I used to crave their Cherry Pies, which were usually available around Presidents Day in honor of George Washington. Haven’t seen or tasted one in several years. Still stop regularly for a large java. $1.06 around here. Can’t beat that with a stick.
Moron. He had to put “progressive” in there and instantly offend 40% of his potential client base.
Not that I eat at McD’s very often, but I eat at “progressive” restaurants a lot less, meaning never.
Hey, how is Five Guys Burgers? One JUST opened here and I have yet to try it.
If McDonald’s folds where are we going to find a public bathroom while traveling? But then again, if they do fold perhaps we won’t need as many bathrooms on the road....lol
I always figured Ronald was gay, but I suppose he will now have to be transgendered.
I’ve read that McDonald’s is so big it can move the world’s commodity market. So even without the crazed idea of becoming “progressive” the law of large numbers may be working against them.
For a traditional hamburger chain that is wildly successful, they should look at In-N-Out.
Maybe Ronald will come out as gay. That’s sure to save the company.
I was thinking about the 70’s when the inner city McDonald’s were growing. They made money then but after say 2000 everything went downhill.
McDonald’s makes the best tasting french fries of all the fast food companies.
5 guys is awesome. Pricy, but worth every penny.
I’ve stopped eating at Burger King entirely since they’ve gone gay
It wouldn’t be too hard to stop going to McDonalds.
There was a place here...near Imperial PA...about ten years ago that remade a 50’s diner venue. Played 50’s as well as adult standards. Hosted car cruises and dances. It was GREAT for folks like mrs p6 and me.
Lasted maybe two years. Eat n Park was ready to do a chain of similar diners but it fell through.
The economy just could support the investment.
Really as a recently forcibly retired from radio after 30 years guy I can understand. There aren’t many of us at the baby boomer age who want to go out, spend money, and hobble home.
The Window moved. Oh well...
No, I’m not. Microwaved hamburgers served slowly on styrofoam buns, with a side of tasteless but highly salted fries and a foo-foo shake are not what built McDonald’s. Relegating me to the value menu because you are promoting your “new chicken tomatoe [sic] lettace [sic] sandwich and a salad and coffee for 7 dollars” is not the way to get me in the door.
Bring 3 kids in, and the five of you won’t get out fast or filled, and the bill will run you sit-down diner amounts of cash.
The modern McDonalds is to fast food what the GOP-E is to conservatism. Clueless.
“Hey, how is Five Guys Burgers? One JUST opened here and I have yet to try it.”
I ate there a few times with a friend, who just loved it. Big orders of fries, above average burgers, prices pretty high. Overall pretty good, not fantastic.
A smaller chain came along called The Habit, and both my wife and I love it.
About 125 so far, mainly California but also in Arizona, Utah, New Jersey and Nevada so far. Like surprisingly several food joints, it started in the incubator of Santa Barbara in 1969.
“If McDonald’s folds where are we going to find a public bathroom while traveling?”
I suspect it will soon be a progressive, transgendered accommodating restroom. Your wife will use the restroom with a really ugly guy dressed as a chick.
Oh Noes....
My first real job was at a McDonald’s (the 2nd one in Maine I believe). In college I kept a New England McDonald’s map in the car.
My wife put me onto Five Guys. I’m naturally skeptical of overpraise, but she was right...they are great. And they give you more fries (great tasting as well) that you can handle. Worth the the extra money.
There was a shooting death at a McD’s here in Jacksonville last night that involved several sons of Obama. I don’t think they were competing for a job opening, though.
The last time I went into one—which was several years ago—I literally feared for my safety. Not only did the melanin-laden clientele glare at me, the melanin-laden person behing the register with the neck tattoo glared at me as well. I got a drink (self-serve) and got the heck out.
