... you went to McDonalds for something other than coffee?

Just kinda curious.

It's been years for me.

Interesting article on how the franchisees are getting tired of the "throw something against the wall and maybe it will stick" -- The Chipolte affect and the demand for a better quality of food is taking its toll, some calling it a depression.

If I had kids, they'd never see the inside of a McDonalds.

And yet, MCD (stock) is near it's 52 high.
