this is the best mcdonald's location EVER!!!! the service was spectacular and the employees were the nicest most hard working individuals. the young mysterious brown haired guy at the front counter was spiffy and deserves a raise. bathrooms were SPOTLESS. drive thru was ok. not my favorite.

~Journal Entry, Friday, February 23rd, the Year is 2024 I was surprised today @ around 1400 hours , when I went to snap some photographs while in-store retrieving my small order, I realized that I had not crafted an unbiased review for this McDonalds locale... My beloved Mother, Dar T., openly has shared with the world that McDonalds is her favorite place to dine; in the world; no matter what.... After living with her & our animal babies for the past 6 years, she's kept to her love & loyalty of the McDonalds Restaurant Chain.... I took a few photographs & uploaded them to this review. There's more than one photograph, of the Hot Caramel Sundae WITH EXTRA Hot Caramel in it, because, I'm performing a legal "experiment" to compare & determine if the "extra Caramel Topping" is the same at each McDonalds Restaurant, because the day before yesterday, Momma & I while running errands in Modesto, California, stopped off & I treated her to her favorite dessert here, Hot Fudge/Chocolate Sundae & I, a Caramel... The area that sparked this small part-time experiment is that I ended up paying yesterday, over/almost $10.00 USD (United States Dollars) if not more for one soda & 2 ice cream sundaes.... The area that I'm perplexed about is that, the sundae cups have definitely SHRUNK A TON. In all seriousness the cups the sundae come in are tiny & about 2/3 SMALLER than they used to be yet the price skyrocketed, from under $3 to over $5 depending what market/McDonald's your frequenting... I've been eating McDonalds food & Frequenting their restaurants since I was a wee-small kid & so much has changed for the worst over time & so much has changed for the better with time... An example, is that my other favorite item here is their Decadent, Strawberry (this is relevant to the above situation I'm describing) Milkshake's, size has plummeted to a small/medium size why they raised the price on it as well; therefore, I no longer partake in purchasing them; just like I usually refuse to purchase the caramel sundae I mentioned earlier. While looking on Google just now, for a price on the Strawberry Milkshake which I didn't locate, I stumbled upon a very SMALL article written & published by USA TODAY. Verifying this information, returned the following information: "Amid backlash over $18 Big Mac meals, McDonald's will focus on affordability in 2024, CEO says" Published by USA TODAY & Written by Gabe Hauari, USA TODAY on February 6th, 2024... What I found interesting in this tiny article on McDonalds & their Pricing Dilemma is pasted here from the same article cited above: "The CEO of McDonald's told analysts on an earnings call the restaurant chain will focus on affordability this year after the company took some heat for price increases that have not gone unnoticed by customers." "I think what you're going to see as you head into 2024 is probably more attention to what I would describe as affordability," CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the earnings call Monday." "The company has taken criticism for jacking up menu prices that have turned off some customers. The New York Post reported in July that a McDonald's at a Connecticut rest stop was charging $18 for a Big Mac combo meal." https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2024/02/06/mcdonalds-will-focus-on-affordability-2024/72490417007/ After spontaneously, locating this informative & useful article on McDonald's & their "RE=ORGANIZING" from what it appears (but isn't stated clearly), not only within this article but as a consumer spending their resources, it appears to me that McDonalds may be experiencing some fears dare I say; concerns, about keeping their doors open... An idea, or 3 or so to McDonald's as I rely on them for weekly fountain sodas as does my beloved McDonald's loyal Mom: 1. Maybe save some money on Employee Uniforms & make things simpler by seeing if Walmart does or could, provide you with your choice of T-shirt with or w/o Embroidery & the same goes for their pants they each wear. Maybe offer long at least to the knee or just below the knee or lower; comfortable professionally fitting skirts for men & women; it's not a gender thing its a clothing fitting properly thing... A ton of money maybe, could be saved doing this as most employees I encounter have rich & tailored outfits on, except their shoes. Maybe you've already have this area of frugalness covered so it's just the thoughts, of one who spends time in different McDonalds weekly with my Momma and without but mostly with, as she loves eating there more than once each week; for each month.... She's expressed frustration & disgust with how much your prices have increased WHILE CHANGING THE ORIGINAL SIZE of each item for sale, to embarrassingly tiny sizes even for a child when the order is for an adult... https://www.hatchwise.com/resources/the-complete-history-of-the-taco-bell-logo
