I visit this store at least once or twice a week. Today was the first time I had a bad experience. I purchased an ice cream cone. When I received the cone ice cream was running down the cone and some brown spots were on the side of the ice cream. I had to blow my horn several times along with tapping on the drive through window to get someones attention. When the young man finally came to the window he told me he didnât see anything on the ice cream I told him I didnât want it. He gave me another ice cream and thanked him and asked for a napkin. The one he gave me was wet so I asked for a dry one. At that time another young African American man came to the window to hand me one and then proceeded to push my hand that was placed on the inside of the window. I was not aware I had placed my hand there. The young male pushed my hand not once did he ask me to move it. He pushed it and said I did it because you were not suppose to have it in here. I told him he didnât have to touch me or do that all he had to do was asked me to move it. He said well I moved it. He was very rude and slammed the drive thru window. I took the ice cream cone and smashed it on window and went inside. I talked with the manager about the incident. I told her I apologize for smashing ice cream on window but her employee was very rude and disrespectful. The only thing that kept me from snatching him up in your store is I work customer service and I knew this could have been worst if I would continue to stoop to his level. Check your customer service before you lose more customers. I will not be going back there and will not recommend any one to patronize. The young kids there need a reality check or you will definitely lose...

In 2004, independent American filmmaker Morgan Spurlock released Super Size Me, a documentary film about the fast food industry. The film follows Spurlock's 30-day experiment of eating nothing but McDonald's food, and how it affected him physically and psychologically. As a result, the then 32-year-old man gained 24 pounds or 11.1 kilograms, increased his cholesterol to an unhealthy 230 milligrams per deciliter, and accumulated high levels of fat in his liver. It took Spurlock over a year to lose the weight he gained from his one-month experiment. Of course, it is already common knowledge that fast food unhealthily contributes to weight gain, but Spurlock's experiment show how serious it really is. Apart from the rapid increase in weight, the high levels of cholesterol and fatty acids puts a lot of stress and damage on the liver, heart, and other organs. Most, if not all of McDonald's burgers have unusual levels of trans fat, a type of unsaturated fat that is bad for the body in so many ways. It increases the level of bad cholesterol levels, decreases the level of good cholesterol, increases the risk of developing heart disease and stroke, and is associated with type-2 diabetes. A single Big Mac contains 1.5 grams of trans fat, mainly as a byproduct of partial hydrogenation during the processing of the patty. From eating that one burger alone, it would take about 50 days to fully digest all of...
