The McDonald’s in Rome (specifically, the one near the Spanish Steps) is pretty darn nice, NGL. I got a gelato there once, which is better than anything I ever got at an American McDonalds.
(Ironically for the grandparent commenter’s point, I visited two McDonald’s on that trip specifically to see what might be different about them in other countries. The other one was in the Amsterdam airport during my layover, whereupon I got a McKrocket. It was suitably weird.)
What you are paying for is a standardised experience.
There is a reason people visit Rome or Vietnam and still go to McDonalds: predictable, reliable experience.
But I can build a hamburger at home for less money.
In 3.7L?
QED steambox is the PC version of McDonald’s in Rome or Vietnam
