Literally every time I come here something is forgotten from my order or they don’t have something basic that’s on every menu

I just hope I see people smiling at the drive through and I don't very often. I almost never visit inside.

After waiting for 15min for a #8 and 1 other burger, food came out cold and burgers looked like they had been driven over. Didn't have all the ingredients. Absolutely worst McDonald's I have ever been to in my whole life.

Went inside, ordered with kiosk room pay at register. In 10 minutes, no one acknowledged my existence, so I left.

For the last two days my wife and I have ordered from here last night I didn't get my shake I ordered so instead of having it delivered my wife went in this morning and the coffee I ordered did not have the three extra shots of Espresso I ordered in it, so I have paid for things I haven't received twice now.
