I never expect good service at Mcdonalds or any fast food place. Just give me my order in a somewhat reasonable amount of time and I am good. I also never place complicated orders. I only order what is off the menu, no extra requests like no onions, etc because I have learned from past experience that personalized orders is an invitation for your whole order to be screwed up. Fast food is assembly line food, take what is on the menu and if you don't like it just pick it off.
Sad story, I once got a coupon in the junk mail for a buy one get one free whopper at Burger King. I never eat at burger king but I thought why not? So I place my order and use the coupon through the drive through. I was the only car in the drive through yet after paying for my food they still told me to pull up into a parking space and they would bring it out. Lame.
Why not just give me my food through the window? In any case a couple of minutes pass by and I get my food and go home. I eat the first whopper which was just a typical burger. Cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc. Then I get started on the next one and it was nothing but a piece of meat covered in ketchup between two buns. Nothing else. I know it was a free burger but sheesh at least throw a piece of lettuce on it or something.
LOL another funny story one of my buddies had told me one day. He went to the drive through at Whataburger and ordered a whataburger with cheese only. Now when you hear that what do you think? You think of hamburger meat with cheese in between two buns. Well you guessed it, when he opened up his food when he got home all he had was literally a slice of cheese in between two buns.
One experience I had at a Mcdonalds in Columbus Ohio last year just made me shake my head. It was right after the US vs Jamaica soccer game and it was late so I wanted something quick before I go to bed. Well this McDonalds was alright except for one thing. The fountain drinks did not dispense any carbonated soda at all, all that came out was just this thick syrupy stuff. At least the lemonade worked.
The sad thing is I probably will eat at that same McDonalds again in September after the USA vs Mexico soccer game. Only reason I won't bother to go further and find a decent place to eat is because it will already be late at night, and I would have came in from Hawaii on a red eye the day before so my mind will be gone and I just need something quick and near the hotel.
Sorry for rambling, I just enjoy sitting back and chewing the fat with my flyertalk friends but as for fast food consider everything going according to plan to be about the best you can hope for.
