She appears to go to McDonald’s less than the Starbucks customers who go to Starbucks two or three times a day.

McDonald’s actually has better quality coffee than Starbucks but they missed that trend and are playing catch up. Went there alot as a kid but it’s definitely one of the things that fell out of fashion. You can get fat eating “upscale” quick service too so I agree no reason to be snobby about it.
My immigrant FIL loves McDonald’s and Burger King. I think he always associated it with America as a kid. Our global brand for better or most would say worse.
If you assume that about 80% of their revenue comes from the most loyal 20% of their customers, I have no problem believing a devoted fan base of middle aged moms buying breakfast accounts for significant amount business. Nearly 70% of American women (and men) are overweight or obese and you can bet they’re not eating celery.
