No kidding. And at Taco Bell the Burrito Supreme ain’t so supreme any more!

One thing caught my eye. I liked the movie “The Founder” about Ray Kroc with Michael Keaton. His true stroke of genius was realizing that McDonalds could reap vast profits from owning the land and renting it to franchisees. I see “rent relief” as an aspect of this plan. I have no idea what the current rent structure is, but with shrinking products and higher prices, and here in CA a $20 minimum wage, this is probably a smart thing to do

All of their food has been downsized. I'm eating much more at home these days, just had a new HEB open within a couple of miles.

McDonalds will need to retrain their employees in multiple languages, too. The two McDonalds in my 'burb are mostly middle-aged Mexican women. There are also a few Indian teenagers with horrible accents.
