The fired CEO, Thompson, has nearly ruined the company.
I would much prefer to go to Chick Fil A. Great service, clean, the food is decent for the price, and they play Christian music on the speaker in the dining area.
The menu and store renovations in the past few years have been a huge improvement. I prefer BK burgers, but overall, McDonald’s is still my go-to fast food place.
Hmmm...I never bothered to look up the CEO for McDonalds, but I did notice a shift in their marketing over the last couple of years. The marketing was clearly directed towards a specific demographic, of which I was not a member nor did I identify with it.
Now I understand. This appears to be similar to the JC Penny CEO who decided identity marketing was more important than marketing for revenue.
McD’s is essentially for kids and teens...they’re usually dry, bland and rely on the toppings for flavor.
The quality of their burgers cannot compare to their competitors in most cases...even the so called “craft” burgers are light years better than McD’s that there really is no point in comparing them.
Discerning eaters are finding many, way better options out there.
My preferences for FF burgers in order are:
In-n-Out
5 Guys
Whataburger (had ‘em in Texas, good eats)
Carl’s
Jack in the Box
A black man has been fired? Jesse and Al better get over there.
Good coffee, crappy food.
Restaurants she managed would be clean, employees eager to serve (because if they're not helping customers, they were cleaning), and extremely fast. Rather than reward such a creative and productive force with a larger management position, the chain just left her in the position for years. When a local Chipotle opened, their district manager went to the McDonalds across the street, saw the homegrown promotional displays, asked about it, and then immediately offered her a job with Chipotle.
She's now a valued troubleshooter for the company, taking over under-performing districts and turning them around, saving thousands of jobs from restaurants which otherwise would close.
McDonalds has tons of talent within their ranks who have proven leadership skills that they should be cultivating and recruiting for corporate.
I'm really wondering where you live that you encounter all these problems and see the need to constantly post rants. Peoples' taste varies on food, but none of those problems exist here. Regarding the breakfasts, McD is probably the safest place I can go in terms of food hygiene.
McDonalds food has really gone downhill in the last few years. The service is what you expect for low wage workers/teenagers and I don’t expect perfection from them.
The food quality has really deteriorated, and they have spent too much time making their stores into a Starbuck’s-lite.
Make better food. Focus on hamburgers/cheeseburgers, fries, and a drink. Not on foo foo types of offerings that are not why one goes to McDonalds in the first place.
My Double Quarter Pounder /w cheese should be perfect when I get it, and most of the time it’s a disheveled mess, and barely edible. Make the food “off the grill” like they used to. Not out of the steamer. Pay attention to the assembly of the sandwich and the way it’s wrapped.
They have spent too much time marketing to blacks and hispanics instead of making a better burger.
Our new McDonald’s is gorgeous. A lovely patio with sculpted trees, flowers and jazz music.
I used to go there every day for my $1 Large Diet Coke until September 1 when it became the $1.79 Large Diet Coke.
I also think that the mandatory calorie count on the menu board really screwed them over. Now I won’t touch the food, it’s not worth the calories.
They have been screwing up orders regularly too.
About one in ten orders, you get more; nine out of ten, you get less/shorted.
On our “lazy day/cheap burger Wednesday” (today), the wife gets a Bacon McWrap, the hounds get cheeseburgers and I get Subway.
I don’t eat that stuff unless it’s an emergency. Fans can rave all they want, but McFood reeks.
2) Hire people with an IQ of at least 30.
3) Build restaurants that doesn't look like it is an old Burger King or an old Dublin Donuts. ( Those 3 companies are building buildings that looks the same.)
4)Go out of business ...
Ronald laughs as millions starve
And profits forever increase
Your stenching farts as they smile
They say they try to please
Plastic chairs and fake shakes
To help it all go down
Polluting your children with their lies
And trying to destroy your mind
Corporate deathburger, Ronald McDonald
Change from your five
Ankles deep in blood
Make it your career
Sell billions every year
Golden arches and Ronald smiles
Ronald laughs as billions starve
And profits forever increase
Feeding all your grain to cows
Dead children rest in peace
The stench of humans rotting
Smells just like fish filet
Your sign neglects to mention
50,000 starved today
Corporate deathburger, Ronald McDonald
Change from your five
Torture camps for cows
Slaughter and starvation
From death Corporation
Golden arches and Ronald Smiles
You say you’re Christians but you’re a fake
Multinationals on the take
Starving children deserve a break today

This is why, other then for the local eats, I will only do at most either a Wendy’s or a Subway. No fan of McD’s.
