“McDonald’s CEO says fast food chain will focus on affordability amid outrage over menu hikes”

only way to do that is to cut quality and portion sizes ...

in other words: “The food is terrible, and the portions are too small.”

“The battleground is certainly with that low-income consumer.”

indeed ... as a group, they’re the ones who are least concerned about healthy nutrition and consume the most junk foods ...

i always ate the single cheeseburgers- no onions- when ordering, ask for no onions or pickle or katchup- depending on what you like, and they will give you a ‘fresh’ newly made hot burger-

I think Steve Martin was right....

I have a theory about McDonald’s, that is, everything they make is all one thing, and in the back they have this big vat full of this stuff, these little molds combining, like SPLURT ‘Hamburger!’ SPLURT ‘Malt!’ SPLURT ‘Paper box!’ SPLURT ‘Here’s your change!’

i liek it too- but just the single cheeseburger or the chicken sandwhich- not crazy about the big mac or double cheesebuerger- some of their snack foods are pretty good too-

I heard McDonald's is starting a "Take Out a Loan" program so you can pay for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner!

Minimum wage $15.74 in my state and they’re paying more than that.

So I look forward to automated everything...with one or two warm bodies overseeing the automated operation.

That'll work but they'll have to close more often for maintenance.

I also got no onions to get a fresh burger. I knew a chick that worked there.
A very friendly girl.

“He told me to stay away from restaurant hamburgers period!”

it’s probably not the actual hamburger patty that’s the main problem, but the white-bread bun, synthetic cheese, soybean mayo and high-fructose ketchup, and the likelihood of a getting a BIG soda pop and a large order or fries to go along with that patty ... oh, and an apple pie desert ...

Easy peasy solution. Substitute sawdust and lawn clippings wherever possible. People will likely not notice the difference.

That is true. Culver’s is the Lexus of fast food.

I’m like that, including not dead yet, have more McDonald’s app points than I know what to do with, primarily acquired via breakfast sandwiches and filet-of-fish/chicken, never pay more than $8.20 per meal even when not using special app offers, but $4.40 for lunch is typical.
