McDonald’s

I had been walking non-​stop all day and missed both breakfast and lunch, so I said to myself what many inebriated or otherwise bothered bodies have said before me and was just like «yo, f**k this, I’m getting McDick’s.»
This is my neighbourhood McDonald’s, and I’ve been more times than I care to remember. Not to say I have particularly much against McDonald’s, somewhat the contrary even, but one can’t pretend it’s not fast food– even the side salads are premade covered in cheese, just incase you were trying to get away with being healthy.
I was considering trying this new ‘CBO’ sandwich they are advertising for everywhere, but was leaning away from it, when the entire board of menu-​displaying television screens rudely faded into one giant CBO ad. I was at the front of the line and couldn’t see the rest of the menu so I said «yo, f**k it I’ll get that CBO.» And a couple double hamburgers of course– no fast food place serves a combo that comes close to satisfying my hunger alone.
The CBO was CB-​Okay. I would’ve rather had another 2 or three double hamburgers for the same price (THE VALUE MENU CANNOT BE BEATEN… WHY DOES ANYONE ORDER ANYTHING BUT DOUBLE HAMBURGERS???) I literally have nothing else to say about it. Look at the picture (morph it mentally as you’ve learned the difference between pictured and actual menu items at every fastfood restaurant) and imagine that image with no surprises in your mouth– that’s the CBO.
What completed my okay meal was the okay setting– which I suppose is the boring real content of this otherwise charmingly vacant Unilocal review– the employees are standard fastfood employees, only base imagination skills necessary for you; everything else about this place is also standard McDonald’s, SAVE for the large walls of windows letting in a refreshing roomful of the surrounding parks– one to the south and one to the west; there is only one stall and urinal in the men’s washroom, which is unfortunate for a busy fast food restaurant.
I left McDonald’s the same way I always do: still hungry, and feeling a little greasy, but some part of me somewhere– maybe a masochistic little devil in me-​oddly satisfied.

I tried the new McLobster yesterday, and it’s a total ripoff. When I saw it on the menu, the picture was some huge lobster sandwich, filled with lobster and some celery/​lettuce. I thought that this was a great deal for $ 7, since lobster isn’t generally so cheap, so I ordered one. When I opened it, it was a really small sandwich, probably filling enough for an 11-​year-​old. Furthermore, there was very very little lobster inside the sandwich; 90% of the sandwich’s substance was celery and lettuce, and I’m not exaggerating. There was a thin strip of lobster near the back of the bun, but it didn’t matter because you couldn’t even taste it over all of the vegetables they used to fill the sandwich. McDonald’s deliberately advertised the McLobster falsely; the actual sandwich was nothing like what the advertisement showed. $ 7? Definitely not worth it. I might pay $ 3 for it.

This is the worst McDonald’s EVER. I have tried and tried with this location. I can’t tell you how many times they have got my order wrong. I dont know how hard it is, however they have managed all the time to screw my orders up. It has even gotten to the point where I have called head office on them three times. Today will be the 4^th.
Who orders an sausage egg sandwich and they forget to put the egg on the sandwich. Another time fries missing. Today a Chocolate muffin and a Cranberry one. No chocolate muffin. No cream today. I have had the manager call me twice from this location and said they where sorry. I am happy with the follow threw from management, however their staff is failing left right and centre.
Stupid me for going back, because I believe in giving people chances.
So I went back, told the manager again of past issues and they said sorry and they will try their best. So I order a Big Mac Meal. I knew there was going to be a problem with it and I even told the manager before I ordered that I can bet you 100% there will be a problem with my meal. Sure enough my order comes and my BIG MAC looks like a boring plan hamburger. Not what the pictures show or even close.
The restaurant seems disorganized. Every time I am in the store, someone is always upset with their order. Management looks like a deer in the head lights.
Drive threw is Horrible. They need to hire people who can speak english and have strong communication and comprehension skills.
I could go on and on and on.
but please always check your order cause they screw up each time. Now I am off to call head office again for a problem with my order AGAIN

It’s MacDonalds, so what do u expect. Very very slow service. They always have too few cashiers. Lines are long cause they are so slow. Nothing I hate more than seeing 5 cash registers and one cashier. And a manager using the register at the front for the drive thru ignoring the long line ups.
Your best bet is to head to the drive thru. So much faster.
Food is hit or miss. Sometimes the meat is super dried out. Fries are cold.
The changes made me more upset. With more options the service is even more slow. They don’t want to open more register cause the manager has to count it during his shift.
Cheap food. Terrible service.

I was there for a few snacks and free coffee with 2 of my relatives. I was there on a friday night (Nov 26). As a visitor from Chicago, I had never seen an Asian work at a McDonalds… Okay okay. I took my order from this Asian girl. She was very friendly. and also cute =) lol! I know I know this totally sounds like a very «serious» review! BUT I knew I had received the friendliest smile on earth from that pretty face. LOL (I wanna say this too, I should had asked for her name. at least)
Main point: Coffee was good, McDouble was not too greasy.

I love this mcDonalds. It’a always there for me when I need it (²⁴⁄₇). Like this morning.
Kat F had a great birthday party last night at Prohibition, which is my favorite bar within stumbling distance of my house. I drank too many Deliriums and really couldn’t bear to face the day (as an aside, Delirium really sneaks up on me… they’re 8.5% beers and they don’t taste like it at all).
So I got up, and went to my #1 mcDonalds for mcDonalds breakfast and now I am happy, alert (ish) and ready to get this Thursday show on the road!
The good/​bad/​amazing all in one:
— The servers were very unfriendly but my order was perfect and I got an OLD five dollar bill in my change that I am going to save for forever.
Of course I am going to come here again, but hopefully not until next month.

I like how this location has a drive-​thru that’s open late. The thing with the drive through at night (after 11pm) is that there is two different servers that I usually get.
The first one is really friendly and sounds cheery on the speakerphone and he is always fast and the food is fresh.
The second guy sounds like he is about to die if he keeps working at McDonald’s and he sounds this way on the speakerphone. When I get him, the food always takes long to be made and there usually is a huge line up in the drive-​thru too. After waiting a long time, the fries aren’t even fresh!
The biggest tip that I can give when going to this drive through is to double check everything, especially ketchup. I’ve had to ask for ketchup 3 times before they give it to me and after you check condiments, check if they gave you any straws… they forgot at least twice for me.

Someone (OK the S.O.) had a craving for McD’s. I stopped hating on that because we all have guilty pleasures, right?
I figured I’d offset the carbon by not using the drive thru. Big mistake.
My first impression when walking in was how soft the decorative touches are (for MCDONALD’S!) and how it didn’t have the same sad-​ham feeling of old. Nice espresso brown colour palette and flat screen TVs made it feel more like Caban than it’s previous incarnation.
The spell is broken when you turn to order at the counter. It feels like a trauma centre made of grease and hormones. All beeps and yelling and surveillance cameras. The setup is like an amateur round of mousetrap where they have contraptions like conveyor belts for the drive thru orders. It took me literally 10 minutes just to place an order because the teenage boys in front of me kept insisting on drink refills and double checking their Monopoly cards with the employee.
The other till was taken up in a conversation with a worker just off her shift there. I’m normally cool with this and there’s an unwritten agreement that you have to put up with delays now and again but this is freakin’ McDonald’s, right?
It’s rare that I leave a resto (ish) feeling irritable and self loathing like I did here. This ends my cranky old man rant!
