I avoid businesses which ignore me and advertise to 12% of the population. No wonder MCD is doing crappy.
maybe McDonalds should stop supporting the ones killing them?
I had their new Guacamole-burger tonight: It was really good!
I used to eat there annually. I liked the old Egg McMuffin. But when I got one last month, it wasn’t anything like I remembered. The old ones were fried in butter and the ham was real. The new one is way different. Tasted bland.
Where I live McDonalds has been transformed into Los Donaldos, with its laughable attempt to give its “food” a Southwestern flavor that’s more palatable for illegal aliens than for original lower-middle class customers.
Yes,the left is killing off MacDonald’s, but not for the reasons that the article suggests. For the last ten years or so, the McDonald’s advertising campaign in the United States has had an urban theme that seems directed at 12% of population. Take for example, the “I’m lov’in it” ad campaign. WTF does that mean? The word is “loving” not “lov’in” and “it” is undefined. Compare that ad compaign with the highly popular and successful “Have it you’re way,” “You deserve a break today,” and the “Two all beef paddies” ad campaigns of yesteryear’s. Three decades later, I can still sing the jingles and remember the product.
The second problem is in the quest for diversity, McDonald’s has assembled a work force that can’t speak basic, grammatically correct English. I should not have to repeatedly ask, “what did you say” or state “I don’t undersstand you” when ordering something as simple as a quarter pounder with cheese, small fries, and a small Diet Coke.
Could America be growing tired of the flavors?
The comments in this thread are hilarious. The bottom line is that older people with money (the FR demo) don’t like McDonalds. As the liberal media would say: “unexpected”. ROFLMAO.
Watch a McDonalds commercial some time. They aren’t seeing us as their target market. They guy who was surprised that fries aren’t cooked in butter anymore at his “annual” trip to McDonalds is the winner of the thread! I guess “annual” to him is every 20 years.
I’ve said this before.
KFC is ten times worse than McDonald’s food health-wise.
Attacking McDonalds has been a key target of the anti-capitalist mentality since that BS, left-wing, propaganda POS “Supersize” was released.
They want to destroy this company so that they can point to it as an example of their power to destroy any company that doesn’t toe the PC/green/socialist line.
how to reduce costs at McD’s
scale back any new chemicals you’ve added to your food in the last several years..
(at least until you get the bigMacs restored to where they stop causing me to barf them up)
I quit going to Mickey Ds years ago when they began to support LIEberal causes.
That the LIEberals are destroying Mickey Ds is a piece of wonderfully appropriate schadenfreude!
Bring back the fried apple pie: perhaps the best thing ever.
Seems to me the last several years is all the do is market to black people. Honestly I see the ads and they don’t want me going there.
Yes. The left is racist and don’t want a black man as CEO of McDonalds.
McDonald’s primary business angle is real estate. If they’re “having trouble” it is because their property valuations are dropping or they’re not turning over unproductive or declining assets fast enough.
They should have been killed off 60 years ago.
They served overpriced crap when they were 13 cents each/$1 per dozen and they still serve overpriced crap!!!
don’t care if it is the right or left.
McDonalds is horrible and not worth the money.
Use to go and get an eatable burger, fries and a coke for a buck or so.
Now the food tastes like a crap sandwich and it is too expensive.
You are herded like cattle and treated like you are in an endless line at Disney land.
When McDonalds started to micro wave everything the taste went away on pretty much everything. Even the fries are not as good
McDonalds management, and their poor decisions, is what is killing off the company.
