    Hello.

    If there was an error on the one month coffee thing they must have done it nationwide, they did that here also.
    And, yes! the coffee at McDonalds is now excellent!
    Some of the salads are not bad, even the side salads are OK.

    haven't had a coffee at mcd's in years ... i suppose their new stuff is worth trying--their old stuff was weak. many locations have wayport wi-fi, but i find those places too busy to stick around and compute.

    the starbucks i frequent doesn't rush people out (not even the guy who never seems to have a current beverage and has been napping in the corner for hours, which is kinda annoying). they also remember people's names, drinks, ...

    I think Starbucks in 6-land is most likely a lot different than Starbuck's elsewhere. Especially in San Fran :)

    There is a difference in burgers between different McD's, and for that matter, booger-flings (Thanks Tim, for that wonderful nick-name!). Each of those nearest to me are just horrible -- they don't seem to have grasped the concept of "hot" meat...the last burger from each has been disgustingly tepid.

    That's a pity. Big Macs have historically been a stomach settler for me. If I was feeling a little "off", I'd get a Big Mac meal & it took good care of me.

    Albi - was that Red Roof in "Rochester" actually the one in Henrietta? I stayed in the Super 8 there many times when my parents were alive when I was driving out to Michigan. Did you get to the George Eastman House?

    this is the starbucks i patronize. there are, basically, two kinds of reviews shown in the listing: reviews from regulars (routinely four or five stars) and reviews from others, who are annoyed that it is small (it's not a several-thousand-sq-ft place with upholstered chairs), or corporate (dude, it's a fscking starbucks!), or that, because it's small, they don't have all the facilities that they do at the uber-starbucks ... whatever.

    I have breakfast at McDonalds regularly. I tried the oatmeal and it is pretty good. Usually I go for the bacon and cheese McGriddle combo with a cinnamon bun and a yogurt. Orange juice and a caramel latte on the side. The free WiFi, free newspaper, and television with Fox News is icing on the cake.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I knew. It was an attempt at a joke that fell flat. I apologize to anyone who was offended.

    As far as fast food goes I like White Castle's and Wendy's 99 cent burgers.
