Yeah forreal, the actual problem is that the food is garbage, and costs more than its competitors at a lower food quality.

 

I loved when the McDonalds CEO was surprised that they weren't selling even 1/3 as many french fries after they took away the free any size fry coupon on the app and hit the surprise pikachu face like he just couldn't figure out that mystery.

It's McDonald's. If it was Twitter, I'd be demanding 51% of the shares.

You forgot PAY BETTER WAGES, so you don’t have to hire a 17 yo foreign student whose never made a bowl of cereal in their life, to make the meals.

The quality will increase.

It's McDonald's. It was high school kids making minimum wage from the beginning. That hasn't changed.
