McDonald’s

Sigh. I’m getting close to reviewing all the Maccas in Glasgow… now there’s an achievement I don’t actually want to reach.
I was super hungry post-​hospital visit, and headed here. It’s 24 hours and has a drive thru which is excellent as I’m always worried of seeing someone I know if I actually have to get out of the car. Service was quick, friendly — the typical Maccas script, really. I got a double cheeseburger and some moz dippers (hey, I know how to eat my feelings) and munched away in the car park.
It’s not the best Maccas I’ve ever, or the worst. It filled me up and left me with that feeling of shame that only Maccas can deliver. And for only £5 too. Bargain.

It’s a McD’s and not a bad one. Food… well, it’s McD’s.
The décor is OK if a little unusual, but it’s comfortable and warm which helps. It often gets crowded so do be prepared to consider a carry-​out if you visit on a Saturday on the run-​up to Xmas.
Staff have been really nice on our few visits, as well.

I have to say I’m not a fan of McDonald’s, as I don’t like the food much, but I’m often dragged here by husband and the kids. However at least this outlet is very clean and good customer service.

I am not going to berate these folks. I have used them often enough as a stereotype to beat up others.
But what the hell did they do to this place?
It looks like it was styled from a Euro-​Hotel design book.
Brown leather-​esque seating. Birch Veneer-​esque tables.
It is still brown, still not that comfortable and still a Mcdonalds.
But they are trying. Gone are the horrible bright plastic form fit chairs and the hard benches. Bring in some industrial lighting elements that makes it look like a Novotel.
A Novotel that sells McDonalds food.
There we got to it.

Have you read the ingredients and nutritional information for this stuff. Wipe the grease from your eyes and see how many days worth of of salt you are putting into your body. This stuff will kill you. Not right away. But keep it up and it will kill you. Probably from the high fat and sodium content more than anything else.
Once in a while — fine. If your car’s back seat looks like the bin outside of this place — well — you have been warned.
Oh and they still cannot make a decent cup of coffee.
