McDonalds as a company has fine food quality based on the fresh hot and delicious McDonalds I got in Japan. I believe McDonalds US has a store management and personnel problem, i.e. that no one gives a shit. Even after the “fresher” Quarter Pounders the meat was warmer but I sometimes got buns so dry and stale they were falling apart in the box. Sure theres lots of timers and tech to make sure workers can’t burn the fries but it appears to me no one in charge of overall quality or consistency.

That's what happens when you have a culture that so heavily looks down on people who work these kinds of jobs. Failures who couldn't make it in school work at Mcdonalds they say, and failures they'll get, making their burgers.

Yeah, the attitude of Japan towards these workers is vastly different.
