I used to refer to them as American Embassies when traveling. If you're lost, tired, hot, thirsty, hungry, have to use the bathroom and don't have change for a public WC but you stumble on a McDonald's, they'll have all the amenities you mention and often a map of the surrounding area.

Also more importantly, somehow Starbucks more reliably has WiFi you can connect to without having a working phone number to authenticate, which was a huge problem in Switzerland (I tried a McDonalds first, too, but needed a phone number).
- beart 8y agoAll of the Starbucks I visited in Europe had locks on the bathrooms.
