They gloat about getting management to turn the phone off to avoid extra work and refuse to open lobby no matter how dead the night is with a full night staff so so many times. I've watched awesome people come here transferred from out of town as management for night shifts and they quit McDonalds altogether when they come here because of how pathetic the staffers they have to deal with are. this is a place where some unhappy older folks and a bunch of cooky women have forced themselves on everyone with no idea about how to work with others rather then being broken off to go learn from life

Ever get the feeling you're just not wanted in a place? I think everyone who walked into here during my visit felt that, including me. I get that it can be a bit of a rough part of town but suspicious hostility is just not a good way to run any business even a McDonald's. Closing most of the dining are via "caution" signs is fine but placing them to block of the bathrooms is just sorta rude.

We asked for our egg mcmuffins to be double toasted ,like we always do, we were told no, then told.that they would catch on fire . Wth?? One toasting only warms up the buns , double toaste makes them toasted. Ridiculous excuses and poor service.

September 30, 2024

No prices on the website! Poor business practices! Screwed up my order EVEN THOUGH I WAS EXPLICIT in NO ONIONS OF ANY KIND! I had the receipt to prove it! No paper towels in bathroom! Only those germ spreading blowing machines that ARE A PROVEN RISK! Table wasn't cleaned properly! The only thing good was that the front end staff was polite, other than that it was an extremely poor experience. No going to support McD anymore.

5 stars for the night crew. 1 star for the morning. Night shift people are sooo nice, not constantly cutting me off saying "anything else" 😭 like maybe let me finish? Also the fact they dgaf about how many mayo packets they give 🫶🏽 morning ppl only give us two meanwhile nights they give us a heaping handful. Also napkins??? Why do they only give us like two napkins morning time but night time again... heaping handful Morning crew needs to learn respect and patience

325 pm Thursday 19th. Went to spend money here and she wouldn't tell us what dips they had after asking for one they didn't have.... had to ask ....so WHAT kind of dipps do you have then. Shouldn't need to guess what dips you have should be told when you ask for NUGGETS... ALMOST DROVE AWAY

Disgusting price gouging and corporate greed in a time like this. Its not on mcdonalds, but this specific chain and the owners.

Mcdonalds now has the game pieces for the Monopoly and the employees are pulling the stickers off and keeping them for themselves

Up again, down again. This outlet seemed to improve a good deal in recent months. But, rather suddenly, about a month ago, service speed fell, quite a bit. Its taking a long time to get service at the front counter, and, after ordering, even simple orders seem to take an inordinate amount of time to fulfill.

★★
December 22, 2023

The staff here were extremely rude and abrasive. I calmly asked for my coffee 3 times after they basically ignored me for 10 minutes or so. Missed the coffee then ignored me again when I asked. The meat head manager raised his voice and told me to calm down? When he was the one freaking out? They were the ones the screwed up? This location just lost a customer. A well paid, paying customer. I dont go to McDonalds to pay someones wage and get treated with such ignorance and disrespect.

A bit inconsistent.. sometimes forgetting or getting a few things wrong in orders, but no worse than any other fast food location really. The staff and management here are quite pleasant, and do truly care..and will do something if you bring things to their attention. Overall.. decent, and they do well despite their small size and busy drive through.

December 22, 2023

Rude manager, not helpful I am visiting from Vancouver, and i have never meet a worst manager than this one. The manager working at May 2, 2023, 1:30pm, let me be specific, mcdonald please retrain her.

When I was in Port Alberni with no place to go as I didnt exactly know where I was as I got left in Port Alberni, I hung out inside McDonalds for the day.. staff noticed me, but never said anything, until later in the evening when the night time manager or supervisor named Jordan came up to me to ask me if I was okay and mentioned his employees told him Ive been there for several hours (over 8 hrs to be exact) and I told him my situation and he was nice enough to let me sit inside after the dining area was closed and wait until my ride could pick me up later that night. I am sooo thankful for him and making sure I stayed safe and warm until my ride could get to me (which is someone that drove from other end of the Island to get me after they worked all day). I am thankful he never kicked me out, instead he had a heart and wanted to make sure I felt safe, as he knew I was unsure of exactly where I was and didnt know the town.

December 22, 2023

Getting tired of the inconsistent quality of food and coffee its an easy job to make food and drinks properly very disappointed with McDonalds lately

Food is ok. Perfect if you are just wanting a quick something to take the edge off. Their coffee though is awesome ;) and muffins are a cheaply priced as a combo with coffee.

The night shift crew at McDonald s on Redford needs better customer service. I order a meal with 2 drinks, i got to the window and payed and when I was handed the food, part of my order was missing. I told her kindly that I ordered the meal and she ignored me and called her manager over saying how I didn t order the meal and scoffed me away saying she didn t do anything wrong. I asked if I was able to get the rest of my order and to pay for it as if it was apart of the meal but she said no that I had to pay full price as is it was my mistake and there was nothing she could do about it. Even when I got to the window I was not greeted just even when I said hello.

December 22, 2022

Disgusting attitudes towards their own employees, there is a female morning manager that consistently harassed other employees leaving them in tears, terrible display of authority, all managers should go through sensitivity training, I ll never eat there again after witnessing such horrible treatment of excellent employees

It was either policy or the night shift staff that sucked at being flexible with customers. In the past, Ive successfully gone through the drive thru on a bike multiple times. Not once did I run into questionable issues until now. To sum it up: The night shift denied my already-paid-for food just because I was on a ebike. Luckily, my mom was already around to pick me up, so we drove around the drive thru to get my food. 0/5 customer service.

This McDonalds must be the worst run store in BC. Understaffed poorly trained employees. I waited for over 20 minutes for two simple sausage egg McMuffin breakfast orders.
