The staff is horrible they are the rudest people ever we recently went and they forgot to add ranch to the sandwich we then went inside and told them while the kitchen staff started talking Spanish not knowing that we knew Spanish and started talking badly about us while the manager did nothing or say anything as someone who works in the customer service industry this is horrible we aren’t idiots or anything but for all them to start talking badly while the manager did nothing is by far one of the worst experience I have ever had and this has happened multiple times fix your staff. If I’m spending money the food better be made right.

I have been a regular customer of this McDonald’s for a long time, and I’ve always appreciated the friendly and respectful service. I want to make it clear that I have absolutely no complaints about the managers, including the person who takes orders at the drive-thru — they are always professional and kind.
My concern is only with the accuracy of the orders prepared by the staff who pack the bags. Over the past several visits, my orders have repeatedly been missing items — fries, sauces, or even the correct sandwich. Several times I ordered a Big Mac but received a cheeseburger instead, which is not only incorrect but also a much cheaper item.
Because of these mistakes, I often have to drive back through the drive-thru again to fix the order, wasting my time and gas, and that’s very frustrating. Mistakes can happen, but this has become a pattern. What is also disappointing is that no one apologizes or offers any kind of compensation for the inconvenience.
I hope the management can address this issue with the packing staff so the service can return to the high quality it used to have. I would love to continue coming here, but consistent accuracy is very important.
