2/5 Colin B. 1 year ago on Google
It
was
around
9pm,
we'd
seen
fresh
burgers
being
made
on
TV,
so
got
the
urge
to
eat
one.
We
were
staying
in
the
centre
of
Swansea,
so
Oxford
St.
seemed
the
obvious
place
to
go.
1st
impressions
are
important,
so
the
unsightly
litter
near
the
Castle
Square,
McDonalds
wrapping
and
food
remnants
being
most
prevalent,
wasn't
great.
Then
we
encountered
two
apparently
'homeless'
people,
sat
cross-legged
in
the
entrance,
seemingly
enjoying
a
box
of
something
from
McDonald's,
I
always
feel
a
little
awkward
in
these
situations,
I
wouldn't
want
to
have
to
be
like
that,
but
I
don't
carry
cash
and
begging
is
actually
against
legislation,
isn't
it.
Why
not
put
benches
along
the
wall,
at
least
they
could
be
off
the
ground?
Once
inside,
the
staff
were
busy
servicing
the
many
delivery
riders
and
drivers
orders,
once
again
there
was
litter
and
mess
everywhere.
No
tables
were
clean,
so
we
opted
for
the
very
uncomfortable
stools
and
bar
set-up.
Our
order
was
simple
value
hamburger,
value
chicken
burger
and
a
couple
of
regular
drinks
just
under
£5.00
the
lot,
quite
reasonable
I
thought!
It
took
longer
than
expected,
due
to
the
many
large
deliver
orders
I
imagined,
no
problem
though
the
staff
were
non-stop,
the
manager
too,
certainly
not
a
shirker!
Our
order
number
was
eventually
called,
we
got
to
our
"seat"
and
opened
up
the
wrapping,
then
took
a
1st
bite.
Imagine
my
disappointment
to
discover
the
almost
total
lack
of
onions,
check
the
picture,
can't
be
more
the
half
a
dozen
fragments.
I
suppose
that
when
I
modified
the
order
to
'remove
pickles',
I
should
have
realised
that
most
of
the
onions
were
on
top
of
them!
I
pressed
on,
but
now
I'm
looking
for
deficiencies,
it
wasn't
difficult
to
identify
them!
The
bread
at
McDonald's
has
always
been
decent
quality,
not
this
time
it
was
very
dry
and
broke
up
easily,
when
holding
the
bun
to
eat
it.
It
can't
be
difficult
to
keep
fresh
bread
to
hand,
not
in
a
place
like
this?
Then
there
was
the
beef
patty,
I
know
things
are
expensive
now,
prices
have
to
go
up,
or
portions
have
to
reduce,
but
BOTH!
We
left,
very
disappointed,
I've
never
been
a
big
fan
of
McDonald's,
but
always
managed
to
enjoy
what
I
chose
('Wimpy'
was
always
my
favourite),
but
I
have
had
some
pretty
poor
experiences
at
McDonald's
recently,
it
won't
take
much
more
to
say
enough
is
enough
and
take
the
kids
and
grandkids
elsewhere,
after
all,
food
is
expensive
now
it
should
be
better
presented
than
this!
