It's not that bad, but it's certainly among the least impressive in
Paris. The street is nicknamed "Bacteria Alley," although I don't know
of anyone who has gotten sick there.

TBH, I haven't seen the insides of one of those things for years. On
one the rare occassions that I do touch the stuff it's when I'm dead
tired after work and use the drive through for a quick burger (be it
McDonalds or Quick).
I'd prefer a pita/kebab or some good ol' (Belgian) fries with a snack
on the side anyday.

You must have a stomach that any old goat would be proud of.
"Not that bad" ?! Please.

Both Quick and McDonald's have all these problems to some degree. Quick
is more likely to contain bone chips; McDonald's has a nasty and
criminally negligent habit of locking emergency doors in its
restaurants.

Do you remember which place it was? (I'll grant that it's hard to tell
them apart.)

McDonald's lawyers are going to be real busy if a fire ever breaks out
in a McDonald's, with the emergency exits locked. Ditto for any cases
of food poisoning.

Take a look in the kitchen sometime. You may be surprised.

Isn't it also the fault of the local authority for not enforcing fire
regulations?
You could always give them a call and make a complaint.
