Well, here where I live, McDonalds IS the weird overpriced restaurant.

Judging by your instance that's wishful thinking... Not saying maccas isnt garbage but it certainly isnt exotic or unusual here in Germany. I give you the overpriced part though, they went right along with the covid greed pricing.

I didn't mean weird in sense of exotic, more weird as in the atmosphere in there is kinda weird. To be fair, Burger King has a kind of similar weird atmosphere.

But yeah, it is expensive af. It was even before Covid.

I knew they call McDonald's "Maccas" in Australia, but I didn't know they did so in Germany too.

Actually we call it Mecces, Mäckie or McDoof (like McDumb).
