    On three different visits at Brooks McDonald's, I have ordered a fish burger and the bun has been stale. I ordered a quarter pounder, and there's no cheese. Seventy-five percent of the time, it will have cheese on it. Your idea of help yourself to the pop is a joke. It is always dirty and messy, and it's usually out of ice. Take-out orders will be missing stuff, like straws and napkins.

    Also, I was in Edmonton in April and went to McDonald's on Yellow Head and 140-something street, and the place was dirty. Three tables were being used, and all the rest were dirty. Also, the floor was dirty, the bathroom was filthy, and the window ledges and the seats were dirty. I mean dirty from buildup over time, not messy from being busy. I expect better.

    I went to McDonald's in Lake Rd., Takapuna on Saturday 12/05 to have something to eat with my husband. I asked for 2x coffees and 2x burgers and was informed that only the breakfast menu was available? So, we settle for McMuffins, about which I was very disappointed, for I only go to McDonald's for burgers. The whole eating area was not clean, and I hope they're busy renovating for a lot of seating was not available? Some tables had no tops, and others were marked with torn paper that they're not to be used. I always go to Albany, and for future, I will rather stick to that branch. What is the point of having burgers at McDonald's but is told not at 9.30 in the morning?

    Well, I went to this McDonald's on 1636 Hwy-19 Griffin, GA 30223 last week and ordered a chicken biscuit meal and she said their drink machine was down. I said that I wanted a frappe anyway. She told me that they don't sell them anymore and that it's been awhile. It's funny because my boyfriend had just one the day before at another McDonald's. So my mom and I went to this same McDonald's on Sunday and I had mentioned to her that they don't sell frappes anymore and she had told me that the lady that works with her got one that morning. So of course, I asked for one and got it that time. I'm so not happy that I was told they don't sell them anymore because they are too lazy to fix it. Thank you!

    I went to your place today in Parker, CO, and my order was cold, coffee was terrible, service was bad and this isn't the first time. I said too many times that I will never go back to that one; however, I kind of had no choice as I was babysitting for my grandson who lives in Parker. There were plenty of employees all on top of each other; all confused and no one really was organized. The play area could use a good cleaning job as well as the whole place.

    I stopped by the McDonald's at 1501 Keowee St., Dayton, Ohio 45404 as I do a couple times a week for breakfast on the way to work. I ordered off the dollar menu as I normally do. Ordering a Sausage McMuffin no egg, the lady that took the order (which as with every morning I stop in is very friendly) told me as normal my order was a dollar. I pulled to the window and paid with a ten dollar bill and was given change. I pulled to the next window and realized that I had only received $6 and some change. I just figured an honest mistake and I looked at the receipt and was charged for oatmeal (another honest mistake).

    I spoke with the woman at the next window. I told her the problem. She took the receipt and change, and made a correction bringing me back another amount. After looking, I now had $7 and some change. I told her that what I had ordered was off the dollar menu. She said she wasn’t sure and checked with another person that I assume was a manager. She said no, that it wasn’t on the dollar menu. I tried telling them that I had just stopped in on Thursday and purchased the same thing and was only charged one dollar. She said they must not have charged me right.

    Needing to get to work, I decided to leave and called to speak to the manager after I got to work. I tried explaining what had happened and she tried telling me that I had not ordered what I had said I did. I order the same thing every morning, only changing with maybe ordering a hash brown to go along with my order. Below is the only response I received from McDonald's Corp. This is some of the worst customer service that I have seen. I was clearly over charged and nobody from McDonald's is willing to do anything about it.

    I worked for a McDonald's in Murfreesboro, TN on Rutherford Blvd and I worked overnight there and most of the time I would not get breaks, but they would edit my time to give me break for 30 minutes a day. I had to also deal with racism there all the time from a manager they hired not long after I worked there. Also I was there for 9 months and never once received a raise therefore made me decide to quit and go to work for another McDonald's in FL where I am being treated better.

    On the morning of April 25/12, I purchased a large coffee at the drive through window heading into work at the Young and King side road location in Richmondhill Ontario. The cashier handed me the large coffee that I purchased through the window and I placed the coffee in my drink holder. My work is located just around the corner from the franchise in question. As I turned the corner into the parking lot, my coffee fell out of its drink holder and spilled out of its container onto my right foot: The coffee was so hot that it penetrated my jeans and my sock on my right foot and caused severe 2nd degree burns to my right foot. I immediately drove to the hospital in excruciating pain to be treated for this unfortunate accident. I will be off work for a few days to allow my very painful burns to heal. Note: No one should serve a beverage so hot that it could cause such a painful and acute injury. I want some answers and I'm not looking for trouble; just a way to mitigate the chances of this happening to someone else. If I don't hear from someone in the next 24 hrs, I will take this situation and the horrific photos of my burnt foot to the media. Thank you.

    I was with my kids when the car broke down in Skewen, Swansea. My kids had not eaten and though McDonald's was open, the cafe part is closed because it is being done up. So I went to the window and said that, "I broke down in your car park now because my car caught fire and they put it out. I had my three kids with me. Can I have three happy meals for my kids please?" And they said no. I begged them and my kids with me. I said, "I got cash for them. Please my kids had no food yet," and they still said no. So I said, "Can I please?" They said, "No car, no food." A very nice man came along and said, "I will get them kids for you," and they looked at him and said, "No, you won't. She has got no car." He said, "I have." So I have 12 people look at this. It took 25 minutes just to get my kids food then some man who we did not know helped us. My kids love McDonald's. I have a one year old, six-year old and nine-year old. It's not their fault we broke down and they are being refurnished. The date is 23.4.2012 in Skewen, Swansea. Thank you. Hope to hear you soon.

    I emailed McDonald's today with a complaint I have about the City Centre McDonald's in Wakefield, England (UK). They advertise that they are open from 5am in the morning. I work nights and have been to this McDonald's at around 5:15-5:30 most mornings. Most of the time, it's either closed or the staff inside have been late and the machines aren’t ready for making food and I’m told there’s a 15-20 minute wait. The morning staff looks a bit shabby - running about the kitchen in their hoods and “non-uniform” clothing, which surely is not company policy for hygiene standards. If McDonald's can’t open at 5am because all the staff turns up late, then they need to change their open hours! I wonder what response I will get from my email!

    My bill order time was 21:36. The delivery reached me at 23:00. I am very surprised that the delivery man took more than 1.5 hours to deliver as the McDonald’s store is not more than 3 km from my house. Also, the delivered item were in such a bad state that the paper bag containing items and the burger covers were all torn and the burgers were all squeezed! The chips also were filled in a very less quantity in the cartons. I have taken the snaps of the items delivered. After placement of my order, I received a lot of calls from the McDonald’s store to confirm whether I have received the order. Consequences: my children had to sleep without food as it was too late to order anything else for them. Bill number: **; bill date: 21/04/2012.

