McDonalds

Every time I stop in Perry I dread the service at this McDonalds. This time was no different. Five minute wait to get the wrong food ( wrung my order up wrong). And my iced mocha was ignored, then when staff realized no one made it, the machine locked up because the last person didn't finish cleaning it. When it was finally made it had whip on it which had specifically asked to not have . The shift manager was very polite and refunded my money ( first time that happened!) I've never had a problem with rude staff here but of the hundreds of McD's I visit around the country this one never seems to be efficient or correct regardless of time:breakfast, lunch or dinner. Double check your order if you drive through!

I'm not sure what I expected to get out of a McDonald's. I drove to Perry to meet my parents who have been working some in Wichita. I thought, I'll run in here, use the bathroom, and get a big water while I wait.

From the people who brought you super size fries, Big Macs, McRibs and processed chicken bits wearing onesies made of greasy batter, it should not come a surprise that these folks don't have a moment of concern about my well-being or my ability to hydrate effectively. But even from these diabetes peddlers I was shocked to learn that if you want a water that is larger than the size of a kid's drink, you'll need a dollar. A dollar you say, but that's the same price as sausage Mcmuffin, or a McChicken- even a McDouble! And I tell you, it's true.

So the next time you think you might order a McDouble after a big night out drinking, just remember, in some totally effed universe, it 'costs' McDonald's the same to feed you a hamburger with two patties as a medium water. Wrong doesn't even begin to cut it. I feel a Chris Rock style rant coming on so I'm just going to leave it.

I know, I know. It's a McDonald's. But they are supposed to be consistent. We picked this one as we were driving home. It was 5:55 a.m., and we were in a hurry. Just got  iced coffee, a mcmuffin, and cinnamelts. Not anything fancy. First, they didn't fill the coffee to top...there was nearly an inch and a half left to the top. Kinda cheap, given that coffee isn't expensive and I had paid extra for a shot of espresso. The cinnamelts were dry.  But what really got me was that they wouldn't open 4 minutes early so that my son could use the bathroom.  In a disinterested tone, the man at the window said that they didn't open until 6, sorry.  So...next time we drive along the 35, we'll skip it.
