yet, unfortunately, some of us persist in not being able to afford 'restaurants,' so we make do with what we have.
i, personally, call mcd a restaurant. restaurant meaning a place to grab a bite to eat. being born and raised in montana i have no way to discern between cafes, restaurants, and diners. except, maybe, diners are the restaurants with only two rows of seats/tables. ignorance is, as they say, bliss.