    I have been working in Washington, PA for the past 3 weeks. There is a McDonald’s next to the hotel. I go in every morning and at lunch because it is convenient and I am used to my order being wrong at least 4 out of 10 times. The last 3 were on consecutive days. One morning, I ordered a sausage and egg biscuit with a large coffee with 5 creams and 5 sugars. I got to the job and I had a sausage biscuit and a black coffee. That afternoon I ordered a double cheese burger and medium fries with a large Coke. I got to the job and had no cheeseburger and the Coke was diet.

    The next morning I ordered a big breakfast with hotcakes and requested extra butter and syrup. The extra syrup was $0.40 extra. I got to the job and I had the extra syrup, but no butter at all. What’s the use? I'm not a complainer and I don't check my order at the window for fear of holding up the line. I have noticed that most of the problems are at sites that have a double drive-through. I have decided that this is a way of life at McDonald’s and no one there really cares about customer service anymore. But I will hold up the line from now on and check my order.

    I was trying to get some food. I was in line for ten minutes at the McDonald's 24-hour drive-thru. When I got up to the window, the man told me that they stopped selling food until 4am. But the cars in front of me got food. I feel like it was because I was white. The person in front of me was a black man and the man that was working there was also black. I work in the fast food business. I have never seen anyone acted like that before. I will never go to a McDonald's again and there are four in my area.

    I was there at Dana Branch in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and was in line for over 10 minutes behind a man at counter #2. I noticed only one employee preparing food trays for over 9 trays. After waiting this for 10 minutes, he is going back and forth and did not say anything. I told him, “Excuse me, can anyone take our order?” He said, “Wait.” I said, “How long we need to wait?” He said, “Can't you see I am alone here and there are many orders?” I said, “I see **, Allan, you must ask for help.” Then he started taking orders from another counter which was not there before and ignored me and the man in front of me. I told him, “Why are you taking orders from this counter and not this one?” These people just came. He mumbles something I could not understand.

    I asked him, “Where is your manager?” He pointed to a man and I asked, “Are you the manager and what is your name?” He said, “I am Jeni, a Filipino national.” I complained to him and he said they are very busy. I complained about ignoring us with no courtesy when we waited for a long time. He was okay but could not manage the situation. They took my order after a few minutes and I left and sat on a table. The manager came back a after about 15 minutes and said nicely, “Your order is ready sir,” and apologized. I told him no problem and thank you but I will send this complaint for future improvement.

    I recently visited a McDonald's location in Pennsauken, New Jersey. I ordered a Mighty Kids meal and my son informed me at the last minute that he wanted three sweet and sour sauces. The cashier said that it would be an additional charge in the amount of 21 cents. I said fine and proceeded to hand her my $1.00 bill. The cashier or team lead never wronged this transaction up, they had a basket filled with change on the side and my change was given from the basket. The team lead or supervisor that was assisting her (Patricia) told the young lady that she should not have given me anything. Unfortunately I did hear the rude comment that was made by Patricia, since I was still sitting at the window.

    When I asked Patricia to repeat herself, she informed me that I should have gone around in the drive-thru because I was holding the line up. I had no problem with paying the additional money, but I did have a problem simply because the way I was treated and it seemed as though they were trying to pocket the money, because I never received a receipt and I never saw them ring up the transaction. I called after pulling off and spoke with a supervisor by the name Darlene. I asked for her name when she first answered and she informed me that she was not giving me her name. Darlene proceeded to make excuses for Patricia's behavior, instead of informing me that she will take care of the matter at hand.

    I expressed my concerns on the way they treat their customers. Darlene later tried to rectify the problem by offering me a free meal, but due to the behavior that was displayed, I declined. I would never want to eat anything again from this location ever again, because the customers should be given the utmost respect and that was definitely not displayed in this establishment.

Half way back to where I'm going, I found that she only gave me 1 box of nugget and I went back, and she gave it to me. When I'm back enjoying my food, I found that when I up-sized my meal, it should come along with a popcorn chicken, but I didn't receive any. When I opened my McSpicy box, it's a chicken burger.

    I work for McDonald's. I have previously worked for McDonald's throughout high school, roughly 10 years ago. McDonald's is currently paying for me to go get my degree and move on to bigger and better things. I work as the order taker, you know, the bubbly, fun girl who takes your order on the speaker and gets your order right every time, as seen on your receipts.

    Here's a general walk-through of my duties and responsibilities. First, I say, "Hello, would you like to try our new (Shamrock Shake, McBites, Strawberry Creme Pie--whatever the new thing is at the time)." I promptly and courteously take your order, even when you're being rude to me, drunk, or stoned. When I verify your order is correct on the screen, I kindly ask you to please pull to the first window. Normally, this is an easy task for you, but sometimes you whip past me onto the pick-up window. This makes me have to ask the next person waiting at the speaker box to "Please hold" while I walk to the front of the store, take your money, walk back to my register, cash you out, and walk your change and receipt back to you.

    Then I am able to take the next person's order, who only wanted a large Sweet Tea. I make up for the wait by saying the Sweet Tea is on me for their inconvenience. Hopefully, this makes your day, but most of the time, I don't even get a thank you. I digress, getting back to the duties and responsibilities. When you stop at my window, the pay window, I smile and say, "Hello! Your total is $x.xx." As I cash you out, I ask how your day is going. I rarely get more than a low grumble.

    Meanwhile, the kitchen staff is busy complaining about how much food you just ordered. The manager is running around like a chicken with head cut off, probably on the cell phone or just sitting in the office, while I try to be the friendly employee. And I know that I am nice to each customer, as I would expect someone to be nice to me.

    I don't think the general public has any clue how a restaurant that specializes in fast food works. Along with the order taking, I am responsible for making all the Pies, Cookies, Sweet and Regular Tea, keeping the break room spotless, checking for errors on the menu versus computer, washing every single dish there is in the store, sweeping, mopping, windex-ing, cleaning the parking lot after my shift has ended, and most Importantly, keeping a good attitude as well as personally fixing any problems you may have, as the managers could give a ** less.

    I do care, I want you to be happy, and I'm glad you chose to come to my McDonald's. I'll chat with your kid about the latest happy meal toy. I'll give you a promo if your order was incorrect on your last visit. I really try to do my best to make sure you have a happy experience. But, my general manager hates me, and I'll never be promoted to anything in this company, which is sad. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can't please everyone all the time, but I sure do try. It'd be nice to get a little kindness from the general public in return every once in a while.

