Extremely hostile work environment. The GM named Vanessa Stone is very hostile. She holds employees hostage until she can find their replacements. March 29th 2025 she would not let an employee leave after the employee had quit, she wanted to keep the employee there for 30 minutes until a replacement was found. She fired me after changing my schedule. I worked 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. the night before and she changed my schedule at 8:00 p.m. changed it so I would be 2 hours late the next day so her reasoning for firing me would be dismissible because "you didn't check the paper schedule". Threatened to withhold my last paycheck if I did not return my uniform within 3 days. There is an extreme amount of prejudice at the store. They will not serve me food even if I come through the drive-thru in a passenger seat, they simply reject our service.
Another thing I would like to note is any other McDonald's you ever go to will take your order at the counter but this McDonald's in particular forces the customers even elderly ones to have their order taken at the kiosks. They have one employee always in the lobby trying to help customers with the kiosks but whenever a problem arises and the employee tries to help with their order at the register, the managers including Vanessa Stone are very hostile and do not believe in using the register, always trying to push the employee out of the way and have them use the kiosks at all costs. Whenever I go to a restaurant I expect my order to be taken at the register as it has been done for many years because the way I order food cannot be done at a kiosk.
If you can help it do not order delivery here because your order is likely going to be made wrong. I have an allergy to certain ingredients and whenever I order DoorDash or Uber through this restaurant they always mess up my order by putting on the same thing that I am allergic to even whenever I request for it not to be on it. Even at one point I ordered a McChicken with extra mayo, I got nothing except bread and an absurd amount of mayonnaise with no lettuce and no chicken. In that same order I asked for a quarter pounder with cheese with no onions and it seems there were extra onions of both kinds, slivered and dehydrated onions.
There are many things wrong with this place. They have heating cabinets where they keep your food such as hamburger patties, nuggets, McChickens, Crispies, and fish fillets up to temperature but wouldn't you like to know that they reset the timers on them so often that a fish fillet they often had served to a customer sat in the cabinet for well over 2 hours. Have you ever gotten a crispy chicken sandwich from this place and realized that it was very dry? Probably because it sat in the heating cabinet for over 2 hours, if they don't sell something they keep it in the heating cabinet and never throw it out to put something fresh in it. Quite often the burgers will come up off of the grill still pink and bleeding but they stand by the phrase, "The heating cabinet will finish cooking them," then shortly less than 5 minutes later those same burger patties will be served to the customer. The chicken nuggets are the same way that if they are not cooked entirely because one or two end up staying on top of the oil, they are told the same thing. They keep it in the heating cabinet because they don't believe in wasting their food whenever it goes bad, they would rather sell it to you so they can make their profit. Any other McDonald's in the area knows better than to swindle you for profit and they will serve you high quality food. This McDonald's is a disgrace to the Matthews management company and to the McDonald's name itself!
