The restaurant number is: 10120 in Pensacola at 7915 N. Davis Highway. I saved my receipt and filed a complaint yesterday at McDonald's website, but still haven't heard back from them. I hope they care. Somebody might die from E.coli food poisoning!
Take a look at the raw hamburger in the Quarter Pounder. I was eating while driving and didn't notice how raw it was until something seemed off to me. I took these photos on July 15, 2024 with my mobile phone of the raw Quarter Pound Cheeseburger I purchased at McDonald's...
McDonald's quality has gone to zero! Sadly, the best part of the meal was the Diet Coke.
When I felt how hard the bun was for the Fillet-O-Fish, I thought about this song, "Solid As A Rock," by Ashford & Simpson...
McDonald's Fillet-O-Fish Bun is As "Solid As A Rock"
I remember as a kid going to McDonald's with my parents in the 1970's. I loved their milkshakes back then. It was real ice-cream. Sadly, McDonald's changed their shake recipe about 25 years ago, which now taste like Styrofoam. You'll choke without some water to clear your throat. I loathe and hate McDonald's shakes today!!!
As a teenager, I worked at McDonald's for 17 months in 1983-1985. I did all the jobs (dish washer, dining room cleaning, grill cook, cash register). When I started I was paid $3.15 per hour minimum wage. By the time I gave my advance notice to resign, so I could go to Hyles-Anderson College, I was getting paid $3.60 an hour. That was the funnest job I ever had.
Then, and still today, every employee gets a free meal during your work shift. If you work more than 4 hours, you get a bigger free meal. My boss used to ask me to work overtime, and offer me all the food I could eat. He never had to ask me twice! My favorite sandwich back then was the Fillet-O-Fish, because back then they steamed the buns. You could press into the bun and it would cave in it was so soft. Those were awesome times! Today, you can use their buns as a door jam because they are so hard. Sadly, McDonald's got greedy and diminished their food quality.
I also miss the McDLT which they had when I worked there. The McDLT came in a partitioned Styrofoam container. All of McDonald's sandwiches in the 1980's were served in Styrofoam containers back then, which kept your food piping-hot. Today, McDonald's uses cheap recycled cardboard, which makes the food taste like recycled cardboard. Yuk!
McDonald's had something special in the 1960's and into the 1980's, but they went downhill quickly starting in the 1990's. They never should have changed their milkshake formula. Nor should they have stopped steaming their Fillet-O-Fish buns, which was classy when they did.
And McDonald's for the longest time have had a serious problem with over-cooking and over-salting their fries. I'm at the place where I don't even want to go to McDonald's anymore, because their prices have skyrocketed into the stratosphere, but their food quality is in the toilet, literally. Eating raw hamburger will make customers sick!
I used to have a valid Food manager's License, when I voluntarily helped my father operate his Rescue Mission to feed the poor on Chicago's' drug and gang infested Westside. By law it was required to have a license to handle food, so you wouldn't make people sick or worse. I learned in Food manager's classes that beef must be heated to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit. Chicken must be heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. This is to prevent Food Borne Illnesses like E.coli and Staphylococcus (from people not washing their hands after using the restroom).
It is really tragic what I see happening in America today. Across the board—whether it be churches, Bible colleges, restaurants, car rental agencies, corporate America, sports, federal government, courts, city governance, you name it—people just don't care anymore like they used to. Companies today don't even hesitate to take advantage of to cheat people financially.
Case in point: I recently made some reservations in early July 2024, to travel in mid-August 2024. I rented a car for 4-days from Alamo car rental. I had been given incorrect information about the event I was planning on attending and needed to cancel my reservations just 36 hours after making them. Alamo refused to refund a single penny of my $635, even though the pickup date for the rental for still 5-weeks into the future, and I had cancelled just 36 hours later. Those rotten ungodly thieves are so greedy that they wouldn't refund a dime of my money. Dear reader, only a wicked person (or group of people in a company) mistreat others in such a horrible selfish evil manner! Those greedy sharks at Alamo stole my $635!!!
