This goes even beyond McDonalds, but I am tired of going to all of these fast food places and no one can understand English. We are told that you cannot fire someone for not speaking English, but yet you can be let go for not speaking Spanish. Something is definitely wrong here. The last straw was this morning when I went to McDonald's I ordered what I wanted drove to the first window paid and then drove to the second window to pick up my food. The girl hands me my food and a coffee and I told her I asked for a Diet Coke. She just looked at me, and looked around at the other people, then figured it out. I got my Diet Coke then I asked for salt and she just kept saying salsa, and I kept saying no salt, then once again she started looking around, then figured it out. I realized she had filled my Diet Coke to full and it was coming out of the top all over and filling up my cup holder, so I grabbed the napkins and started cleaning it up, and I looked at the girl and asked for some more napkins and she just looked at me and I kept asking for napkins, and she started again looking around, I was really upset at this point, and told her I need some more napkins now. The girl turned around and got the manager and she came over to the window, and asked how she could help me, and I told her I need napkins because my drink is leaking all over. The manager handed me that napkins and apologized, because she new I was upset. I told her that they need to hire people that can speak and understand English.

Part of my family immigrated here and they spoke German in the home and English everywhere else, they didn't expect for everyone that was an American to conform to them, they adapted. The other part of my family is Cherokee Indian, and they are as native as you get and they even learned English. Why is it that only Hispanic people from Mexico are aloud to have a culture, and me as an American citizen are not aloud to have a culture, demand that English be spoken only, and why are my rights less then people that have broken the law to get here.

I was in Mexico a couple of weeks ago, and no one there was bending over backwards to speak English to me or give me something for free, and I didn't see an American's down there working in any of the places we went.

Something is really wrong here, and we need to make this corporations accountable for the people they hire. Maybe start hiring young American kids that speak English and would like to make some money while going to school.

Thank you ,

The location at Hwy 19 in Griffin Georgia is consistently a disaster. The food is old, the service is slow, and the order is usually wrong. Employees are on their cell phones or talking to each other.

I purchased a drink from McDonald's on 920 n York rd Elmhurst, I'll I was drinking my drink and noticed a funny taste to it and open the lid and I saw little white things floating in my cup and I called and they said maybe it was probably from the machine because it was almost out but now it's got my stomach hurting.

All the Lafayette area McDonald's suffer from the same problem, their drive thrus are very slow. They do not get orders correct. They do not check the orders before handing them out. Time of day does not seem to matter, I have been at the stores at rush hour and I have been at stores at quiet time.

Today I received the wrong food. Paid for Triple meal sausage egg and received a ham sandwich. Ugh. All this after waiting 15 minutes in the drive thru. Then I called and they couldn't hear 3x's. This is the 2nd time this week getting the wrong food. I don't work close. Have to return another day. Just annoying how they messing up orders.

Attention! I ordered a large smoothie from the drive through and noticed the cup was rather small when i finally found the cup size they gave me a medium rather than the large i paid for! These workers really need proper training at this location they are always forgetting something or getting orders wrong please fix this issue!

Bring back the Big N tasty burger. It's the only thing I really liked at McDonald's. I don't go to McDonald's very often but I would go more if they brought back the Big n tasty.

7/19/9 drive up & ordered large chicken nuggets & extra sauce since its a large order & only (1) one sauce was in bag we asked girl at window for more and when she came back to window she said her manager said NO only one sauce and if we want more we would have to pay! If McDonald's is that hard up we won't do business with them anymore!

Dirty, Worst mcD Ive ever been to in suburbs of Philadelphia.. Drive through very slow. Rat traps all over back bt drive window. Owner brand new MERCEDES BENZ next to broken unusable menu board. Drive window broken.

Not even to mention poor untrained kids that work there.

This place is a s*** box.

No photos. Just never my business again!

In your recently opened Mc Donalds restaurant in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina hygiene levels are dreadfull! On my way to Croatian sea coast I even talked to manager and pointed out unacceptable level of filth in toilets, only to find much worse conditions on my return! Shift manager just laughed on my complaints! Happy to share photos as a proof

I was just wondering how safe it is for an employee to be deep frying something while surfing Facebook at the same time. When the cashier noticed that I was recording, she seemed to have attitude towards me.

On Sept. 5th 4:30am I went to the drive thru on my way to work. I ordered a sausage and egg biscuit...it took at least 10 minutes or more to get it and the biscuit was hard as brick. Waiting that long I would of thought it would of least been fresh.

I am a regular customer of Mc Donald. On Saturday 7 sept, i had 5 chicken purchased as take away at rs238.
In fact, 4 of the 5 chicken purchased were very small & not of standard size. Also, we had to wait a lot & only at pick up point, we were told that there is no spicy chicken.

They don't disclose information and they didn't provide our orders correctly. They are lazy and can't make us understand that the system is changing we had to figure it out our selves that's why we redeem them unprofessional. We will see and your response on how you respond to this. Yeah
