1 /5 Cole Wood: ⭐☆☆☆☆ McDisappointment
I don’t know what happened to McDonald’s, but this place has fallen off harder than my WiFi during a Zoom call. I pulled into the drive-thru craving a McChicken and some fries, but I left with cold food, confusion, and a renewed sense of disappointment in humanity.
First off, I waited in line for 18 minutes behind two cars. How does that even happen? Were they raising the cows out back before making the burgers? When I finally got to the window, the teenager working there looked at me like I’d personally ruined his day just by ordering food.
I asked for no pickles on my burger. What did I get? A burger with extra pickles, as if the universe was trying to punish me. The fries were lukewarm and tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp since Tuesday. And my Sprite? Flat. No fizz, no soul, just sadness in a cup.
The worst part? The ice cream machine was (surprise) broken. Again. I feel like they keep that thing broken just out of spite.
Overall, it was a chaotic, joyless experience. I came for fast food and left with emotional damage. Do better, McDonald’s.
