McDonald’s

I agree with the other reviewers. this is the worst McDonalds I’ve been to. I used to LOVE LOVE McDonalds, but recently the service and the food have gone downhill in my opinion. It’s no longer fast food, as it seems to take forever. I timed the drive-​thru once. I was only getting ice cream.$ 5, at 9pm on a weekday, and it took 10 minutes from the time I ordered until I got to the pick up window. And then the order was WRONG! Ordering from the counter isn’t any better. So I’ve stopped going to McDonalds all together as there are so many other places in Hopewell to get a burger or a sandwich.

If you want your kids to be forced to watch MSN (Fires, train wrecks) while they eat their happy meals, this is the place to go. Apparently they are unable to change the channel.

I’ve gone to this establishment about two years ago it not that far from Van Wyck Middle School I can say I wasn’t please with the service I got from some young snotty guy in his late teens or early twenties the last time I was there. Now wonder this place doesn’t get the business like the other establishments do around the area. It was almost close to noon on a weekday there wasn’t hardly a line of customers waiting to be called next to make their order. I haven’t been back to this place and I never will. If you don’t want to work then you shouldn’t have a job in the first place.

I realize that I’m reviewing a McDonald’s. God help me.
Like many, I have kids. Kids like McDonalds. I was a kid once. I once liked McDonald’s. See McSpot. See McSpot run.
More often than not, I just get a large McCoffee and talk to my kids as they eat their McMeals. It’s not that I consider McDonald’s to be «bad» food, it’s just that I prefer not to eat it if something else is available.
That said, the McDonald’s on 376 in Hopewell Junction is the worst one I have ever been in, anywhere. But due to its convenience, I have been there many, many times. I’ve been in a Lexan-​walled, bullet proof McDonald’s in the South Bronx (Bruckner Blvd.), I have been in a similar McDonald’s in Detroit, I have been in McDonald’s in foreign lands on three continents, and all over everywhere else in the US. Out of all of them, the Hopewell Junction location is consistently the sloppiesrt and most disorganized one I have ever seen. The garbage is always overflowing (unless it’s on the floor), the tables are seldom clean, and the restroom… ugh. Part of McDonald’s fame and reputation is built on their cleanliness, so this particular location is an aberration.
I always either get my order it to go, or go through the drive-​thru, but I know to open the bag and check before I pull away. There’s a fifty-​fifty chance that the order is wrong.
Another time, the cashier at the drive up window short-​changed me, and while I’m sure that wasn’t intentional on his part, he couldn’t deal with it when I tried to politely explain he owed me another $ 1.08. He became flustered, closed the window and walked away. The manager came a few minutes later, apologized, corrected the mistake, and explained that the lad «has social disabilites.» Well, I can understand that, but maybe he shouldn’t be a cashier? I wondered about the competence of the manager.
McDonald’s is McDonald’s. But the one on Route 9 in Fishkill is superior to this one.
