I sometimes take my youngest daughter to Burger King. The food is terrible but the coffee is alright. My daughter, in typical kid-fashion, doesn't mind the food. For her, life is salty and sweet and bitter and tastebud-subtlety is beyond her. So I take her to Burger King and order a coffee and let her play on the giant two-story kid-sized hamster playset (which is the real reason we come here).
If she's lucky there will be other hamster-kids there to play with and I find it quite enjoyable to listen to them all playing and whooping and sliding and thumping around. It's always a trial getting her to come down and put her shoes on and leave. She always says goodbye to each kid there and seems really sad to go. She says she sometimes misses her 'little-while friends' whom she'll never see again.
There's nothing like kids to change your perspective on something. Now, when we visit Burger King, and I look at my watch and think it's time to go, I order another coffee and let my daughter play a while longer.

My daughter was saddened to find that our local BK pulled down their hamster set.
