Place has gone sooo downhill over the years.. the past 6 months have been the catalyst to write this review.
Normally I give food service industries some slack bc it's a hard business, but the lack of care with staff attentiveness and overall quality is just getting worse. It sucks that McDs is franchised because they all run by different rules...
1st issue: I place a mobile order for pickup before work, thinking I had plenty of time. I park and wait a few minutes, then a few more (total of 7 min), running low on time. I decide to go inside to see what the hold up is.. and there are about 12 other patrons waiting in the front and not a single staff member in sight. The ones working the food deliberately had their backs turned and then a very young lady (maybe Asian) walks out and ignores everyone, even the 2 people trying to call her over. She looks absolutely miserable. 1 customer is asking for some ketchup and she ignores him for an awkward amount of time. Another lady is having problems ordering on the kiosk. And everyone else is waiting for their order. I finally flag her down and they hadn't even started my order yet! So I wait another 7 minutes for them to put my order together, no apology, no acknowledgment. There were 4 people in the kitchen and nobody was paying attention to the lobby.
2nd issue: I placed a mobile order for breakfast for my staff and sent someone to pick it up since I'm a manager and can't leave the building. I get a call from him and he tells me they can't give him the order because the phone that placed it isn't physically there (I've done this before and they handed it over no problem). So he re-orders on the spot and pays for it, I'm told to cancel my mobile order but there's no option to cancel. I call back and ask about the refund, but am told that the holding charge will fall off in 24-48 hours. 1 week passes, no refund. I had to fill out 4 different customer service tickets because the app kept closing me out. Eventually I disputed the charge with my bank. 2 weeks pass, no refund, but my bank temporarily credits the charge back to me. 3 months later, no refund, but my bank confirms McDs never processed a refund so the credit became permanent.
3rd issue: Saw a promo on the app for a free side of fries with a McDouble so I order ahead and choose drive thru (I'm on my lunch, I only have 30 min) but realize my app was set to my default store in Eastvale. I tried to cancel and re-order but the promo was already "used" and the app told me I had to wait 15 minutes before it reset. I get to the speaker and ask if they could honor the promo and explain what happened, and I was told "no the website is controlled by the owner and there's no way to honor that you'd have to wait" and I asked if she'd like to see the promo for proof and she said no, she can't honor it and I would have to contact the owner or wait the 15 minutes.
Many issues in between these but these were the main ones. I remember when this McDonalds used to be the best one around but the service has me sounding like a legitimate Karen on here read more
