the mcdonalds right in front of the ucf. it is usually employed by ill educated hideous idiots maybe HS or college rejects who probably go to that crap school ucf, however I have been going to this craphole mcdonalds for YEARS. the worst part is that..for years...i have been mistreated at the drive thru by the sick crazy females that work there. it's almost ALWAYS the females..([censored]es of course), and it seems because they are really ugly insecure and fat and treat attractive women badly and are jealous. This is the norm it seems in the horrible city of orlando...lots of ugly insecure jealous peopel who hate attractive women. the females that work here are usually angry aggressive rude hostile in an this is about y way possible. at one point i stopped going here completely it was THAT bad and impossible to deal with. I was literally scared to go through the drive thru. the crazy women there would shove my food at me, be rude, give me bad attitudes, a few times yell or scream at me and I had to call managers MANY times. however, then one day it started getting better and some CIVIL normal people began working there. there is one asian girl who works there and shes the ONLY nice normal person seriously- the rest are hostile abusive psycho etc.. this just seems to be the norm with the crazy females in orlando--they are jealous rude weird, esp the freaks that work at mcdonalds or at these drive thrus. so there were these rude aggressive black [censored]es that worked there.. (this is late at night of course during the day I think its different)...and everytime i'd hand these [censored]es my credit card they'd REFUSE to stretch their arms out more...like they were wiating for me to stretch my arm out even more than I could--it was absurd.

I had to play this arm stretching credit card game and it was just crazy- but that's what you can expect from the freak nutjobs of THIS mcdonalds only. ive been to MANY mcdonalds and even with some ill service its NEVER as bad as the horrid ucf mcdonalds. so everytime I went to the ghetto UCF mcdonalds employed by sick freaks, i'd have to play this stretch your arm out credit card game with these lunatic black [censored]es which was so absurd. I was like "I cant reach my arm out anymore" (which i couldn't) and they'd say "i can't reach my arm out" which was a total lie. it was so weird and i'd have to say yes you can then they'd do it ANGRILY and then slam the door in my face. I mean really? are you joking me...this is what you find in orlando -- these mentally defective freaks who do this to people for some kind of sport.. really low vile weird sick people... the same psychos I have seen reach their arm out EXCESSIVELY for any other customer but literally just abusive to a pretty female who they seemingly are jealous of. Finally, some of those rude nasty black wh*res that work there...sub humans for sure..were really rude to me so I complained to I assume it was the manager? but really its this white trash FAT COW that works there...she is fat ugly and just WEIRD. she said to me that she didnt think the girl was trying to be rude...however I probably go to drive thrus MANY times a day and do not have any complaints except for the RUDE [censored]ES at this place. so now, everytime i encountered the fat cow -- (she claimed to be the manager but I think she was 17 or who knows what) and i doubt that thing was the manager, this RUDE [censored] literally..angrily almost SHOVES the credit card in my face angrily like "OK HERE IM STRETCHING MY ARM OUT TO GIVE YOU THE CARD".. RUDE RUDE CRAZY AND RUDE! how dare this fat ugly disgusting cow feel she can treat people this way? she ALWAYS angrily hands it to me like shoving it at me really FAR almost shoving it in my face in my car...i'd like to slap the crap out of this horrible sub human idiot. How DARE she do that to someone rather than just hand the card normally? so once i went and the dumb fat ugly white cow handed me a drink angrily shoved it at me and it had these white things in it...who knows what they were but im sure she put these specs in my drink or probably did b/c as she was preparing my drink she took a LONG time. even if she didnt she was just RUDE AS HELL AGAIN. i rarely encounter the ugly white cow white trash thing that works there but today...again i had to deal with the hideous creep. I got an item and she again took my credit card HOSTILELY then shoved it back in my face AGAIN angrily and SHUT/SLAMMED the window door as if 'GET AWAY" which is what several of those freaks do. they are SO RUDE for no reason...again HOW DARE THEY AND WHY? so i was looking back at the customer behind me...and she was SO NICE in how she handed him the card...she took it almost delicately...she reached out gave it back to him...with pleasantness...and it made me furious...that these horrible freaks that work here at this [censored]hole mcdonalds feel they can mistreat customers in this way and females for no reason. But this is nothing new in the craphold city of orlando...all you find are arrogant ugly bitter messed up demented people who are abusive and hostile towards nice kind people and they HATE really pretty women...many years ago i had MAJOR problems with this place and the freaks that worked there even knew my name and would yell out my name and i dont know how they even knew it...absurd sick people here... the UCF MCDONALDS will ALWAYS seem to employ these abusive aggressive freaks however to ABUSE a female customer for no reason and even put white stuff in her drink...these psychos need to watch their act-- who knows how they treat others and really one day someone will report this mcdonalds for the shady things it does to people...also all these inferior ugly people who are ugly in everyway possible who abuse attractive people...that's all you find in this awful city...BEWARE...

