You know it's bad when Americans won't buy burger.

The shrinkflation and price increases would have nothing to do with it all. Mcsmall mac is comical.

Edit: seems that some people dont know what sarcasm is. Thats sarcasm for the uninitiated...

I vote with my spending. If I’m doing all the work ordering, then I should see cheaper prices. McDs is double-dipping. Saving on wages and trying to charge more. Nope.

I stopped going to McDonalds around 2004 after seeing Super-Size Me (which didn't really convince me of anything other than what I already knew; Fast food in general is gross).

A few years later, I was hanging out with some friends and someone wanted a drink or something, so we walked in, and the smell was overwhelming, and disgusting. It wasn't different, it was the exact same McDonalds smell, it was just gross as fuck.

About a decade after that, I was dating someone who wanted some of their fries (they were having a bad day and wanted comfort food). So I drive over there, just order the fries (everything else she wanted was already at home), and head home. The entire time, my car was filling with this gross, oily, I-don't-know-what smell of those fries. It occurs to me that I could only define it as "smelling like McDonalds".

Mind you, I've gotten fries at Wendy's, Jack in the Box, Arby's, etc. None of them smell gross. They smell like salty potatoes (except any place that has curly fries; they all seem to be from the same supplier, and they're gross).

I haven't been back to McDonalds in probably another 10 years, but I can only imagine that my first reaction would be to wretch, and my second reaction would be to leave. I have no idea how they fucked things up so bad, I had them all the time as a kid. I still eat Wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches, they're fine. wtf.

I went to one for the first time in years because I was starving and a shitty hash brown, breakfast sandwich and coffee sounded good. coffee half full, no hash brown and the sandwich gave me a three day bout of food poisoning. never again, I would rather not eat.

I'm in Canada and I tell my kids about the days when McDonald's jr chicken or cheeseburgers were a $1 regular price. I even remember McDonald's doing a $1 big Mac promotion. I ate like 50 big Macs that month

I don't care other than economy is a powerful predictor of election outcome. I think we are due for a market contraction, and I've been out of work for 4 months, but I'm hoping it can hold on for another quarter.

They have been busy closing restaurants in the center of Stockholm lately, a few years back they closed the first ever McDonnald's restaurant in Sweden, they also closed the highly popular restaurant at Norrmalmstorg at the same time....

The only good experience I’ve ever had at McDonalds was a food fight in baltimore in 2007. Cops came, it was fucking wild.
