If I'm stopping by somewhere out of town, yes. Food quality varies by location, and I'm not going to waste my money on an undercooked meal at McDonald's when the competitor down the street is better.

You do not check the reviews before you go to McDonalds. Just quit.

And you do not speak for anybody other than yourself.

I'm not directing this at you personally when I say this, but what the fuck is so hard for most people to believe about the idea? Is it a foreign concept to treat franchized fast food places run by different franchisees as not equal? I'm not the only one who uses reviews to decide if I should skip a crappy location.

For me, it is a fact that such establishments are first and foremost matter of convenience, you go there because it is close to where you are at that moment and you expect to get fast food of dubious nutritional quality that is about the same (non)quality as in every other similar place. For fine dining worth prior research you go elsewhere than the McDonald's.
