I went there one night a couple of weeks ago. The cashier had her two kids (about 10 and 12, may have been her little sisters, or maybe she was babysitting for someone) and they were running rampant. They were making messes on tables, running around with their shoes off, scaring old people by making them think they were going to fall by running around them so fast, etc. I went back last Friday and had to wait on a man and a six year old at the self-serve drink bar. The kid had his shoes on the drink bar, and was barefoot. I told my friend very loudly that that was nasty, hoping they would hear me and realize how shameful they should feel. They didn't care.
McDonald's doesn't care either. They wouldn't let me, a grown man, in barefoot, but they invite these kids to take their shoes off in Playland and then don't bother to make sure the shoes go back on in other parts of the Restaurant. I am calling the Health Department tomorrow.
McDonald's cares so much about a profit that they have to have the Playland so the kids will nag their parents to bring them to the store, and they care nothing about the health risks of having these kids run around barefoot.
And if that wasn't enough I saw the developmentally disabled janitor bring down the American Flag from outside well after dark and he dragged it on the ground from the front door to behind the counter. They must not care about the flag either, even though they have made their billions on the backs of so many Americans, from so many walks of life.

Barefoot babies

The behavior you saw at the McDonald's you went to is definitely against policy. The emloyees should have notified their immediate supervisor who then should have told the parents to control their children or leave because they are being disruptive and potentially harmful to other customers. Shoes on the drink station is not just unsanitary it's disgusting and the employee should have been out there immediately with sanitizer and towels.

What did I expect from some of you people?
AUTHOR: Henry - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 11, 2010
It is the manager's job to make sure people behave properly on the premises. If the parents don't do it, it is up to the manager to find the parents, make them take control or get out. And if there are no parents to be found, call social services. But, the 'adult' in charge was not a customer, it was an employee who had those children there, and was allowing them to do as they pleased. It was doubly bad, as an employee was the acting parent, and a manager was turning a blind eye to it. How can a McDonald's employee babysit and perform their job? Those children had no business being there. I should have called social services myself. Who do I sue when that kid knocks me down and I break a bone or get a concussion? I'll be going after McDonald's, and they sure as hell better be in control of what happens in their stores.
How many stores say "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service?" That rule is in place for health reasons, and to protect the store from lawsuits resulting from barefooted people stepping on damaging objects. Who gets sued when I step on a little toe and break it? I'm not taking responsibility, the kid should have had shoes on if not in the playpen.
And for anyone that has said the flag is nothing to take note of, shame on you. Like I said, this company has made so billions on the broken backs of Americans, the least they can do is extend some respect.
I also want everyone to know that everytime I report here and it involves a sanitation or health issue, I do call the health department. Very luckily, any report they receive they are required to investigate, and I'm sure that a place like that, with all of its lazy, apathetic, and ignorant employees gets nailed on something. How about a swab on that bar where the barefoot kids are walking? Guess it wouldn't have been so bad if the manager had kept the children from walking on it, but now they got nailed.

Perhaps the treatment of the flag would be better served with its own complaint. This poster bellyaches so much about local fast food outlets it makes me wonder if all the grocery stores have banned him for life.

Flag

I understand that to some of you the flag is a big deal.
To some of us it is just a flag.
I don't think my opinion on the flag reflects on our education system also, I know all the rules on respecting a flag. I follow them because other people get offended if you don't. I have had family die in wars around the world. I appreciate what they do for me.
That doesn't change a flag just being a flag. I'm sorry if that offends you, but that's the nation we live in. I have the right to have that opinion, and the freedom to express it. I don't need a flag to remind me of the rights I have.
All of that is beside the point, it doesn't rip anyone off. This report is about out of control kids whom their parents should be controlling, and a person who drug the flag on the ground. The former is not mcdonald's fault, and the latter is unimportant.

The flag thing IS disrepectful, to some people, but not a rip-off in any way shape or form.
Its not like mcdonald's spit in your food or something.
Do I need to post rip-off reports now every time I see a company mistreat the flag? Cause I don't know if I have that much time in the day.
Personally, I could care less how a company treats the flag, so long as I get what I paid for and get the service I expect.

'As for the flag, who cares? I realize some people are offended by the flag touching the ground, but how does that impact your ability to eat a cheeseburger?'
I care! I served in two wars and have seen friends die, all so you can make the remark you did without fear of repercussion from the government. There are countries that would severely punish you for your remark against their flag but, through the blood of countless young soldiers you have the right to say it in America.
Apparently you do not understand the meaning of the national flag. That is the tragic result of our educational system.
The American flag means a lot to me and others, so tread lightly, for our sakes.

Benefit of the Doubt...

"As for the flag, who cares?"
- Ashley I really hope that you did not mean this as it sounds. The flag is a sign of respect, and dragging it on the ground IS mistreatment. Actually proper regulations required that it be burned once that happens. If you want to find out about who cares about the flag, then go to your local American Legion Hall, talk to any member of the Military(Active Duty or Veteran), or visit a National Cemetery. Then come back and answer the question "who cares".
As for the rest of the OP's report. Should the kids be walking on counter tops, NO. But it is the parents responsibility to stop it. In reality though the closest thing to food that will touch this is the bottom of your cup, tray or food wrappers. So the effect would be minimal. It is not like they are walking on your dinner plate. If dirtyness is a concern then you should know that I have seen people with much dirtier hands at these places.
So if this bugs you, then you need to not go to ANY fast food resturant. Because I can guarantee you that things like this happen at every one, you just happened to see it at McDonalds.

Once the American flag hits the ground it must be burned - just what I learned from my German Grandfather who served in the US Army during WW2
As for the OP - don't like it? Stop going to McDonalds period

Who cares?

Stacy, you said: "As for the flag, who cares? I realize some people are offended by the flag touching the ground, but how does that impact your ability to eat a cheeseburger?"
Wow.... do you really care so little for the most important symbol of our country? No, it doesn't really have anything to do with a ripoff, but it has EVERYTHING to do with McDonalds. Part of the responsibility in displaying the flag is understanding the protocols. Dragging the flag on the ground is NEVER appropriate, ever.
And there are a LOT of people who care, and would be just as upset as the OP if they saw it. Don't believe me? Ask any one of the over a million veterans, or any of their family members.

Exactly

This has nothing to do with mcdonalds, and everything to do with parents who won't control their kids.
I guarantee he is exaggerating the problem. Would it have been better if the kid had shoes on while they walked on the counter? Not really.
Mcdonalds cannot control the behavior of every customer that enters their store. That would be the job of the parents.
As for the flag, who cares? I realize some people are offended by the flag touching the ground, but how does that impact your ability to eat a cheeseburger?
Mcdonald's is not ripping anyone off here. If the person is concerned, then have a health inspector come by and see if they pass inspection or not. if they pass inspection, then its a non-issue.
At a nice restaurant I expect children to behave, some place like mcdonald's that encoruages children to be there and play, I expect children to be wild and misbehave. Its the nature of the restaurant.
Best advice I can give to the OP, If the children hack you off so much, Why do you go to that mcdonald's? Go get your cheap hamburger somewhere else.

To Stacy.... I think you're missing the point. OK, this isn't exactly a ripoff, but it sure is something people might want to know about. The OP doesn't hate kids or the developmentally disabled. He hates HEALTH RISKS that barefoot children running amok cause, and he doesn't appreciate ANYONE dragging the flag like a mop. McDonald's needs to keep the kids in line so they don't bother other patrons, and they need to teach the janitor the proper way to handle the flag. That's all.
