McDonald's in Rochester

“I went this morning between 9am-10am and the lady at the drive though was amazing. Very friendly and made sure my son’s sausage McGriddle was made correctly. I explained how the last few times it had cheese on it and my son’s been upset because he doesn’t like cheese on it. I figured I’d share (tried calling) that my son was so happy his response when he took the sandwich apart “look mama they made my sandwich right no cheese”! I thought the lady at the window should know and be recognized lol!“

“Driving home from a bike race on a bright afternoon, I found myself craving something cool and refreshing, a familiar comfort to cap my busy weekend. The illuminated golden arches of a nearby McDonald's called out from the highway. Deciding to give myself a brief pause, I pulled in and ordered a large Diet Coke at the drive-thru, eager for a taste of something simple.

Moments later, I took my first sip—cold, bubbly, with that signature fountain blend that only McDonald's seems to perfect. The carbonation was just right, and the mix had that crisp, satisfying bite that instantly invigorated me. For a moment, time seemed to slow down as I enjoyed the small but excellent pleasure, my busy day feeling a touch lighter with every taste.

As I drove off, Diet Coke in hand, I felt surprisingly recharged. That quick detour, hardly more than a few minutes, proved just how much small comforts can brighten even the most demanding day. Sometimes, excellence hides in the simplest moments—a lesson I tucked away to share with my children someday.“
