McDonald’s

This McDonalds provides a very high level of customer service nearly equal to that of the corporate McDonalds in Burnside.
I don’t know how the managers motivate people who make next to no money to be so good with customers but dayuuum, they do it right at this location.

It’s a Christmas miracle! The newest addition to the Scotia Square food court opened up today, 3 whole days early! Despite the very large custom-​made vinyl sign that was advertising the opening date as Dec. 30^th, I was surprised to see them open and taking peoples’ money in return for food and beverage.
I’m not an anti-​fast-​food person, and have definitely eaten my fair share of McNuggets, so I know what to expect at McDonald’s. Today being the opening day, I had slightly higher hopes than usual because I figured they would try and impress the folks who normally grab their lunch at any of the finer/​healthier stalls in the food court. I figured that if there was one day that a quarter-​pounder might look even remotely close to what they advertise, it would likely be their first day.
Nope. Silly me for expecting anything other than plain ol’ McDonald’s. I didn’t take a picture of my food because I’m not one of those people, but I can assure you that the burger I received lives up to the 3am Quinpool drive-​thru standards we have all come to know and shamelessly expect. I won’t even fault the cashier for getting my order incorrect because I’m a quiet talker and didn’t use the suggested ‘Number system’ for ordering my food. To say «Quarter-​Pounder with Cheese meal» feels much more dignified then telling them to give me a «Number 2» (or whatever number it is). The mistake was rectified quickly and painlessly so no hard feelings.
The burger I received had a layer of ketchup so thick that keeping my bun from falling off the burger was messier and more difficult than I would have preferred. The complimentary 2 napkins were not sufficient for wiping the ejected ketchup from my fingers. My regret for choosing to eat at McDonald’s came just as swiftly as it normally does, even with the novelty of this potentially more-​fresh-​than-​usual meal still lingering in my mind.
Some will ask «What did you expect? It’s McDonald’s», and to that I would say «Can’t we be optimistic?». For receiving a par McDonald’s experience I will give them their allotted 3 stars.
