Before we begin... DO NOT EXIT THE RESTAURANT from the play-place! For whatever reason, this Mc. Donald's is not smart enough to place an "ALARM WILL SOUND" or any sort of "red tape" on the door. It simply says, "EXIT" like any other door would! However, when you procceed to exit, the alarm will sound! Then, the employee's will come & give you dirty looks & yell at you, as if you somehow messed up? If the door had ANY SORT OF WARNING on it then I would understand why they're upset, but... in actuality, I SHOULD BE UPSET WITH THEM for not warning me. Now let's begin...
PROS: Morning staff (anytime before 8AM)
CONS: The rest of the staff. I've had them overcharge me &/or get my order wrong 2-5 times I go, which is a lot when you put it into perspective. When you call to complain, the manager never seems eager to please you, nor the situation you were forced into by there employee's mistakes. Manager almost never compliments the customer with a free meal, or something exceeding the value of the mistake (which they should, considering I'm dealing with the mistake & having to waste time/gas to come back at a future time to claim my mistake...)
Example: I ordered 2 Large drinks. I received 1 Large, 1 Medium (drive-thru) in a cup holder (I was unaware they were different sizes) until I got home. I called the manager to tell them they messed up & the manager straight told me I was lying! This has happened more then once (where I was told I was lying, straight up) - I was told the employee specifically remembered giving me a Large. Therefore, I told the manager to review the cameras which would prove my point in case, the manager refused to waste resources on reviewing (which isn't a waste because it tells you your employee is dishonest while also clearing the customer) - instead she opted to refund me a free-Large drink. Just to make a point, I went back into the store 10-minutes later with the medium drink, to there surprise.
Another example. I ordered a meal with Big Mac. However, the woman misheard & charged me for 3 additional Big Mac sauces, which equated to $1.00 extra! When I arrived at the "pay window" I asked the employee to reread the order to me, because I felt it was wrong. Instead of rereading the order, she swiped my credit card, then reread the order, not mentioning the 3 extra Big Mac sauces! When I arrived at the "pickup window" I seen the 3 sauces & asked "what is this?" to my surprise I was told it's what I ordered. I told the employee it was not what I ordered & I wanted a refund. Her response to me, "No, you did order it actually..." are you kidding me? Again, I was being told I was a liar, this time not over a phone, but in person! I know exactly what I ordered, if I said I didn't order it, then I didn't order it, who are you to dispute that fact?
For this reason, I try to avoid "Indian Hours" is what I like to call them. Because, it seems that after 8AM all of the Indians, Syrians, etc. begin work. It's always a group of them & they're always rude, accusing you of lying, etc. - they treat this Mc. Donald's like a personal Mini-Mart. They treat the customers the same way they would at Chevron. They assume everybody is dishonest & have no problem expressing those beliefs to your face, publicly in front of whomever, whenever. I'm not being racist at all, racism would be me making things up, nothing is being made up.
Unfortunately, customer service is a huge issue with me & for good reason. I rate a place based on customer service before I do on food quality. Your burger doesn't have to be the best in town, you don't even have to be the best "order taker" - mess my order up 100 times for all I care, but at least take care of the customer! read more
