You know since you brought that up, I've acquired some Junk Food Wisdom over the years that I must share, and I think it applies to any and all fast food places:
1- With notable exceptions for (real) Mexican food and sometimes chicken places, I try to only patronize fast food joints in the less

urban

areas, because the quality and service and cleanliness are simply much better, like it or not, I have found this to be true. Plus, you have less reason to worry about getting shot or rolled....
2- Go to places that are busy, at least during your meal time, because even though you might wait longer, the product is turning over fast, so you're much more likely to get very fresh, hot-off-the-grill food.
3- Ordering special things, like "extra this" or "no that" will also make you wait a little longer, but get you fresher food, usually. If they pull shit like scraping off the mayo and then squirting mustard, using a burger from under the heat lamps for 4 hours, don't go back.....
4- Never raise a ruckus, or "pop off" in a place you will be eating again, no matter how bad they fuck up your order. If it's so bad you have to return/exchange it, try to be civil and not all pissy. Especially if the manager and employees are

urban

in fact in certain environments it's best to just suck it up and not come back.....I'll leave this to the readers' imaginations........
5- Try to be nice to the food-monkeys; it's a shitty low-paying job, and you usually have to wear an embarrassing uniform..... and they're handling your food..... I worked at a BK when I was in high school, and it's amazing how many people are just total assholes from the moment they walk/drive in......and you're handling their food......
Feel free to add your thoughts or experiences in these matters, or ignore it, or eat shit and die.
