“I used to think McDonald's were all the same. I am correcting myself! I go to these restaurants at all different hours and you can really tell, who is working for a check, who is there and has GREAT customer service, and then there's that miserable bunch who need to be immediately fired. McDonald's pays great wages now, so the workers should either do their job or find one that isn't in customer service. I think about all of the money that people spend there, I'm pretty sure it is the top restaurant in financial gain. Don't act like it's your restaurant, unless you treat me like it's mine. After all, we are paying your salary, and a little respect goes a long way. I ask for a few napkins, don't get an attitude because you have to pivot one more time. I'll say thank you when you give them to me. Thank you, McDonalds.”

“I mean, it's a Subway. It's not a 5 star Michelin restaurant but it is exactly what my AuHD kid needs after therapy. Also, the fact that the same people have been working there the whole time we've been going once a week I can now get my child to order their own food. Instead of just hiding behind me and whispering. The blonde woman (usually wearing green eye makeup is especially great and I'm really sorry I don't know her name.)

Taco Bell's same-store sales rose 7% in the second quarter against 3% growth across Yum, and system sales at the chain climbed 9% while Pizza Hut slipped 2%. Digital orders reached 47% of the mix. CEO Chris Turner said Taco Bell "entered Q3 in its strongest position ever" and told investors the company would move ahead as a "more focused organization positioned to accelerate growth."
