Ok well now I'm just pissed. I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I am I this McDonald's, one of which I have been coming to for yearsssss. And for the record, I don't leave reviews on Yelp barely at all so the fact that I came here to write this says a lot. Anyways here we go, so I would say a couple weeks ago I came to this mcdonalds in the middle of the night, approx 2:30am, for Ice cream. I get to the order thing and ask for two hot fudge sundaes with extra fudge. The man proceeded to tell me that their ice cream machine was just recently turned off at 2, but that if I ever come back at that hour for ice cream, as long as I'm there by that time there shouldn't ever be a problem because that's the time they turn the machine off to clean it, or something like that. So ok I understand I came late and that's just how they run things there. This is where I get frustrated.
Number one, if you are a 24 hour McDonald's, don't u think that they should be selling everything offered on the menu (besides breakfast which is clearly stated to be sold from what.. 5am-10:30? U get my point) but honestly how can u shut off a machine at 2 when u supposedly are a 24/hr food place.. It would make a little more sense to me personally and I'm sure to everyone reading this to ummm idk TURN THE MACHINE OFF FOR CLEANING PURPOSES SOMETIME DURING THE BREAKFAST HOURS seeing as I'm sure it is less likely someone wants ice cream between 5 and 10 am and u are more than likely getting more people asking for icecream throughout the night who are also begging turned away because ur "policy" to turn off the machine shouldn't be allowed unless u state on ur menu that ANY icecream type of whatever can't be purchased from this time to that time... Ok that's just what I THINK would maybe help u guys on ur end to not make ur customers pissed they drove to ur store and left without buying what they wanted.
Number two. So as I previously stated, I was informed by an employee here that if I come before that time I will be able to purchase icecream. So SINCE THAT DAY I have gone to this location 2 times, once at 1:22am and once at 1:45am and both times they had the machine off "early". And tonight I called them at 1:39 to make sure the machine would be on like it's SUPPOSED TO BE til 2.. Knowing this time that they are full of shit to begin with so I'm not gonna waste my time driving there if they can't make my icecream, so I call and what do u know... ITS OFF. this time it got turned off early (about ten min ago he told me) because of technical problems. I said to him, I've been told that u guys keep the machine on til 2am is that right? He said yeah we always keep it on til then except today because something went wrong. Hmmmm something mysteriously went wrong minutes before I called? Yeah right u lazy idiots just turned it off, early, like always.
It's ridiculous, bottom line. Don't be open 24 hrs if u can't offer ur services the way u r supposed to. Or make it known somewhere on the menus that these items below are only sold til 1am.. Don't lie and write 2 when u know u turn it off early. And don't not write anything if u know u don't sell it 24 hrs like u should. And also, listen to what I said and if it's cleaning purposes that causes it to get shut off, clean the damn machine during breakfast when people are less likely to want a hot fudge sundae with their hashbrown! It's not brain surgery. I swear u don't even have to be required to recite the friggen ABCs to get hired here.
I'm officially ticked off and not willing to even try to get a hot fudge sundae from ur location anymore. And that's sad seeing as I have been a customer of this store for years. read more