I went to McDonald's for lunch today (November 7, 2012) and ordered a McChicken sandwich, a small fry and three chocolate chip cookies.I received my order in a timely manner and the sandwich and fries were fresh and hot.However, I did not receive my cookies so I went over to the register and asked the little girl cashier where my cookies are and she told me...

McDonald's direspectful

We were charged $5.40 for our food. Without one of our orders we asked nicely for our fries and the girl asks: where's your receipt.? Blah blahblah Well we didn't get one. OK well she says I need it for proof. The manager laughs and says where's the receipt? ? We Just told him to ask the girl who charged us. So he says were having an attitude when in reality they had no common sense neither one. If I got 2 MC chickens and one large soda that's about $3 plus tax . Like really? So the girl gives us the fries and slams the window. Wow. Very rude of her so we said did u slam that in my face? The girl says NO DO YOU WANT ME TOO!? With all that being said and done very rude manager and employee. EXTREMELY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HORRIBLE MANAGER!

McDonald's food health regulations and standards

On quite a few occasion's now my partner and i have brought McDonald's from the Tullamarine store and it has been disgusting. On one occasion we ordered a meal each and my burger had hair in it and my partners looked like it had been fished out of the bin, the meat patty looked like it was dipped in water and it was pink and all broken apart, that was on the same night. On another night we both ordered the same meal and both the meat patty's were half cooked. The list goes on and this is all from the Tullamarine store, i think its time something should be done about it because i will go to the health department, its unacceptable.

McDonald's food poisoning

On Thursday 18th October I called at McDonalds in Cannonvale and purchased an Angus Beef Burger, fries and a soft serve cone which I ate on the premises. On returning home I started suffering with stomach cramps and within five or six hours was violently ill and continued vomiting for several hours after that, so severe that my ribs and stomach are still sore today.

McDonald's work schedules

The managers at this location are completely out of line because they are scheduling school aged kids for unreasonable hours. Closing on school nights, 8 hour shifts starting at 5 am - RIDICULOUS. The employee handbook states that one of the benefits of working at McDonald's is the flexible hours. The employees are asked for their availability which is completely ignored. What would make anyone think that it would be okay to schedule a kid for 8 hour shifts both Saturday and Sunday every weekend. Use your common sense. Not only is McDonald's killing people with their food, it is also killing their employees by overworking and underpaying them.

I seriously doubt any teens will die from being under-paid. Now if you made a reference to Walmart, I would agree that the employees life maybe in jeopardy. Check out the Dead Peasants Insurance policies through these inhumane thugs... Walmart was actually cashing-in insurance policies when their associates passed away.

McDonald's rude manager/employee

Every time this store is visited i am told to pull forward to park. It takes at least 15 mins to get food at the drive thru. On my last visit when I asked for a manger and said I wanted my money back as i could not wait any longer, the manager started arguing with me yelling at me that I was told to pull forward. Some large lady started calling me a trick and cursing at me while the manager disappeared never to be seen again. I was called a "Trick” at least 6 times and was told that I was a horrible person. This is all because I wanted my money back. A family member went up there after the incident to speak to the manager only to hear" OH hell No" and the same large lady tried to physically lay her hands on my family member. I will never eat at this restaurant again and will be sure to write to the local news stations about this type of harassment along with every customer comment board I can find. I am very offended by this and feel like a victim.

I couldn't Agree more! Another ruined morning due to choosing that location to get food. I'm about to quit McDonalds period! They screwed up my order after asking me to pull up. I didn't check the bag---stupid me--- until I got home and didn't have enough food to feed my family and was short of what I paid for. When I called and asked to speak to a manager I was told the person speaking was a manager so I told my issue and was asked to speak to someone else. As if a MANAGER couldn't solve a simple problem. The next guy was very rude and asked if I had a receipt. Just fix the dang order already! He called me rude and belligerent. What an idiot. I'm not going back EVER! He was about as ignorant as they come. Unable to effectively handle a customer complaint! He's a what?! Get a grip, McD! No wonder your rating is 1.5 stars on google! Never go to Harry and Webb location in Wichita Ks if you don't want to leave angry!

I too have had issues with this location and manager, and some regular staff. They are rude, and practically throw your food at you through the window and on top of that rarely get the order right anyway. Ever since they put in that stupid double drive through it's a nightmare. I too waited 10-15 minutes...when I finally got up to the payment window I told them to cancel my order because I was tired of waiting and drove off, and was followed by several other cars. I now go to the one at Kellogg and Greenwich which is much better.

