For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

Reliability. I can go anywhere in the world and if I'm unsure about the local food I can just go to a McDonalds. I will get a double quarter pounder without onion and pickles and have it with large fries and a large drink. Or sometimes a Big Mac without onion and pickles. Can't go wrong. It's also cheap.

I got a story that'll waggle your eyes
I got a burger and a thingy of fries, I think we disguise
Our lives when we speak, but we show it with what we eat
We defeat eternal demons with heaps of internal shitty meat
Ronald had a dream when he was sucking his mom's titty
He wanted to palm cities rockin’ his fall hoodie
In this heat? Nah, man, he ain't no clown
He don't need another guardian to hold the fucking place down
Ronald, I never got to say thank you
If you caught me at a KFC I never meant to hurt you
I tore down a thousand Burger Kings for talking shit
Have ‘em lost for words on some Stephen Hawking shit
This cancer's got these little kids biting lips
If burgers kill, then fuck it, I’m gonna die from it
I’ll fucking die for you, Ronald, I hope you understand
Avoid beef and im taking your ass to Pakistan
See if Ronald McDonald would have to run a bottle shop
Ronald would unload a couple shots on these fucking cops
See McDonalds is the finest china quality
That make your legs wobble a lava lamp holding Socrates is
Less postmodern than Ronald, cause in a thousand years
You and I'll be gone but the patties keep flipping
The chicken is still delicious the living expense is limitless
So why the fuck you eating salad, bitch?
See back in ‘48 was when I heard of this magic place
When the atom bomb crushed a small country in it's natural state
Rebuilt itself into a fine little real estate
And reeled in any American chains with exceptional taste, but...

Is it me or is fast food quality more dependable on the west coast? In Massachussetts there were six McDonalds near me growing up and it was expected that you'd get something made improperly, dry, and might not even be your order at best, and food poisoning at worst. There were two "good McDonalds", and we'd drive past like three other McDonalds to get to the good one. The good one cooked the food normally and usually didn't fuck your order up.

In LA, people just google "nearest mcdonalds", either mobile order or drive to it and order there, and even tho the employees can be rude like every fast food place, they don't seem to fuck the order up nearly as much. I went to a McDonald's deep in the "hood" in LA, bulletproof glass and everything, and the food was perfectly fine and hot as if Ronald himself could bust in at any moment. Weirdly picture-perfect each time, if that makes sense. I could actually taste fucking sesame seeds popping in beef grease in each bite, which is something you'd never taste with the single-bite buns and hockey puck patties common at east coast McDonalds

default mcdonalds order east coast
>bun is tough, have to pull away on bite
>burger is dry, not juicy
>cheese is unmelted
>fries cold and oily

default mcdonalds order west coast
>fries can be oily sometimes but usually crispy, fluffy, hot
>burger is as juicy as a non-fast-food burger
>bun is tender, toasted
>cheese melted almost liquid

Can someone shed some light on this, vouch for me or explain why this is? Or if you've had a completely diff experience.

Worked there for years.

McDonalds as a corporation is known for having intense standards for how to make everything but no one follows them so the quality variation is crazy.
Also, when it gets really busy, occasionally, a patty will fall on the floor and still get used.
They're completely crazy about the percentage of money they are paying on labor. They closely monitor it by the hour and will send people home if there isn't enough business coming in, EVEN IF THAT'S BEFORE THE DINNER RUSH.
They were also pretty crazy about not allowing OT because the managers get a really small bonus if they don't allow OT.
They give you one free meal a day which can be used on anything except 5 selects and a double quarter pounder I think. But they're crazy stingy otherwise. For example, you couldn't get a McChicken meal and add a slice of cheese on it (not that it matters, the cheese there isn't really real)
There's no McFlurry machine really. It's just a device that stirs the ice cream and McFlurry toppings. I used to sometimes not even use that and stir it by hand.
THey were so stingy that we stole constantly. It's not like we can take that much. But every hour or so, I'd go to the walk in and drink a chocolate milk container thing. Would also steal nuggets while working in the grill.

Starting to think this is pasta because Chicken Selects aren't a thing anymore. But yes, my franchise gave you a free meal. You couldn't get some of the more premium items. Later, they changed it to 50% off on a day you worked.

It used to be okay if you needed a quick bite. These days, it's fucking restaurant prices. It's insane what they are asking for their food...

I didn't realize this until I became an adult but a lot of places have stores open all night. It's amazing
I assume it's a matter of how many people live in said place

Taught me a lot. How to take orders, how to run a fry/hashbrown station, how to run the meat/clamshells, how to assemble sandwiches, how to dish wash (unpleasant at first but with good gloves perhaps the best shift to work if drinking/smoking). Also, “calling” is hard (preemptively making sandwiches based on hypothetical future demand). Lots of life lessons learned.

Time limited burgers. Only things worth getting there, the christmas burgers especially. I miss the festive deluxe from 2013 to this day.
