There are times when a quality fast food restaurant is just what is needed. And an excellent location to start one would be where the McDonalds in Colony Plaza is located. There is even a place for a drive through - all one would have to do is make it operational. I arrived right around 5:00pm. No line in the Drive Thru. But I did not realize that I could sit there forever and no one would take my order. The woman with the head-set on seemed quite shocked when I drove by and asked her why she had not taken my order - or I may have woke her up. She seemed a little drugged up.
So, not to be discouraged I went inside to do a take out order. Very short wait in line. Not that many people there. I had plenty of time to observe while waiting for my order. There were actually more people in the kitchen then there were customers and yet there we stood while they got in each others way throwing sandwiches around ! Remember when McD's had the best fries (not here). It also would have been nice if the cheese on my 1/4 LB'r had actually been centered on the meat. Oh well obviously no more. Let's free up the space for someone who cares !!!!

Strange situation at that McDonald's. I've been there a number of times and found them to be very efficient. If your situation happen to me , I too would wonder "what's happening.". If I wasn't in a real hurry, I would speak to the manager. If I was, I would make it a point to speak to her/him as soon as possible with the date and time of this incident. A good manager would like to know about this mis-step of her/his employees and see that it does not happen again.

A couple of things I've observed at this particular store. IF one goes through the drive-through in a golf-cart sometimes it won't trip their "eye" to let them know you're there. Not sure why!

The other thing is I don't believe whomever built it had a concept how busy it would be! Have you ever been there during lunch-time? Hard to determine which is the order line (this is inside) and whose waiting for their order. Gets a bit crowded! During "high season"...I've observed vehicles streaming out onto the street just waiting to get into the lot--not sure if for the drive thru or just to park. Workers park their trucks in that vacant lot!

You are a daring soul. Didn't you know that craving a Big Mac was illegal in this neck of the woods????

A White Castle would be nice. Or, a Burger King. Or, how about a KFC.....?

jblum: In all due respect a quality fast food restaurant is called Culver's in the Midwest. If people here ate at a culver's they be throwing stones at McDonald's

The OP asks if anyone remembers when McDonalds fries were the best.

That was many, many years ago when the fries were fried in beef fat!

There is a restaurant in Portland, Maine, called Duckfat. They cook their fries in duck fat. Now, that is a delicious French Fry!

You've hit it re: Culver's!!! "IF" you google them---they are now in FL but one has to drive a distance for them! They're edging down to the south. They are in more than just the Midwest...just not here....YET!!! We would never darken the door of McD's, Burger King and others "IF" we had a Culver's here!!

White Castle? We used to call those "gut bombs". Had to eat about ten of them to make a meal.
