“I see so many people putting negative comments and experiences they’ve had. Everybody has their way. I’ll also say that in this time of age, some people are in too much of a hurry, creating a negative atmosphere as they come up towards staff or management. With that being said. I found my experience today to be very honorable. It’s very few times that I will get the exact food exactly how I want it from a fast food restaurant. I’m not one who goes to fast food very often anymore. It’s not healthy for me and I acknowledge that but once in a while, it’s OK to treat yourself folks. So with that being said, I came into this McDonald’s, which is just a block away from my home. I’ve been here several times before been OK. This time, the food was absolutely perfect. The french fries were warm, the chicken nuggets were perfect. I had two double cheeseburgers custom-made. And they were made to my specs exactly. I was so so impressed. The drink was good. I’m impressed with this meal today and the wonderful lady behind the counter who brought me my food. Wonderful personality very delightful. So we all have our different experiences, but I can tell you on my experience today. I had a wonderful experience. The food was great. The people were good thank you.“
