McDonald’s

Please note, this review pertains to the breakfast service ONLY:
I’ve been wanting to try Taco Bell’s breakfast items since I first saw them advertised on t.v., but my husband won’t stray from McDonalds’ sausage & egg biscuits. :-) This morning, on my way to pick up breakfast from McDonald’s, I decided to pick up Taco Bell for myself and then get my husband’s biscuit sandwiches at McDonald’s (they are two stores apart from one another). Big mistake… HUGE!
When I pulled up to the Taco Bell Drive-​thru there were only 4 vehicles ahead of me, the last of which had just finished placing an order as I pulled up. I ordered 2 items (mind you, with NO substitutions or changes), a sausage & egg biscuit taco and a bacon & egg A.M. Crunchwrap. I was told how much my order would be, then I pulled ahead so the next person could order.
I proceeded to wait… and wait… and wait in line. A total of TWELVE minutes I waited… for only TWO ‘sandwiches’, behind only FOUR vehicles (none of which appeared to have large orders, by the way) only to be told, when I pulled up to the window, there was NO sausage! REALLY? They couldn’t have told me that when I ordered? I cannot believe, with only 4 vehicles in front of me, they couldn’t see when I ordered that they were running low on sausage (if they were not ALREADY out at that time)? Again I ask, REALLY?
Of course, I told them to cancel my order. I then proceeded to McDonald’s, as I SHOULD have done in the first place.
When I pulled into McDonald’s I counted 11 vehicles in their 2 drive-​thru lanes, not including the vehicles on the side of the building with the pick-​up windows (which I could not see from my position in line). I thought to myself, «I bet I’ll get through here in less time than it took at Taco Bell», then I took note of the current time on the clock.
When my turn came, I ordered 2 sausage & egg biscuits, hot cakes & sausage, and a large fat-​free latte’. As I suspected, a mere 7 minutes later… yes, that’s SEVEN minutes… I picked up my order and was on my way home, with the delicious smell of fresh coffee wafting through my car. Mmmmm…
Now, I have no illusions that my breakfast from McDonald’s was even CLOSE to being ‘gourmet’; nor would the breakfast from Taco Bell have been. However, YOU do the math. Which would YOU think was the better experience? Which would be YOUR preference in the future? I, for one, will continue to give McDonald’s my fast-​food breakfast business… NO QUESTION!
Before I pulled away from McDonald’s, I briefly described to the crew person what had just transpired and asked her to pass it on to the manager on duty. I added my thanks and congratulations for a job well done by the McDonalds’ staff.

Sometimes the cheese on Double Cheese Burgers isn’t melted, sometimes the Fries are salted, sometimes it’s not! I would still recommend it, just double check your order.