I could give you hundreds more shameful examples of how bad things have become today in the United States. You cannot drive anywhere in the city of Pensacola, without seeing shameful attorney billboards encouraging Americans to sue each other for money. What have we horribly deteriorated into as a society? What ever happened to The Golden Rule. Matthew 7:12, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Would you want someone to sue you? Those ungodly greedy lawyers aren't your friends; they are parasites who take advantage of people at the lowest point in their life for filthy lucre's sake. I detest lawyers! Jesus couldn't stand them either! Luke 11:46, “And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.” Some things never change, even after thousands of years.
My attitude as a born-again Christian is that of the man of God, Joshua. Joshua 24:15, “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” By God's grace, I am going to follow The Golden Rule. I am going to treat others the way I would like to be treated, with kindness, gentleness, respect and fairness.
I don't want blood on my hands like Alamo car rental (Proverbs 6:16-19), who go around screwing people out of their hard-earned money, hiding behind a bunch of ungodly shady fineprint fabricated by ungodly shady attorneys. Corporate America is of the Devil today. If you read the vast majority of legal contracts that you're required to sign to do business (which you need to do to survive in today's American culture), it is always written with extreme bias to benefit the company at the consumer's expense. If you ever have taken the time to read an insurance company policy, they have intentionally disqualified 99% of the reasons for which people would need to file a claim.
For example: If you purchase homeowner's insurance, beware! Most people living in a hurricane zone (or typhoon zone in the east), falsely think they are insured. But if you carefully read your insurance policy, the company WON'T PAY for any damage caused by wind or flying debris from the wind. They are thieves! They want to keep your insurance premiums without honoring your claim when it comes time.
That is why I absolutely refuse to change my Medicare medical insurance away from parts A and B. You've probably seen the thousands of annoying television commercials begging for people to call some stupid phone number to talk to an agent. I checked into it. What it's all about is that PRIVATE insurance companies want your Medicare money from Uncle Sam. If you have parts A and B, Uncle Sam pays directly for your medical bills. But if you leave parts A and B, to go to a private insurance company instead, now THE PRIVATE INSURER HAS TO PAY (but since they don't want to pay, they're going to deny many of your claims).
Last summer I needed to go to the Emergency Room. I was in severe pain in my right flank for some unknown reason. The hospital charged Medicare $16,758. Just the CT Scan (with red die used for contrast) cost $12,000. When all the bills were finalized, it didn't cost me a single penny. Praise God! If I had switched my Medicare to one of those greedy private insurance companies, I likely would have been billed for thousands of dollars! Once the private insurance company gets your Medicare payments from the government, they will receive a certain guaranteed amount of money each month, regardless of how many of your bills (claims) they choose to pay or deny. You know as well as I do, that they are going to try every way possible not to pay. Uncle Sam has never done that to me, they have always honored the claims. My humble non-professional opinion is to stay with parts A and B, and don't change anything.
Anyway, I am on a rant...lol. I am so sick and tired of shady Americans in the business world, who cheat and take advantage of others for their own selfish greed. I would NEVER work for a company that cheats and defrauds people in any way. I'd rather be homeless than assist an ungodly shady company that hurts innocent people just because they can. Welcome to the rotten United States!!!
Furthermore, unless you are a competent lawyer, you won't be able to understand most of what you read in any legal contract, and the companies know that. Yet, they will hide behind their ungodly shady fineprint to screw you financially. They all do it!
Getting back to McDonald's, I am utterly disgusted with fast food places today. It's not just McDonald's. Arby's fries are always cold. Same thing with KFC. You'd think that in 2024, in these modern and amazing times of technology, that food companies would have figured out a way to make sure you are provided HOT and FRESH food. I mean, if nothing else, for goodness' sake, microwave the French fries before handing them to me cold. Those businesses and their bad managers simply don't care. I haven't been to Arby's in several months. I am tired of cold food, bad service and high prices. I foresee many U.S. fast food businesses closing down in the years to come. IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING!!!
Sadly, I don't think I'll be going to McDonald's for a very long time!!!
