Let me tell you a story that just happened to me at this McDonalds. About 10 minutes ago, I pulled up in their new fancy drive-thru. The woman came on the intercom and said how may I take your order. I said I would like a 6-peoce chicken nuggets happy meal for a boy, apple slices and chocolate milk. The woman then said, you want a 6-peoce, a hamburger or cheeseburger. I repeated the same thing I said much slower and much louder, I also added another happy meal for a girl and my meal which was a #3 large with a coke. I get to the window to pay and the woman says, your order was a double quarterpounder and a mcchicken? I said no! I asked for 2 happy meals, 1 for a boy 1 for a girl and a #3 large with a coke. I proceeded to pay for it and go to the next window. The individual gives me 2 chocolate milks an a medium coke....I said, excuse me, is this a large? She says no it's a medium. I said, I asked for a large so she changes it for a large. She then gives me my happy meals, 1 of them being a 4-peice and 1 being correct which was a 6-peice. I begin to get a little irritated but I keep my composure. I ask them to please switch this for a 6 like I ordered. They fix that. Then they give me a bag with just large fries. I asked, where is the burger? They asked me what burger? I said a double quarter pounder! They go and make a burger and give it to me. At this point I was extremely upset and left. When I got home, they got the burger wrong. They gave me a quarter pounder w/ bacon. Now I see why there was NO ONE in the line for this...
Read moreMcDonald's, where do I even begin? The golden arches beckon me like a siren's call every time I drive by. And like a sailor crashing onto rocks, I always end up pulling into the drive-thru.
The burgers are a work of art - if you consider a slapped-together patty and some wilted lettuce art. The fries are like little sticks of salty heaven, perfect for stuffing in your face while driving and trying not to spill ketchup all over your lap.
But let's talk about the service. The employees here are like a well-oiled machine, moving with lightning speed to churn out orders faster than the speed of light. Sometimes I think they're actually robots, programmed to smile and say "have a nice day" no matter what atrocities you've just ordered.
And the atmosphere! Oh, it's like stepping into a time machine and being transported back to the 80s. The plastic seats, the neon lights, the faint smell of grease - it's like coming home.
In conclusion, if you want fast food that's as consistent as a metronome and a dining experience that's like stepping back in time, McDonald's is the place for you. Just don't expect gourmet cuisine or a romantic atmosphere - unless you count the fluorescent lighting as...
Read moreWhen I first arrived at the restaurant, I was surprised to see that most of the tables were dirty. The restaurant was mostly empty, so I didn't understand why the tables weren't cleaned. Rather than bother a staff member to clean a table for me, I found the cleanest one I could to wait for my meal to arrive at my table.
I ordered a Big Mac meal, and the fries were a bit off. They were thinner and more well done than they should have been, they tasted fine I guess but just a bit off. I also ordered a soda, and I was disappointed to see that the cup was made of plastic. I thought McDonald's had switched to paper cups, so I was surprised to see that they were still using plastic.
Overall, I was disappointed with my experience at McDonald's. The restaurant was dirty, the food was subpar, and I was disappointed that the soda cups were made of plastic. I only visit McDonald's a few times a year these days, but after having worked there for many years in a previous life, I still need my Big Mac combo fix. Anyway some McDonald's are run well and others are not, I would add this to the list of ones that could use...
