If the bathroom is that dirty and out of control, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like.

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 sounds like Florida is fast becoming an overcrowded rat race.

Management needs to get on the ball fast. Used to be a favorite but no more

Interesting. I've been to said McDonald's 3 times in the past 10 days and never once ( or on visits prior) witnessed what you are describing. I've used both the drive thru and walked inside.

The unemployment rate is presently 3.4%. It was last this low in 1968, over 44 years ago.

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.

Well, it’s that time of year again. The number of businesses is set to handle the year-round population—not the temporary inundation of visitors. And, it’s hard to find employees who only want to work for a few months. It is what it is.

We need housing for young people, affordable housing! Not $300 a ft houses and apts that rent for $2500. These people need rents under $800-1000 since wages average $10-14 a hr for most jobs( less then that for many)

in this area? LOLOLOLOLOL not happening around here, the franchise owner which one owns tons of many locations doesn't give a crap because they have a captive audience called TV. I'm actually surprised everything isn't run that way here rather than the 75% that are.

What we noticed was if the manager was present good service, if not long waits.

Maybe someone is silently signaling to you that it is not a healthy place to eat. Time will tell.

Go next door to PDQ. Friendly fast service and juicy chicken tenders. McD’s is a zoo in comparison.

Much easier to stay at home and collect all the freebies from the government, than to work.

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.

Another fast-food place that's really sad to see is Steak and Shake.
Never seen one go down hill so fast in the last year after Covid 19.

I wonder how these places can afford to keep their doors open.