    My partner and I were a bit hungry so we thought we would go to McDonald's to have a Big Mac meal. When we got there, we had to wait for the food for about 15 minutes. It came back absolutely stone cold. We bit in to the burger and we could not eat them. We tried the fries and they were the same as well. So I took the food back up and they said they would give us fresh food. We had our meal back and to be honest the fries was lovely and warm and the bottom of the burgers was freezing again. I didn't want to take them back up because I didn't want to make no more fuss. But I usually go there and have nice food. To be honest, we've both been extremely ill with upset stomachs and going to the toilet up and down all night.

    My daughter and I visit the McDonald’s located on 51st and Roe in Roeland Park, KS on a daily basis during the work week. Last Friday, 3/30/12, we placed our order and we hadn't even paid at the first window, when the woman at the second window had our food order hanging out the drive thru window, as if we were slowing her down. We proceeded to the window and our order was incorrect, however, we didn't notice it until we were on our way to work and school. So, I took a picture of the order on my cell phone and then made a call to the store.

    The person that answered the phone should not be allowed to answer calls. He was difficult to understand and I don't think he spoke English or if he did, I couldn't make out what he was saying. I asked to speak to the manager and I did manage to understand from him that the manager was too "busy" to take my call. He said he'd take my phone number and the manager would call me.

    Needless to say, I never received a call back. I'm angry because this person probably did not pass my number on, being that he didn't speak the language or the fact that the manager didn't think it was worth their time/effort to return my call. I would like my money returned since I did not receive what I was charged for. I have a copy of my receipt and pictures of what we received. I am a loyal customer. However, if this is how a customer that patronizes a business on a daily basis is treated, I may have to take my business elsewhere.

    Today, just now at around 2 pm, I purchased two McDonald’s Junior Chicken in the store located at 7270, Rue Saint-Jacques Ouest, Montreal, QC H4b 1W1. The right price should be $3.2 for the 2 Junior Chicken sandwiches. I gave the cashier $20 by cash and she returned to me only $9 something. By doing so, she charged me $10 something for the 2 Junior Chicken sandwiches! And she just put the bill on the desk and waited to serve up the sandwiches. And I waited aside. When my sandwiches were ready, I went to take, but there was no my bill at all—maybe another customer took it by mistake. I asked the cashier and her manager about my bill. They said they can only check the last 10 transaction records and they could not find it in their cash machine at that moment. At last, they said they can try to check it in today’s transaction data after finishing today's business day.

    What I am angry about is the cashier's attitude. I took my child to go to toilet during the long waiting. I cannot always watch out my bill all the time. Supposed if I have the responsibility to watch out my bill all the time, then the cashier should place the bill in my hand, not just leave it on her counter.

    She started shaking her head before I could finish what I was saying. It was like she was shaking her head to the fact that there is a male that works in this place that would answer phones when there is an assistant manager that is a male, which is possibly the person I have talked to. She looked at me as if I'm completely wrong and would not take the time to fix this matter. She wanted me to leave. I was very calm and understanding, but at the same time extremely irritated by this information. I wanted to tell her, "What type of people do you have working in this place that give out false information to people that want or need jobs and come in to try to get one and turns out they have been stood up?" I did not ask this, but I wanted to. I am irritated and I want something to be done. At least, I want them to find out who gave this information out and give them a warning or penalty for it. Isn't there something?

    Rude manager: I have a complaint about McDonald's in Terryville, CT. I went there about 4pm in March 26 with my 2-year-old daughter, and I was treated very poorly by the manager.

    Last Sunday, March 25, 2012, I visited McDonald's restaurant at 7:15 pm, located at 1413 North Vine Street, Hollywood California 90028. At the counter, there was an ** man standing at the cash register talking to a young woman. I waited for about 10 minutes while he was just talking to her. I was the only person in line. He saw me waiting for him to take the order. He turned reluctantly to me and ask me what I want. He asked very rudely. I asked him to give me a senior coffee. He said, "You can't get a senior coffee without purchasing cookie or some other item."

    So I asked him how much is the regular price for a small coffee. He replied "You can't afford to pay it," so I asked him again to tell me how much is it. He said it's $1.60. Then I called a friend who works at McDonald's at the corner of Melrose street and Vermont Ave in Los Angeles, California. He told me that there is a senior discount. When I came back in 5 minutes to tell him that, he said to me not to bother him. I said to him that he is behaving very rude. He turned around in a very threatening manner and walked towards me to hit me. When I told him that I want to talk to the manager, he said go and talk to anyone. He was angry because I interrupted him talking to young lady he was talking to. I asked him to tell me his name. He said, "Just leave. You don't need my name." When a shift leader came, he told her not to give me his name. The shift leader did gave me the store address and location but she did not gave me his name. She told me his name **.

    When I told the manager in the morning shift, he said there is no such person who works there. On Monday, March 26, 2012, I visited the restaurant at the same location at 6:15 am. He was the assistant manager. I told him what I wrote here. I asked him to tell me the name of that employee so I can mention the name to the McDonald's franchise complaint department. He did not tell me either. The employees should be having name tags and should be courteous. This ** guy has an attitude of a street criminal. I am a customer and I give business to this restaurant. I have visited other restaurants like Carl's Jr., Jack in the Box and Pollo Loco and I get a very courteous response from the employees of these restaurants. It is a shame that this McDonald's restaurant has such a bad employee attitude. Jack in the box and Carl's Jr, restaurant even has a card to report any rude attitude or compliments about the food and employee attitude. Your restaurant has no such thing. I will never visit this place again.

    I actually have too many complaints to list. Just had it with this business. Every time, it is something different. It takes forever to get your order, and it is rarely correct. The staff (especially the Manager) is rude and hateful. Incompetence is normal. On a recent visit in the middle of the afternoon, the place was basically empty and we could not find a clean table. We complained to an employee and he said laughing "This is pretty good right now, it is usually much worse." We had to turn around and leave. After all of this, I decided after reserving a Redbox movie online that I would pick up my movie and grab a Big Mac. What a stupid idea that was. It turned out, I left without the movie or the Big Mac, disgusted!

I am 6 months pregnant and I eat there more often now, than when I’m not and there has not been one time that I have gone there and my order was correct. The service is poor. The person at the window is always rude and abrupt. The food is always cold and the order is always incorrect. They never give you what you ask for. They just give you what is already made and most of the time, I just eat it because I’m not going to keep driving back to have it corrected.

