Update upon a new visit from the previous one of 4 weeks prior.
My experience at McDonald's was far from satisfactory. Upon entering the restaurant for a dine-in experience, I was met with an astonishing 22-minute wait time. To make matters worse, when my order finally arrived, it was completely wrong. The frustration escalated when I approached the manager on duty, hoping for a resolution. However, it became evident that the manager struggled to read the correct order, leading to a prolonged and frustrating interaction.
The lack of employee support added to the ordeal, as it seemed the staff was overwhelmed or inadequately trained to handle such situations. Having to resort to using the mobile app again to rectify the order only highlighted the deficiencies in the in-person assistance provided. This reliance on self-service through the app further emphasized a disconnect between customers and the on-site staff.
The 22-minute wait for a dine-in experience is not only inconvenient but also raises concerns about the efficiency of the restaurant's operations. Customers expect a reasonable wait time, especially for fast-food establishments like McDonald's. Such delays can negatively impact the overall dining experience and may discourage patrons from choosing McDonald's in the future.
In today's fast-paced world, where quick service is a key expectation, a 22-minute wait is a significant drawback. The wrong order and the manager's inability to address the issue effectively further compound the dissatisfaction. Improvements in staff training, order accuracy, and overall service efficiency are crucial for McDonald's to maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty.
In conclusion, my recent experience at McDonald's was marred by an excessively long wait time, a wrong order, and a manager unable to provide adequate assistance. These issues collectively contribute to a subpar customer experience that warrants attention and improvement from the management and staff.
I guess the owner loves to throw away money. Every 20 seconds, something is given away for free....... It's been 72 minutes and not 1 person has even tried to clean anything 😒
Old review: Experiencing bad service in a dark atmosphere can truly dampen the dining experience, and when compounded by technological glitches, it becomes a frustrating ordeal. The ambiance of a place can significantly influence one's mood, and a dimly lit or gloomy setting might impact how one perceives the overall experience.
The combination of subpar service and a dark atmosphere can create an uncomfortable environment, leaving patrons feeling neglected or uneasy. When a restaurant fails to provide adequate service, it detracts from the enjoyment of the meal, making it challenging to fully savor the food or relax during the dining experience.
Furthermore, the frustration of a computer crash exacerbates the situation. Relying on a phone to place orders due to technical issues not only disrupts the convenience expected from modern dining but also adds stress and inconvenience. It disrupts the flow of the meal and may lead to misunderstandings or errors in orders, further souring the experience.
In such situations, the management's response to rectify the issues is crucial. A proactive approach, such as offering solutions or compensations for the inconvenience caused by both the service and technical problems, can salvage the experience to some extent.
In essence, encountering bad service amidst a gloomy ambiance while dealing with a computer crash disrupting the ordering process can significantly detract from the overall dining experience. It highlights the importance of seamless service and a welcoming atmosphere in ensuring customers have an enjoyable time and receive the value they expect from a dining...
Read moreI tried to stay away from McDonald's simply because in general the quality of the food is going down over the years. But this McDonald's gives exceptional service. I have a medical condition that requires me to say very well hydrated, and this McDonald's is in side the Walmart. I hate Walmart, but I love the McDonald's because the the location is so handy to get a quick drink or snack if I need it, and because the staff is great. I always use one of Walmart's electric carts, I am mobility challenged, and without exception when I step in to get a drink the staff always offers to fill it for me because the fountain is around to the side and maneuverability space this tight. There is one lady who I see often behind the counter there ( She is blondish, a lovely smile which I see often, super kind, friendly and helpful even when I can see she's kind of tired if it's when they're busy. I think her name is Jan. I hope that's right, I'm having a few problems with short-term memory right now due to meds I'm on. She seems like a genuinely nice person from the heart out. She is someone I would like to have as a friend, because I think that since she obviously gives 110% at her job and she cares about customers' feelings, a friendship with her would be a very fulfilling experience with loyalty and trust both given and received. She is a true asset to McDonald's, and I hope the corporation values her as they should. She definitely deserves a big raise, no matter how much money she's making now. There are not enough people in the world like her. She makes the world a better place, and in my mind that's huge. I also want to mention that several times, when I know an employee was on break, they spontaneously offered to help me while I was using crutches. That says a lot about the culture in this store. Big kudos to the staff, and a huge thank you to Jan for her kindness. She's a keeper, big time!) Btw, Jan, if I got your name wrong I apologize. I tried to give enough information that corporate could identify you so that they know what an asset you are. I hope your Easter was awesome! Have a blessed day! Also btw, Jan, my name is Susan. I am short-wide, Caucasian, brown going gray hair, always using an electric cart, 74 years old. I hope to see you soon, you always...
Read moreWow, knowing that it's a Sunday night of Labor Day Weekend, and seeing the long line at the drive thru, I chose to park, go inside and wait for my order in the luxury of their a/c... Before ordering pies, I TRY TO always remember to ask IF they even have pies. Even though my 1 pie left was given away, the manager let me replace the pie with another item. Thanks for not making me wait... While there, I witnessed a very disrespectful customer. This was a very busy moment, and she just ordered a special drink...not a simple soda nor iced tea.. It did take awhile but there were online orders, drive thru orders, VERY BUSY... I knew it was busy and I had to vouch for the hard workers who risk their lives in these TRYING times to make MY life easier that they were working HARD and fast...as fast as they could... If some dont respect the sacrifice and the workers doing their best, then she should not stop if she is in a hurry. I know its their best and what if someone didn't show up, who is going above and beyond their call of duty. I know because I was young once...fast food life is NOT easy. I love Whataburger, but the local one has made us WAIT, AND WE HAVE HAD OUR ORDER CORRECT ONLY 1 OUT OF 5 TIMES WE HAVE VISITED... Driving home 30 miles, I told my husband we may have found a new favorite place...I look forward to trying the online ordering...
