I would say Greggs, but since that's been taken - the West Cornwall Pasty Co seems to be opening up all over the place lately. Or maybe it's just the train stations I wind up in. A slightly more pretentious Greggs.
What's your country's McDonald's?

Man, I love Oporto, but there are hardly any of them in Melbourne. Probably a good thing for my wallet and waistline, honestly.Addendum_Forthcoming said:
Yeah, it's kind of weird. I get why Sydney has more stores in general. Birthplace of Oporto and franchises often concentrate locally then go out ... but I think NSW has like ... 90 of the 137 Oportos in Australia? Melbourne proper has only 2.Bilious Green said:
And if I'm going to eat fast food, Oporto is definitely a solid choice all around. Even their chips taste better.

Uhhh...yup. Yeah. We have McDonald's here. Here there is McDonald's.bastardofmelbourne said:
It sucks, though. Probably because of their initiatives to hire unemployed teenagers. Specifically, the ones who couldn't be hired elsewhere. The ones who smoke crack and smell of poo.
There's this Mongolian noodle place I go to sometimes.
They just serve noodles. Nothing else. You grab your bowl, you pick your noodles, vegetables, meat and sauce yourself, take it to the cook and he fries it up for you as you watch.

Japan has McDonald's, just with flavour variants. But we have a thing called Matsuya, which has rice bowls with various toppings as well as burger patties. It's cheap, tastes decent enough but it's just counter seating so no good for groups.
In Russia we have Kroshka Kartoshka, though it isn't as popular as it used to be. It's closer to Subway than to McDonalds. Build your own potato with custom filling.
Tesco Express in London.
For some reason there needs to be one at every Tube station, junction and high street at are about 1km apart.

There's one fast food chain called "Habib's", and another one called "Bob's", but they're much smaller than McDonald's. They're all equally expensive, though. For the price of ONE Big Mac, I can probably buy enough food for 2 days.
Since op got Tim's I guess I'll put in an honourable mention to Chinese food places, at least in western canada. If a town is large enough to have a busted looking gas station then it's large enough to have a family owned Chinese place. Typically they are a mix of traditional and hyper westernized stuff , but almost always prepared with a surprising amount of pride and care.
