... warning, incoming rant... You know what you call a 24 hour mcdonalds at 1am when you're on foot? .... CLOSED #%&@!
Fuchsia Fox
How bloody hard is it to put 'closed to pedestrians between the hours of x & x' on the damn site?! Bad enough that nobody there answers the damn phones, so you can't even check.
Fuchsia Fox
If anyone is curious as to why this bugs me, I was hungry, noting is open close but them, saw '24hours' on the site, tried to call... no answer. Silly me right? Thinking I could get food at a 24 hour place...
Fuchsia Fox
I mean I can wait till things open and I can go grocery shopping but... /sigh
Fuchsia Fox
Sorry guys. I guess I'm cranky when I'm hungry @@ I'm gonna try and sleep this off.
tronja307020
Eh, at least it's still open for people with cars? We have a "24-hour" mcdonalds that can't make up it's fucking mind on whether it's a 24-hour mcdonalds or not.
Fuchsia Fox
Doesn't do me a fat lot of good. No car.
Fuchsia Fox
Besides it's more the fact it's false advertising... it doesn't say '24hour drive through only' just 'open 24hours'
tronja307020
Yeaaah, those are seriously the most aggrevating, I stg. Maybe they do it so there's less chance of them being robbed? idk.
Fuchsia Fox
There is no notice on the website, no notes, can't get anyone to ask by phone...
Fuchsia Fox
I don't care why they do it, I can even understand that... but damn it all... SAY AS MUCH... @@
Fuchsia Fox
I'm not mad that it's closed to people walking, more that it's advertized as being 'open'...
Fuchsia Fox
Despite the fact the only thing 'open' is the drivethrough.
Fuchsia Fox
If you get where I'm coming from?
tronja307020
Yeaaaah, seriously, when they started doing those "only the drive-through is open" things, it just irritated me. 9A9
Fuchsia Fox
I mean... the coffee shops around, they say 24 hour drivethrough, and put hours on the door for the restaurant portion...
Fuchsia Fox
This place? No hours. zip, nada, nothing.
tronja307020
Though it's nice to know that they're open at least a little, I like it when they say "drive-through only" everywhere for you to see, or at least have them...uhhh...
tronja307020
LOL my brain just brainfarted. o_O
Fuchsia Fox
lol well it is late.
tronja307020
IDK. I was going to have a second point, but I forgot it. XD;;;
Fuchsia Fox
I'd be sleeping if it weren't for me being hungry and now cranky.
Fuchsia Fox
XD
tronja307020
Eh, I'm now destined to be forever-awake-at-night with my job. lmfao
Fuchsia Fox
I'm pretty sure this place is supposed to be a 24hour 'full serve'... So come 8am I'm calling in a complaint... If for nothing else than failing to answer the damn phone when I was standing right outside the
Fuchsia Fox
door, watching someone stare at the ringing phone and not answering.
Fuchsia Fox
I mean it's not like the person had anything better to do... sitting there reading a paper and all...
tronja307020
LMFAO yeahhhh, that's mcdonald's for you.
Fuchsia Fox
I've been to a few great ones, but most of them fucking suck.
Fuchsia Fox
I will say if they offer me 'free food' for this like they have before, I'll take it and give it to the first homeless person I see... because I'm done with their crap.
Fuchsia Fox
Maybe I'll try again in another 2 or 3 years...
Fuchsia Fox
/huffs and sighs
tronja307020
awww. :< See, mine usually never offer free food unless they forget something. :/ And they forget things so much at this point it's just not worth it to call back and complain.
Fuchsia Fox
Oh no... I'm calling the headquarters, not the shop itself... because if they closed down the seating area when it's supposed to be open, they get in big shit for that.
Fuchsia Fox
I hold out no hope of actually getting someone from the actual shop judging by the way they 'answer' the phone... Also something they can get in shit for as far as I know.
tronja307020
Ohhh, ok. Yeah, I've never actually called corporate on a restaurant. >_>
Fuchsia Fox
Considering the list of people complaining about this location is pretty long now that I'm looking... It looks like a direct complaint is overdue...
Fuchsia Fox
... and I did not know that was a 'walk up' window at the front of the shop... So they are supposed to be serving pedestrian traffic... They lazy fuck just didn't want to get up to come to the window...
Fuchsia Fox
>.<;;; Maybe I'm mad over nothing... but damn it. I want answers... this will teach em to not answer the phone though. If they had answered when I called in the first place, I wouldn't even have bothered to go.
Fuchsia Fox
Which wouldn't have me calling the head office over this...
