McDonald's,

4514 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94609

"I give this McDonald's 1 star mainly due to the lack of accountability from ownership. I've never once gone in here and seen there be enough workers at once for what is needed. Between the flow of High Schoolers and homeless people, the staff are left to deal with it all on their own. On RARE occasion I've seen somebody come out from some back office just to be as unhelpful as everybody else. I'm guessing that is a manager and not the owner. While I do not care about whether or not staff speak English either, it seems clear to me that the owner exclusively employs people who speak primarily spanish and little English. While I've never had issues I've seen minutes long interactions with other customers and workers where it could've been solved had there not been a language barrier. And I mean I've been here multiple times and there is one employee who works consistently and speaks English well enough to interact with customers and not have issues but truly I feel bad for the workers more than anything. The workers are clearly trying their best and have to deal with things outside of their control. I can't imagine doing an already stressful job while also having to deal with potentially hostile clientele speaking in your non native language. I respect them for trying and working hard but clearly the owner is not setting the workers up for success."

"Get my coffee every morning from Maria in the drive thru! Wonderful service from all. Less a star cuz they raised the prices and sometimes there's beggars in the drive thru. Otherwise, nice McDs. Not anymore! You've raised prices too much and I no longer go there at all..."

"Staff was great. Friendly, efficient and cordial. As fast as I get to my fries, they always turn powdery in a short amount of time. I ordered a large fries, which I weighed out 0.15 kg because I have a sense of shrinkage from what I remember them to be. While they are hot, they are great. Small amount of concern was that there was a homeless man hanging out by the drive thru voice box one night. He didn't harass anyone."

"The best double quarter pounder I have ever had. This place has the best night crew"

"Friendly staff. Nice and clean restaurant. Ordering was easy on one of their self serve kiosks. Ordered to table however they didn’t deliver to my table. Picked up my order at the counter when it was called out. Reasonable wait time for food. Food tasted wine. I was their only customer as they for some reason locked their doors so nobody else could come in. Wi-Fi worked well."
