I was reminded of how the stores used to be, where hamburgers were actually cooked on a grill, fries were hot and tasty and service was truly expeditious and friendly. Not so in Sandy, OR.<BR/>The store (#6759) is old, dirty and in need of repairs. The bathrooms are dingy and cleaned on occasion. As for the coffee, the documentary spoke of (competing with well-known brands), the brewed stuff presented here is very dark and bitter, most often not fresh. Last week I went to store 6759 (only one in Sandy) for coffee and a sandwich with a friend. We stood for at least five minutes while three female employees had a conversation, ignoring us. I felt as though we were bothering them.<BR/>Ironically, after watching the show and wishing things were better at our McDonald's, my wife asked me to stop and get some double cheeseburgers for a quick snack today. As I unwrapped one of my burgers, I broke into a grin and ran for my digital camera. One of the patties was about 3/4 inch off the bun, hanging over the side.<BR/>Because of the bad service, poor presentation and food, we most often drive past McDees to Taco Bell, just around the drive.<BR/>I don't know if whoever reads this will send my concerns on to a person of power who might care but I can tell you this store is a sad representation of the Mc-corporation's standards and goals.douloschristoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754225178984428625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529235.post-56788199840223695562007-08-01T22:06:00.000-04:002007-08-01T22:06:00.000-04:00An interesting review of this show appears on the ...An interesting review of this show appears on the QSR website: <BR/><BR/>http://www.qsrmagazine.com/articles/news/story.phtml?id=5648<BR/><BR/>The McChronicles finds it sad that, even in an article by a fast-food-oriented publication, EVERYTHING seems to be McDonald's fault. We're not defending McDonald's, we're defending fairness. <BR/><BR/>In one example, the author of this review, Blair Chancey, states that the show's host, "...approached actual customers. When two men tell him that they have eaten at the quick-serve everyday for two weeks and had no clue the meal's calorie information was printed in three different places, it's clear that the company's health-conscious efforts are not making their way to the consumer."<BR/><BR/>Notice how they didn't say that the men had failed to read the multiple info opportunities during any of the multiple times they were exposed to it over multiple days (even years). The men aren't making their way to the abundant opportunities to learn. Who's "fault" is that?McChronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500469219873326321noreply@blogger.com
