Which parts? Where I currently am I would not admit going to a McDonald's (or Burger King for that matter). There are lots of grubby independent places such as cheap, greasy kebab joints here, and even they seem to place above the chain fastfood restaurants in social acceptableness.
Not trying to be snobby, just curious what's below McDonald's if it can be considered "upmarket".
- niftich 10y agoIn terms of social standing, below McDonald's is not going out to eat at all. You avoid going out unless you're with friends, and instead pack your own lunch. In Budapest, Hungary, many of the kebab vendors have little seating room, so McDonald's becomes the cheapest place to sit like you would in a Starbucks (which also exists, and is considerably more of a luxury). I've seen the same phenomenon in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, and Russia as well.
