    Well yeah…McDonald’s has never been great, but it was always cheap and fast. Now it’s just fast. Blame whatever, but inflation didn’t rise 100 percent…their prices did.

    Another corporation who though it was their customers DUTY to deliver a profit to their shareholders.

    Do Chipotle next?

    Having the orange man inside you and then a huge recall from poisoning people is not good for sales.

    While the US returned to growth in the latest results with a 0.3% rise in sales, international markets were down by 2.1%, driven by France and the UK. Net profits fell by 3% to $2.3bn.

    Oh no. They only made 2.3 Billion dollars whatever will the shareholders do?

    My local McDonald’s doesn’t function as a restaurant at this point. I went for Chinese takeout yesterday. Went to the buffet, crammed a takeout box with a couple pounds of lo mein and three different kinds of chicken, paid about $8, drove past the McDonald’s at 6 PM, I think they had one customer. At dinner time.

    McDonald’s: If you can afford to eat here, you have much better options.

    The ‘standard’ menu is shit and the ‘good’ stuff cycles in and out of sale. I don’t bother going because I don’t know whether they’re currently offering the stuff I actually want. What a shit concept.

      They toom the idea that the McRib being limited time increased sales when it was availae and are trying to do the same thing with the rest of the menu plus limiting less ridiculous prices behind a shitty app.

      They are shooting themselves in both feet.

    Its a loss when they experience a loss. It will take that for them to accept they are gouging or more to the point its a problem for them.
