McDonald’s

I wanted a crispy chicken deluxe Asked for no tomatoes. Was given one. Plus the chicken was way more than overcooked. Absolutely awful definitely not worth $ 4.59. Working at McDonald’s is a simple job. And they want $ 15 an hour. I don’t think there was five dollars an hour. McDonald’s is a job to learn employment skills. Not to earn a living. If you want $ 15 an hour get a real job.

Above average for this chain, they try and do as good a job as they can with the crap ingredients they have to work with.

This McDonald’s is never a stand-​alone visit but generally part of a functional Friday trio — plying the aisles of the big Damascus Safeway at which, like other metro area Safeways, they have the «$ 5 Friday» specials, there is a very good Union 76 station with good prices and friendly service, and there is this McDonald’s which, probably as a franchisee, has hung on to the $ 1.59 Filet-​O-​Fish Fridays.
I would have given the McDonald’s in Damascus 3 stars, but the retention of the $ 1.59 Filet-​O-​Fish sandwiches keeps me coming in to this location, about 3 miles east of Happy Valley and where Sunnyside Road ends, a few times a month. Thus, this makes for 4 stars. At the same time, I can scour Safeway for something decent to purchase in the deli, fill up the tank, and eat a slice of some deep fried North Atlantic cod at a bargain basement price. I even have them add pickles to my sandwich, which they will now do. When any customization request reared its head when I once worked at MickeyD’s when a teenager in SoCal, my douchetard manager would sternly state, «that’s not a McDonald’s sandwich,» (which sounded like an illogical kroc of shit) while Burger King was humming to the tune of «have it your way.» McDonald’s has since wised up. Bring on the pickles.
I’ve already given the Damascus store the 4^th star for Filet-​O-​Fish Fridays. However, one unforgettable experience was when I called up to make sure they still had this featured item and an obviously Hispanic lady cupped the phone, though not good enough, and yelled «? Los pescados son un y cinquenta nueve los Viernes ?» («Are Filet-​O-​Fish sandwiches $ 1.59 on Fridays?») to someone who was presumably more on the ball. The answer came back affirmative. Touché’!
