before and I ordered the same thing. Take on the morning and two has browns. Two seperate codes. I asked for water because McAfe didn’t open until 6. The guy that took my order said ‘It’s okay I ca. give you a coffee’ so i asked for a full cream latte with 2sweetners. Got to the window paid then i proceeded to the pick up window. I got handed my order and he said to me ‘I put your coffee in a medium cup as we don’t have small cups’ to wish I said ‘yeah it’s fine’ So drove off. Got to work and I discovered that not only he gave me the wrong muffin but the coffee tasted like filter coffee. Trust me when I said that I worded at Maccas for 6 years so I know the difference between filter coffee and a mcafe coffee. The one I got was so watery and no froth. It tasted burnt. I was very disappointed because last night I was going to give 5star review. The food that I got the first three time for so good compare to the food that I was given this morning. While I can understand that it’s early morning and your crew were probably tired and wanted to go home. That doesn’t mean you neglect your duty of serving fresh food to your customers. Do...

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my experience at your establishment last night. I visited your branch shortly before 6 p.m. and purchased two meal deals, three separate large fries, and a chicken nuggets. However, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food and service provided.

Firstly, I found that almost all the food provided was cold. Whether it was the items in the meal deals or the separately purchased fries and nuggets, they all gave the impression of having been stored for an extended period. Particularly surprising was that the beef burger my husband ordered was also cold. What's even more puzzling is that we were only a four-minute drive away from home when we picked up the food, yet it had already gone completely cold.

As a regular customer, I am deeply disappointed by this experience at your establishment. I have patronized other McDonald's branches before, but I can say without exaggeration that this was the worst experience I have had at any McDonald's in New Zealand. Such service and food quality make me question whether it is worth patronizing your...
