    I ordered a #7 and I also ordered a LG mocha iced coffee. When I got home I pulled out the hot picante sauces and one was extremely dirty and disgusting. It looks as though this sauce packet had been on the ground for quite some time and then picked up and placed back in the storage container to hand out to customers. My Mocha was not mixed whatsoever and it was just a plain coffee with chocolate syrup on the bottom. They also put whip cream on it even though an iced coffee does not come with whip cream. Extremely unpleasant and unsanitary experience.

    Went through the drive through, waited awhile to be spoken to. Asked for a large sweet tea and two large waters to start with, said they didn’t have sweet tea. Then ordered a small shake with two large waters and they said they don’t do large waters only small? Honestly worst Mcdonald’s i’ve been to, receiving my food wasn’t bad but the drive through experience was and the workers don’t seem to care. Was abt to find a different mcdonald’s.

    If I could leave Zero stars, I would. Ordered my granddaughter a chocolate shake. Barely any chocolate. Not mixed either. Asked her to pleaze fix it. She refused and said,"the machine spits it out that way, that's how you get it!" And rude. Mcdonalds has gone downhill. And gone up in price. $5 for a med crap shake! Ill go somewhere else from now on
