Check-In# RX73-6677354 09/29/2024 04:51:41 PM
I order online on their app and go to pick it up. There are two cars in the drive thru and I ordered curbside and check-in. I wait 15 minutes and call to ask where my order is. Their manager Ashley says their short staffed and trying and that my order is ready. I wait another couple of minutes and nothing. I'm about to call in again and I finally see my order. I grab it and go. As I'm getting on the street, I reach in to grab some fries and they are cold.
I call and complain and have to turn around to get my food again.
I get my groceries and go back to that McD's. I walk in and ask for Ashley. The gentlemen that walked out to bring me my food originally, looks up and walks over to me. He states that he'll handle it and he'll start my food right away and places the bag on their stainless steel counter. I see the guy go around to the line he's working on, and I think he's working on my order. I wait another 15 minutes, and I see him making some big macs. This guy who brought out my food and he tells me that he'll make my food completely FORGOT to make my food! REALLY! He just took my bag and stated that he'll work on it himself and then doesn't even work on my order. What the hell!
There is a guy right next to me complaining about the time for his order and he just walks out. I then see a guy in a grey shirt (Corey), and I ask him for help. The time is now 5:51 so it's been an hour since my original order. I explain to Corey what's going on. He asked to see my receipt show him my phone. He asks if he can take it to ensure that the order is correct. I agree. After another 10 minutes, I get my order and check it and I'm missing a medium fry and inform Corey. He states that he didn't see it, but if I can show him the receipt again as he goes and gets my medium fries. He comes back and I show him. However, as he's going back to get my fries I see Ashley, for the first time, coming to the front of the store from what I assume is an office. She then asks what's going on with the orders and is trying to figure it out. Corey gives me my fires and inform him that they got to do better.
During this whole time everyone in line waiting for their food is complaining. This lady stated she order her food and 4:35 and hadn't gotten her food. However, the drive thru is rolling cars out. Food is leaving but only the drive thru. Why is that? The entire time I was waiting for my food, this McD's only gave customers in their dinning room food one time. They are ONLY working on drive thru orders. What the hell! They should work on the orders as they come in. Why do people or use curbside or order inside have to wait double or triple the time to get their food while drive thru people are getting their food quickly? Make this make sense. Then if you're going to make people wait double or triple the time, at LEAST get their order correct!
If Ashely knows they are behind, why doesn't she get out of her office to help her crew? She was in her office while this McD's was not pushing out curbside or dining room orders? That does NOT show leadership. She would be helping her employee's get orders out and ensure they're correct but she's just in the office doing who knows what.
If you MUST go to this McD's ONLY use the drive thru. At least you'll get your food quicker but please ensure that the food is warm and accurate! I do appreciate Corey because he was trying to get orders out and be helpful, unlike Ashley! Keep up the good work Corey and I hope that Ashely uses you as an example to help out your workers rather then just staying in the office.
I pulled out of the McD's parking lot at 5:11 PM. It took over an hour for me to get my food, but hey, I did get a free Apple pie, but I'd would rather not deal with this and preferred to my order warm the first time! Do better! read more
