As a poor person, I still go to McDonald's all the time -- and I can report that food quality and variety has never been better, AT THE RURAL RESTAURANTS. Come to the McDonald's in Lexington, Ohio and get a hot meal that tastes good. Same is true for the Burger King. But the urban McDonald's are almost entirely staffed and run now by first-generation immigrants and members of downtrodden communities... and there's no way to make the menu and the process simple enough for them to do it.

This is worth a separate post on my part.

With regard to Five Guys -- they charge $19 for the equivalent of a Quarter Pounder Meal and take 10-15 minutes to get it done.

I’m old enough to remember the first McDonald’s non-drive thru. Served in sixty seconds or it’s free! I can’t remember the last time I went. Can you?
