Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

McDonald's is a waste of time
There's faster food for less and better food for the same price. There's no point unless you're traveling.
I’ve had gas station sushi that was better on the road
I've had a Wawa hotdog that gave me the shits. Point is that McD and other chain fast food is a known while traveling.
It's really the food of last resort. Most times if that's the only option I'll just wait until I'm somewhere more civilized with better options.
McDonald's is absolute garbage.
I occasionally buy Chik Fil A (even though they're assholes), and they cost just as mucj as McDs and are far better. I prefer KFC though (fam hates it).
Chil-Fil-A is a Y'all Queda owned restaurant that serves dry, mediocre chicken sandwiched between crappy bread.
Their only notable contribution is managing to destroy traffic for blocks around their stupid restaurants.
I don't eat there for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is it's a twenty minute drive and then a twenty minute wait in line to get it. But I couldn't name a better fast food spicy chicken sandwich. Wendy's is the only place close, I think, although I feel like their quality has really gone down over the past twenty years.
Which isn't to defend Chick-fil-A (seriously, I don't like their politics), but just express my curiosity about where you're getting better ones because it has to be franchises that aren't around here (not near a major population center) and I want to keep my eyes open when I travel.
I must've gotten leftovers or something because the 2 times I've been dragged to that establishment I've found the food to be severely overrated.
Honestly when I want a chicken sandwich I get Aldi redbag chicken with some pickle juice and their Ciabatta buns... better than Chik
Will try, thanks!
