McDonald's

This was my first job when I migrated here in the US back in 2007.
So much has changed these past years.
I remember when they used to put me in the drive thru to take customers' order; it was really a remarkable experience.
Those were the days.
Anyway, it was nice to come back here once in a while.
I had breakfast with my little one, and I would say this branch is one of the cleanest I've been to.

McDonald's had just opened at 5:30 a.m.
when my husband and I stopped to get breakfast for the day.
We had been on the road all night and just got into the Salinas area (our destination), so we needed a short respite. The new order screens were up and working, but a very friendly young woman grabbed us and offered to take our order.
She was so pleasant, kind, and helpful, it made ordering easy and even fun. We sat down and talked only a few minutes when our order was ready.
It was fresh and hot and even smelled delicious.
Our orange juice was cold, and the meal was brought to us at our table. My only complaint is that McDonald's is still using single use straws--and customers aren't asked if they need or want a straw.
This practice is extremely wasteful and bad for the environment.
For this reason, I reduce their 5 star rating to 4.
I also noticed other types of plastics in use, here.
The plastic cup for orange juice that I use once, throw away, and it stays in land fills or flows out to the oceans.
So wasteful.
Come on, McDonald's, get with the program!

Sweet people that work here! One of the counter people remembered my friend enjoys cream in her coffee and was ready to bring it to her when she forgot 💕 Happy Mothers day ladies! 💐