McDonald's wrong order, rude service, cold food.

My partner went through the drive through this morning. Once ordering he pulled up to the pay window. They told him that there would be a wait on food as they had to make it fresh. When they bought it out, it was only the burger by itself they did not put it as a meal like he requested. They corrected the situation however when he opened up his food to eat it, the burger was dead cold and had ingredients missing off it. They also stated that they would make it fresh, now if that burger were fresh it would have been hot. On top of all that the service was slow and the service was rude. We are not happy at all. McDonald's Atherton need to pull here heads into gear. And its not the first time its happened with there order being wrong and rude service!.

The Wellsboro, PA McDonald's has some of the worst customer service of any McDonalds that I have visted. The Wellsboro, PA McDonald's has a policy of ALWAYS telling the drive thru customer to "pull-ahead" if any item is not immediately ready and other customers are in the drive thru behind you. This would not be a real problem if they did not ALWAYS wait...

McDonald's store cleanliness & food

Hi, I would like to make a complaint about the McDonald's & Mccfe Store at Coffs Harbour South. My husband & I have just got home from a caravan trip where we visited our son & daugther in Coffs harbout in the last week of July 2012. We met our son & familhy at McDonald's South store for morning tea & we were very disappointed with the unclean state of the dining room & lack of any person cleaning it while we were there for 2hrs. As we only had one day to see our family we went away for a while then came back at 3.30pm to afternoon tea. We were totally appaulled with the service from the young girls at the McCafe counter. We ordered coffee & scones, jam & cream. The coffees were made & just put on the counter without a tray then the boxes of scones were placed beside them, we picked them up without a word from the staff & returned to our seats only to find that the scones were so hard, not been warmed & the cream was just squirted in the bottom of the cardboard box in no container. We think this is terrible. We would also like to complain about the Shift Manager of the day. His had a great head of dredlocks which was very unsightly & dirty looking & we think that this should not be the case for a food store, most places hair has to tied back & wearing a cap. It really turned us off eating there again. thank you for listing to our complaint . Kay & Allan sparrow

McDonald's customer service and restaurant cleanliness

I went into the McDonald's restaurant in Paola, KS with 2 friends. I was visiting from out of town and we stopped to get a bite to eat. I ordered an Angus Swiss and Mushroom Sandwich meal. My friends also ordered their meals. It wasn't long when my meal was ready to eat. We found a table near a window and sit down. We saw a trail of ants along the window seal and several flies flying around. This was disgusting, these ants were going up and down the window as well. I did take a picture of the ants.
I proceeded to eat my sandwich and enjoy my meal and got a mouthful of mayo. I used 3 napkins to take some of the mayo off of the sandwich but there was so much mayo on it and the burger itself was really dry. I went to the counter and stood for several minutes waiting on the manager to come to the counter. Not one person came to the counter, when she was done helping at the drive-thru she immediately came to the counter and asked me how she could help. I asked for a fresh burger and told her that there was way to much mayo on this sandwich and that it was really dry. She asked if I wanted no mayo or light mayo on the replacement sandwich. I replied light mayo, so she put in the order. I overheard a cook in the back mouth off and say, "well, what do they expect" I felt that this was directed about me and although more than one time and more than one person said easy or light mayo, the second sandwich had none. I don't like to complain in restaurant but I really felt that I was belittled for asking for a replacement sandwich. I absolutely will never step foot into this particular mcdonald's again. I have never been treated with such disrespect as a customer. The manager did attempt to resolve this problem but the cook was mouthing off after being corrected more than once. You can believe me when I say I will pass the word around about this restaurant and the cook named Clayton Norcross.

McDonald's in Lisbon Falls, ME is my regular stop for an ice cold Dr Pepper. They seem to have a problem keeping help and the window at times can be very backed up so I go in. 2 days ago I went inside because it was quicker. When I got my drink and went to take a cover out of dispenser I realized how disgustingly dirty the dispensers were. The idea is better sanitary conditions and they were so dirty the doors were sticking defeating the purpose. The whole area was dirty.
Tonight I stopped at the Lewiston McDonalds I don't like the parking lot but I went in and was amazed at how much cleaner their drinks area was and I complimented a woman who was there cleaning a already clean area.

