they stretched out in the wrong direction....and with arms that size it took a while to recoup the losses I guess
“I often describe McDonald’s as possibly the most democratic — with a small ‘d’ — brand in the world,” he said. “And what customers love the world over, and none more so than here in the U.S., is how they can buy into aspirational quality products, but at a McDonald’s price.”
...
Wow. Judging from the FReeper comments on other related threads, he doesn’t have a clue. He’ll make a fortune when he gets bought out of his contract in a year or two.
So much for those $15 an hour jobs.
...dropping the similar Angus burger line because they were too pricey for McDonald’s diners.No, they just sucked.
People don’t want a bigger burger. McDonald’s was pushing these things today. People want the beef to be the way it used to be. What has happened to it? Is it that they are cutting out all the fat? Or Monsanto feed? Or something else? It’s not just McDonald’s. Beef everywhere turns to sawdust in your mouth.
Reserve police forces activated to deal with the inevitable McNugget rampages.
stop changing the ingredient to cater to anti-fat crowd and making your food taste horrible
They catered to the black demographic and alienated their white base
White people dom’t go to them much because itsl ike walking through Harlem at midnight
Supersize Me sure didn’t help
The minimum wage increases caused by the liberal activists / unions and Obamacare put the stake through their heart
“In-N-Out Burger topped the list.”
I’m really lucky to have a Chick Fil A and In N Out within a block of each other, at walking distance. McD’s is only good with their value burgers like the Mcdouble for $1.39. You cant beat that if you’re a student on a tight budget.

The American public ain’t lovin’ it their hike of the minimum wage, therefore furtune ( Mo money, mo money, mo money ) to junk prices, and their embrace of the homosexual agenda.....
The only 2 things that got going for them is the Big Mack and their fries..... That’s it... The rest of their food is crap...
Greasy lizzard steak hamburgers with soy and conola oil fried cooking... Yuk...
McDonalds would win me back if they brought back the McD.L.T. Anyone remember those? Great, great burger.
More and More McDonald’s is being associated with the Ghetto crowd.
On the BRIGHT SIDE, they have nowhere to go but up!
On the other hand, this cricket playing BRITISH blue blood is a strange choice to be CEO.
99.1 percent of Americans have no idea what aspirational quality means, but do know that what they get for 10 bucks at MCD is not what they get at “Whataburger”
Good luck to Easterbrook, sincerely hoping he turns it around.
Time to bring back the hamburglar.
Anyone remember the old Gino’s Giant ?
Or the White Coffee Pot Collosal Burger ?
Hardies Big Deluxe ? ( they still make them )
If I want a premium burger, I’ll go to 5 guys, or Smashburger, or Mooyah or Scotty P’s or Chips. Super premium Red Robin. Full price In-n-Out, Whataburger. Burger King, Jack in a Box, Carl’s, or Krystal.
McDonald’s is better off competing on price than they are on product. They might try restoring flavor to their fries.
The best places are the mom and pop shops. We have plenty around my area. Nothing beats a fresh hand patted burger.
The best chain restraunt in the south is quickly becoming Five guys.
The only thing that I still love is the Sausage McMuffin with egg. Yum!!
