    I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent experience at the McDonald's drive-thru at the Observatory branch, which occurred on last night (01/10/2023) at approximately 20:05. I believe it is essential to bring this matter to your attention in the hopes of improving customer service at your establishment. During my visit, I encountered an issue related to the McDonald's mobile app and the QR code it generates for the points/deals (As it was my first time using it). I had intended to use the app for the in-app deals and to receive my points, but when I approached the drive-thru window and mentioned this to the lady named Neliswa Nkampule, who was assisting me, I was met with a distinctly unhelpful and unpleasant attitude. The employee's demeanor was clearly dismissive, and her responses indicated that she was unwilling to assist me with the app or explain how to proceed. Her tone was impolite, and I felt as though I was an inconvenience to her. I was taken aback by this experience, as I have always appreciated the convenience and service provided by McDonald's in the past. As a loyal customer of McDonald's for many years, I believe that customer service is of paramount importance in maintaining the reputation and success of your brand. In this instance, I felt disheartened by the lack of courtesy and assistance displayed by the employee, which marred my overall dining experience.

    We have used the drive through every so often and it's almost always been a bad experience. I once asked for sweet and sour sauce with my nuggets and they said they are out. I then asked for a different sauce. When I got my nuggets, they got the sauce wrong and even gave sweet and sour sauce. It just shows that the employees don't know what is going on. They are also often rude when we ask questions. Other times, they make you wait in the parking lot for your food and constantly bring the wrong order. Once we waited 20 minutes in the parking lot where people that were behind us were getting their order. We went to the counter then where no one helped us for minutes. It was very awkward as we needed to shout over the noise to get someone to help us. Waiting in the parking lot also feels unsafe as beggers harass you sometimes. This is uncomfortable as a female student.

    Not a big fast food fan but definitely one of the better McDonald's I have been to. Fully functional during loadshedding too. Coffee was great (latte) & service was very efficient with an added smile. Would definitely recommend this particular store over many others.

    Both my daughters studied at Med School at Groote Schuur Hospital which meant that I was for 6,5 years in this area. McDonald’s was my go-to for a quick meal. This drive-thru is fast and effective and the staff are very friendly. I personally have no complaints about them👌

    Disappointed in McDonalds passing off ice cream with oreo crumbs as a R35.90 McFlurry. I think the cone is much more value for money. Will definitely not be getting this again.

    Obz McD is the worst when is comes to service, they are so unprofessional, there is so much disorder and noise. It's been about 3years getting such a service, thinking that it will improves but they don't improve. My favourite McD is the one in Hasendal Kuilsriver, the staff is always professional, friendly and kind. Managers are the same.

    So my girl friend and I just arrive at the observatory Mc Donald's expecting to walk in order our food and then head home. But the door was locked but there was a clear indication that there are people inside. So I asked one of the staff members why is the door locked. With out even a real explanation I get told not the inside is closed. So we decide fine we'll use the drive thru. The very same staff members I spoke with is taking orders ,so when it came our turn. We try order but are cut short as this staff member states certain items on the menu are not available. Strange how what we want to order they didnt have available. MC DONALDS SORT OUT THESE PROBLEM BRANCHES THEY ARE KILLING THE COMPANY NAME