    I don’t complain to them because I am afraid of what they will do to my food if I do. I always ask for hot mustard because I like to eat it with my fries and every time I ask for it, they tell me they don’t have it. Yes, you do. The staff is so lazy they just do not want to be bothered with anything. It is so frustrating to come out of work and stop to get a bite to eat and I have to deal with the nonsense of my local McDonald’s. It’s just terrible.

    My local McDonald’s is breaking the law. I suspect this is happening around the county. It has a bait and switch product called Hash Browns.

    The menu lists Hash Browns 2 for one dollar. When I order Hash Browns, they give me only one and charge me 99 cents. Bait and switch. Nowhere on the menu does it state Hash Browns are 1 for .99 cents. The menu only says 2 for $1.00. I've brought this to their attention and they won’t stop this bait and switch practice. I thought if you were charging two prices for the same product, it would be listed on the menu? This has been going on a whole year. I've had to go into the store several times and they always tell me the same thing: "You ordered it wrong, ma’am. You must specify that you are ordering off the dollar menu." When I tell them I’m ordering the only Hash Browns they have on the menu, they don’t get it. They don’t understand that the price has to be on the menu. This has been going on for so long I can’t take it anymore! I'm sick of going in the store for them to correct my receipt and grab my extra Hash Browns. They are ripping us off! It’s not just this store!

    On Wednesday night, February 29, 2012, my husband and I were on our way to church on Starkey Road. We ate at 7480 Starkey Road, 33777. We live in Pasco County but attend services there. I ordered a bacon ranch salad. We ate in the parking lot. As I was almost done, I bit into a slimy unrecognizable object. I immediately spit it out and was horrified. I honestly thought I had a piece of stretched out condom in my mouth. I was nauseous and wanted to throw up, but was in my husband’s car and he tried to calm me down. I very nicely went back inside and spoke with a shift manager. She told me it was not the condom that I thought it was, but a tip to a glove.

    She then even told me she knew who he was and would speak to him. She took down my name and phone number and assured me she would have upper management call me. Almost a week went by and no one called. I called back the following week and spoke with **. I again nicely explained how upset I was. I told her I wasn't complaining about a hair in my food, but a tip of rubber that came off a man’s hand. I told her that the shift manager ** told me the employee takes it off his hand on purpose. Obviously, I was visibly upset inside over this incident. I was never rude or abrupt. ** was very kind and understanding, but never followed through.

    I am really disappointed in this situation. My husband and I have four children. We, like most every family in America, will go out to McDonald’s. At this point, I can never order another salad. Again, this situation of the employee purposely removing a tip is unclean (not to mention probably a Health Department violation) and I ended up with the tip in my mouth.

However, in recent months, with alarming regularity, I have been receiving drinks sweetened with real sugar. I can't drink them, so I have to dump them down the sink when I get to work. Recently, this location set an all-time record by getting my order wrong 5 days in a row. That’s 5 days that my money was dumped down the sink at almost $4 per day. I have called the manager at least a half dozen times and asked her to explain to her staff the potential danger of this type of error. Artificial sweeteners are becoming so sophisticated that I can barely tell the difference from real sugar.

    Today, my daughter and I went to McDonald's inside Wal-Mart on Pacific Ave. in Yuma, Arizona. We both ordered the Big Mac combo meal. The total cost of this meal was a few pennies under $15. My daughter asked for some sweet and sour sauce for our fries. The guy who was taking our order gave her one. She asked if she could have two since we are two people and each wanted one. It was not like that was an unreasonable request. She was told that she could only have one and they would charge her for another. When she told me this, I thought surely that was a mistake.

    We decided not to open the sweet and sour and truthfully it ruined the meal. So upon leaving, I asked to briefly speak to the manager. I politely told him what was said and he said, "Yes, that is correct." I gave him the unused sweet and sour and said, "I guess you need this more than I do. I will not step back into this McDonald's again." The manager said, "Okay, that's fine." He really didn't care. I am thinking wow, what great customer service that was.

    On Sunday night, March 4th, my friend and I and her 7 year old son went to the McDonalds at 611 W Taylor Street, Griffin, GA 30223 (phone number of the store is 770-227-5173 and store # 2267). I hope all the above information is helpful to you seeing that you don’t have a space on this email to list the address, store number, etc. That is surprising.

    Anyway, this particular McDonalds is always out of certain products, such as, ice cream. We brought my friend’s son to McDonalds for a birthday treat, and he really wanted ice cream. Of course, they have no ice cream. My friend told me that was not the first time they were out of ice cream. In fact when we arrived, she said “I bet you they will be out”, and of course they were. They have been out of ice cream for 2 weeks. That is ridiculous. McDonalds spends so much money on advertising. You would expect to get sundaes, or the new Shamrock shake, which we wanted. I think this McDonalds is a disgrace.

    Also, they advertise Happy Meal toys up front in the display for Star Wars toys, and again, they have no Star Wars toys. My friend’s son was so disappointed. It seems to me that this McDonalds and quite a few more in the metro Atlanta area don’t seem to care. I thought McDonalds is very kid friendly. That will be the last time we will ever go to that McDonalds, or any other, if this keeps up. Your company has really gone downhill. It's all about money to you, and you don’t care about the public. You have the rudest employees, and I really don’t think you care.

    The girl who waited on us on Sunday was very nice. I think it must be embarrassing to the front crew to have to tell guests they’re out of things, while the management doesn't do their job, or that they are so overworked, they forget things. It states I do not want an attorney to call me, but I do expect someone from your office to contact me by phone, email, or mail.

    They are selling products at different prices or higher than advertised. McDonald's breakfast menu includes sandwiches/meals. The local store has, for several months, been charging higher prices than posted on their signs. Today, the differential was $4.41 was advertised and $4.52 was charged. The drive through clerk says, "It is programmed in; I can't change it.” The clerk indoors says, "We haven't been able to fix it." This must be trained clerk response because it is identical on every occasion. On at least 6 occasions, I have gone to see the manager. They always offer money back and I explain to them that my real offense is taken at their breaking the law so often and so blatantly.

    I have friends who have had the same experience frequently. There are an unknown number of managers; they all respond the same way, offering the 10 or 11 cents overcharged back with a smile and then saying they have tried to fix the pricing error but can't solve the problem. These errors have persisted through new sets of advertisements with new prices. For a few days, the prices advertised will match the prices charged, and then the prices charged by the computer are raised. This being the only truly fast-food in town, it is easier to accept the small rip-off and not make a fuss, but it is wrong to steal from your customers.

    No one would object to raised prices. This store prepares consistent and good food for its type. It is the blatant dishonesty of programming in a higher price than what was advertised and taking advantage of customers who may or may not notice and getting away with it by paying off the occasional complaint with a dime or so. The bottom line: the business stole money from me by programming their computer to charge more than the advertised price. The business, when I complained, cheerfully refunded the money. The business continues its practice of overcharging daily.

