coopted by McDonalds best employees
I can tell that you haven't spent much time in McDonalds in the last decade or so!
I honestly can't see how a start rating system can be co-opted or have its meaning changed but fair enough. Each to their own. On a Longines dial it means tested in 5 positions, on a McDonalds employees badge fifteen years ago it means that the employee is experienced. Just not an issue for me.

It's fine they've been doing it for ages but it does look pretty crap IMO and has been coopted by McDonalds best employees, Trustpilot and every other review platform which, due to the ubiquity of the 5 star symbol, has now irrevocably changed its meaning.
