| - Yes, big shock, I know. I don't eat @ McDonald's or other fast food establishments. Usually if I did, it's because i was being cute using their free coupons or special promos (birthdays, anniversaries,...).
Yesterday around 1 PM, I decided to stop by since I was in the neighborhood to redeem their free coupons that I received in the (junk) mail, for free small fries and a fruit smoothie. I selected strawberry-flavored smoothie for a 'drink' to wash down the fries. I was served by cashier Daniel, who was very polite and timely, and he even thought it was cute that I had the free coupons ;) He accepted 2 separate coupons, and I was not charged sales tax so I didn't have to pull change out of my wallet. How courteous. I dined in, partly so I could take a photo in that setting for you Yelpers ;) I sat at a cool polished 'wood' counter with a comfy leather stool, cozily inside the one area that looked like it's for WifFi users (not sure if you could use a laptop at that very area as I didn't bring mine).
The fries were hot and tasty with not too much salt, and the smoothie had the right texture and wasn't too much like softened ice cream and wasn't too cold and did taste like strawberry. Oh, when I asked another server next to Daniel if there was a fork, she handed me fork & knife that were encased in factory-sealed plastic wrap. She also hinted that there were a straw and self-service ketchup at a station behind me. It was just fairly busy and the staff kept up with that pace as if they were properly trained for their positions. Even the rest of the people picking up or dining in were polite. As I was waiting for my order (for about 5 minutes, a woman came up to Daniel and mentioned something wrong with her hamburger (like missing the onions), he quickly accompanied her without treating her like an anal hassle. I also noticed that the establishment appeared to have been renovated, and it was clean and very modern, and the ambiance was casual and room temperature was at a comfortable level..
Overall, it was a professional service for that type of establishment, and I left pleased. It must've been a good day due to very cool weather :)
