As someone who has been both an employee and a customer of McDonalds, and someone who has eaten at most other fast food restaurants, I can comfortable say that McDonald’s is the best, and this isn’t shilling for McDonalds, hell they’d at least have to pay me to completely sell out to them but it’s best to face the facts, and although McDonalds has definitely gone down in overall quality, it still arguably does what it was always meant to do: Provide quick easy food that is relatively cheap.

Those of you who complain though about going to McDonalds and not receiving a 5-star meal, what did you expect? Most of the employees are minimum wage workers or teenagers who are only there for the paycheck. If you wanted worship level service for 5 dollars, then I don’ know what to tell you.

Anyways I think there are 3 main reasons for why McDonald’s is probably better than any other fast food restraunts. Number one it is likely still the cheapest option. This is the biggest reason, although I’m well aware prices of changed, most of McDonald’s meals are usually under 15 dollars. This isn’t always true, you can always add on things that increase the price, but for most of the base meals you can expect to pay under that amount. If you’re on a budget you can also find a pretty decent meal under 5 dollars. Especially with their deals that always seem to be going on for some reason. Which I thought was pretty funny, a deal is only really a deal if there’s a time incentive to get it, otherwise it’s less part of a deal and just a strange way to sell more of a particular item.

Something I’d also like to point out is Burger King, the biggest competitor of McDonald’s, a lot of their meals start at bare minimum 14 dollars. And that’s simply for a fucking whopper with nothing extra added to it. Meanwhile I can eat a Big Mac for around 12 dollars. Sure, the Big Mac has a lot less on it than a Whopper but so what? I’d like to eat my food not get robbed by a burger and some French fries.

My next point, there are more McDonalds around, this is a general statement but almost every town or city over 20,000 has at least one. This means you likely don’t have to piss away time looking for a place to fill your little piggy face and can probably find a place around where ever the fuck you live. So, its basic mathematics, why go further for food that is not meant to do much more than fill you up and clog up your arteries in the process. Have you seen gas prices, they’re basically a giant sign that says “Hey dumbass stop going across town for shit you could get down the street.

For those of you who would say “Well McDonalds is really unhealthy, you shouldn’t eat there at all” first off, that’s fair, second off fuck right off. We all have our own vices, for some people it’s a goddamn cup of dirty black water that keeps some of us from losing our mind, for others it’s a crack pipe under a bridge, point is let’s just meet in the middle and call it a draw.

And the last reason I’ll give as to why McDonalds is probably the best fast-food restaurant is the fact they pretty much have the best food for what you’re getting for the money. I know this s basically repeating the two points and I could have just made this simpler by saying that in the beginning but fuck you I still got you to read it. Anyways, if you can name a fast-food restaurant that is more convenient both economically and just being a better use if your time, let me know, That way we can all stop paying 13 dollars for a fucking burger that let’s be real you could probably make one at home for half that price, oh wait, I think I just found out what that something is.
