    In any large city only idiots and tourists buy McDonalds now with any regularity.

    Like, it’s like once or twice A year at most, otherwise there are way, way better options for the same price point all around.

      McDonald’s is fast. That’s all they have going for them and the only reason I ever go. When I only have 3 minutes to pull over and have hot food put in the car.

        Their Happy Meal, and I hate them for this, is wonderful on a roadtrip with kids. Box for food, then it’s a box for the trash, and the kids get a stupid toy to play with for a few hours that they think is wonderful because “new”.

      Having worked there right after uni, I refuse to eat there. Not because of the food quality (it’s not great) but because of the awful way that they treat employees and their acceptance of abuse towards employees from customers.

      This was in the 1990s, so back when their prices were much lower, but I really stretched my budget when I visited New York City by eating a lot at McDonald’s. These days considering how pricey McDonald’s apparently is, I wouldn’t bother.