Fuchsia Fox
(annoyed)
tronja307020
Yeaah, very possible. We have a Popeye's like that near me. >8C It pisses me off almost every time I go there, so we go to another one a little farther away.
tronja307020
Ohhh, I didn't know there were "walk-up windows!" Maybe that's what that one "third" window at the one I go to is for!
Fuchsia Fox
Possibly. Is it at the front of the shop somewhere where cars can't drive up to?
tronja307020
Naw, this one is in the same area as the car drive-through. >_> It's just smaller and at the end of the building.
Fuchsia Fox
If a car can travel in the same area, then nope. That's not it.
Fuchsia Fox
Granted, I'm going on secondhand info here... but really... why else would they have a 'drive through' window next to the front doors where it's walking space only?
tronja307020
Drat! ah well, that makes sense, at least. >_>
tronja307020
Yeah, I've just never seen one with a walk-through window. XD;;;
tronja307020
I think the "third window" is for when they're going slow as balls and need to just keep people moving along.
Fuchsia Fox

This is about the ony pic I could find atm, it's a lot fancier than the one at this place but...
Fuchsia Fox
This one, the lazy sob reading at the counter would actually have to get up to go to said window.
tronja307020
Ohhh, well that's ok! XD
tronja307020
that's cool, I mean.
Fuchsia Fox
Yeah the idea is a neat one... It's the employees that need work X/
tronja307020
Yeah, but that's generally the problem with most fast-food problems. >m>
Fuchsia Fox
I mean... I'd be willing to pay more, even tip if it meant better service... >.>
Fuchsia Fox
Got through to the other 24hour mcd's about another 60ish min walk up the street from the place I stopped into... confirmed that yes, the place I went to should be doing walk in traffic because the one I
Fuchsia Fox
called is only drive through atm due to construction... the one I went to is supposed to be picking up the slack for the sit in area.
Fuchsia Fox
Sooo ya... def calling it in.
tronja307020
Yeah, exactly! If they do good service, then awesome. If not, then it pisses me off! >8C
tronja307020
I'd totally call in and be pissed.
Fuchsia Fox
You better believe it. I have... er... hmm... ok, I thought I had some soup left, but nope... can of tomato paste and a can of mushrooms... I really need to get groceries...
Fuchsia Fox
So... yeah... they get to hear from me when I'm tired, hungry and cranky... Should be a fun call.
Fuchsia Fox
tronja307020
awww, I hate days like that! Being hungry and not having any food in the house is the worst!
Fuchsia Fox
I should have gone shopping yesterday, but the money didn't hit my account till today. Stupid check holds.
tronja307020
Yeaaaah. Money problems are a thing. ;m;
MooseChangerPat
I am in the same freaking boat today, except we had to drive all the way to Worcester which was really difficult when I was already sick, only to find that Denny's was closed because of carpet cleaning.
MooseChangerPat
So there was no way of possibly knowing they were going to be closed
MooseChangerPat
Tried going there 3 hours ago, waiting until 6 AM for a diner in town
Fuchsia Fox
Urg I hate it when places pull shit like this. They could at least have an answering machine that tells you this kind of stuff when you try and call.
Fuchsia Fox
I'm bitching out the web designers for mcD's while I'm at it... since the least they can do is make a note of whats a real 24hour place and what's a 24hour drive through.
MooseChangerPat
ikr?
MooseChangerPat
I'm still boycotting mcdonalds from when I was a kid and they wouldn't give me my happy meal toys I was supposed to get.
Fuchsia Fox
Good enough reason tbh. Honestly, I wouldn't have given two shits about this one if not for the fact that now I'm pissed. XD
Had there been anything else open with food, I wouldn't have even been there.
CricketMomJenn
Ugh. :\ Yeah, I'd complain if they have a damn pedestrian window. I'm fine with no seating inside at night. Security issue
Fuchsia Fox
Hmmm... whelp just got off the phone with the customer support.
They do have a walk up window, it's just not open this time of year. @@ But at the same time, I was sent coupons for free stuff
Fuchsia Fox
because I raised a valid point about the labeling of a place being called 24hours when only the drive through is open at some times.
Fuchsia Fox
The call rep said that they should really at least post seating area hours if they close that down for the night. Same with the walk up window hours and seasons.
Fuchsia Fox
So... it's good to know I'm not the only one annoyed by this... but geeze... more people need to call in to corporate/feedback call lines, because it does get results.
Fuchsia Fox
The rep even said that they wished more people called to give feedback on stuff like this, because they were kind of bored. lol
CricketMomJenn
Hahahaaa
CricketMomJenn
Yeah, people don't complain to where it counts or gets things done a lot
tronja307020
Well hey, there you go, productivity! :-D
