How would you rate McDonald's according to their own criteria?

I read they use "Quality, Service, Cleanliness & Value" as a benchmark to evaluate their franchisees (link). So how would you rate them, on a pass/fail basis?

My rating:
Quality - I would not call what they serve "quality" food.
Service - It's adequate if you have a single order, say 'combo #.." don't confuse them with things like "no ice" and "extra ketchup".
Cleanliness - ranges from "adequate" to "filthy" depending on the restaurant. Overall, not very satisfactory.
Value - its cheapish and gives you plenty of calories for the buck, but there's lots of better stuff for the same, or slightly higher price.

Overall, I give them 0/4

Quality - meh
Service - I don't like my cup to be filled with ice and so I tell them that, extra ketchup, etc. and most of the times don't have an issue, but then again I check what I get before leaving the place
Cleanliness - never had an issue, urinal FTW?
Value - eh, whatever

Other > Wendy's > Mcdonald's - I prefer Wendy's, however avoid fast food if possible, it's been a few weeks since I've had fast food

For $2.14 it's tough to beat a 6 piece McNuggets and a double cheeseburger.

Health and service be damned.

Seriously, you guys are comparing McDonalds with the f'n Ritz.

For dirt cheap food, you get a lot for what you pay for, I cant even buy anything at the grocery store for less than a couple bucks.

So long as McD's keeps the 6 piece chicken nuggets on the menu, the only thing Wendy's has over them is their Chili and the Frosty. Otherwise I'll take the Double Cheese from McD's, their nuggets, and their fries over any of the offerings from Wendy's.

The best thing that McD's offered was the Spicy Chicken for a buck, but that's very region specific.

2 crispy chickens, and a caesar side salad. Take the inards of one chicken and jam it in the bun of the other slathered with Taco Bell hot sauce (discard extra bun and wipe off some of that mayo, they always put way to much on).

$3.84, IIRC...

2/4

Quality - 0/1

Their quality is about as low as a fast food place can get.

Service - 1/2

They are almost always quick to get your food to you. If they fvck it up in restaurant, they'll fix it quickly and easily.

Cleanliness - 1/3

Some of their restaurants smell like barnyards.

Value - 2/4

Hard to beat the dollar menu for the taste.

Wendy's $2.99 value meals are better deals.

6 piece McNuggets are not on the nationwide dollar menu. It must be special promotion for your region.
