I realize that folks don't come to Yelp for McDonalds. But there are differences that vary between locations due to management decisions. And I wanted to shame this location for not honoring the "any soda for a dollar" promotion. They tried to say that to get a large soda with a value meal I had to pay an extra $1 and upgrade the fries, even though I didn't want the extra fries and all sodas are the same price. Other locations in Mesa & Gilbert do not require this. It is absurd to try and exempt themselves from a state wide promotion. Stay away and go to any of the other dozen McDonald's in Mesa.
