    I've been to this location twice. Both times I have left angry. At 7am I placed a mobile order for counter pick up. I went inside and waited and waited. Nobody ever came to the front to even acknowledge me. Finally at 7:14 I saw the manager finally look at my order ticket and ask one of workers to begin making my breakfast sandwiches. While I was standing there waiting for my order I saw approximately 10 orders go out the drive-thru. When I finally got my order, I asked if 15 minutes was their goal for service time. I was told that the drive-thru was priority. This location is poorly managed, and does not have good customer service.

    25 minutes is way too long to wait for food. I pulled up to this McDonald's around 5:30 and instead of being prepared for The Rush they were totally unprepared and most people were sitting in line for 25 plus minutes. This is why your jobs are getting replaced with AI.

    Went there just before closing and they gave me whatever garbage food they had laying around it was all disgusting. I understand they was about to close but they was still open for business and I spent money they should have given me right food. And had an attitude when I pulled back threw because I ordered a mc double and they gave me spicy chicken with ketchup and mustard. And with the attitude they have me I didn't eat the cheeseburger because I was afraid they spit on it or something.
