Lower your price gouged menu prices. I quit them a few years ago. I eat out about twice a month now.
It certainly isn’t going to be their nasty tasting cardboard food.
They turned in Luigi, likely by having facial recognition in all stores. This is not justifying what Luigi is charged with, but fuck McDonald’s for being a part of that lie. Traitorous lying scum.
They have cameras pointing up at you from the register area when you place an order, apparently “just for QR codes.” And all their fucking digital menus have cameras in them. Why exactly is that needed? Fraud prevention for the illicit big Mac?
McDonald’s doesn’t value privacy and I don’t believe for a second a random employee there identified Luigi.
Between them trying to use AI on me to take an order (and likely trying to voiceprint me) and also just not caring about privacy at all, why the fuck would I go there? Nope.
I don’t trust them at all. In the US, corporations are legally allowed to lie to you if the government approves so if they do have some program in cahoots with police for facial recognition, we would never know.
I’m not saying it’s bad to catch bad guys who are religious radicals, but the government is not exactly trustworthy.
And, on top of this, they fucked everyone over on price, then lowered it slightly when they realized they stepped in dog shit, showing how price increases were partly price gouging.
Fuck McDonalds.
Between them trying to use AI on me to take an order (and likely trying to voiceprint me)
Why do they need an AI to do that? People have been hollering into their ordering system for decades.
i thought an employee turned in Luigi, not facial recognition…
That’s the official explanation, but the employees name was withheld and at the time there was a grainy picture of “Luigi” with only part of the person’s face visible. It’s possible but hard to believe.
i’ve seen other stuff about how they weren’t paying that employee the reward, the employee got threats and was fired… i dunno, jumping to nationwide facial scans from the app scanning thing isn’t too logical though….
they all have regular security cameras anyways, a cash register underneath view wouldn’t really help them much….
It’s ok we shouldn’t be eating that garbage anyway
We need to educate the next generation on how to feed themselves easily on a budget.
Right now, most of them don’t bother making their own meals because they’ve been conditioned to treat food as an adventure that they can brag to their friends about every time.
Peak boomerism.
No, it’s anti-consumerism.
This generation has sold itself out to the lowest bidder, so it makes some sense that we have to look to the past for how to live with more self-respect.
Maybe McDonalds shouldn’t have endorsed a fucking dictator during the election?
Right? It’s absolutely part of why I don’t spend money there. The other part being shit food that’s too expensive, but letting this assclown promote your brand turned about half the country off of your products hard.
I actually forgot about the endorsement until i read the article. Fuck mcd
Their garbage food and sky high prices, and severe lack of quality operations probably did more damage.
I guess Trump doesn’t help, but it’s also easy to point the finger. If eating at a fast food chain is no longer fast, cheap nor food (let’s be honest). Is it then strange that sales are declining?
I support all the Trump-bashing in the world, but let’s not allow crappy big businesses to just blame everything on him. McDonald’s has a responsibility and they haven’t lived up to it. Blaming Trump for consumers not choosing your overpriced, shitty product is not reasonable.
THE SHAREHOLDERS DEMAND MORE DIVIDENDS.
MUST. CONTINUE. ENSHITIFICATION.
If only we could’ve known ahead of time
if only there had been warning signs
You get what you fucking deserve.
Maybe they should introduce the new Executive Faceburger to their menu.
Get allthe leopards to start eating there.
Nothing to do with feeding genocidal maniacs and boasting about it? Pretty sure that helped the boycott
Yeah, but we’re not going to hear that tale from imperial media.
Who the fuck is still spending money at McDonald’s in 2025?
Can someone get it through the mcds executive heads that they fucking suck?
I love how they had that cute little virtue signaling with that fucking shit gibbon of a fake president and now they’re like oh it’s consumer Spending. Let me tell you as a retail business it’s them.
They felt the need to signal to maga and they’re going to get what they get because maga are fucking broke and only have money to buy Shitty Chinese made red hats And fake American flags.
Dumb fucks.
My boomer mother in law. Rural origins. Just… Likes the garbage she gets there because she’s used to it. She actively dislikes fine foods with strong flavors. She would prefer to eat mushy overcooked pork chops in mushroom soup every night. Maybe a side of overcooked broccoli.
Brags about eating bowls of saltine crackers and milk.
Interestingly enough, where I live, it’s McDonalds that has strong flavors. Not the most complex flavors or anything, but they at least put enough salt in their stuff that you can taste it. Plenty of fancier places make burgers that are better in every other aspect but sauce has little to no flavor compared to say, a Big Tasty. But of course the funny thing is, some of these places are now cheaper than McDonald’s…
By strong flavor I mean Mediterranean or Indian food. She can’t tolerate it. Needs her KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.
Okay yeah, Indian food has strong flavor for sure.
It’s more local stuff here that is fairly weak flavor and in comparison, American-origin fast food has stronger flavor. We’re a meat and potatoes kind of people. Without too much flavoring, except we have ridiculously strong mustard that you put on your plate instead of it being used to flavor the meat beforehand.
That milk and crackers bit is so gross!
I used to work with a lady that would refuse vegetables like a child. She had to be in her late 50s early 60s. She’d complain to me about health problems and then vehemently refuse any healthy alternative I’d put out there.
Boycott this fascist, carnist, genocidal filth.
Carnism <—> Fascism.
Having to use a stupid fucking phone app to get less astronomical prices for bad food, poor service and rude/flippant employees is what tanked their sales.
I love the idea of blaming trump anyway because fuck that asshole.
McDonald’s and other fast food burger chains mostly exist to me for when I’m craving fries and download the app and get some deal where it’s like buy the smallest drink and get free large fries. They get like $2 about every 6 months from me
