Hardly ever go to McDonald's. For about the same price, I can go to a small restaurant down the street and get better food, ordered to my specs and made fresh. No old, cold or stale burgers and fries there.
I grew up in a small town. Moved to Des Moines, IA. after graduation for schooling. We hit McDonald's every day for the first week or so, it got old quickly. Did KFC and the others as well. This was 1974 / 1975 and as I recall, a meal was around $2.00
Then we discover a grocery store with a deli. Much better and variety of food, about the same price.
