From there, you can click "Customize" which allows you to update your card preferences.
In your case you'd want to update the work location under "Places". Tap your work place, tap the address and update it with any place you are interested in travelling to on a daily basis. (This is actually the "Daily Commute" location, it's just automatically labelled as work) Alternatively, you could just relabel it from "Work" to "McDonalds" and then you'd at least overcome the 100% failure rate issue.
This is Customize menu is also where you can give Now your local cable provider for TV schedules, sports teams and stocks for tracking and aggregated access to all your general preferences for Now as well.
I've set my work address to home. The following morning it tells me I have a 23 minute commute to McDonalds again.
I'm going to reset the device tonight.
I think the work identification routine is probably pretty simple. Determine home by where the phone spends a long stasis/charging period, likely overnight, and then find the most common recurring location that visited during the day during weekdays over a prior period. It's probably good for the vast majority of people.
It appears that it doesn't understand that I could possibly work from home and went to lunch that one day and its heuristics are broken in some way.
I've turned it off now and I'm happy (plus I get another hour or so out of the battery)
