Look, it's McDowell's right? Everybody knows McDowell's. But every now and then you find a "special" McDonald's. A version of McDonald's that sets itself apart from the rest. Something about it, or maybe it's multiple things? Either way,it forces you to remember it. Forces you to talk about it with your friends and family. The McDonald's here in Sapulpa is NOT one of those special locations. The one in our town is SO SO VERY MID, that there is No Way it isn't being done on purpose. Right? Like it HAS to be on purpose. Ok so think about your last idk, 10 trips to Mickey's. It boils down to your interaction with the employee(s) and the "food" that you ultimately leave with. When the "food" has to have quotations around it cuz we all know that stuff ain't real food, right? "I'm telling you, right now! That food. Is NOT real! So you can eat that stuff they call food, or you can not eat that stuff they call food, but I am not going to stick around to be here for it." - Lady from the plane who saw a guy that wasn't real...? Anybody? Pshh anyway... So it's the "food", and it's the people. The "food" already sucks, so the ONLY hope of any salvation lies with the people. You will soon learn that there's just NO hope at all whatsoever period. I interacted with 2 people. Two. They both were giving like I borked up their day because I came into the restaurant (can we call it that? Or naw) that they work at. The first little dude I encountered at the counter instantly vibes hecka negative, so instead of ordering, I turned around and placed my order on the kiosk. When I was done I re-approached the counter and handed him my ticket with my order on it. Wait, I tried to hand it to him. He wouldn't take it from me, non-verbally insisting that I just lay it on the counter. I wanted to fold it up into a ninja star and throw it at him. He mutters my total under his breathe, I ask him, "what was that?" I can't even make this up when he repeated whatever he had said the first time, in the SAME under his breathe mumble rapper Gen screwball way he said it the first time. I wasn't about to ask him to repeat it again, but I wouldn't have to because he kindly pointed at the register where my total was displayed. (I already knew what it was btw, because I placed the order via the kiosk remember.) I think I just wanted to force him to perform part of his job function. Anyway, bleep bloop, I paid for my "food", asked for my cup, and proceeded to make my Dr. Pepper then I stood in this place next to another place where people sometimes sit, and I patiently waited for my "food". I'm not going to stop with the quotations. They are entirely necessary. Just about the time when I was about to approach the counter and ask about the status of my order, a girl slings a paper bag onto the counter and I doo doo you not, she , in one quick gesture, points at me, then points at the paper sack. Then turns around and walks away. This was my queue, that must be MY paper sack. Better yet, the contents of the sack were most likely the "food" I ordered. Welp, I hope so, cuz I grabbed it and left. It turned out to be my order too. Completely accurate as well. Low key, I was a little surprised, impressed maybe? So yeah, that was my visit to McDowell's on 3/22/24. Nothing out of the ordinary. Par for the course if you ask me. Anybody else have a fun story to tell about their visit to McDowell's in Sapulpa? If so, please do. Thanks for...
Read moreI frequent this McDonald's a lot being that sapulpa is a smaller town and I never have issues, until today. In the drive thru I asked if they still offered the SHAMROCK OREO MCFLURRY and they said yes so I said I would like one please. I paid and wasn't given a receipt (no biggie) It wasn't until they tried to hand me my order that I realized she had rung my order up wrong and I explained to the pick up window that I specifically ordered the MCFLURRY....big difference between their shake vs the mcflurry! She gets an attitude and tells the manager I'm being rude which I absolutely was not *I had my 7 year old son in my truck with me and it's literally over ice cream...not rude worthy in my opinion) The manager looks out the pick up window and gives me a dirty look and says something to the other worker. The she takes a tiny amount of Oreos crumbs and puts a tiny amount through the hole in the lid and gives it to me. I said ok this is ridiculous. I pulled away and went to park and my son and I went inside where I again explain the issue. I'm told by the front counter kid the mixer isn't in the restaurant. So I asked for my $ back. The manager comes up and says again I got rang up for the shake, I said it wasn't my fault that I got rung up incorrectly and to please either give me my money back or make the correct item. The original girl I encountered in the pick up window made eye contact with me and then decided to tell out "Cry me a river" then roll her eyes and start laughing. It is so crazy to me how rude kids are now a days and how hard it is for some people to fix their mistakes without an attitude. Very very frustrating experience! Got the McFlurry btw....made without being mixed up. Very disappointed in the afternoon crew...
Read moreThe service was amazing. I just found out they have an indoor play area. So I brought my 1 year old son around 6ish to burn some energy before bed. I brought him in and we immediately went to the play area and I made an online order through the app on my phone. The place was pretty slow inside at least, I guess because it was a Sunday evening. So, without even selecting the table service option ( I thought I'd just listen for my number), they still brought our order to a table near us, as we were playing. We continued to eat and play for well over an hour after that. So then I was going to change him before we left. So I get his new diaper and go to the restroom and find some liquid sitting in the changing table. I went to notify the staff that it was there, and clarify we didn't do it lol Then they told me they were aware it was a leak in the ceiling and they were in the process of getting someone to come fix it. Then see the new diaper and wipes in my hand and immediately volunteer to clear out the men's room and clean the changing table in there for us to use without me asking, or really even expecting a solution right then and there. So not only do they have changing tables in BOTH bathrooms, the guy working tonight that did all that is a rockstar. I've never had such a pleasant experience at a...