McDonald's order messed up

Last April we went to this McDonalds and part of our order was two fish sandwiches. We arrived home opened our food to eat and there was no fish on our sandwiches. We called, complained, and they offered to give us two more fish sandwiches...everyone else had finished their meals - WHY BOTHER. So, we avoided this drive-thru restaurant (until today, MISTAKE #2!).
My son wasn't feeling well and I ordered him a Southern Style Chicken MEAL to get him fries (which he was craving since he had been sick) and he agreed to eat some chicken to have something on his stomach. I also order two Big Macs.
Obviously, we got home, unpacked, NO FRIES. I called and they offered to give us order of fries however, the drive and the time really wasn't worth it for two dollars worth of fries - IT WAS WORTH IT WHEN I WAS THERE! I called and the lady was nice...just as the last lady was when I complained about the fish sandwiches. I avoid Edgewood McDonalds so much I couldn't even ask them to take my name and information as I really really really don't ever want to go back there. It's unfortunate that I only live a few miles from there but I drive several additional miles to go to another facility. I WISH THEY WOULD SIMPLY GET THE ORDER RIGHT?!?! I don't ask for much!

Why should I check my order. They should get it right, and I don't make mistakes ever because I am cautious. As for when when my son makes mistakes I smack him and tell him how stupid he is. I only wish that the employees were seven years old as well so I could do the same to them.

McDonald's terrble serive, terrible food.

Hello There! I WAS a regular customer at the Douglastown McDonalds seeing that I am an employee at the mall just steps away. After my shift at work my boyfriend, myself and our two little girls usually go threw the drivethu honestly I don't think theres ever been a time they haven't made a mistake! Every single time we go thu we always end up with a mistake. I have celliac which means I can't eat flour so I purposly ask for a burger without the bun & I always repeat it to make sure they understand.. & everytime I end up having a burger on a bun and the [censored]tty thing is I can't remove the patty off the bun, and eat it cause its contamminated my meat can't even touch bread.. soo numourous times I had to go back in & get them to do it right.. They are never nice, most of them act like they are made to work there. I noticed some of the employees are confused and very puzzled! They never smile, no nothing.. not even a "Thanks". After having sooo many mistakes with the Drive Thru we resorted to going in and ordering so we could make sure things were right.. They got it right yes, most of the time.. but the customer serviice is terrible half of them don't even know what there doing.. After putting up with wrong orders & terrible service my boyfriend and I have fount a new place to go to grab foood.. They offer gluten free buns, and they are happy to see us! After everything we went through I was hoping that maybe we could at least get a free meal or something.. maybe we could give them a second chance.. If not thats ok too, I just want to let the company know what we've been through so hopefully they can make some changes sooo others don't have to go through what we went through. Thank you for your time.. Amanda Marsh

McDonald's happy meal

I take my son to McDonald's after football practice every week but upon arriving I order my sons happy meal but with no yogart because he can't eat dairy other McDonald's will give him the small bag of fries and no yogart. This day I go in and the employee told me that the store manager said that I can't change the meal that I have to take the yogart and pay extra for fries. Now for the sake of a small fry they have lost my business for life. It is a medial reason my son don't get yogart not choice I think it is disgraciful that a store can continue to be in business and just not care about their consumers. (The employee agreed with me)

McDonald's older children bullying toddlers

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and just recently I took my 3 year old to a McDonald's in Shaler, PA which is about a 5 minute drive. While we were there in the play area, there were 4 boys between the ages of 10 -13 years old that were terrorizing my child. I became angry because the parents did nothing to correct their children. When I yelled at one of them(the youngest about ten) he started to cry and asked him to stop the mother yelled at me. She then informed me that they were only terrorizing my son because my son bit one of them. My son is three and three year old's bite when they don't get what they want. I felt like biting them but I would never touch some one's child. The play area is very poorly designed, that once children are on top in the play area there is a partial wall that hangs down and blocks the view of the children playing. I am angry because older children run rampant in the play area and management will not do anything to stop it from happening. This had happened once before and now I refuse to go back to that ### hole ever again. To see a small child being bullied is horrible beyond words, but when management will do nothing to prevent it is beyond horrible.

The two posters above me obviously have no children of their own. Three year old's bite. It is a developmental stage for them since they can't communicate what they want properly. A ten year old can. I admit I should not have used profanity towards a child, but these kids were terrorizing my three year old for being a three year old.

Actually, the containers of sauce cost more than the nuggets, so I've heard from my manager. Apparently, each nugget is only worth about 6c while each little cup of sauce is worth 10c, so each customer gets up to 4 for free, then pay for the rest. :p.

I'm surprised no one complains for paying $2.79 for a 6 piece nugget, while a ten piece is $3.99, and a 20 piece is $4.99, that seems like a bigger ripoff.

Maybe three year old children still do bite for attention, but they usually stop that behavior before three years of age. If your son is biting other children he should be removed from the play area until he can play fair. While an older child would tell their parents if some three year old is biting them a ten year old does not think of this solution, instead they defend themselves. Three or not your child should be removed from the playground if he is biting other children.
