Rant about McDonalds 'Drive Thru' in Blanchardstown

irishfeller

Has anyone been to the McDonalds Drive Thru in Blanchardstown near the shoppin centre. I have been there a few times in the last year and every time it is the same story :-

- you drive to the first window and make your order
- drive to the second window where you pay
- and then you drive to the third window where they give you your drink AND THEN THEY ASK YOU TO PARK IN THE CARPARK AND THEY WILL BRING YOUR FOOD OUT SHORTLY!!!

Is it me or is the idea of a drive thru that u order your food and get it straight away - I have never heard of any other drive thru where they make you park and wait for the food! Its very Irish! One time I was parked for over 10 minutes before they brought the food out.

And when they ask you to park you can't complain in case they spit in the burger or somethin...

connundrum

Moral of story - Don't go to McDonalds in Blanch.

Or don't go to McDonalds at all.

Or walk to your local supermarket, but some chicken fillets and fresh veg and make your own meal in 20 mins.

Or not.

Same happens to me if I order a Quarter-pounder without cheese,

They arent made regularly, so you have to wait 5-10 minutes for them.:mad:

That drive thru vid is excellent. It all hinges on the person at the first window not copping onto it though.

Oh and I agree about the special orders in Maccy D's being absolute **** to get hold of. I usually order a big mac with just lettuce and cheese (Cause I hate the other **** they put on it) and it takes ages or else they forget or else I just get a normal one.

Course it might help if they actually hired (a) Irish People or at least if (b) their workers had a decent comprehension of the english language or if (c) some of them could actually speak english.

Thats a debate for another day though.

I don't get that video, last time I was at a Drive-Tru you'd pay at the same window you'd get your food from?!

Great vid - don't try it in Blanchardstown tho! They might cop on when 2 cars are sittin in the carpark waitin for the same food!


The McDs in Blanch is out east of the centre - that KFC is still there.

The fast food place beside "West" is a KFC, but West hasn't been known as that in many years!

The McDonalds drive through is along the same road, past the library and leisureplex and on the left next to Xtravision and what was the Budabar. There is a McDonalds at the blue entrance to the centre as well.

Drive up, go "oops drove in here by accident, I don't want anything" drive on slowly up to 2nd window, take the food. High tail it outta there to Mexico. It basically hinges on the person in the first window not copping your trick.

Where was that then? Any Drive Tru I've ever seen involves 3 stops. 1st order, 2nd pay, 3rd collect food. In the scam you simply don't order, don't pay, just collect.

They should make a drive-through Subway... I once got a meatball sub from there, and it was delicious. I would like another.

You forgot to mention: They usually get the order wrong.

I think this has to do with the fact that recently both micky d's and B king have been cooking the food when you order, rather then constantly having everything cooked and waiting to go on the hot tray.

Any form of Subway would be nice! I've heard there is one starting in Blanch soon.

This happens at McD's all over the land, not just over there. Same thing happened to me in the Westside.

Just go inside next time.

Or better yet, bring a sandwich with you. Last time I ate in the McDonalds in westside I was walking funny for days afterwards.

Yeah I was behind a guy who was told to go park his car and wait and when I got to the window I was handed his order of about 5 big macs... I was about half a mile away when realised... I wouldn't mind if I actually liked Big Macs but I hate them.. So I went back for my McChicken Sambo meal.. And gave out :cool:
