You should come to the McDonalds on Clark and Wrightwood in Chicago. It's in one of Chicago's most affluent neighborhoods, and the breadth of people I see there is nuts.
There are no less than three groups of senior citizens who come every single day for breakfast. There are a number of people who go there all of the time because they like it. They show up in $100k cars because they want something from McDonalds.
I grab breakfast at McDonald's all the time. I can afford to pay more for food, but I really love McDonalds breakfast. It's fast, convenient, and unlike other fast food restaurants it doesn't taste like a poor version of better food. McDonald's taste's like McDonald's.
That being said, I only order delivery when I'm with other people, so I can't really see myself utilizing the service often. I can, however, see someone ordering like 100 McChickens (or happy meals) if they've got a huge group of hungry kids.
- problems 9y agoTotally true, I don't know where people get the idea that only the poor eat McDonald's, being able to grab something quick and consistent is an extremely handy thing. Their breakfast is quite tasty and cheap too. Maybe I'm in the minority, but most of the time food quality is not the #1 most important thing when I eat, speed is more often a consideration for me, I find myself going "well, I can sit down at a restaurant and waste an hour or grab an egg mcmuffin in 5 minutes", especially when eating alone I tend to lean on the quicker option so long as it doesn't taste actively bad to me.

- Declanomous 9y agoI think the perception that there is no way to be healthy and eat at McDonald's is kind of ridiculous. I ride my bike 20 miles a day, I play basketball, I go for walks during lunch. I drink a ton of water, go to the doctor regularly. Eating a McDonald's breakfast isn't going to kill me. Honestly, some of the 'healthy' foods I see people eating are way worse. There might be a ton of salt, but it's not loaded with carbohydrates and sugars.
