    ‘Anti-American sentiment’…

    You stupid fuckers, the bigger problem is the Anti-McDonalds sentiment that’s everywhere, because your food is shit, your prices are outrageous, your restaurants are fake and ugly, and you don’t give a flying fuck about your customers or your employees!

      I like to get my burgers and milkshakes from the small, locally-owned, independent, place near where I live. It is real food, cheaper than mcdonalds, a much wider selection, and just as fast. It is also a cozy, relaxed, and welcoming environment; rather than sterile, corporate, hostile, and rushed.

    I grew up with and worked at McDs in high school and college. It used to be a family place (play places, fun colors) it used to be a friendly place (you could have birthdays there, cashiers were nice, you’d run into people you know), it used to have prices that were reasonable/cheap.

    It is none of those things anymore. Why on earth would I go there when there’s a burger place right across the road thar costs maybe $1 or $2 more and is actually good?

      Right? The McDs I remember growing up was a themed one. It was trying to be like a 50s soda shop. They had a model (or actual?) grill for a retro 50s car coming out of the wall. There were neon light decorations around the place and pictures of Elvis. They played rockabilly music instead of top 50 recent hits or whatever.

      McDs these days reminds me of airport bathrooms.

      Wait, nobody ever told me about the ‘find out’ phase.

      If this had been made clear I would never have fucked around!?!

    I can only speak for myself, but the reason I don’t eat at McDonald’s is because their food is just very low quality. Their coffee is good, but everything else is just crap.

      Finally when we cut quality so much it hurts the amount of quantity you can sell. This is what people talk about when they say balance too bad piece of shit greedy pigs cant comprehend this humanity.

      Yes but I think it’s that cost of goods increase and income doesn’t. It takes over an hour of work to feed one person with these prices.

        When I first started working at minimum wage, you could buy 3 packs of decent cigarettes for an hour’s worth of labor

        For the last few years the places I have lived, one pack of cigarettes is about $17. So over 2 hours worth of work at the minimum wage just for one pack of smokes

        Now, this may sound like an old fogey story, but perhaps the point is that I entered the workforce when minimum wage was like $7.35 an hour less than 15 years ago, and I already have old fogey economic stories

        Fast food is a similar story. It’s something bad for our health but was more excusable back when it was cheaper relative to wages. The fuck would I work myself to death just to be able to smoke a dart or eat a garbage hamburger?

      Nah, that’s anti-fascism sentiment.

      It’s the fact we love what America was and can be again that sets us apart from them.

        My state is a traditional American state, where we uphold the values of the past from 1776 - 2015.

    Maybe we should look at their corporate donations and tell them to go fuck themselves when we see who they donated to.

    Have you seen the price of McDonalds recently? I’d rather miss a meal than get scammed like that. Fuck them.

      Ain’t worth the squeeze. The food is real cheap and real expensive. Like, just get some ready-made meal at the grocery store it’s a better value and better for you.
