McDonald’s

It usually takes a coupon to get me into a McDonald’s, and that’s what it took to get me in here for lunch. To get me back it will take not only another coupon but about a ton of asphalt in the parking lot to fill in all the potholes and dips. There’s no point in saving a few dollars if I’d have to immediately apply them towards a front-​end alignment for my car.
This McDonalds has not yet had the «privilege» of being gutted and rebuilt new and improved, and it shows. The décor is 70’s realness. At least the dining area was clean. I wish I could say the same for the kitchen. From the counter, I could see french fries all over the floor especially in the fry area. There were some type of green pills on the counter as well. I have no idea whether it was candy or someone’s medication — but do you want YOUR 3-​year old to be the one to determine that?
Some employees showed a lot of teamwork and hustle, some didn’t. The guy who took my order for example — when no one else was at the counter, he’d simply remove the lanyard on which his badge was attached, and swing it so it wrapped and unwrapped around his arm — which was obviously more fun than… oh, I don’t know… getting french fries off the floor?
My meal, a grilled chicken club ranch combo, was unspectacular. The sandwich actually had green leaf lettuce instead of iceberg lettuce (that’s good), but it was too deep a green, and shriveling at the edge, meaning it was beyond freshness (that’s bad). The tomato was overripe too. My fries were no longer crisp due to being under a heat lamp for an unknown period of time. One of the soda dispensers was out of ice.
I was in just before noon, which should be a peak dining time. You could count the number of customers inside on 1 hand, and the drive-​thru wasn’t too busy either. So I guess the locals know, and I also base that on the fact that both the Burger King and Dunkin’ Donuts across the street had more customers. Maybe it’s time for that gut-​and-​rebuild… or maybe the company doesn’t think it’s cost-​justified???

I love the McDonald’s Company, but this one is just a weird one… I have been here at least a few many times here now and it just keeps getting weirder… To start it all, the first time I came here last year I was going to Walmart on errands and decided to «stop-​in» for a quick bite. At that moment, there seemed to be only one employee working in the WHOLE place and on top of that I was the only customer, pretty creepy stuff… then I went some more times and they were okay nothing to remember home about… then today I came in at some point and they said they were out of french fries! Now, the person at the counter was a younger girl and didn’t seem to speak english too good, so i insisted on talking to the manager. I did and it turned out she, at the counter, was playing some kind of sick joke I didn’t understand but the manager got everything straight from there on out. Anyway, these kinds of things really are frustrating for me and sometimes they give me the creeps here…

I was just here over the weekend for breakfast. Although my order was prepared sloppy with multiple seals on chocolate milks removed along with several cuts I didn’t make on my Hotcakes noticed along with several other problems, this just want a. pleasurable experience. From other times I’ve went here, I’ve never had that problem. Everything runs smoothly without a glitch of some sort, but this one just was completely different.

With there new promotional deals the restaurant was not ready or able to handle the amount of people that were there this week. Long lines both on the drive thru and at the counter. They had plenty of staff but still service was still slow.
