As long as they keep my double quarter pounder with cheese I will pay the price in Washington - much cheaper in Wyoming.

When I was in Israel in ‘99, I think a burger, fries and drink was $10.
Israel was very expensive.

The food is too expensive.
The staff is too small.

People don’t want to work at McDonald’s (or Burger King) because the wages are too low. So everyone is overworked and unhappy, the lines are long, the wait for “fast food” is too long and the whole experience sucks.

But by all means, spend a few billion to improve the lighting. That will help.

The McDonald’s nearest to me is sometimes a violent place. I wouldn’t take small children there. But it’s also very busy. So I doubt if they’ll close it.

How will that problem be addressed?

🤔

McDonald’s used to actually be a “happy place.” Now from the drab architecture and style of the buildings coupled with the food, prices, and service and it doesn’t seem very happy now.

Nope, still not going there…

Will they offer burgers that don’t look like they were run over by a truck?

You can still feed a family of four for under $5 there as long as they are all dead.

Revert to the original method and recipe for French fries.

Lose the DEI employees. If I walk in to any fast food joint and notice a good number of “diverse” workers, I walk out. Not eager to be served bodily fluids in my food.

A good start would be to actually have employees who are fluent enough in English to make themselves understood to customers.

The proposed 3 day course in hand to hand combat for the counter people will help but it should be expanded to at least 10 days training for some locations.

It's not an easy fix. They could return to how it was in 1979, but could they do it at prices that anyone would go there?

Back in the day, they had a smaller menu, and if you went at peak hours, they had a bunch of pre-made sandwiches there ready to go.

I want 2 cheeseburgers, fries, and a Coke. They turned around, grabbed the 2 cheeseburgers that were sitting there, grabbed the fries that were already in the bag, filled your coke, and you had a 45 second transaction.

They can't afford to have 5 of every sandwich they sell sitting there. So you have to wait for it to be made. Maybe the quality is better, but eh, maybe not.

Of course back in the day, you couldn't work the counter even if you had bad acne (look it up). Now you probably couldn't hire fresh faced kids for under $25 an hour.

Make the double cheeseburger like it was before and we’ll be fine. What they’ve done to their cheeseburgers is the wrong direction.

“Using the app?”

Not a good choice of greeting at the drive thru first thing in the morning. Or any time of day.

When I worked Security, one of my regular assignments was the local McDonald's on Friday and Saturday nights.

Never had any incidents, but I got a lot of glares from certain people.
