McDonalds-Easthampton, MA

By now we've all heard, seen or thrown-up at the You-Tube video that an Ex-McDonalds employee showing the disgusting, horrible, awful, vile conditions. It seemed like everywhere a customer was not able to see had another surprise, like it was just someone playing a trick on someone....ohhhh if only it were that simple and we were that lucky.

I have never eaten at the McDonalds in the video and I wouldn't eat in that dump if you paid me, and obviously it's going to reflect poorly on the franchise as a whole. I'm going to rate the store as if the video never happened because otherwise I would be giving every single place a 1 star based on the probability of similar conditions. So, let's pretend that was an isolated incident and everything we can't see is beautifully cleaned and it's just so damn clean we could eat off the floor with a fork, or at least eat some frys without finding mouse dropping scattered throughout.

Overall there was nothing terrible but i' m the type of person that values morals+ honesty very much and simpily believe it's the right thing to do to treat any other person the way you want to be treated. Saying that, I did have a bad experience at this particular drive through, again, it wasn't anything huge but still I felt pretty disappointed that Mcdonalds even made it possible to happen. Basically at this time period they had a special on the 20 piece chicken McNuggets meal and it was cheaper to get that entire meal then it was to get a 10 piece nuggets alone. NOT THE NUGGET MEAL THAT WAS 10 PIECE, JUST THE 10 NUGGETS WERE MORE EXPENSIVE then the 20 AND a drink AND fry's. I noticed after I ordered as I was pulling up to the window to pay and asked the girl if there was a mistake on the prices or a mixup between those 2.Her response of a simple no why left me wondering just how many people per day pay an extra $1 to get less then half as much food and maybe more if they go and buy a drink they should have for free. As I said earlier, not anything HUGE, did they do anything illegal absolutely not, but if that was me I'd make a suggestion and ask if they wanted to exchange, it's the right thing to do. If she was specifically told not to tell ppl by management then i'd understand more but then the least she could have done was apologize. I can say with nearly 100% certainty that the girl at the drive-through window was not the person that thinks up their selling practices and store procedures, it's not her fault but still, maybe i'm old fashioned but I just hope for more out of everyone

MightyText-Beta App

I have to say this is a GREAT APP. I can't believe no one thought of it sooner really. It saves me so much time and hassle of having to keep my phone next to me somewhere while i'm trying to work and then finding it burried under papers and mixing stuff up everytime i get a message ect and now with this I don't have to worry about that! Keep up the good works guys.

There is 1 thing I would like to suggest though...make it compatible with my Toshiba Thrive if that's possible? I'm using my EVO with it at this point and love it but for some reason it's showing not compatible with the THRIVE. I haven't found too many apps that it dosen't work with so i was surprised a little but again, it's just something that would help me personally, and other thrive users, not a problem with the actual app.

Google Maps


My Review

I try to use google products for as many of my applications and extensions as possible just to keep it simple and because typically I think that google produces top of the line products. Once Maps added the check-in" feature to keep up with the competition I was pleased. As always with google the features continuing improving as more and more ideas are suggested but it seems like there is an overlap with quite a few of the apps like this such as navigate, maps, earth, ect since maps itself can do many of the things that those other programs are for.
