McDonald’s

The best thing about being one of the only people in the entire world to have Filet-​o-​Fish be their go-​to order at McDonald’s is the fact that my burgers are nearly always freshly made! (Plus, I don’t have to feel too guilty about eating at McDonald’s regarding my caloric intakes for the day!)
~ Atmosphere:
Not great, but exactly what you’d expect with a lot of the scummy people who smell like tobacco walking about Newport’s high street. I would’ve much rather had taken my meal for takeaway, but needed some place to kill time before my bus arrived.
~ Customer Service:
Quite good. Although it was busy and there was only one employee at the counter, the man was very efficient with taking orders and serving customers as quickly as possible. Plus, he didn’t sacrifice any friendliness in doing so either as he greeted everyone and was very courteous.
~ Food:
Great for McDonald’s! Like I said, since I order Filet-​O-​Fish it came out really fresh. The fish patty was still piping hot since it was fresh out of the fryer rather than it being a burger that sat on a hot plate for ages. However, like with all fast food chains if you’ve had one McDonald’s you’ve had them all. The food quality is pretty standard.

You get what you expect with McDonald’s, and this branch certainly does the trick. Decent service, standard McDonald’s food, but the sketchy clientele makes eating here a bit uncomfortable.

Face it, McDonalds is McDonalds and today I went to this one in Newport. I actually went in because I was hungry and in search of wifi. On the door was a sign that said «free wifi» so this was the place for me. There was free wifi but not for me. I have a smart phone that does not have a British number. When I logged on, I was asked to put in my phone number and a text would be sent to me with logging on instructions — a PIN code I’m guessing. Well, it didn’t work and asked me to do it again. This time I had no ‘foreign’ number option and got a message that it was only valid for British phone numbers. That isn’t very nice! So non-​Brits or those not living in the country cannot log on!!!
I don’t know if this is the same in all McDonalds in the UK but next time I’ll hit some other place for real free wifi!
The cajun chicken wrap was good though!
