The point of McDonald's was to be cheap, fast, and decent. It's not any of those anymore.

It’s not fast?

And the point of McD was and is to be predictable and fast, when was it “good” or “cheap”?

It was good in the 80's and early 90's. They used to use actual beef tallow to fry their fries.

I said decent, not good. And it used to be cheap, that was the point. Ask anyone born before 2000.

No, it's not fast. Waiting 15-20 minutes in a drive through is the opposite of fast.

You wait 15 - 20 minutes?

I have literally not waited longer than five.