I asked for a refund. They kept the food and I am done. No more McDonald’s for me and my family. Basically, they charged me $0.80 cents for one piece of cheese.

    I had a promo coupon for one "free" McGriddle with the purchase of another McGriddle. It turns out that it wasn't free at all. The cashier charged me separately for the McGriddle, the drink, and the hash brown. So my total came to be $4.79 instead of $3.99 for a meal. I basically paid an extra $.80 for a free McGriddle. I am writing a letter to corporate and calling corporate and posting this information wherever I can.

    McGriddles are my favorite McDonalds menu item and the ONLY item I get outside of fries. Because of this "promo," I am no longer eating there again. Also, I paid an extra $1 for your fundraiser, but now I am questioning the validity of that.

    In a recent radio ad, McDonald's states "petting a stray pitbull - now that's dangerous." Well no **!Petting any stray dog is dangerous, especially a larger breed because they could do damage if they chose to. But, the point is that McDonald's exclusively singled out "pitbulls" which further aids to the ignorance of breed discrimination promoted by the media.

    If they had stated "petting a stray dog - now that's dangerous" then it would be okay. But instead they chose to promote a negative image of pitbulls alone which is offensive to a lot of lovers of pitbulls and pitbull owners. Now, the customer service line issues an apology and states the ad has been scrapped, but I still feel like they should attempt to make real amends by negating the view they just supported by possibly doing a commercial involving a family with a loving pitbull.

    It's just a shame that millions of people already heard this, and only people that are concerned about the breed's misrepresentation have heard the apology. What about the rest of the public who still heard the nonsense? I bet they haven't even considered attempting to counteract the negative seed planted in the minds of many individuals who do not know personally how loving and loyal this breed can be.

    Has anyone heard of McDonalds' new radio commercials? Their new bites are safer than petting a pit bull! It is ridiculous! the American Temperament Test Society TTd 804 pit bulls, 86.4% passed. Yet golden retrievers had 40 less dogs tested, and 5 more failed, leaving them at around 84% passed. McDonalds has to target the pit bull, because it feeds into the lies that surround the breed. I know one thing for sure, they just lost 3 customers, until at least after a public apology is issued. We may not even go back after that. Oh, and 55% of the calories in the snack size chicken bites are from fat. How are they "safer than petting a pit bull"?

    It's so upsetting for my son and I, when we go to McDonald's for certain toys in your happy meals, find out that you don't have any left. (I always try to go the first week that the new toys are out) This has happened more then once. I've lost count. Yes, I can change it somewhere else but that is not the point. The point is, at that moment, when my son gets his happy meal he's so happy and excited to get that toy. Then he notices it's not the one advertised. We end up getting a toy that doesn't do anything.

    You're not the one who has to see the look on my son's face of sadness and disappointment. Then I have to tell him don't open it we can try to return it at another McDonald's for the right one. But wait, the other McDonald's doesn't have any either. So glad I have a car. Spending a lot of gas for a McDonald's toy. Enough is enough!

    Most of the time we don't exchange so my son goes with out. Your Happy Meals are suppose to make kids happy. Well not mine. Just the other day, he asked to go to Burger King. It's because he knows his toy is going to be something else than what's advertised. Again, I lost count on how many times we have gone and they are out of toys that are advertised.

    Our family loves eating the McDonald's McFlurry. Today, while my daughter was eating her Oreo McFlurry, she said that there was a piece of plastic in her mouth. When she took it out, it turns out that the piece of plastic came from the lid of the McFlurry cup. I wouldn't complain if it was just one piece that accidentally broke. But upon examination of the lid, there were multiple places where the lid was broken and the plastic was broken. My daughter is old enough (10 years old) that she was able to detect the difference in texture from the ice cream, but my concern is for children that are younger.

    Looking at the piece of the broken lid, it is large enough that it could have gotten lodged in the throat of smaller children and caused physical damage. I went back to the store to talk to the manager on duty, but he said that this was the first time he has seen anything like this. I have the unfinished cup of the McFlurry with broken lid and numerous plastic pieces from the lid. I would warn parents to be careful and inspect the lids before giving them to their young children.

I then had to go back up there and get our fries in which I told my husband that you can't leave the parking lot without checking the bag just in case they forget something which is pretty often. I went inside and a young man asked me if he could help me. I explained to him that my husband just came through he drive thru and didn't get his fries. The manager over by the window says, yeah I know and told the boy kind of rudely to get me four small fries, he does and hands them to me and says sorry. The manager did not apologies or say anything to me. I know that she may not have thought it was a big deal but it was an inconvenience to me.

    I am not complaining because I think that I am better than anyone or am a complainer all the time. I am doing this because I used to work at McDonald's. I was in the process of becoming a manager myself but had some family issues came up and I didn't get to pursue that career. It just seems to me that this McDonald's has gone down hill and that their corporate office doesn't seem to care how they are represented.

    It was the first time I went through drive-thru and ordered a McGriddle. I went home and when I opened it, I noticed there was no cheese. I thought it was a just a minor mistake. Then the 2nd time I ordered 2 McGriddles without checking, I went home to see that both of them are missing eggs.

    They give the worst service, than I've ever seen before. I have ordered at 1.12 PM at Mcdonalds. Supposedly, they should have delivered under 45 minutes,but our food arrived at 2:30 PM. What's worse is that the food is not even hot, and the nuggets were hard. I also stated that they give us 6 packets of chili sauce, but they only delivered 2,which is not enough for 2 sets of their chicken meal. This is not good service. The total of our bill (S072-12/12/2011-199103_1) is RM41.50.

    I patronize the local McDonald's restaurants often. I have observed a general decline in the cleanliness of the stores and in the quality of the service. I particularly resent the service personnel referring to me as "honey" and other demeaning words. More oversight is needed for the stores in this area.

    I went through the drive up on Friday, 11/25 at 6:42 PM. Yes, the day after Thanksgiving, and if there ever was any Christmas spirit there, it had disappeared. All I got was a bunch of hate, and a smart aleck, disrespectful assistant manager's attitude. I paid with a credit card at the first window, and the young girl, Katlin, did not offer to give me a receipt. I looked and waived at the window, attempting to get her attention, but she had her back to the window. She was being distracted by this young assistant manager, named David. He was busy trying to play "grab-**" with her.

