"Their crap is pure poison, anyway."

So true, and the thing is, I rarely went there...less than once a month. I eat once or twice a day, and always cook at home. I've been retired for almost 20 years. I'm not one of those senior citizens who goes to bed at 8 p.m., and is up at 4 or 5 a.m. I don't go to bed until 4 or 5 a.m. sometimes, so I don't get up until 11 a.m. or noon, so I thoroughly enjoyed being able to treat myself once a month with a couple of breakfast sandwiches and an order of home fries for supper. I'll just make my own freakin' breakfast sandwiches, and McDonald's can go screw itself.

The family that opened an A & W burger place in my home town.

All 6 kids worked there.

Biden and his fellow marxist democrats are working hard on the national 15 dollar per hour wage for teenagers.

McDonald’s, right on cue, is likewise working hard to not have to hire tens of thousands of kids at 15 dollars per hour to work in their stores around the world.

It’s utopia, marxism and capitalism working hand in hand to put more unemployable kids out on the streets doing drugs and working towards a career in the closest prison.

Interesting. All the Mickey-D’s around me are begging for workers.

Apparently, that is a major problem out here on the west coast.

Also, in a few years many if not many most so called High School grads will not be able to do basic math nor read instructions. (1)

That will disable any ability to do even basic work like take an order, fry a hamburger, and make correct change.

(1) Oregon students shouldn’t have to prove they can write or do math to get a diploma, lawmakers decide!

Students in the class of 2021 did not have to prove they could write or do math at a basic level to earn their diplomas. A bill headed to Gov. Kate Brown would prohibit any such requirement at least until 2027.A bill to prohibit Oregon schools from requiring students to show they can read, write and do math at a basic high school level is headed to Gov. Kate Brown after lawmakers gave final approval Wednesday.

(1)The bill was signed by the governor, and it is now in effect in Oregone! How long before the other blue states do the same?)

So before the end of this decade will all fast food outlets become AIT controlled and do everyday jobs now done by humans?

Will the machines be armored against Shaniqua and DeVante’s frequent brawls?

Remember those street demonstrations for $15 an hour minimum wage.

That was back in May.

McDonalds got the message.

Humans out, machines in....

I laugh when I see these “experts” say that raising minimum wages will not cost jobs. They study examples a month after the fact and see little effect.

They may not cost jobs the next day but corporations do silly stuff like planning for the future....

Oops.

There is nobody dumber than “experts”.

Best thing they can do is throw out their whole menu. Never liked their grease burgers.

Perhaps we need to go back to the automat business model.

I stopped using their online ordering, because their website won’t process gift cards for me!

That will soon be a no/no.

A lot of today’s young people can’t qualify for a credit card. So you give them gift cards for specific businesses.

After, another year or so under Xiden, a lot of Americans over 21 will not be able to qualify for a credit card.

I rarely eat at a McD’s. Breakfast sandwiches on the way to see our kids in Louisville is the usual time. Or occasionally on the way home from seeing kids in Louisville. Otherwise, we don’t eat there. So we are talking maybe once or twice a month at different locations...

And it isn’t just about speed.

Nope it is about $15.00 an hour which will only go up under Biden's handlers.

and have raised their prices.

I guess we know who shops for groceries in you home or you would realize why prices are going up. Costco hamburger last week was $4.59 don't even ask about Ribeye. Chuck roast is going for $8.49 so why is Costco or anyone else grinding into hamburger to get less?

At least if robots are doing your order, they won’t spit on your food.

That function could easily be added you know.

It seems like many major corporations are claiming they need workers but are then so picky in hiring that they won't hire the people that apply for the jobs. I have read and seen multiple instances where the company begging for workers turns down totally qualified applicants.

I suspect it is because they are trying to run with skeleton crews to save money and acting like they can't hire staff instead of saying they won't hire adequate staff is intended to keep the customers from being angry with the companies for the resulting bad service.

Pure poison is what the AMA recommended diet is.
