Mcdonalds are spotless where I live. You must live in a slum.
People DIDN’T participate in all day breakfast. That’s why it went away.
“Every time I try to order a milkshake, the surly black female employee rudely informs me that the machine doesn’t work.”
Having worked in fast food, I know the shake machine is a PIA. Has to be throughly cleaned everyday. Germs just love dairy products once they stop being cold. Food inspectors check them first.
Most breakfast items until 1 PM here but I miss later in the afternoon...
BOTH times, within a half-hour had severe stomach cramps and then the runs all day long. They're either running filthy kitchens or they are not keeping the meat at a proper holding temperature.
It’s a great place for groups that don’t agree well. You got one person that want Chinese, another that wants Italian, and somebody craving a burger? Go to Cheesecake Factory, problem solved. They aren’t the best at any of it, but they’re pretty good at all of it. And I do like their cheesecakes.
Unless you’re at this one...

Thanks for your analysis, but I’d rather see factual evidence, like McDonald’s company earnings statements with their profit and loss sections since the time they incorporated all-day breakfast.
The owner of a plumbing company that does a lot of work for restaurants told me there’s no way to tell which places are the best kept without seeing details in the back rooms. Completely dependent on individual managers, not the chain.
All day breakfast was successful. Some locations have gone rogue and still doing it. AD breakfast and some other menu items were dropped as part of fewer employees and social distancing, etc, related to covid.
Agreed, usually depends on the franchise.
Here, most of the breakfast menu ends at 10:30 a.m. They have a much smaller offering...breakfast sandwich until 2 p.m. No biscuit sandwiches though. Only English muffin sandwich. I’m retired, and usually don’t go to bed until 4 or 5 a.m., so there’s no way I’d be getting up before 10 a.m., and run out just to get a sandwich. I used to enjoy being able to grab a couple of breakfast sandwiches and a coffee for supper, but that went out the window. McDonald’s and other companies used the lockdown as an excuse to get rid of things they didn’t want to have to deal with. McDonald’s went kicking and screaming to all-day breakfast, and they found the perfect time to get rid of it. My argument is that whenever I’d order, even a burger, and fries...no special order, I’d have to pull up and wait for it, or the French fries to be cooked. So what is the problem with cooking me a breakfast sandwich instead, since I have to wait anyway? I didn’t mind waiting, and would prefer waiting in order to get what I want. Not that I went there very often, but McDonald’s lost me as a customer.
Due to celiac disease (the gluten thing), scrambled eggs and bacon is about the only thing I can eat at McD’s. I miss not being able to order it at any time.
I hear ya'. Their breakfast sandwiches were the only thing there that I liked.
Have your tried Arby’s shakes? That’s where I get mine. And you can choose the size you want.
Has McDonlards finally embraced hair trigger violence culture?
I just ordered an egg&cheese biscuit one minute ago (west coast).

It failed. The cost to reward ratio was out of whack. Americans who want breakfast after breakfast don’t go to McD.
News articles? No thanks. I want to see their actual documents.
