I cannot verify it, but I’m pretty sure the basic Mac Hamburger has gotten smaller in the past two years.
The bun is about the same, but the burger itself seems to have shrunk. The price has not been reduced, of course.
I suspect ChatGPT had something to do with this. McDonalds found some positions could be eliminated with AI.
The stock market may be something to watch tomorrow.
They have trouble hiring people thanks to Biden's covid policies and they are paying $17/hour just to recruit entry level people. And they have massive price increases on their food in a declining economy.
Not good. Welcome to Bidenville.
I guess this is a safer way to fire people than doing so at the office. And laid off, no, lets be honest, fired. Very, very few people get re-hired. Laid off might sound better talking to mom or grandma, but these folks are being fired.
I passed on ordering a $4.29 large fry today, at a Connecticut McD’s.
Maybe I caused the final
Decision to layoff— sorry folks.
Off the top of my head, I believe McD’s market cap and/or stock price is huge compared
To 5 yrs ago
Wtf w layoffs??
Jim Carrey movie Fun With Dick and Jane had him get revenge on an Enron type corporation after the bosses screwed with everyone’s lives, jobs and income.
Like Office Space, one guy somewhere could be plotting now.
I think inflation is starting to spike again based on some recent price increases for food.
With the Uniparty financing the Replacement Americans pouring over the border, these jobs were expected to be full-time employment which is unsustainable.
The other issue is that once location is removed from the equation due to Pfascist lockdowns, and people order from anywhere, McDonald's can't compete. Their selling point was that it was cheap and convenient.
The price is so high relative to the price of hamburger I just cook my own. It isn’t worth it.
Their local operators shouldn’t have hired so many drug addicts.
We all know the real reasons why McDonald’s is “restructuring.”
The urban, ghetto ferals are destroying the stores.
McDonald’s should close all stores in the inner-cities and build smaller locations in suburban and rural areas.
And bring back the fries cooked in beef tallow.
We love McDonalds. Go in, order on your phone, plug in your laptop, log in their free wi-fi and have your order delivered to your table. Spend the afternoon on-line with unlimited free refills.
R.E.M. song in 1987
Six o’clock, T.V. hour, don’t get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
One of the closest ones to my home is part McDonalds, part gas station.
My feeling is sales have been down for 10 years and its finally came to a head.
Remote work decreases the likelihood of workplace violence?
Bugging out of Chicago?
Too expensive, and I can make a superior burger and fries for far less than I can buy at a Fast Food chain these days.
When that equation was reversed, I rarely bothered to make my own.
MCD stock has done well YTD. Started at 264.33 and closed Friday at 279.61.
I wonder what it will look like Monday evening.
The original McDonalds fries are cooked in Beef Tallow. Order some and relive your youth.
