People Shared McDonald’s Restaurants That Are in Very Weird Locations

We’re used to the prototypical McDonald’s restaurant over the years. Golden arches, red and yellow color scheme, maybe a play area for the kiddos outside.

They’re all pretty uniform for the most part… or are they?

Well, we’re here to give you a reality check, friends! Because here are some photos of McDonald’s from all over the world that are totally unique.

Take a look and enjoy!

1. That one is certainly interesting.

It really does look like a retirement home.

2. This is a cool one.

Glad this one wasn’t demolished.

3. You had to do it.

Have a presidential Big Mac.

4. Art Deco!

5. Definitely looks like a bank.

10. A medieval style.

I guess not all McDonald’s restaurants are created equal, huh?

This Fast Food Restaurant Has Great Customer Service to Go with Its Legendary Fried Chicken

Fast food is all about consistency in taste, value, and customer service. And when it comes to the latter, one fast-food titan stands above the rest: Chick-fil-A. 

No matter how long the drive thru line extends or how jammed the lobby gets with hungry kids, Chick-fil-A employees treat customers with tremendous respect and hospitality. And that’s not just me talking out of loyalty to their tenders.

According to the America’s Best Customer Service 2020 report by Newsweek and Statista, Chick-fil-A has the best fast-food customer service in America. They took home the title by edging out In-N-Out Burger and Whataburger.

The report was based on survey results from more than 20,000 U.S. customers that measured categories including range of services, accessibility, quality of communication and professional competence.

For anyone who has dined at Chick-fil-A, the first-place finish should come as no surprise. In fact, the restaurant finished fifth overall in the survey, with a score of 9.08. Considering the survey spanned more than 160 different categories of business, this was a major feather in the cap for one of the most recognizable brands in its industry.

Disney Cruise Line, Neiman Marcus, The Ritz-Carlton and Edward Jones were the only companies who outperformed Chick-fil-A in the scoresheet. Not bad for a place that’s synonymous with clever commercials featuring cows encouraging us to “Eat More Chickin.”

Providing excellent customer service is one of the main reasons the restaurant has become such a significant player in the fast-food game. Of course, it all starts from the top down. Founder Samuel Truett Cathy puts it best, stating, “We should be about more than just selling chicken. We should be a part of our customers’ lives and the communities in which we serve.”

Though Cathy passed away in 2014, it’s safe to say his legacy and vision lives on.

This Colorado Restaurant Charges Customers for Asking “Stupid Questions”

Service industry people are really going to love this story…and they’ll probably hope that their places of business will follow this restaurant’s lead.

At Tom’s Diner in Denver, Colorado, asking a stupid question will cost you. Every time a customer asks what the workers there deem to be a dumb inquiry, they are charged 38 cents…and they put it on your bill, too.

In fact, “Stupid Questions” are even listed on the menu for that very specific price of 38 cents.

Photo Credit: Zomato

Hunter Landry, the General Manager of Tom’s Diner, said, “It’s meant to be playful. It’s good to keep things light in today’s world. The majority of people really get where we’re coming from and understand it’s meant to be playful. Over the years, maybe a few people have been perturbed but the response is generally positive.”

Landry said that his uncle Tom Messina, who opened the diner in 1999, originally added the “Stupid Question” item to the menu. He added that some customers ask stupid questions on purpose to try to make the staff laugh. Two of his favorites that’s he heard are, “Are there any dues for the turkey club sandwich?” and “Does the ice have any water in it?”

So next time you find yourself in Denver, be sure to stop into Tom’s Diner. You can either tread very carefully so you won’t increase your bill, or you can push your luck and see how many extra charges you can rack up if you really want to be a smart-ass.

Jon Bon Jovi Has Two Restaurants Where People in Need Can Eat for Free

I grew up in the 1980s and was fully on-board with the music of the time, and Bon Jovi was always one of my favorite bands. Also, Jon Bon Jovi himself just always seemed like a really genuine, nice guy compared to a lot of other rock stars.

It turns out my feeling was right on the money.

In addition to his incredibly successful music career, Bon Jovi started the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation to help fight poverty and homelessness. As part of his initiative, he’s opened two restaurants in his native New Jersey called JBJ Soul Kitchen where needy people can eat for free, one in Red Bank and one in Toms River. The project was actually the brainchild of Bon Jovi’s wife, Dorothea Hurley.

There are no menu prices at JBJ Soul Kitchen, but patrons who can pay are encouraged to donate $20 and those who don’t have enough money are urged to volunteer at the restaurant.

The two restaurants have already served more than 100,000 people, and, according to their website, 54% of people paid for their meals and 46% volunteered in order to eat a meal. Reservations are not required, but those who are in need are given first priority. The meals consist of three courses, are nutritious and contain vegetables grown in the restaurant’s gardens.

Bon Jovi’s foundation also focuses on providing housing to those in need, including veterans.

What the heck, let’s end with a classic Bon Jovi tune, shall we?

Great work, Mr. Bon Jovi! Keep it up!

This Man Nails Why the Cheesecake Factory Is Such a Bizarre Restaurant

Everyone knows that The Cheesecake Factory is one of the weirdest restaurants on the planet. But what, exactly, makes it so strange? The way-too-long menu? The slightly-insane decor?

A design enthusiast wrote a Twitter thread about his take on the matter, which is that The Cheesecake Factory is a “fully immersive ‘postmodern design hellscape’ themed dining experience.” The thread has gone viral, because it’s hilarious yet surprisingly educational.

“From a design perspective that place is fuckin wild and I’ll talk a little bit about why,” Twitter user @MaxKriegerVG began.

First, he starts with some history: the restaurant apparently grew out of a Los Angeles bakery business. In 1992, they brought in hospitality designer Rick McCormack.

That’s when, @MaxKriegerVG says, “shit went off the rails. We’re talking VICTORIAN-EGYPTIAN-ROCOCO OFF THE RAILS.”

There’s the exterior’s weirdly Old World feel, then there’s the interior: “A world of aesthetic chaos that feels like a mix between a Fry’s Electronics, an overgrown Panera, and a laser tag arena. It’s sensational,” @MaxKriegerVG says.

Between the Egyptian columns, the wood paneling, and the glass dividers, the whole space is pretty much a design mess.

There’s also the odd juxtaposition of luxury and cheapness. The water tankards are plastic, as are the wicker chairs and the table. Also, all the “exotic” fake hieroglyphics and whatnot. @MaxKriegerVG calls it “surreal,” and he has a point.

He also points out the menu — excuse us, four menus — which bafflingly include advertisements “for THE RESTAURANT YOU HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN TO DINE AT.”

“After wandering the menu a while, helplessly, you order and the food arrives. It’s good. Not bad, not great, but good,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, the actual cheesecake is very much the afterthought of this restaurant, despite the name.

Point taken — The Cheesecake Factory is a fascinating study in aesthetics, design, and capitalism.

But more importantly, where did this guy learn all this Cheesecake Factory history and how can we sign up for the course?
