Utica's Mohawk Street McDonald's ranks very high in some categories, and looks weak in others.The McChronicles visited this store today and was (as usual) impressed with the cleanliness and orderliness. When it comes to cleanliness, this place always rates high.Today our team watched, incredulous, as customers backed up for almost ten minutes. The amazing part was that people seemed to be waiting for coffee, apple pies, and hamburgers!While the store staff sure seems friendly, the also seemed to just not "get it" when it comes to optimizing transactions....

Obvious Pride & Commitment
Posted on 10:28 by Unknown
A McChronicles team hit the New Hartford McDonald's at 1:30PM yesterday just as two waves of school bus action was subsiding. A Clinton HS bus was filling up and departing, and some kindergarten party was just winding down inside the dining room. Needless to say, the crew was stressed and the place was messed up a bit.The New Hartford crew was just awesome. Our order was taken politely and quickly. And it was obvious that the crew (every single person observed - counter, cooking, dining room) really cared about doing a great job. Even as 50 kids...
