Third time this week drive in line around the place, over a dozen orders waiting to be filled, inside packed with people waiting, urinal overflowing with no hand soap. Not even peak hours
Management needs to get on the ball fast. Used to be a favorite but no more

I get the impression that fast food restaurants want customers to use the drive through window, and not come into the store.

Yes but the people waiting in the pickup spots go inside to see if they are actually going to get food. One day at 4 pm, not busy, it took 14 minutes to get a burger. This place used to run like clockwork

Simply put- It ain't the local manager. They are happy for those that showed up for work that day. Those that do show up have to listen to folks like me complain about no napkins or the drink machines don't work. Others can go down the rabbit hole to tell us why, but for me I know why. Until we see higher unemployment rates, it will not change. But, what do I know.

The new McDonalds at Magnolia has only one inside cash register and a very small waiting area. I think you're correct in their wanting all drive through business. They need more competition as there are a ton of people living here and a heavier ton of workers all looking for quick service.

I go to Culver’s, good food and clean. Only problem is they never charge the same price. It’s different almost every time.

In the past, McDonald's had one of the best quality control programs in the business. I understand that they would continuously monitor the number of employees working and sales income per hour at every restaurant. If a franchise did not have sufficient sales to justify the number of employees, the franchise owner would get a call from corporate. Also, if a franchise was not profitable, corporate would buy back the franchise in accordance with the franchise contract. They would never allow a restaurant to close.

This McDonald’s in Texas is the first with a fully automated drive-through and less employees. The semiautomated McDonald’s is only a test location at this point, the company said, and is part of McDonald’s “Accelerating the Arches” growth strategy.

There is no correlation. Employees are doing everything the can to keep up with the food going out, that is the priority. Would you prefer they say your food going to be a couple of minutes, we are cleaning the bathroom? I agree in a perfect world both should be perfect but we all know we are not living in a perfect world.

I be to differ - went through the Taco Bell drive out this week - rude girl at window was texting on her cell phone for several minutes before tossing the bag of food at me without uttering a word and a look of anger on her face.

It will be ok. Once the World Economic Forum 2023 agenda reaches T V we will no longer have to deal with lousy humans taking 14 min to get you a burger. Robots will fling a mealworm burger right at you. You think I'm kidding, read the WEF website. Who needs all the humans getting in the way of our T times. The future is now.

It has been a gradual decline! This is one of the few food service locations the I have ever made complaints. Even sent communications to McDonald's corporate about the food being served not being fresh. Have gotten apologies back from the district manager and coupons but have not seen any change. I started avoiding this location. Every once in a while I go back to check if things are better but no change. I like McDonald's but this location is not up to franchise standards in my estimation.

The unemployment rate may be 3.4%, usually a fake number, but you need to look at the workforce participation rate which is around 63%. In other words, people who could and should be working aren’t. Not sure how they are paying for gas and food that has gone up in the last couple of years! Until that is addressed nothing will change.

In certain locales they can’t. Locations that aren’t near the source of part time workers like high school students have difficulty in attracting workers. Specific to this location a high school student would need a car to drive from the high school to Colony. No transportation, no workers. The other issue is the minimum wage requirements. Fast food franchises are the hardest hit economically and when in some areas the minimum is $17.00 per hour, they will either reduce staff or automate, or close.

The U-6 unemployment number of 6.6%, instead of the U-3 number of 3.4%, may be a better number to look at since it essentially includes people who want to be working.

Also, if a franchise was not profitable, corporate would buy back the franchise in accordance with the franchise contract. They would never allow a restaurant to close.
Oh, I'm sure that corporate still has plenty of ways to keep tabs on sales per hour, number of employees working, etc. The problem is that it has all become completely a numbers game. Back in the day if you worked in fast food/retail you would have some opportunities to slack off a bit during the slow times and joke around with your coworkers. Nowadays if you have a slow day - watch out - because that will be an excuse to cut the number of workers on any given shift down to the bare bones.
People aren't machines. And when a good multi tasking employee quits, it can take a restaurant a while to recover. What had once been controlled chaos becomes complete chaos. It doesn't mean that the employees and managers aren't busting their tails and doing the best that they can.
Flipping burgers ain't the same job that it used to be.

Do you mean higher EMPLOYMENT rates? Higher Unemployment rates will only cause more folks to stay out of work! My son manages a country club out of state. To keep servers, he raised their per hour rate and gives them benefits like health insurance. But can every fast food restaurant afford to do that without increasing the cost of product?

You never know what is "clean" and what isn't ! Ever seen employees to who walk out of restroom and NOT wash hands ? Place does not matter, they all hire people to whom personal hygiene and country health rules mean nothing. Don't know what others have noticed, but came from a state where the health laws, local and state, were MUCH tougher than Florida's. Don't think it's going to improve in the near future if the desperation for employees continues ! ?

