I hate it. You drive a thousand miles and eat at the same friggin’ restaurant you have at home!
I might not be so annoyed if I actually liked the common roadside places, but as it is, “McDonald’s next exit” is more of a threat than a promise.
- protomyth 7y agoThe local food places are probably better, but one small problem on a big trip can be caused by food that doesn't react will with you. Whatever their faults, most franchises are at least that consistent.
- rootusrootus 7y agoAnd if you have young kids, McDonalds is very useful on a road trip. Food that I can at least tolerate, is a known quantity, the kids will eat it, and they have a play area (well, not all, but a lot of them). I won't eat McD's when we're in our home city, but I really appreciate it on a trip.
