McDonald's is a waste of time
There's faster food for less and better food for the same price. There's no point unless you're traveling.
I’ve had gas station sushi that was better on the road
I've had a Wawa hotdog that gave me the shits. Point is that McD and other chain fast food is a known while traveling.
It's really the food of last resort. Most times if that's the only option I'll just wait until I'm somewhere more civilized with better options.
McDonald's is absolute garbage.
I occasionally buy Chik Fil A (even though they're assholes), and they cost just as mucj as McDs and are far better. I prefer KFC though (fam hates it).
Chil-Fil-A is a Y'all Queda owned restaurant that serves dry, mediocre chicken sandwiched between crappy bread.
Their only notable contribution is managing to destroy traffic for blocks around their stupid restaurants.
I don't eat there for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is it's a twenty minute drive and then a twenty minute wait in line to get it. But I couldn't name a better fast food spicy chicken sandwich. Wendy's is the only place close, I think, although I feel like their quality has really gone down over the past twenty years.
Which isn't to defend Chick-fil-A (seriously, I don't like their politics), but just express my curiosity about where you're getting better ones because it has to be franchises that aren't around here (not near a major population center) and I want to keep my eyes open when I travel.
I must've gotten leftovers or something because the 2 times I've been dragged to that establishment I've found the food to be severely overrated.
Honestly when I want a chicken sandwich I get Aldi redbag chicken with some pickle juice and their Ciabatta buns... better than Chik
