I’ve been a loyal customer at this McDonald’s in Villa Rica for nearly three years, stopping by five or six days a week for my morning coffee. During all that time, I’ve never had an issue until today.
After I paid for my coffee in the drive-thru, I was told they didn’t have any coffee brewed and that it would take 8–12 minutes. Since I had already paid, I left, drove up the road to get fuel, and then came back to pick up my order.
When I returned, I politely asked if they could offer something small for the inconvenience—an extra cream, an extra sugar, or even a hash brown. Barbara immediately said no.
It wasn’t about getting something for free. It was about customer service. When a business inconveniences a loyal customer because a basic item like coffee isn’t ready, a small gesture of goodwill goes a long way. Many fast-food restaurants understand this. Even places like Popeyes will often offer a drink or another small item when an unexpected delay occurs.
I’ve spent a lot of money at this location over the past three years because I enjoy coming here. Unfortunately, today’s experience made me feel like my loyalty didn’t matter. I wasn’t upset about waiting—I was disappointed by the lack of effort to acknowledge the inconvenience.
I hope management takes this as constructive feedback and reminds the staff that great customer service isn’t just about taking orders—it’s about taking care of customers when things don’t go as planned.I’ve been a loyal customer at this McDonald’s in Villa Rica for nearly three years, stopping by five or six days a week for my morning coffee.

They need Niko back at this location because it’s kindness and love for customers has fallen in the hands of people that doesn’t take customer service seriously.