    Finally, she looked at the window, and I politely asked for a receipt, and she stared at the machine with a lost look on her face. She looked back at me with an embarrassed look. I said to her making a joke, and attempting to get her in gear, "do you even know what day of the week it is"? Everybody behind me was honking, and the 2nd window had been holding my food out, waving at me for almost 5 minutes. When I said that to Katlin, the manager, David jumped into the window and said, "don't you ever talk back to my girl". I said, "she's not you're girl, she's your employee, and I'm just trying to get her to do her job. You're bothering her, and now she's having a problem getting my receipt". I said this, all in a fairly low voice, without getting too excited at this point. He said, "I will get you a receipt".

    Then we moved to the next window, and got my food. My wife, at this point, had not seen his name tag that noted that he was one of the managers, and she leaned over and said, "is the head manager around tonight". Then David ran up to the window and with a real smirk on his face said, "Oh, you thought you were going to get me in trouble, but you see I am the manager". I said, "well you have a boss and he is going to hear about this". He said, " I am the manager, that's the end of the discussion".

    Now, at this point I was starting to get upset, and was now ready to drive off. I said "drop dead". He said to me, " you already look like you're dead". What a nice, professional way to handle a customer, and get repeat business.

    David is not management material. I was at the McDonald's at SR135, near the Kroger shopping center during the holidays. There was a nicely dressed gentleman standing at the front counter when my wife and I walked in on a Friday evening about 6:30 PM. He was waiting for his food, and was starting to get upset.

    I had waited a little while, and finally he said to what looked like the operations manager, "I'd like to get my food. I have 5 grandchildren waiting to eat". The manager handled it professionally, and courteously. He said, "Sir I'm sorry about the wait and for your inconveience. Here's your food. We've just been exceptionally busy, which I guess is a good thing, but I do apologize. Thank you again for waiting."

    Now, we have poor young David who needs to take the trash out, and flip the fries, because he likes to put the customers down. How many times has he done this to people like my wife and her mother, who are just too sweet to complain. I, on the other hand, don't mind being a pain in the ass, because I just won't go back to that location until he moves on, which won't be long. I imagine someone that is actually in the resturant will go across the counter someday and they will have to call the cops, and that will end his career as one of your employees.

    I do hope I get to see this on YouTube, as I did watch a black lady get up on the counter at Burger King, and vent. David has no "people skills". He's never taken any management classes in "handling customers and/or irate customers". How about just being a considerate human being, and not having to enter in to an argument with the customer.

    This is the sort of thing that the Greenwood and Whiteland papers need to get in their "sound off about it" columns. Well, we'll see if anyone can "talk some sense in to this peacock". I never called his boss at the local store, because I knew he would lie in advance about it to his boss, and get his girlfriend to back him up. I know that this is a separate franchise that gets to do their own little program. Maybe for the sake of the McDonald's Nationwide's reputation, you can "smack their little hands", and help them to see what everyone always says, "the customer is always right". I can't wait until David gets a really upset customer over a blatant error by an employee, and if he "blows up again".

    I purchased a small hazelnut latte through the drive-thru on Monday, 28 November. I traveled several miles and when I tasted it, there was no taste. Then, when I got it down to where I could shake it up, it was "sickeningly" sweet. I could not drink it and had to throw it away. I kept my receipt and returned this morning. I told them about it and they said that they had to have the product. I asked, "What should I have done, turn around and go ten miles backtracking to return it?" She said that the rule is that you return the product.

    We have a TV station in my area where we can call and they will come out and we can air our complaints on TV with viewing in three states. I am seriously thinking of doing this to let everyone know what terrible service you provide and then do not want to make it right. First of all, you all need to train your people or get someone who is "trainable" and teach them how to prepare a product. You also need to advise them that they need to at least give a napkin when going through the drive-thrus. I have to ask every time for a napkin. This is very poor service.

    It was around 2:00A.M., November 25, 2011. We had just arrived at a 24-hour McDonald’s restaurant drive-thru at corner of Jackson St. and Watkins St. at Hayward, California. We had just ordered from a male person a go-large 20-piece Mc Nugget meal at the first window, which includes 2 large drinks and 2 large fries along with another extra large fry plus we requested for 2 BarBQ sauce and 2 honey mustard which goes with the meal. As we arrived at the second window, a white lady helped us. The first thing she gave was our 2 large drinks, which was not a problem. Then she brought and gave one big bag with the 3 large fries and the 20 piece nuggets. Then I noticed that the 3 French fries was not much. I even looked at her and said these looks like medium fries. She answered, "That’s all we have for now." She then closed the window on us. Me and my wife looked at each other, then we both waited for 15 seconds but she never went back to the window and assist us. I could not go out because I was so tired from a Thanksgiving party we just came from.

    As we left I, was looking at her window and there she pops out helping the next customer. When we got home, I noticed more things were missing from the bag. There was no straws for our drinks, no napkins to wipe with, no sauce that goes with the meal. It was a very unprofessional service. We were so disappointed with the service. I don't know what to say if it’s a management issue or if it’s with that particular employee only. I think it’s little bit of both. I'm sure we are never going to that McDonald’s ever again.

They are rude, disrespectful and non-sympathetic.

    I've worked in the Renaissance building in Detroit for over 6 years, my colleagues and I have complained to the franchise owner of this McDonald's on numerous occasions however nothing has changed, it actually got worse. We don't go to this place anymore and the experience has caused me not to go to McDonald's anywhere else.

    When you spend your hard money for food outside of the grocery store, you expect to be respected for patronizing the business and receiving a good product and service because you could have spent your hard earned money somewhere else. But the way these managers and employees treat you at this particular location makes me believe that these employees don't need a job and that McDonald's has become such a conglomerate that they don't need my business.

    I am and have been an employee of a McDonald's restaurant here in Yreka, CA located near the Oregon border - approximately 19 miles south - and the I-5 Corridor goes right through the middle. Just to let you know, I have been happily (as minimum wage jobs go) employed here for almost three years. I am attending a local community college full-time and also working full-time.

    Since I started working here at McDonald's, I have been a closing shift crew member, and my usual shifts are always 5 PM to 1 AM, 6 PM to 2 AM, or 7 PM to 3 AM, depending upon the time of the year. This particular McDonald's is a franchise owned by two local women; they also own another McDonald's in a neighboring town located about 25 miles south of Yreka, CA.

    I work in either one of the two drive-thru windows on almost every shift I have ever worked during the last three years, and I am really very good at it; our regular customers love me, to pretty much sum up what they actually say to me and my co-workers and managers on a regular basis. We encourage them to call the 1-800 number to record their comments - yes, we do get our share of complaints as well, but that wouldn't be realistic to be coating the truth with heavy syrup. Of course, you will always deal with **, grouches, and ** no matter what you may (or may not) do for a living; wherever your path of life leads you, people on both sides of the fence will deal with other **, grouches, and **, either as a customer or as someone who works with the public. My line of work puts me directly in the path of thousands of people every month, hundreds each and every day that I work.

