Review:
When I entered this McDonald's restaurant, I was immediately amazed at how much it had changed since my days as a university student down the road. In those days (nearly ten years ago now), I used to frequent this fine dining establishment a lot. In fact, the money I provided them with in exchange for goods and services could very well have bought a new car. But I digress.
The layout of the store was new - there was an island for straws, napkins, bins and a tray recepticle behind the queueing area, the seating area had changed, and the entrance out to the kids' playground equipment was different. It was certainly very clean and had not a trace of the many pickles that I had witnessed being thrown on the ceiling (around the corner, out of view of the counter staff) back in my younger days.
The service was speedy and I reached the front of the queue in no time. The young girl who served me had an efficient air about her, and delivered my meal with a minimum of fuss.
My burger was fresh, well-cooked and correct to my specifications. The fries were hot and delicious. The Coke was cold and not over-filled with ice.
Afterwards, as I sat alone and read the paper / reflected on old times with friends gone by, my tray was collected by a smiling young female employee who was happy to clean the table around me as I sat. She was pleasant and respectful of my space and solitude.
I spent a good ten minutes watching people in the restaurant (I was in no particular hurry on the day), and enjoyed a leisurely walk back out to my car in the sunshine.
Life is good, I reflected. Then I drove home and had a pizza for dinner.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars, plus an extra star for the fond memories.
