McDonalds Rant

[speedminded]

The automated pre-recorded message that instantly plays when you pull up to the drive-thru is the epitome of laziness. Complete BS lol!

Over the weekend we stopped by around midnight, all the lights were on and cars were in the parking lot with people inside. Pulled up to the drive-thru an oddly enthusiastic voice says, "Welcome to McDonald’s! Would you like to try our new angus burger?!”. We say no thanks and go through with the order. Nobody responds. Hello? Nothing. Helllloooo? Nothing. We pull up to the window and there is nobody there. My first thought is they're getting robbed. We pull around and people, obviously 3rd party workers, are going in and out the side door. Well they must be under construction but we pull up to the drive-thru again anyways..."Welcome to McDonald’s! Would you like to try our new angus burger?!”. WTF! It's a recording :facepalm:

[punkr6]

I have noticed a lot of mexicans working there. maybe they should automate the whole place....

*Pulls up to a McDonald's Drive-Thru*

McD's: "Good morning! Would you like to try a hot and fresh southern style chicken biscuit today?"
Ran: "No, thank you. Just a number three combo with a large OJ please."
McD's: "Si, you wan' fries?"
Ran: "I'm sorry?"
McD's: "Fries? Si?"
Ran: "...it's breakfast."
McD's: "Okay. Window please."
Ran: "..."

It's McDonalds, do you expect them to have the workers sound all happy and nice? Fuck that place. Fuck most fast food. Save money and your life.

Bingo. That's exactly what happened when we went back. I am all for teaching people and those gaining knowledge and moving up in this world BUT if someone is going to run the drive-thru then they need to be start off being capable of legibly speaking. Personally I don't go back to places that screw up orders or have poor customer service. I'd rather them outsource the drive-thru to an office than pay someone that can't efficiently it lol!
