McDonald feedback page only allows 1200 characters. I wrote a complaint to them but could not write all the detail. I was not so sure if McDonald would listen or care anything to my complaint or not. I just wanted to leave a faithful comment here to be warned about the mistreat and attitude you might receive from McDonald staff there even if you as a customer did nothing wrong.
The incident occurred on Sunday, 11/17/2018 at 5:20PM at McDonald address: 2401 4th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134. An employee contact name was "Betty", who claimed to be a store manager, showed a sign of attitude, poorly treated to a customer who did nothing wrong, and refused to provide service.
I was a regular customer at this particular branch. My daughter wanted to eat an ice cream and I was just about to pass this McDonald on my way home. During that time, the store was under an interior construction but still opened only for Drive-Thru. I stopped my car at the first Drive-Thru terminal service and got a promptly message to move forward to the second Drive-Thru service area (This was normal during non peak hour). I stopped my car at this second service area and waited for the staff to take my order. However, there was no respond on the intercom. Besides, the monitor showed only a blank white screen. It was a sign of monitor not working. I said "hello" and waited at the intercom for 15 seconds but no response from the operator at the end of the line. Apparently, I saw the first windows, where customers pay for the food with the cashier, was completely blocked with red cones and only the second windows opened. Due to the fact that store was under interior construction, I thought the intercom was down and was supposed to order at the second windows. There were two cars ahead of me and I waited patiently in line for my turn.
By the time I got to the windows, the staff told me about the other customer's order. I told her I did not order anything yet because there was no response from the intercom and the monitor showed only a blank white screen. Another staff came to the windows and told me to move the car to get back in line from the beginning again. I asked her why and calmly explained to her again about what happened at the terminal service back there. I clearly said that there was no response from the intercom while I waited for 15 seconds and the monitor abnormally showed only blank screen. She not listened but clearly showed a sign of attitude by the way she looked and talked to me. She kept telling me to go back in line to order with the terminal service again. That was ridiculous and not made any sense to redo the thing. I told her I did nothing wrong but why I had to go back to the line when the problem was the store service area itself not working at the first place, not a customer fault. I told her that what I need was an ice cream cone for my daughter and we did nothing wrong. She refused the service unless I followed her unreasonable direction to start a line all over. At this point, I and my wife told the staff that we need to talk to a store manager to report this mistreat incident. The very same staff told us she was a store manager. I asked for the name and she said "Betty". I told her that I need to file a report to the McDonald customer service about what I was being treated with this attitude. She just walked away.
This was bad, very bad. I not think I will go back to this store never ever again and I not want to let this incident go like nothing happen. I do really hope McDonald do some internal investigation about this incident as shown on date and time above. My daughter could not get an ice cream and I feel like this was totally not okay for the business to treat a customer like this. I hope anyone come to read this acknowledge about this incident. read more
