McDonald’s

I go to McDonald’s quite often, especially with their $ 1 drink promotion going on. Believe it or not, I love their coffee haha. Anyways, I stopped at this one during a road trip and ordered a large coffee, black. The young lady at the register, propping her head up with her elbow on the register asks, «really? Just a coffee? No nothing?» With an attitude. I say yes, that’s it, and hand her the money.
She goes to the coffee maker, looks at it, walks over to the cups, looks at the coffee maker again, and looks at me to tell me, «the coffee’s burnt, I’m gonna make a new one» that’s where the the second star comes from. The missing stars are because while she was doing that, it seemed like everyone else who worked there was leaning against the counters talking all about their plans and personal lives, i.e., «how could you forget my birthday? You know it’s on Christmas! And my sister’s is on Christmas Eve!» While the guy who appeared to be the manager was standing right next to them trying to train a newbie (the same newbie had walked in with some paperwork at the same time as i ordered my coffee, in plain clothes. By the time I walked out with the coffee he was in his uniform standing next to the manager who was taking orders) A few minutes after the coffee was done (yes, I watched it because I needed it at the moment) the girl walked over to it again, looked, asked «you don’t want anything in it?» And poured and handed it to me. While everyone else was standing around chit-​chatting, I could see outside that the drive-​through line was now around the building…
I will not return, of course. Everyone here, newbie and manager excluded, just seemed really lazy like they didn’t want anything to do with McDonald’s. I would not order anything more complicated than coffee here.

Let me start by saying that when I go to McDonalds, I feel that I have appropriate expectations. I don’t expect to be blown away, I expect McDonalds.
However, I do expect that my order will be correct.
I can only call my experience a fast food comedy of errors. I ran into Wichita to pick something up before I got my sons from daycare. Was hungry, decided to go to McDonald’s at Harry and Webb. Went through the drive through, ordered a double cheeseburger with ketchup only, and a large Diet Dr. Pepper.
Paid, picked up my order, and drove a little down the road. Took a sip of my drink. It was tea. I don’t really like tea. Figured I’d eat my burger. Opened my bag, only to find two single cheeseburgers. Heavy smell of pickle, mustard, onion.
So I kept driving, and finally figured «I can just scrape the stuff I don’t want off, and then combine what’s left into a double cheese burger. At a stoplight I opened up the first burger, then the second only to find that both were missing patties
Was not impressed. Will not go back to that McDonalds.

Best hamburger in Wichita!
I’ve eaten at hundreds of thousands of restaurants around the world, and believe me when I tell you that the delicious bites of meat ‘n bun served at this little mom-​and-​pop hamburger restaurant are absolutely the best food I’ve ever put in my mouth.
I was a little weary about the care my order would be given when I saw how young the kids working behind the counter really were, but they handled my order with the utmost level of professionalism and care that I literally was sickened by my prejudice towards these pimply teenagers. I demanded to speak to their manager, and when he came out from behind the assembly station, I gave him my utmost kudos.
If you have little ones, DON’T WORRY, because the nice people at McDonald’s are VERY accommodating — they have a children’s menu, as well as a «playplace» full of plastic balls and tubes to keep them occupied while waiting for their food to arrive (not that they’ll be waiting long, mind you). And for the parents? Free wifi!
But the food! Oh my, the food! I got the #2 Value Meal — the Two Cheeseburgers. I like tomato on my hamburger, and was worried at first because it didn’t look like tomato came with the Two Cheeseburgers, but after inquiring they assured me they could throw it on my sandwich no problem!
McDonald’s is known for their hamburgers, and I can see why! Well-​seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection, the slices of American cheese were the perfect final touch to round out the entire experience. And the fries are absolutely heavenly! Thin cut, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they are my new de facto standard for how a good fry should taste. A little Heinz to send the flavor profile home, and I’m in Heaven!!!
It’s hard to say just how much I was BLOWN AWAY by my meal at McDonald’s. I’ve only been to the Webb location, but I hope more locations open up all over the city so I can have this delicious food wherever I am! Ten stars!
