Well, no. It used to be, up until maybe the 70's. McDonalds held control over stores with an iron first. The thing you could always depend on with them was no matter where you travel you KNEW what you were getting.

Those days are long gone. Now, each franchise can be very different, dirty or clean, fresh food or old. I had to quit going to McDonalds because I drink Diet Coke and what many of them served did not taste anything like Diet Coke. I don't know if it was a cleanliness issue or if the franchise was using an off brand, but I gave up year ago.

I tried the one at Magnolia and it served actual Diet Coke and is convenient to grab a breakfast sandwich when we have to go to Gainesville early for a doctors appointment.
