     There are infinite possibilities to create your local McDonald's an utter McHell. Don't consider it illegal (most of it isn't...) consider it more of a public service. Yeah... That's it.

     I'm also of the opinion that McDonald's standards of operations have gone to McHell since Ray Kroc passed away.
