Do you want to know what nasty is....

I worked for a construction company years ago that built chain store restaurants all over the US, with remodels and ground up new buildings amounting to 5 or six hundred per year. One of the superintendents who did remodeling on Churches Chicken and KFC said he had seen so much chicken blood and other gross stuff during construction he never wanted to eat chicken again.
For about 10 years I traveled up and down I-95 in my sales job. Covered from Georgia to Washington DC. I could tell you just about all of the clean bathrooms, fast food joints and motels off the interstate. When I started in the early 80's the number was much larger than when I took a much smaller territory in the 90's, especially with the motels and convenience stores. New ownership groups without saying anymore took over the stores and motels and service and cleanliness took a backseat to profit.
One time I got on the PA Turnpike and a billboard said clean rest rooms ahead. By the time I got to the Ohio border I cleaned 75 rest rooms.
OP
All it takes to quit eating at a fast food place....
....is to work there.
The opened a new Bojangles in a different part of town and opening day was incredible.....EVERYBODY had an outside trainer alongside them. They've managed to retain a first class place.
The place has remained fastidiously clean, the help is great and the food is worth stopping for. Unfortunately VERY poor management and workers can bring a place down (completely) like the one I mentioned.

Like many pf us we do not relish using mens restrooms but it was getting close and used the rest room in our local wally world. That place should have designated a World Superfund Site. Won't go into details but I definitely won't be using that restroom again-ever. Frank

Some of that is also a cultural thing. I have noticed in certain C-store/gas stations, when owned by a certain ethnic group, the cleanliness isn't there; but then you read that in their native country, their farm fields were their bathrooms as well. If that is something foreign to you, then one tends not to pay it much mind or invest scarce dollars in that aspect.

I was in a clean RR in northern Penn. this week. There was a red button on the wall to push if the RR wasn't clean and sanitary. Neat.
Note: Tip for travelers.....If the RR isn't clean........The kitchen probably isn't either.

As stated several posts, I worked for a large commercial appliance company in the Denver area. We handled several other states as well. We did all cooking equipment, HVAC, refrigeration. The 'Ole Man' used to make His statement. " If You see our trucks out back, You know We are inside working. If You see them out front then You know it's clean and has great food." There are lot's of places I still won't eat at.
Today the guys on the radio were talking about a restaurant that got closed down because fluid from a rotting corpse upstairs was leaking through the ceiling. Apartments above the restaurant. I suppose that sort of thing happens sometimes.

If you can't smell a corpse that decayed in such a setting, the food is either really bad, or really good.
If it was next door to larry's west the restaurant closed along with the exits for construction new clover leaf ramps. Yes nasty bathroom means nasty kitchen and poor management . I went into a McDonalds and walked out after seeing dirty floor , tables and overflowing trash cans

Just like the making of sausages and laws , you REALLY don't want to ever see the kitchen of any fast food establishment specializing in fried chicken .