    We have our share of complaints about our guests, just like many of you have about us. For example, one day, the power went down due to a huge power surge in a grid; the power was down for more than two hours, so instead of serving food to people, we were throwing away lots of it that was pre-cooked and/or pre-thawed. All of our machines - ice cream, frappe, McCafe, coffee makers - everything was down and out because they all run off of electricity. Our ice cream machine (soft-serve) in particular, after being down for more than one hour, goes into "heat-mode" which triggers it to shut down for at least three to four hours, and sometimes longer. This also happens every night after we close the restaurant and leave for the night. In the morning it is brought back to life, but only following the "heat-mode" status.

    So during this power outage of reference, we closed our doors for business; however, we had to leave them open due to the fact that our stacks that suck out all the smoke from our grills and fryers also run on electricity, and we couldn't breathe without opening windows and doors to cross-ventilate our work area. Meanwhile, as potential (and extremely disappointed) guests came and went, we were flipped off, cussed at, yelled at, sniffed at - pretty much every kind of attack I can think of, short of physical violence, during the entire time. We even had a couple of people try to crawl through our drive-thru window to get in, and all they wanted was food; it's not like they were trying to rob us or anything - they just really, really wanted to get in the restaurant.

    So while many people complain like they do of the horrible service they get at McDonald's restaurants, they continue to beat the doors down to get in and buy a cheeseburger and fries, etc. Many of our regular customers come through the drive-thru, during my shift alone, as much as three to four times a night. It's crazy.

    So about the power outage - to finish the story - we were able to reopen about three hours later when the power finally came back on, but we couldn't serve any ice cream because the machine was in "heat-mode," and, I kid you not, people were extremely rough with words and attitudes because they couldn't get an ice cream cone. So maybe there are some of us who just act out in return to getting thrashed on by guests who think little of the minimum wage earner, the blue collar worker who by their definition may very well be a "loser" in their lofty opinions.

    That being said, fast food in general is for convenience to the customer stand-alone. When you come in to any fast food drive-thru, please try to be ready to order. Don't make your order-taker wait three or four minutes before you are even ready to place your order while they wait for you to get off your cell phone. Calm down the kids in the back seat, decide what you want to order, look for your money. There are a variety of other things to do behind the scenes that during all that empty non-productive time while some of you pull your head out of your ** could be better spent doing, not to mention that now there are a minimum of, lets say, six to eight cars waiting behind you. Some of them turned around and went elsewhere or came inside because unlike you, they were ready to place an order. All this is maybe because you just wanted to be ahead of everyone else at the front of the line, am I right?

    I only know these things because I have been guilty of these social crimes myself, and having been on both sides, I understand how things tick, which makes me more tolerant than most. But it also has taken a heavy toll on me until every once in a great while I get to blow off some steam. This was just that kind of an opportunity. So I will close now by simply saying, "Please, and thank you."

    I went to McDonald's on Hwy 55 at 12:30 am, through the drive-thru. I ordered a cheeseburger kids meal. I was told they could not sell me a kids meal because of the time! I asked to speak to the manager. He (Ryan **) stated that they were not going to sell me the kids meal or just a cheeseburger. I let me know that the menu did not state that they were serving on a limited menu. After about an hour of arguing my point with him, I asked for the owner's name and phone number. He gave me the name. But in turn, he gave me a number that was the restaurant's number when I asked for owner's cell phone. I called the number and the other manager (Salif **) just let the phone ring. After complaining to corporate, someone contacted me from corporate. The person told me that the owner of that franchise would be calling me and I would receive vouchers in the mail. This happened in July/August. I have heard nothing and have not received nothing in the mail. All in all, McDonald's is a company that will tell you anything. I will discourage anyone from visiting them.

    I purchased 3 softy ice creams, one with chocolate dip. The taste of the cream was very different which was like old cream & the sales person gave lots of cream nearly 400gm cream was given for all the three cones. However, by tasting some portion of the cream we found that there is something wrong in the ice cream. Then, I went to the sales person to complain about it but he gave the cream to other sales person to taste it he said it is okay & then again he gave the same ice cream cone. I threw all the cones in the dustbin, which was kept in McDonalds. No action was taken in this case.

    I ordered a 20-piece Chicken Mcnugget Meal with large fries and a large Dr. Pepper. The window teller proceeded to ask what kind of sauce I would like. I said, "Honey mustard." Well, I pulled up and paid almost $10 for the meal. I proceeded to the next window where they asked me to pull up and wait. When the drive through teller brought my meal, I only received half an order of fries, no honey mustard, and a watered down drink. I didn't check the bag until I had already gotten home. Seriously?!

    Beside their prices going up, service going down, and their ability to provide what they show in all of their commercials, along with all the pictures they have up in every store, I am wondering, what could possibly be next? I mean, really. Is a large fry equal to a half empty container? Get it together or I foresee a business going bankrupt because the local all-you-can-eat buffet, whose food is better prepared, better served, and just about the same price will 9 times out of 10 times take your business!

    Honestly, I don’t get this! People are being so judgmental about this. I do understand that some of the restaurants' standards are very poor but you should get this, these people who are working in McDonalds' are being treated like dirt all day by the customers. Just because it's called fast food you all expect them to serve you in 10 seconds, have you ever thought about the people who are working there? They need to earn money to take care of their family and studies etc., but they have to ask their managers to drink water or to go to the toilet.

    They work their butts' off, and what do they get? Only minimum wage and lots of crap from customers acting like people working there are idiots! Just put yourselves in their shoes, have you ever worked there, under so much pressure? And when it comes to using gloves, do you really think that when you go to a classy restaurant those chefs are using gloves to cook your precious food?

    Do you know that people who work in McDonalds' have to wash their hands like every 10 minutes, whilst your classy restaurants chefs wash their hands every 30 minutes or maybe an hour or maybe not until the end of the night? If you've been there more than once or twice, and you are not sure about the quality, service, professionalism, don't go there then! No one is telling you that you have to eat at McDonalds. I mean what do you expect from a 2 dollar burger? And for the people who say that they got their order mixed up , stop being too self-centered and stop being so obsessed with the food. Maybe the person who got your order mixed wasn't having a good day maybe her or his mom was in a hospital at the other part of the town and she or he couldn’t be there and they had to work on that day . They couldn’t get their head together and gave you a Big Mac instead of your precious Quarter! What’s the difference, get over it?

