Uh oh...they opened a McDonalds right beside Tesco Extra Rutherglen!
It's been open for a few months now and today, as I walked along in the heat I decided to pop in and get a McFlurry because well...it's been years since I've had a McFlurry!
This is a two storey McDonalds and it has a drive thru (there are 2 lanes going into the drive thru to help keep queues shorter which is a good idea). As you go in, you can either be served at the till or there are self service machines you can use. These allow you to make and pay for your order (pretty sure it's only card but you can use these machines and then take your receipt to the till, then pay in cash...seems like a lot of hassle for nothing). Anyway, either way you choose to pay your receipt displays a number and it is called when your order is ready.
As I only ordered a Caramel McFlurry, my wait wasn't that long. The ice cream was amazing, just like Mr Whippy goodness! There were huge chocolate chunks and plenty of caramel sauce. A McFlurry triumph if ever there was one!
Staff were nice enough, the usual. Nothing else exciting to report but I hope this weather keeps up so I can justify a few more McFlurry moments! read more