I usually just get breakfast items at McDonalds. Last time at Colony it was fast. Perhaps Colony has become inefficient because the new Mcd on powell and 44 is owned by the people. Maybe thay transferred some employees from colony to the new store.

How abvout that nifty brain wave reader they held a class and presentation on at the WEF. So great and exciting. The overseer can see the brainwaves and interpretation of said waves for each employee. The program will let you know if the employee is concentrating on the work, or daydreaming, or having romantic thoughts/fantasies of other employees. Isn't that great. And the employees will benefit too. For nthis tiny intrusion, the company can give a hundred bonus each month to the employee who spent the most time concentrating on their job. Win Win. Allo we have to do is be willing to allow others to have access to our mind.

If you think McD's is bad, go to a Burger King. They are worse. In these days, would hate to be a manager. They probably spend 50% of their time hiring and training employees. To make matters worse, bet there is a lower % of people in the TV area who do want to work at places like this. Not a lot of high schoolers/young adults in the TV area.

No, they meant higher. Higher unemployment rates means more people who are unemployed. In the state of Florida, it means more people getting $275 per week maximum, for only 12 weeks maximum. If they've only been earning $200/week at their part time job and became unemployed, they'll be getting only around $120/week unemployment for those 12 weeks. If they haven't worked a full year before becoming unemployed, they might be getting no unemployment at all.
That's a lot of hungry unemployed people who aren't able to make ends meet, and more desperate to work. That means they are more likely to prove they're worth hiring - and keeping.
A high unemployment rate means it's an employer's market. A low unemployment rate means it's an employee's market.

IMO. Immigrants, especially illegals are the problem, NOT the solution. There are retired senior citizens that have SERVED in the Armed Forces that DESERVE much more to work than ILLEGALS that have unlawfully broken through our borders. In TV Land we have many good retired lifetime US citizens that work at ACE Hardware, Lowes, and Home Depot - they make GREAT employees. If the fast food chains are NOT hiring senior citizens here, then maybe the food chains are doing something wrong......like maybe not paying enough.
........The Village residents should SUPPORT senior citizens NOT IMMIGRANTS and definitely NOT illegal ones. That's just WRONG !!!!!!!!

In TV Land we have many good retired lifetime US citizens that work at ACE Hardware, Lowes, and Home Depot - they make GREAT employees. If the fast food chains are NOT hiring senior citizens here, then maybe the food chains are doing something wrong......like maybe not paying enough.
........The Village residents should SUPPORT senior citizens NOT IMMIGRANTS and definitely NOT illegal ones. That's just WRONG !!!!!!!!
So your family never trace back to immigrants?

How abvout that nifty brain wave reader they held a class and presentation on at the WEF. So great and exciting. The overseer can see the brainwaves and interpretation of said waves for each employee. The program will let you know if the employee is concentrating on the work, or daydreaming, or having romantic thoughts/fantasies of other employees. Isn't that great. And the employees will benefit too. For nthis tiny intrusion, the company can give a hundred bonus each month to the employee who spent the most time concentrating on their job. Win Win. Allo we have to do is be willing to allow others to have access to our mind.
Good post!

As a Veteran, then retiree there is no way I would go back in time to work for PEANUTS, receive no paid vacation or paid holidays and no benefits.
I agree! They need to raise the wages for fast food employees. Thus, getting better people, and maybe some are seniors that either NEED money or are bored at home and like to work.

That statement strikes me as not logical and ridiculous. When my GREAT grandfather came over on the boat, the west had a frontier and the industrial revolution was starting and he had needed industrial SKILLS. And the population of the US was about 70 million and most lived on FARMS.
.......We HAVE nowhere NEAR THOSE CONDITIONS TODAY. We have NO FRONTIER, low unemployment, and A.I. and robotics are on the cusp of BIG social changes LIKE producing up to 30% unemployment.
........Today is a TERRIBLE time to bring in LEGAL immigrants and NEVER is the RIGHT TIME to allow ILLEGALS to breech our BORDERS. A country that can't DEFEND its BORDERS is NOT EVEN a real country. I could throw UP over what I see going on in the US today with respect to ILLEGALS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop paying people not to work. Stop financial reward for having children. Illegals don't want to work, they want free stuff.

Yes, no financial reward for having children - never allow more than 2 exemptions for children on the form 1040.

There are 11 million jobs available in this country, a lot of them good high paying jobs that no one wants to fill yet there are hundreds of thousands collecting unemployment???? I am a late senior and McDonalds is the last place I would want to work and most of us couldn't keep up with the pace and would not last long.

If the bathroom is that dirty and out of control, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like.
Bathrooms in eating facilities are always my "marker" for whether I feel comfortable enough to put their food in my body.

That’s why I only dine at restaurants that have at least a 2 Michelin Star bathroom rating.
