Dear McDonald’s
Your new McCafe drinks are disgusting. I had assumed you put them through some taste testing and marketing analysis, but when I took my first drink I knew that wasn’t the case. Were you trying to emulate gas-station-powder cappuccinos? If so, then congratulations, SUCCESS! However, if your goal was to create a coffeehouse quality drink a la Starbucks (or any of the other fantastic REAL coffeehouses), then I have to say McFAIL.
I don’t know if it’s sub-quality syrup, stale/low-par espresso, or employee incompetence, but something needs to be done if you hope to actually compete. And these dozen FREE McCafe coupons I have? They’re not even worth it.
Hmmm … I actually really enjoy my medium sugar free vanilla latte. I think you should try a different McDonald’s or a different time of day – particularly if you have coupons for free stuff!!! Occasionally, I will get a “bad” one – some of those fry makers just don’t know how to mix the stuff properly, I guess.
I don’t know, I’m scared to try them again. To your point though, it was the same location 3 days in a row and all at the same time of day. I just figure if I’m gonna spend the money I should get something I know I’ll like.
