Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

McDonald's is selling paper thin beef and costs more than your local cafe here in Australia
The standard has dropped a lot. I only go on a long car trip
I don't even go when on a long car trip anymore. I'd rather pay just as much for a less american chain
hell even McDonald's closes the doors after 11pm now and is drive through only. the last thing they had going for them was that they had a washroom available when driving at night. now I'll still go to the less american chain since there's literally nothing McDonald's offers that they don't. well, nothing good anyways
Funny you mention that, the last time I was driving late (I think about 1am) I needed to fill up on the way home and noticed people pulling up at the McDonalds across the parking lot even though the drive trough was on the other side of the building. I watched people get out, try the doors, shrug and then put their asses to the window and do their business. The funny part to me is that there is staff in side and these people had to know it, but did it anyway.
So in a way they do have facilities after 11pm.
ngl I considered pissing in the trees. "open 24 hours" means open 24 hours, not "open during the day but you can order pick up at night". I'd had to piss for the last half an hour and I'd already given my body the ok to prepare to relieve itself in a few minutes when I got off the highway. that was a hard one to hold in.
I have absolutely no problem with businesses having schedules. I absolutely have a problem with false advertising and lies.
In this case I think it was done with spite, since the gas station I was at had the buzzer system bathrooms I believe. But I do get why its bull shit to be "open" but then not be open. Its odd since as I get older there seems to be less and less 24 hour things, something that I did not think would be my "yells at cloud" thing would be getting a hot meal at 3 am.
For me, it's generally when I travel up to hotham (a 4hour trip). As I need fuel too and always tend to stop at the same servo.
But yeah, I remember my first big Mac probably 25 years ago. It was incredible. Now it's a limited edition
