I'm sad that these restaurants are what I'll be faced with if I ever visit Glasgow. I visited the UAE and McDonalds, Hardees, KFC, and Burger King were by far the most common places to eat there; much more common than local restaurants.
There used to be McDonalds on university avenue near UW in Seattle, they closed it down sometime after I graduated. That was a high traffic store also, so it must have been a lease issue.
