I can't remember the last time I went to a McDs. Maybe when we were packing/moving/downsizing about 11 years ago. We used to go once every 2-4 years. I would get the double quarter pounder with cheese. It wasn't a "good" burger, but it was decent for McDs. I'm far more likely to go to what I guess might be called "fast casual" today that blows McDs out of the water.

It's been years since I've had one of their burgers.

I do stop once in a while for a breakfast sandwich to go. Sausage egg McMuffin is always good for on the road.

I actually stopped by for a regular egg McMuffin a few months back ... I used to really like them years ago. I didn't even finish it. I don't know what's changed ... I know I have ... but it sucked.

How can ya screw up a freakin' EMcM ... I dunno ?

I think the cost of food at McD's is still very low. The only way that you can keep the cost that low is by serving "food" made from horrible ingredients. "how can we make it cheaper, and not immediately make people sick or kill them (long term death is fine)?"

That's how.

The last few times (again, 10 years ago is the most recent) time I tried hash brown patties or their French fries, they had a sour after taste. I assume the grease isn't getting changed often enough.

I've pretty much given up on fast food. There's a little country burger place up the road that we went to for a bit but have mostly stopped. They have good food that seems to be made from better than avg ingredients (for a fast food place). It's not as expensive as fast casual, but more expensive (I assume) than regular fast food chains.

I don't do fast food either (anymore), but I did as a youngin' and actually liked it just fine ... I ain't that picky .

No mas... it was much better when it wasn't as fast...

SFBs .... I'm starting a chain of Slow Food Burgers

Before covid ... a local chain called Cook-Out was excellent for FF burgers, etc..... no mas.

Delicious.

Please don't complicate my life, McDs.
The only time I stop in is when I need a snack and a bathroom. You have great, clean bathrooms. I have even taken a 5hit in one of your bathrooms (major confession - who does that?).
I get a cheeseburger, small fries, and a medium diet Coke - every time. That's all I need. That's all I want. Cheeseburger, small fries, and a medium diet Coke - and a clean place to take a 5hit.
