cheap, fast and consistant. big mac in california is exactly the same in miami or sheboygan. you know what your getting. also clean bathrooms on the road.
Clean bathrooms? Every mcds Ive ever used the bathroom in was because it was an emergency and they always look like a warzone.
always had the consistantly cleanest of anywhere I would stop on the road. Could be bad but generally that seemed to be from someone really recent.
Cheap? no.
Fast? not particularly
Consistent? Not true. Sometimes they manage to get the patty in the bun.
Very no. Haven't you heard of hotels? Just walk in and ask where the restroom is. Whoever you ask is just gonna assume you're staying there.
Hell, even if they know you're not staying there, if you don't look like there's at least an 80% chance you're going to both smoke crack and shit on the floor in there, whoever you ask isn't paid enough to care. And anyway, if you're going to both smoke crack and shit on the floor in there, that's what Starbucks is for.
Im just giving my experiences and hotels are not common on the road in between cities. You have a point on cheap which has reduced my fast food consumption by like 99%. Inflation has greatly improved my diet as it seemed to hit the cheapest stuff most heavily so the healthy and better choices while still more expensive, are not that much more relative to years back.
