[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The prices at McDonald's tell a crazy story. The dollar menu is gone. I paid $15 for two fish filets this week. $20 used to feed a family of four.[/quote]

Someone has to pay for those minimum wage increases. [/quote]

+1000 everyone was for paying unskilled, uneducated workers (who are NEVER helpful to customers) at target $20 a hour and mcdonalds people more but then complain when they have to pay more, Where did you think the money was going to come from?

I haven't been to Mcdonalds in 5 years and a target in about 4 years. I'm better for it. Won't use these places ever again. [/quote]

I go to McDonald's regularly (sorry not sorry) and I get really good customer service there. I have had bad customer service in a McDonald's of course, but it's not universal and usually I have a very good experience. The one near me that I go to most often is staffed by middle-aged immigrant women from central and South America, some of whom have been there for years. I think they must have good management because they are all really pleasant and friendly and do their jobs well.

Target is more hit or miss.

The problem with a lot of places like this is not the customer service, but the fact that they are filled with homeless people, people on drugs, panhandlers, shoplifters, etc. Targets in cities and in middle and working class neighborhoods, deal with this, and that's what makes the shopping experience so miserable. It also makes it hard to hire and retain good workers because why would anyone who is any good at their job want to spend their day being harassed by non-paying customers? Do you want to be the person at Target tasked with unlocking the detergent for people who actually want to buy it while standing your ground agains the many people trying to steal it so they can sell it in the parking lot? $20 per hour is not enough money for that specific job, at least not for more than a few months until you find something better.[/quote]
