I don't think I've had McDonald's fries (or anything else there for that

Are they better? Used to taste like a salty, wet stick or at least what
I imagine a salty, wet stick would taste like.

occasionally when traveling I might grab something through the drive-up,
but, I’ve never really been a McDonald’s fan either.


They have good coffee, and a senior price. Other than that, I used to like
the sausage biscuit for breakfast when traveling.

I don't find much I really like at McD. We had one across the parking
lot from our Ft Myers office and I would walk over there if I was
really busy and did not have time to go somewhere. I would usually get
some kind of regular sized sandwich and a salad with iced tea. It was
still a last resort sort of thing.
I worked in Wendys and Burger King, of the two I prefer BK but there
is a huge difference in the sanitation and even the quality of the
food between stores, even in the same general area. At the very least
you should look around a little. If you see something yucky from the
counter, just imagine what it looks like in the back and you are
probably not wrong.

If you buy two McChicken $1 sandwiches, throw away one bun and put the chicken on the other, you've
got a decent chicken sandwich for $2.

Back before McD had sold billions of burgers, we would buy a dozen at 14
cents each, take them back to where we worked on our race cars and toss
half the buns.

Agree with both. There coffee is much better than it used to be. Now it's drinkable, and the price
is right (for us old guys).
