Featured review

I am a 68-year-old Marine veteran who is navigating life well despite my recent radiation treatments. After my session today, I stopped at the McDonald's drive-thru for a quick meal, but I faced an unexpected challenge. Needing to use the restroom, I found the door locked and approached a young employee for assistance. Instead of helping, he laughed and told me I could use the bathroom only after making a purchase. As I began to ask for the manager, I lost control and soiled myself, feeling humiliated as others in line watched. This experience left me questioning how a place like McDonald's, once a symbol of comfort and community, could treat veterans, the elderly, and those battling illness with such disregard.

It seems from your response that you are the employee who spent the entire time laughing. Ray Kroc would certainly be proud of your enthusiasm. However, I wonder if this job is truly the pinnacle of your career, as I suspect there may be better opportunities elsewhere, perhaps in fries, where the real money lies. It appears you may have already reached the high point of your life, with little room for growth ahead. Meanwhile, my three decades of service to my country seem to hold little significance for you.

Weather you are the employee or not, I want you to know that this incident made me so angry that I took my anger out on my mother. I hurt her real bad, and she needed stitches. My father helped her press charges and neither of my parents are speaking to me. The military is looking to have me dishonorly discharged because of them. They made me angry enough to give my own mother a black eye. McDonalds is ruining my three decades of serving.

I do not care. Becausr of this incident they want to discharge me from the military. I was so angry. I was angry when I got home that I hurt my own mother. My father helped her press charges and the military wants my status discharged for hunting my own mom. So McDonald's ruined the life of a three decade veteran.

I just want you to know. I admit. I lied about being in the military. I was hoping that if I did someone would buy me a free meal. That they would respect me. I guess they do not respect veterals.

Also, I have no place to stay. I was kicked out of the homeless shelter for using coke. I am not really a veteran. I just pretend to be on so people do what I want. Sadly this incident made me so angry that I took my anger out on an innocent baby. I may end up in jail since the parents are pressing charges. I did not have money to buy the food, and I needed to use the washroom. I was hoping that if I lied about being a veteran people would feel bad for me and buy me food. I guess I was wrong NO one respects veterans. I would have bought something but I have no money. I spent it on coke.

It seems your education level is around the eighth grade. Simply copying a screen name and adding a period does not transform you into that person; it merely highlights immature behavior. This tactic suggests that you may have been let go from your job, possibly even from a position as a fry cook at McDonald's. If that's the case, it's unfortunate, as this could have been a valuable learning experience for you. It's important to acknowledge your actions and move forward. However, it appears you may not view it this way. I will be in touch with McDonald's again tomorrow.

Can you not read. This person does don't work for McDonalds, nor did they lose their job. Your education is obviously at first grade. No one here works for the company. Also, stop talking about how you like little girls.

I only posted under this name. The other person has the period at the end of their name. That person and you both work for MCDonalds and got fired. GROW UP.

The person who made this review posted this. IP address matches. Besides if you click on Chris's username you will see that he replied to other places as well and was on this site weeks before this IDIOT posted his complaint. This means that Tracey is lying about him working for the company. He is lying about being a veteran and he is lying about not making posts. He is lying about that person having an eight grade level of education. THE OP has failed grade one English. He is a drunk.
