That's more expensive than me going to "better" fast food places like Chipotle, Panda Express, etc. Which is silly because McD's is only a choice for me when there's nearly nothing else I trust to eat.

Well, it's a rest stop, so I'd imagine it's also more expensive than you going to a McDonald's.

When it's that, gas stations, and local places that look shady on the road, sure? The only thing McD's really has going for it is they maintain franchise consistency in their food.

Well, that and Big Macs are delicious...

Usain Bolt eats McDonalds when overseas that’s how reliable it is.

If the finest dining in an area is a McDonald's, I just skip a meal.

I wouldn't call any of those options better. Idk about your taste if food if you like cold mostly rice burritos, or cold mostly rice and katsup chicken. I've been priced out of fast food because of these rising costs for a couple years now and making my own food is quite a bit healthier and cheaper even though I hate cooking.

I've generally found McDonald's, Burger King and other similar fast food places to be at price parity with Culver's, so the choice becomes a very simple "do I want to eat Culver's?" Since I might as well get much better food for the exact same dang price

That's as expensive as an actual restaurant
