In Canada, A&W has cheaper prices for WAY better quality food. It was a few years back we were enjoying some “as a treat” and realized it was not just significantly better than McD’s, but also much cheaper, and we decided we just weren’t going back.
My household is partial to a couple of chicken buddy burgers in a time crunch.
Holy shit I’m involved in a similar situation - except we really, REALLY want it gone - it’s just a game of “if you give a mouse a cookie” trying to upgrade all the similarly fragile downstream stuff so we don’t blow up the entire operation when we switch.
