    I’m not a huge McDonalds fan, but I used to get lunch there occasionally because it was fast, convenient, and inexpensive. Now it’s none of those things. I think the self-serve kiosks somehow made things worse.

      Gotta love touching something god knows how many other people touched before you right before you get some food.

      Yeah, McDs was a no-brainer back in the day.

      The cost is absurd for value now. I’d rather go elsewhere.

        One thing mcds does have that’s good and cheap still is their breakfast. I use their app and it always has the $1.5 breakfast sandwich. I’ll get one and a hash brown and it’s $3 something. Compared to other places that’s super cheap.

      Every McDonalds I’ve been to in the last couple years seems like it’s staffed with the most pissed off people imaginable. I mean, I get it, the job is probably horrible and they’re being underpaid. But that doesn’t justify treating seemingly everyone like shit.

      I had a guy in the drive thru get full on pissed at me and yell at me because I asked for no ketchup on my burger. That’s it. It wasn’t a big order, it was a McDouble and some fries. I could understand if I had changed my order 5 times and insisted all my food be cut in the shape of Argentina or some shit, but I made a pretty basic fucking request.

      There’s also frequently times when it seems like they’re trying to get past interacting with you as fast as possible and don’t give a single shit what you’re trying to say.

      “Can I get a 10 piece chicken nuggets and-”

      “Ok pull to the first window”

      “Wait, I wasn’t done. I also want a medium fry and-”

      “Okpulltothefirstwindow”

      “Hang on, I want a drink too, can I g-”

      “OKPULLTOTHEFIRSTWINDOW!”

      I get hating your job, but why do you have to treat every customer like they are personally causing you inconvenience? Like they’re doing something wrong for having the nerve to order food at a restaurant.

        Sounds like they couldn’t hear you, bro.

        Maybe just follow their instructions.
