Their twitter account isn’t as compromised as their food is.

Yeah, right...compromised. Ask Target how pissing off customers worked for them. McCrap, you’re losing revenues. Lose some more and blame it global warming, cow farts, Martians or whatever. Surely it can’t be the clown philosophy running the company.

You sell crap, over-price food...that’s all you do. You’re not important. Keep forgetting what you do and go political, hamburger vendor.

I’m not naive. This was probably an employee broadcasting his/her views.

They still didn’t disown the remarks. And that puke Robert Gibbs is the company’s spokesmouth. Screw ‘em.

That was what I also noticed, they did not deny that might be their corporate attitude.

This is the guy who controlled the Twitter feed, and all social-media outlets, etc...

Coincidence?

Glory Osky! That’s the same way I felt about Obamacare. But I didn’t feel compelled to hack computer accounts to air my grievances.
