Probably very few if any. Admittedly the outlier, I read Chipotle reviews because I’ve had too many of them give a time for pickup then proceed to dilly-dally for 20-30 mins past the time they gave me. Not cool. I’m happy to wait, but don’t tell me it’s going to be done.
The food and ingredients are the same, but the quality can vary a lot depending on how bad of job they do cooking it. When you’ve been disappointed enough by buying dry and borderline-burned breakfast, you stop trusting that all locations are equal.
If I’m stopping by somewhere out of town, yes. Food quality varies by location, and I’m not going to waste my money on an undercooked meal at McDonald’s when the competitor down the street is better.
I’m not directing this at you personally when I say this, but what the fuck is so hard for most people to believe about the idea? Is it a foreign concept to treat franchized fast food places run by different franchisees as not equal? I’m not the only one who uses reviews to decide if I should skip a crappy location.
what the fuck is so hard for most people to believe about the idea?
For me, it is a fact that such establishments are first and foremost matter of convenience, you go there because it is close to where you are at that moment and you expect to get fast food of dubious nutritional quality that is about the same (non)quality as in every other similar place. For fine dining worth prior research you go elsewhere than the McDonald’s.
I meant more like, that’s the best accolade you may get as someone working for McDonald’s. But yes, McDonald’s absolutely has a reason to support the status quo in terms of corporate rule.
With the review bombing and public hatred of that McDonald’s location? Fired is more like it.
I don’t think that McDonald’s gives single fuck about review bombing
The corporation? Definitely not. But review bombing and boycotting will hurt the profits of that franchised location, and its owner certainly will.
Do people really look at or read reviews of McDonald’s?
Probably very few if any. Admittedly the outlier, I read Chipotle reviews because I’ve had too many of them give a time for pickup then proceed to dilly-dally for 20-30 mins past the time they gave me. Not cool. I’m happy to wait, but don’t tell me it’s going to be done.
I have never looked at the reviews for a fast food franchise. They’re all much the same, which is kinda the point.
The food and ingredients are the same, but the quality can vary a lot depending on how bad of job they do cooking it. When you’ve been disappointed enough by buying dry and borderline-burned breakfast, you stop trusting that all locations are equal.
When you’re an out of towner looking for the nearest place to go and get coffee or use a public bathroom, reviews matter.
You research reviews of McDonald where you are going to get burger? Really?
You people Buy burgers in Macdonald’s?
If I’m stopping by somewhere out of town, yes. Food quality varies by location, and I’m not going to waste my money on an undercooked meal at McDonald’s when the competitor down the street is better.
You do not check the reviews before you go to McDonalds. Just quit.
And you do not speak for anybody other than yourself.
You’re insane.
