Sell something other than McDonald’s food?
“lets people pick the buns and toppings they want on burgers by tapping a touchscreen.”
Hmmmmm...I wonder if they’re paying the touchscreen a living wage.
Don’t mess with my McDouble!!
If he wants to beat Chipotle, all he has to do is post a sign that reads:
CCW Patriots Welcome.
Bring Your little friend.
It would probably cut down on robberies and belligerent youts as well.
Chipotle is amazing. The menu is very simple and they give you so much food that you usually have to take home leftovers, and you can get really healthy meals there that taste great.
Very simple menu. The only problem is that there's always a line there, so the wait can be a little long.
That's a roundabout way of saying they are going to fire half their employees as soon as they can.
McDonalds is so stupid. Their problems began when they started kowtowing to the liberal mantra that fast food sucks and isn’t healthy. They took away everything that made their food taste good and substituted “healthy” alternatives.
McD’s needs to tell the liberals to FU-off. Start a Classic menu that reintroduces food as it was made in the past to include fries cooked in beef tallow.
But, alas. They won’t do this. They’ll keep running from the Democrats who are killing their sales model until they are finally out of business.
“To offer greater customization, he also said the company planned to expand its “Create Your Taste” offering that lets people pick the buns and toppings they want on burgers by tapping a touchscreen.”
Um...done by Burger King (which, AMAZINGLY, is STILL in business!) THIRTY YEARS AGO:
“Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don’t upset us...”

I’ve been to McDonalds maybe twice in seven years. Both times it is when I was on a long road trip and eating while I was driving.
They have overpriced themselves now. Used to be the best deal in town for the poor.
“The program is currently being offered in Southern California”
Does this mean McDonalds is going to start serving tacos?
is it just me, but the burgers they sell look much smaller than I remember it
McDonalds is losing share to chains like “5Guys” and “In-N-Out”. Both of those chains use higher quality hamburger patties, and better toppings. Why would I buy a hamburger from McDonalds when I could get a better burger from somewhere else?
I can order online from 5Guys, set the time for pickup, walk in, pick up burger, walk out. No bleeping brainer.
they gonna make better food?
mcd’s is dead to me.
I can’t stand Cr’Apple Bees but, found myself eating at one last near the border.
Touch screen ordering and I got exactly what I wanted.
No freakin dressing or cheese or damned croutons on my salad
The upscale fast food joints like Chipotles and Panera Bread are eating McDonalds' lunch - literally.
Used to be a time when you saw clean-cut families sitting at McDonalds restaurants. Businessmen in suits and ties as well. Now the restaurants are full of shabbily dressed slobs who smell and don't speak English very well.
The restaurants themselves are mostly pigsties. Ray Kroc would have a heart attack if he walked into any one of the stores today. The bathrooms are nasty. The parking lots are full of rubbish. The floors and tables inside are slimy as they are wiped down with filthy mops and dirty dishrags.
Not sure if this ship can be turned around. McDonalds has 35,000 restaurants out there so they are going to be around for a while. But they are definitely in decline.
Mc Donalds was good tasting and fast when they served hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, shakes, and a few other limited drinks.
