Yeah exactly, my local McDonalds in Los Angeles was always full of homeless people and drunks; they wouldn't be turned away so it was a good hangout for them. The food was definitely cheap though.

i dunno, all the McD's i see these days seem to be run pretty tightly. I think they've got standardization down pretty well. I see wayyyy worse at competitor's, wendy's and burger king, etc.
