    Guy at the front counter was very polite and considerate. I saw someone get annoyed at him and he kept his composure and stayed professional. I would say it was a good McDonalds experience.

    I came in to the drive thru 30 minutes before McDonald’s closes. I placed a mobile order before this about 10 minutes before I showed up. I sat at the speaker for about 25 minutes and no one took my order other cars pulled off because they were having the same issue. We fiugred they closed early but that wasn't the case. We eventually just pulled up to the window and seen an employee just standing there playing “catch” instead of answering the headset and making our order. We finally got helped at the window after them having to unlock the window and waited about 20 more minutes for our order to be ready when we placed it about 30 minutes ago and had no one ahead of us waiting either. While we were waiting we saw even more cars leave because they were not getting helped even though it wasn’t closed yet. I understand if it was like 10 minutes before closing but we had 30 minutes left to order and we placed it ahead of time for it to be ready. I’m very disappointed I come to this McDonald’s all the time and never have any issues like this seems like it’s the new staff.

    You would think they didn’t have any frappe’s on purpose, considering you could almost never get one, Their frappe machine is broken more than it’s working

    If you want McDonald’s find another store!!! I’ll keep this review brief unlike my visit. I arrived for a DoorDash order with only 1 car in front of me in the drive thru. Two younger employees are screaming and what looks like playing in the parking lot. No car has moved, no order has been taken, and all I can assume is that this store lacks professionalism and a sense of urgency that makes McDonald’s “Fast Food”
