“McDonald’s current performance reflects the urgent need to evolve with today’s consumers, reset strategic priorities and restore business momentum.”

WTF! If you cannot dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull$hit.

It ain’t safe.

McD's entire problem summed up in three words. I don't know how a fast food company overcomes this tag.

Unsafe. The nutritional value of the food. The sketchy workforce. The many, many stories/videos of customer misbehavior and crime.

It's just not a safe place to go.

I remember a small McDonalds in Rockville Maryland in the '50s that was supposedly the 2nd McDonalds anywhere. It was a small drive-thru with golden arches. Hamburgers were .15 cents and cheeseburgers .17. There was some deal where you could buy a whole bag for a reduced price. The food was great.

Sometime in the mid-seventies the food at McDonalds changed and I began t get stomach cramps if I ate there. Except for breakfast, I haven't been back to one since.

We have one in Albuquerque, and it’s always jammed. I can’t imagine how it could survive with all the great New Mexican multi-generational hole in the wall restaurants here.

Indeed. Though not exactly fast food, La Placita is one of my favorite eating places. When I was in Albuquerque, I also liked Little Anita's and Monroe's.

I remember eating at a Taco Bell in Socorro which catered to local tastes by offering New Mexico green chile.

Sadly we don’t have Whataburger or In N Out.

But we do have Culvers, which is also quite awesome.

(FWIW the $5.50 was just the basic price of the hamburger)

And that is why I never go near a Chipotle. We have sooooo many really good Mexican places to choose from that it just seems stupid to me to go to a Chipotle. Of course my relatives in Arkansas think Chuy’s is Mexican food. lol I don’t go there either.

McD’s big brakfast, and most other breakfast items are pretty good. After breakfast, the only really good items are the chicken wraps.

Boy was i wrong, bland, soggy pieces of wet cardboard.

First year (Monk #1): I hate oatmeal.

Second year (Monk #2): I LIKE oatmeal.

Third year (Monk #3): I can’t stand this constant quibbling about oatmeal!

>>Sadly we don’t have Whataburger or In N Out.<<

That is like saying “I don’t have an old beat-up VW or a Porche.”

I have a WAB around the corner and I can’t stand them. Paper thin patties with no taste and very strange toppings combinations.

InO OTOH — Burger Nirvana (Thank God one is near me when I moved to Texas).

I do miss Carl’s Jr which is in the upper 3rd. And I REALLY miss Tommy’s Chiliburgers — .00001 away from InO.

*dang I am hungry and NONE of those are near where I am in Chicago*

Best iced tea?
Chicken Express


And, you can order a jumbo-size drink and you get a good quart-sized (maybe half-gallon, I forget) bucket to take with you!
