    I get it, it’s a McDonald’s, but they squish the food so badly in the bags it’s unbelievable. They don’t close the bags either and stuff them so full they can’t be closed (but rip) rather than adding one additional bag to your order. I am giving 5 stars for service for one specific team member (don’t know if he still works there - this was about a year ago or so): as I was approaching the McDonald’s another driver started to follow me and harass me and tried to stop me; he followed me through the drive through but went through the second lane and tried to block me off at the window and got out of his car. This one team member tried to tell him to leave me in peace and eventually personally came out of the restaurant to tell the guy to go. I had been terrified and was about to call the police and this one fast food worker comes out and has the guts to tell a crazy stalker guy off - I regret not getting this team member’s name!

    Kiosk says to have a seat and they will bring it out. What they do really do is leave I in an unmarked sack on the counter and start screaming from across the restaurant for you to come get it.

    We visited the drive-thru at this location on the evening of 11/15/2025 looking for a fast meal due to a rushed schedule. Our total came out to $23.xx, and we noticed the employee speaking to us stated "$32.xx"; a presumed moment of dyslexia or otherwise honest mistake (and it was). The employee that accepted payment ran my credit card, but didn't offer a receipt before closing the window. I pulled to the next window and asked politely for a receipt. The employee promptly told me, "we don't have receipts." I asked again, requesting that she print me one. She closed the window briefly and spoke with a co-worker, then opened the window and said that they can't print receipts at that location. She then asked me to "hold-on", asked me what was in my order, then re-entered those items to provide me verbally with what the total of my order. Meanwhile, I checked my credit card app and saw that the total charged was the $23.xx that originally showed on the order screen in the drive-thru. That whole exchange was awkward and unprofessional, and I relay it in this review to describe the situation for the actual offense: While I was repeating the items in my order to the cashier, and simultaneously checking my credit card app, the employee with whom the cashier had just consulted asked us to hand her the QP burger from our order to "see it." She then walked halfway out of view around a corner and stopped. We could no longer see the QP box, just the back half of her head and shoulders, but I did clearly see the back of her head dip down as you would with a spitting motion. Just a second later she turned around reclosing the box and returned it to us stating, "It's okay. It's fine..." with a pretty unconvincing smile. Why would she ask for food back from an order that had already been handed to the customer? What did she actually do around the corner? I don't know the 100% honest answer to either of those questions, but I know we will not be visiting any McDonalds restaurant in the Coralville/Iowa City area again. At least not for a long long time.
