I guess we're not "Lovin it!"
Good grief. What was this "Payin Wit Lovin!" promotion they just had?
Having customers perform "tricks" to get "free" food?
I have not gone to a McDonalds in years. Not only is the food and service horrible, but the company has been "ghettoized."
From promotions and advertising to the crowds of loiterers they attract, to the wonderful "advertising" of employees and patrons getting violent with "beat downs", I avoid the place like the plague.
The media won't tell you that though. They will blame it on "America's changing palate."
Yeah, right.

One problem is their fries don’t taste like they used to. Also they should ditch their breakfast oatmeal because it is absolutely horrible.

Bring back the beef-tallow and cottonseed oil cooked fries.
Bring back the Styrofoam containers.
Bring back the heat lamps.
Bring back "You deserve a break today" and start appealing to suburbanites again.

Consumer needs and preferences have changed, wouldn't have anything to do with the REAL unemployment numbers, would it?

I think they sold it. We have one in Albuquerque, and it’s always jammed. I can’t imagine how it could survive with all the great New Mexican multi-generational hole in the wall restaurants here.
To: SkyPilot
I think the "realism" imposed upon the mascots may have hurt sales.

I am here in downtown Chicago and there are more MacDonald’s than Starbucks! I mean like one on every other corner!
Also Walgreen’s are almost as populous.
Next to the Chase Bldg, there is a freaking MacDonald’s ATTACHED to a Chinese Noodle place!
MacDimSum?

One problem is their fries dont taste like they used to. It was cooked in a mixture of 95% beef tallow and about 5% cottonseed oil. Our high school cooked their fries the same way. They were actually better than the burgers themselves.
What's ironic is that beef tallow is healthier than vegetable oil, or whatever the Hell oil they're using now. Vegetable oil is completely unnatural to the body and goes through a chemical process. Yet they caved to the food Nazis and the vegans, and now they're suffering the consequences of what happens when you pander to the Left.

So the “I’m Lovin’ It” campaign attracted exactly the demographic they were going for, it seems.

Bingo!
(or, worse!)
Haven’t been to a McD’s in years, and have NO intention of EVER returning.
