\"McDs\"By Courtney Schulte–<\/strong>People all over the United States are celebrating McDonald\u2019s newest promotion of \u201call day breakfast\u201d and the Morningside location is showing better than expected results.<\/span><\/p>\n

The change officially went in to place on October 6th\u00a0across the country, but the Morningside location started one-week prior, and preparations for the change have been going on for months.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a shift manager at the Morningside branch of McDonald\u2019s, Ivan Yager, this location went through with a trial period last summer. During the trial, breakfast time was extended from 10:30am to 11:00am. The results showed well for the company and is said to have something to do with the early change in Sioux City.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yager explained that nationwide, the corporation expected a trend in sales the first few months after the change and \u201cthe Morningside location is doing much better than was even expected.\u201d The location being so close to Morningside College is thought to have a big affect on this trend. Yager says he has noticed that now students are coming in for breakfast after sleeping in or finishing their morning classes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morningside student, Brett Kies, agrees with Yager\u2019s thought on college students taking advantage of all day breakfast. Kies says he appreciates it the most when he runs into late night hunger and referred to the change as, \u201cthe best idea McDonald\u2019s has ever had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Callan Smith, of Sioux City, is enthusiastic about the change. He says that all day breakfast is something he has seen coming for a while now. He noticed that Taco Bell has been promoting their all day breakfast for a while, possibly pushing McDonald\u2019s to make their move.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enthusiastically, Smith explained that he has so far loved having the ability to wake up at any time or stop in to the Morningside McDonald\u2019s on his lunch break and freely order an Egg McMuffin. Smith\u2019s reasoning for feeling so strongly about the topic is, \u201cpeople fought for all day breakfast, we should use it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s only complaint is that the wait time for every breakfast order after the usual breakfast hours is three to four minutes. This wait is due to all breakfast items having to be made to order and Yager explained the way that this has changed the kitchen life in the store.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything had to be changed because the grills are only set up to cook meat. A separate grill was purchased to cook the eggs on. Since things have to be done separately, and the change has brought in a rush, Yager explained that all employees have had to jump in to help in order to get everything done.<\/span><\/p>\n

While there has been a positive reaction to the all day change, there are people who still are not happy. Rhonda Blundell, also of Sioux City, says that she has never enjoyed McDonald\u2019s breakfast and just does not understand the vivid excitement over the change. She went even further to explain that she wishes the opposite had been executed: making hamburgers and fries also available all day. She says that she would much rather been given the opportunity to have a McChicken for breakfast than a McMuffin for lunch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, not everyone can be happy. Due to the limited kitchen space, only certain breakfast items made it to the all day breakfast menu and Monte Hansen, of Sioux City, is not pleased with the choices. Upon being denied scrambled eggs at two in the afternoon, he exclaimed, \u201cyou call this breakfast? Take the sign down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There are definitely opinions from every end of the spectrum to be had on this unexpected topic. Overall, McDonald\u2019s is doing their best to make customers happy and the change is showing well. The change is something that looks like is here to stay thanks to the positive trend in sales.<\/span><\/p>\n
