> are we really to believe that McDonalds has a rating of 4.6 out of 5?

Why shouldn’t it? You know what you are getting with McDonalds. For the price point they sell at, it is pretty good food. They are consistent. And they do a really good job with food safety, probably better than a lot of more highly rated restaurants (when was the last time you heard about an outbreak of a food borne illness at McDonalds)?

I very rarely eat at McDonalds because I don't like them for the most part. But, if I did, and I was promptly served what I ordered, why would I ding them because their burger isn't up to the standards of the (costlier) burger joint down the street or even Shake Shack.
