Since the older Black woman quit months ago, they have been a shambles. They don’t open on time, service is cold, and they will look at you standing at the door and literally not open it. Pretend not to understand English (or Spanish), leave items out of your order and charge multiple times for things you did order. Even when she was here, on the days she didn’t open service was like this. Today the actually made an employee knock on the door while one of them stood inside eating a cookie, looking at the people waiting. It takes 15 minutes to get anything but cold coffee here. Owner needs to fire them all, they’re generally clueless and ambivalent. Except the maintenance guy, who is from the old guard, and just keeps doing what he do.

I wanted to have a snack from McDonald’s since I’m quite hungry. I remember this place being here for a while in Stanford Shopping Center when I was a kid until it relocated to a different area but in the same shopping mall.
I got 10pc chicken nuggets, but I’m quite shocked how much it is. $7.29 for that much is way crazier compared to 20pc, which is just 70¢ more expensive. Honestly, that is a way better choice, but I’m just trying to cut back calories for now. Honestly, 10pc shouldn’t cost more than $6. I also saw prices of the burgers and some are cheaper than what I got. Either that chicken nuggets is very popular or they’re being inconsistent with prices.
Also, not everything of the menu is shown. When I looked at the prices, it’s hard to tell if that’s the meal or individual item. Back then, there are two prices shown for both parts.

I stopped going to McDonald's when they made it obvious they want dine-in customers to go away.
