Burger King is at least in the upper 50%. It's better than McDonalds by far.

maybe its a regional thing. I could see mcdonalds in other places being dilapidated ran-down eyesores that employ nothing but felons and the absolute bottom dwelling scum of the city. but here, that is what BK's are while mcdonalds are clean and staffed with atleast somewhat normal humans and highschool kids. This is a McD state for sure
