McDonald’s

Nothing better than seeing a McDonalds employee picking and playing with his bull looking nose ring. The ladies helping were awesome though. Just can’t get past the picking in both nostrils to rotate the nose hoop ring and thinking «this guy is touching our food.»

We stopped here and the place, bathrooms, counter were filthy. The sodas were very syrupy. Lots of kids sitting around chatting and not working

Waited forever for a triple cheeseburger. Get home and it’s a McDouble in my bag. I called and they tell me to bring in receipt but I paid cash and they didn’t give me one.

Stopped here today because it was right off the interstate and I wish I hadn’t! Ordered a southern style chicken and when I got in the car and my husband drove off the box was right but it was a fillet of fish sandwich with pickles on it. Not chicken. Guess I need to actually start opening boxes and wrappers to check if my food is right…

This McDonald’s is why I stopped at the Altamont McDonald’s (see previous review).
Back several months ago, when I told a colleague that I was headed here for work for a bit, her eyes lighted up and said, «You know, we stop there every time we go to the cabin because it’s exactly halfway and the girls love the Playland!» Ok, so there are two exits for Mattoon, and I usually take the latter exit going I-​57 North. And that’s the one that has the Playland. This one does not have a Playland. I guess it might have something to do with the fact that it’s so close to Lake Land College, which is probably the only reason why McDonald’s put two storefronts up in Mattoon. (that and because Burger King can’t, but that’s another story for another day.).
So a less than stellar McDonald’s? You don’t say!
*I had LivingSocial coupons and they had no idea what to do with them. It took awhile.
*They charged me for tax when they shouldn’t have with a free coupon (but it’s not like they’ve been the only ones.).
*As I was pulling away, I could hear one co-​worker say to the other, «Do you KNOW how much she just paid for her meal? 19 cents!» (Well, it should be have been zero because I had paid ahead of time… but again, whatever.).
Lakeland Blvd is also a divided highway where you pull out of the McDonald’s, so there is no way to get back onto I-​57 unless you make a U-​turn off of the 4 lane highway once the median disappears further on. Ugh. No thanks.
