Which McDick's location doesn't attract a steady flow of "interesting" clientele?

I've been to ones in London And Hungary. You would be surprised how clean and respectful the clientele are.

I don't understand the appeal either. It's...fried chicken. It's been around forever. What are Jollibee and Chick-Fil-A doing differently with goddamn fried chicken than the other chains to justify standing in lineups and overpaying for shitty food??

The Mcdonalds in Budapests Western Railway station is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. See here in this image from u/littlebakewell on Reddit.

I've never witnessed that in Toronto in 33 years - but I saw it many times during the week I spent in Rome. As we arrived at our hotel, on a hot and dry day, I had to warn my friend: "Don't step in that puddle. It's not water."

Oh great another empty papered up store front downtown.
The poor guy has been there 11 years and the landlord couldn't give the guy a break? So now the rich landlord will have an empty store front for months maybe even years until some generic corporate chain takes over. Just sad.

With the way things have been going, it wouldn't be surprising if this ends up being another fast food chain or cannabis store.

The city needs to introduce a tax on vacant store fronts. Rents would come down as landlords try to keep their spaces occupied
