I arrived at this McDonald’s—perched forlornly at the terminus of \in the shadow of a flicker t sign and abutting a park that has surrendered to decay—like a pilgrim reaching a neon-lit cathedral of late capitalism at the witching hour. It was just past 2:00 AM on a Wednesday, and the world felt hollowed out. The six-lane expanse was nearly empty, save for the occasional lonely car swooshing by like a lost ghost. In the distance, the Star Market’s logo glowed weary and half-burnt-out, presiding over an empty parking lot littered with a confetti of old receipts and plastic bags. The adjacent park—once presumably a cheerful patch of green where children played—now lay in sullen ruin: rusted swings that screeched softly in the night breeze, graffiti-tagged benches, and a single streetlamp casting a sickly orange halo onto overgrown weeds. This was the stage for my midnight meal, a tableau of urban entropy that could have been co-directed by David Lynch and the City of Somerville’s neglect.

I believe other fast food places should follow this location as an example of professionalism and efficiency because they...
Read morebad service it was 8:30pm and they were already saying that they would close at 10pm with a form that they wanted no one to buy. The supervisor in uniform and a very uncomfortable older lady looked ugly and passed the order in annoyance. The cashier was so embarrassed because she could see the rudeness and attitude of the supervisor. I had to make a second order since I did it through the withdrawal application and it was an offense on my part because the treatment was uglier and more uncomfortable. The boy who was cleaning swept while people ate up to their feet and cleaned the table with the food on the table very badly, intimidating everyone. It was more than an hour before closing because he said it was at 10pm but they were rushing to customers. This was today 06/10/2023...
