The food and service was just like most McDonald’s. But when I was sitting waiting for my order, an employee that was mopping the floor in another area, decided to pull the
mop and bucket over next to the table where I was sitting and began to mop the floor (almost directly under my feet-I felt like needed to left up my legs and feet so they could mop underneath!) Made me very uncomfortable
Also they don’t have a drive through window and there wasn’t any lights in the parking lot in the back of the restaurant (not really safe!)’

Ordered, got home, and my mccrispy didn’t have a chicken cutlet in it. I called and they didn’t answer. Called again and pretended they were a different restaurant.

This review was for the McDonalds in South San Francisco, on El Camino Real, NOT the one on 41st Ave., Capitola.
My fish sandwich could have been a left over that was re-deep fried. Talk about shoe leather. I couldn't finish the second bite. I can't even give it one star. The service was good. guess I'm back to boycotting McDonalds.

Why do these locations say they are 24 hours online but in reality they are not? Doesn't make sense. Its already hard being nightshift not being able to get anything during the day but the internet lies to me when I want to at 3am. Update the times open or change it to open to stop confusing people.