    Everyone knows what you're going to get at McDonalds; maybe you should work on your expectations. After all, the people who are working there could be your kids, your neighbors’ kid, your niece , your nephew etc , but who raised those kids? You, your neighbor, your sister, or your brother, they made those kids so carefree and rude. So stop blaming them because the behavior is learned, you aren't born with it. FYI, I've never worked at McDonalds not my relatives or anyone that I know.

    The McDonald's on Oxford State Road in Middletown, Ohio is the worst one I have ever been in. I have been going there for many years. But the last couple of months have been horrible! I don't know what kinds of changes have happened there, but something needs to be done to fix this problem. One time, my order was messed up three times before I even received my food. The second time, they made us pull to the side, granted I know sometimes this happens no big deal. But there were six cars at a time! And the worker came out going from car to car with the food, asking "what did you order" to give the right customer the right food. That is very sad! The third time in two months, I was denied a receipt because they were out of paper. So, someone is clearly not doing their job! Also, every time I want to get an ice cream, the machine doesn't work. I see a lot of young people working in there. I know they need a job too. But at least put a grown up there to babysit them, because all they do is goof off and mess everyone's order up.

    My family and I are always eating McDonald's. Therefore, they receive a lot of my money. The past 4 times I have gone there, through the drive-thru, I have been parked for simple orders and have waited up to 30 minutes. One day, I got tired of waiting. So, I went in to see what the hold up was. The employees were in there playing, and my order was just sitting on the counter. There was no telling how long it had been there, because the order was cold.

    Another time after waiting outside, after being parked, I once again went in to check on my food, in case they had just sat it on the counter and forgot about it again. I was going to speak to the manager about the terrible customer service. But she was too busy cursing out another customer, simply because he was also upset about the wait he had. At the time of the argument between the two, it was a lobby full of customers. When the man stated he would go over her and complain, she said she didn’t give a ** because no one would do anything about it. This seems to be very true. I feel like if the local store cannot get its managers and employees in order, then it needs to be shut down completely because the service is that awful. If it really kills you to smile and you don’t like your job, then get away from customer service!

    On June 19, 2011 at about 10:20 PM, my wife and I stopped at the McDonald's located at 1335 S Washington, Emmett, Idaho to pick up movies we had reserved online from Redbox. We parked immediately in front of the Redbox machine on the left (machine A). After collecting the movies, I returned to the car to leave, but the car would not start. In McDonald's I told the girl working behind the counter that our car was parked in front of the Redbox and wouldn't start. I told her we needed to leave it parked there until we could figure out a way to get it. I also told her it was a blue-green Intrepid. The girl told us that she will let her manager know about the car, and it would be okay. I ordered my wife some food then we left McDonald's at 10:50 PM. The following morning (June 20), I met the tow truck provided by our insurance company at McDonalds to pick up our car. To my surprise I found that our car was gone.

    The manager, Matt **, said they had to have the car towed for their service truck to get in, and he was sorry it had to be done. He gave me a business card from the tow company who had done the towing, Black Canyon Towing and Recovery. Upon calling Black Canyon Towing I learned it would cost us $190.00 in cash to get the car out, if it was before 5:00 PM. We finally obtained the money to get our car back by getting a loan from Money Tree. This cost us an additional $54.65, which we could not afford to spend at this time, but it was our only option. Not only had we been given permission to leave the car parked there, I have since learned that the towing of the vehicle from McDonalds was illegal to begin with because there were no signs posted, as per Idaho code 49-1806.

    I have contacted the manager of the McDonald's in Emmett, Matt **, and his boss, Diane **. Neither would do anything to help me. I have tried contacting Richard Darmody, President of Darmody Enterprises, who owns a number of the local McDonald's, including the one in Emmett. I have received no response whatsoever from him. I have tried contacting McDonald’s main office in Oak Brook, Illinois, and have no response as of now either. McDonald's is responsible for this incident. I prefer to give them the opportunity to make this right by reimbursing me for the costs incurred, $190.00 for the towing and $54.65 for the loan, totaling to $244.65. However, the longer they ignore my complaint and fail to respond to me, the more inclined I am to take legal action.

As I reached for my glass, I noticed a lipstick print on the side of my glass, around the rim as if someone took the lid off and took a drink. It was not mine, nor the color of any lipstick I own. It was hot pink. This, of course, immediately grossed me out. As I contacted my fiance via text message and told him what happened, I forwarded him a few pics. He was very upset as well.

When the girl came with the money, I showed her the box and gave her the sandwich back. She said, "We don't reimburse the money" so she gave me another sandwich to replace the first one.

    I am sending you this correspondence to inform you of my experience on 9/2/11 at 11 pm. I had arrived at 11 pm and used the drive through, placed my order, paid at the first window, and then waited for 40 minutes before reaching the second window to retrieve my food. While waiting at the second window, I observed the drive through attendant standing at the front counter chatting with a customer who was not placing an order. When she returned to the window, she couldn't remember whether she had given me my drink or not. I said, "No," and then she gave me a half full cup. I told her about the drink and she unapologetically made another drink.

    When I inquired about the wait time, she gave an excuse (not a reason) of, "Well, it's Friday night," which I could only take that she meant that it's extra busy on a Friday night, which it wasn't. I decided to just forget it and go home. On the way home, I was checking the order and then discovered that I had waited 40 minutes for an incomplete order. I returned to the store, obviously upset, and knocked on the door to get the attention of the employees.

    I have to assume that the teenaged employee who answered the door was the manager or a supervisor because he was wearing a blue uniform shirt. He opened the door and said, "What's the problem." I said, "I was given an incomplete order." He returned with, "Well, you don't need to be banging on my door." I ignored the rude comment and told him, "I was shorted two McChickens," and handed him the receipt. He turned to go back into the store and I followed. As he was returning behind the counter he commented, "So you came banging on my door over two McChickens."

    I couldn't believe my ears and responded to his comment harshly about my 40 minute wait for substandard service. Without further comment, he proceeded to the kitchen and then returned with the rest of my order at which time he said (without apology and with an extreme sarcastic tone), "Here you are sir. Have a nice day." On my way out the door, I couldn't help but notice how the dining room had customers in it well past closing time without McDonald's products at their tables and that all of these customers appeared to be under aged minors (teens). If it seems that I am insinuating something, I am.

    It appeared these customers were being allowed to stay without any other reason than they were friends of the employees (special favors). I know that this low level of service and this undisciplined level of management is not the standard of the McDonald's corporation. Please feel free to respond back to me with your findings. I hope something can be done to correct this problem. Thank you for your time in considering the gravity of my complaint.

    P.S. On a side note I'd like to say with regret that this is not the first time I have received substandard service at this particular store location.
