McDonald's has screwed up my order less than any other restaurant, provided better, warmer food than any other restaurant, is cheaper for the quality than any other restaurant, and their Ronald McDonald House charity rescued my family during our darkest hour.

Sorry your AI partnership with them failed, guy.

For those unfamiliar,

>> There are over 380 Ronald McDonald Houses in 64 countries. These accommodate families with hospitalized children under 21 years of age (or 18 or 26, depending on the House), who are being treated at nearby hospitals and medical facilities. [...] Ronald McDonald Houses allow families to stay free of charge.

As far as targeted charities go, they're near the top in terms of delivering something everyone agrees is good.

That hasn't been my experience at all. Not sure where you are, but in the Phoenix area, I have gone several multi-year periods not spending anything at McDonald's. They had messed up my order more times than getting it right.

Worst was going ketovore... how the hell hard is it to put two pieces of meat in a box without a bun and nothing on it? OR getting 3x "2 strips" of bacon and counting to 6.
