I tend to agree with Rush on this, but would add that McDonald’s has introduced other processes that make it difficult for their food truly to be fresh and hot on delivery. There is something in the chain that invites cold and stale, even during their busiest hours. I was a McDonald’s consumer almost from their earliest days (and it was Des Plains, IL, not California that saw the chain’s beginning). Their food has morphed into a product that does not leave me wondering why their sales have plummeted.
Rush was referring to the original McDonalds, owned by the brothers McDonald, that Kroc eventually bought out. That chain was begun in CA.
Rather than working to make the food hot and fresh for YOU, the staff makes it ahead so it’s easier for THEM.
Then, like Rush says, McDonalds listens to liberal spinsters in Washington who tell them what up-tight liberal spinsters like to eat. Then they don’t eat there...
Wrong! The first McDonald’s was located in San Bernardino, CA. First franchised store was in Phoenix, AZ. Second in Downey, CA which is still open.
