    I want to take a moment to thank the staff at the Lockwood and University location. They always have been spot on with my orders and have stood out as a fast food location that my wife and I frequent for their attention to detail in getting the order exact every time. This current visit, I accidentally ordered a quarter ponder for my wife instead of a two cheeseburger meal. It was my mistake ordering and they still corrected it for me and were very polite and quick to assist me. This was something I am very pleased McDonalds did for me and I don’t know if other employees would have gone out of their way to help me like this staff did today. Thank you McD’s on Lockwood!

    This is a 24 hour store. You need to staff it as such. I pulled up to the drive through at 5:15 am and the obviously very stressed attendant told me they were the "only one here". You guys charge an insane amount of money for crappy food, you could at least staff your store. I felt that ownership is greedy and unvalued as a customer. 3 other customers left without ordering after waiting. And I waited at least 20 minutes for an order I ordered ahead on the app. Ridiculous.
