Pros:

  • "So slow, used to be quick and easy, I don't dare go inside now as the delivery peps take priority, meaning for a simple drink or single burger you are waiting 20+ minutes."
  • "28 minutes to be served in the restaurant."
  • "Unusually long wait for macdonalds. It wasn't busy, just understaffed."
