    Waited in line while 4 cars on the other side went around… finally got fed up and went to the window where they told me the that I had to go back around even though it was not my fault my order was not taken… they even spoke to me at one point and then continued to let cars go ahead of me.

    We went to the drive thru tonight and ordered a tote of cookies and waited in line in our car for almost 30 minutes before moving forward in line. Once we got to the window we were told to move forward to the third and last window because the cookies weren't ready. I said they still aren't ready and she said no so I moved forward then we waited another 15 minutes before I drove around to the door to go inside and ask for my money back and several people were standing around im assuming waiting for orders and im think in 4 maybe 5 employees looked at me me as they were standing around talking and then a few minutes later a girl looked up and said OH, they aren't there anymore while asking a guy to take the cookies out. I said no I'm right here and I was wanting my money back because cookies shouldn't take more than a half hour or not even that. I took the cookies and left and drove back to my home more than 10 miles away and right before getting home we opened the cookies to eat one each and they were dark and tasted burnt. So the cookies we waited for over 40 plus minutes for were burnt and rock hard.

    Frozen drinks are consistently melted by the time I get them. My "plain" sandwich clearly had condiments that were just scraped off before I got it. There is mayo on the chicken and ketchup splatters on the bun. This location has gone downhill, I'd stop somewhere else if you have the option.

    Yesterday 7/18 My boyfriend his little boy and I came to Mcdonalds around 4:36pm on my lunch break. I appeared after receiving our food my idiot self had forgotten my wallet on the table where we were sitting. I had noticed I didn’t have my wallet after maybe 2 hours afterwards, before even going or calling and checking Mcdonald’s, I had walked inside and outside of my work building twice. I looked all inches of my car and purse. My mom had called for me and asked, the lady said No wallet was turned in or found. My boyfriend drove to Mcdonald’s while I was at work to go and check if it was there, the lady he dealt with at counter would not go look for the wallet or double check for a wallet or even remotely say there was a wallet. He asked to double check answer was No, asked if there was a manager, got told No. This person working was refusing any kind of help looking for my wallet. I went myself at 8:40ish, not sure if it was the same lady my boyfriend dealt with but i went in and explained that Mcdonald’s was the only place I was at other than work, and my mom had called asking and my boyfriend had came in also asking. She stood there blank faced and just told me No, then proceeds to tell me that if anything like that was found they would just keep it on the counter. Whoever this person was will be hearing from the police themselves and corporate. If you are too lazy and not willing to even help out someone let alone just go check for something like that, then don’t even remotely try even getting a job. Genuinely have never had anything like this happen and it shocked me to my core. Luckily we went back this morning whoever manager was working around 10am ish the lovely lady who even works at the store handed it over to me without an issue. Whoever you were thank you, you saved me lots of anxiety and to whomever that lady was who refused three different times to help me get my wallet back. I hope Mcdonalds fires you because no one deserves to be refused something like that without any reason even if you were having a bad day yourself don’t take it out on random strangers. I will not be coming here ever again after this incident.
