No offense, but McDonald's is not a good example for your scenario.

if you're out getting a coffee and a bagel as a 30 or 40 year old[...]

I do, and I am! And if I want a decent bagel and cup of coffee, McDonald's will literally be the very last place I consider. (Well, most days it's a breakfast burrito, but the point stands) McDonald's is one of the greatest examples of enshittification because they pay their employees shit, they're as expensive as a nearby restaurant where they prepare your meal from scratch by a chef, and the quality is terrible.

Thant's funny. Here in Canada. People prefer McDonalds over Tim Hortons. Tim's used to be OUR go to place for coffee.

Yup, fast food has become quite expensive to the point that a local snack joint will have better quality and make you full for less. Still, people go to fast food places. I believe it is the comfort of the known, of not having to think about whether a place is sanitary or which of the scary middle eastern shawarma guys has good value for money and which will sell you microwaved shit. People don't like to think
