McDonald’s

Bought a quarter pounder & asked for a cup of water. They wanted 20 cents. HUH! Guess times are tough LOL. I passed on the water & I Will pass on this lousy dump.

Warning: this Commercial Drive location mostly serves the homeless & has a high volume of transient people who go there. Due to this demographic it’s evident that the management and employees there don’t care to serve your food properly & respectfully. I never eat at McDonald’s mostly only mcmuffins but this makes me never to want to come back again because the food is quickly thrown together & not properly hot or cold. The machines are not well maintained as you can see from the milk shake that I ordered. Honestly, I would not even feed my dog the food they sell. I heard from my colleague that macdonalds poutine is pretty good and during my walk to commercial drive decided to try it out only to discover it’s the most disgusting poutine I have ever tasted: The poutine had cheese curds that were freezing cold. It had a bad taste in texture with soggy limp fries drenched in gravy. I think the most disturbing was finding 3 pieces of green plastic saran wrap that came from the cheese curd packaging. The staff ripped open the cold cheese curds to pour over the fries without realizing that the pieces of plastic fell into the poutine.
Lastly, I have had many milkshakes but this one was not drinkable with the amount of yellow in it from stale melted ice cream. Although I pointed it out the manager he said: «that’s just the way the machine works»
I won’t be coming back here and save your money where the food is safe & clean and customer service is up to standard. You are really treated like just a number here. When you pay hard earned money for food at least your experience should not be so disgusting and unappetizing. There is no excuse for this.

This has to be the worst McDonald’s food chain aesthetically, customer service wise and cleanliness wise. It’s near the bottom of the Commercial Drive area. It is small and it is a hole in the wall compared to the other locations. Even though a McD’s has no place on Commercial Drive it’s always packed from people to and from the skytrain or those wanting fast food before hitting the B-​Line. The bathroom is always dirty. I am convinced that the bathrooms on Orange is the New Black is more sanitary than the bathroom here. The manager has small **** complex. Many times that I’ve gone in I’ve heard him yell at their staff like children, make them feel small, is very condescending and embarrasses them for little things that aren’t their fault in front of the entire customer line. It breaks my heart ’cause I see their sole being sucked away by the minute as this is happening. The manager was also rude to me. They got the order wrong and he was convinced it was ’cause I never told the lady at the til in the first place even though the guy behind me vouched for me.

This is the classy joint I usually go when i wait for my Wife at the Skytrain Station.
There’s not much to comment on about the food (as everyone’s been to McD’s), but I should never have cold soggy fries. I hope you can learn from other McDonalds and make Fresh Fries every now and then.
As mentioned before, make more apple pies. I’ve been here numerous times where they’ve run out! :(
Also, this place needs more seating.
2 Stars because I usually WIN a sandwich here while playing McDonalds Monoply!

You think you can avoid standard McDonald’s practice and NOT accept American Express and get away with it? (see
) Nah-​ah *wag of the finger*. You don’t think I’ll go out of my way to add you as a business just to point this out? You underestimate me. This is tolerable, even understandable, for a small business, but not a high volume high traffic joint like McDonalds.
And stop running out of apple pie. Drives me nuts. But maybe it’s because they taste so good, because I must admit you bake them up pretty good.
Actually the McDonald’s in this area used to be much more run down, and nowadays looks much cleaner and welcoming.

Omigod, do you know how hard it was for me to find the address of this particular McD’s so i could review it? Very, VERY, difficult. I even went to the McDonald’s website, put in my postal code to find the nearest restaurant, and it kept directing me to ones much, much farther away. You know why? Because the place is so shameful that even the McDonald’s company itself doesn’t want you coming here.
I finally went in here for the first time ever the other weekend because my boyfriend and i wanted ice cream after midnight (yes, i know it isn’t ice cream, it’s basically just processed lard, lets move on, ok? I’m trying not to think about it) but i could probably have written about 500 reviews about the place before then just based on the shit that i’ve seen go on in there from walking by outside.
On the night we happened to swing by it was full of the usual drunk, super size me teenagers you always see loitering in and around the restaurant seven days a week. The girls were all dressed in very little clothing (i seriously had one of those grandma moments where i exclaimed ‘where are their jackets?!’ to my boyfriend.) complaining about their baby daddies. One of them eventually stumbled over to another table and tried to pick up one of the drunk males there by expressing her interest in having another baby. No, really, that’s what she did. It didn’t work though, poor thing. Meanwhile two girls who couldn’t have been older than 14 were having a hair pulling, screaming, shoving, sobbing wrestling match as their friends casually ignored them in a manner that suggested it was a common occurrence. The drunk tank police showed up eventually and carted them off, but i missed most of that action because another drunk teen started yelling as loudly and as randomly as possible at a table closer to ours.
The thing is, i can’t say i didn’t enjoy my time there because it was really damn entertaining… but entertaining in the sort of way that makes you feel like you’re watching Jerry Springer. ATTN people who cast the Jersey Shore: You need to get here STAT!
