You would think these fast food joints ex Burger King Tim hortons McDonalds and many more  
With the daily cash flow in the thousands and some of them even the high thousands  
That they could repair their parking lots drive thrus and even the entrance to the place  
It is so bad at some u face major car damage just for wanting a burger or a coffee

I don't think any are that bad to say wreck your car lol there are way more city streets worse off. And don't quote me but I think a lot of these places don't owns the property maybe a couple of them but timmies by ct is probably owned by a big company that owns the land for the old sobeys,ct,ctgasbar, staples,and timmies and maybe even bk but I think bks separate they might own there property.the only other one besides bk I can think of that maybe own the property would be mc Donald's on Richmond.

They just need to leverage their relationship with the party responsible for the ramp/lot/road. This isn't limited to just fast-food joints, but really needs to be expanded to business lots in general.  
 
Public pressure from the customers is, sadly, usually the only way to kickstart a process that (in my opinion) should occur naturally where the businesses and property owners work together to ensure that the property is in acceptable condition. This would includes performing upgrades as-needed to accommodate expanded traffic as well as basic maintenance.  
 
-McDonalds' lot in Neepawa is in a reprehensible state.  
Giant Tiger/McDonalds' access ramp to Vic, needs different design curbing, and also just needs to be dug-up and replaced to address the underlying asphalt spalling every single spring. While they're at it, put an exit to 26th st from there to alleviate the Vic exit, reduce traffic thru the Clay Pot lot, and discourage left-turning onto vic which would be safer, I always go around the block by Massey if I need to go West from this place.  
 
The Keystone Center grounds... might as well grind it up to gravel, would be safer on vehicles and less embarrassing for the visitors to our city who must endure it.  
 
Sobey's West end - it's come a long way with recent repairs... but took entirely too long and still has crappy curbs onto Centennial  
 
Timmies/PetroCan/Quizno's on the hill, just wow!  
 
Worst ever candidate: just you TRY to go through the lot at Subway in Melita! You could easily damage an RV or low car .

Gets my vote for the worst one, close second is Tim's on the hill.

Would be the entrance to Burger King by Humpty‘s. You have to go so slow to get in there that people are honking at you behind you, meanwhile they have to go slow to not damage their car either

from the gas protesters (which should work, in this case): if the parking lot doesn't meet your standards, don't eat there. Let them know why you're not eating there. Enough people do this, maybe the issues will get fixed.  
 
Note that this approach doesn't work for successfully protesting gas prices.

McDonald's/Giant Tiger entrance is the one that immediately came to mind. Yes, they need to fix the pavement. Also, I agree that they need to remove the existing curb for turning right on Victoria when leaving. The curb needs to round more widely so that the vehicles back wheels don't hit it. Right now people have to make a wide turn to avoid hitting it. I would also like to see painted lines so that one car could turn right while another goes straight across Victoria or turns left. There is enough room for vehicles to turn in from Victoria at the same time. Reworking the curbing would be a big improvement.  
Yes, the Burger King entrances are bad too.
