I stopped in at the Academy & San Miguel McDonalds location this morning with my kids, to find the Manager pulling up basically every last drive through car, something most easily recognize as an effort to pad drive through times (making it seem as if it took way less time to serve each order than it actually takes them).
Worse, we sit there after having the order taken and being pulled up, until I realize we honestly could have ordered from a sit down place faster, (and later actually did, getting Waffle House to go faster).
So I go in, and the manager just has this casual 'I don't give a shit about anything' look already, while he sweeps.
Worse, he isn't cleaning a particular mess, he's just casually sweeping the floor like everything is 'fiiine'.
I'm thinking:
I been sitting out there all this time, and you're in here sweeping? You aren't even helping make the backed up orders, and you got this crew lying about their drive through times!?
He catches my eye as I stare somewhat in disbelief. His staff are busting tail trying to keep up, they seem to be working to recall orders they've already cleared from the lineup, because the ship is running dishonestly.
He asked how I'm doing today, and I respond, "I'm apparently padding your drive through times today, that's how I'm doing."
I didn't say; It's plainly obvious after all, and I'm outside waiting, and you're doing the grunt work of a minimum wager instead of driving your sinking ship.
Priorities right?
I'm so disgusted, I just look at him and say, 'You know, I'd like my money back.'
Mgr - "No."
Me - "Excuse me?"
Mgr - "I'm not even authorized anyway."
He's grinning.
Me - "So you can't produce my food and you refuse to give me a refund? You're a f-ing thief then."
Mgr repeats - "I'm not giving you refund and I'm not authorized anyways."
He's still smiling, and this war veteran is struggling not to yank the arrogant thief over the counter and take my money back.
Me almost laughing, "You're going to rob me over the cost of 3 biscuits? Keep the fucking money you thief. Wow."
I filed a formal complaint standing in the parking lot while the manager called the cops.
So help me if this dude still has a job with McDonalds after this I'll never spend another dollar with McDonalds and I hope the cost of three biscuits I never got was worth it.
(UPDATE: Tuesday April 3rd.)
Got an email from McDonalds asking for "immediate response". They wanted to know how they handled the follow up.
They handled it by not doing one, at all. I got no response, no call, nothing after a manger tries to rob me, but THEY wanted an immediate response?
Seriously? Scumbags.

I did talk to chain of supervisors, apparently the story made it pretty far up, I got offered free stuff by everyone, I didn't and still don't want it. I DO WANT..... a serious review of this store's manager and policy application.
