Except for one franchise in Maine.
McDonald's spent years trying to become the place for kids. To the point that parents hate to even hear the word. The ONLY time I would consider eating at McDonalds anymore is when I had some kids with me (and even then I would try and talk them into someplace else.) What adult wants to eat in a restaurant full of screaming kids?
Other fast food restaurants have figured this out, but McDonald's is in too deep. It took decades to create this image of a kid's restaurant, and it will take decades to undo it. Unfortunatly for their stockholders, they don't have that much time.
I think part of the problem is that McDonalds has a history of promoting from within. Normally, this can be a prudent business practice but the whole dynamic breaks down when the pool of individuals you have to select from are nearly worthless. The least lazy usually winds up running the show. Hey... perhaps we should not rush to be too critical. Mc Donald's is probably keeping tons of people, suited to no other line of work, off welfare.
They could lose the clown too... scares the heck out of my kids.
