Elbows Up 🦾

After McDonald’s dumbass trump stunt during the election, the only reason that I’ll ever go there again is to take a dump in their bathroom on a road trip.

Finally some good news!

mcdonalds is currently a BDS target for their complicity in the "israeli" settler genocide on the Palestinian people

McDonald's is a real estate business, that just happens to specialize in generic burgers as a brand. It isn't a surprise that the company doesn't care about a quality dining experience, when repairing icecream machines was a money maker for them.

Well earned hate.

They really had to go above and beyond. From their insane price hikes to their genocide apologia. They earned what is happening to them. They pursued this outcome.

Expensive and slow. I don't mind waiting for the food to be cooked if it reduces waste, but the "restaurant" experience is now awful in the UK. Most of the offers on the app are for delivery only. Then have to wait alongside a queue of uber drivers with giant boxes.

I feel Mcdonalds have given up on the restaurant sit down experience. I believe they may end up with a subscription based home delivery service, where they don't need to worry about front of house staff and can just send out like warm boxes while raising the monthly price. We seen what happened when Disney gave up everything and tried to go all in with Disney Plus.

Mcdonalds was never about quality, but a fun cheap fast place to grab a bite. It's a shame because I do have some fun memories, yet another example of late stage capitalism.

That's a good thing. Love to see the impacts.

Will still continue avoiding them.

They've been going downhill ever since they discontinued the McChicken Korma Naan in 1999.

It was fucking gorgeous

Why won't people pay $15 for our meatboard burgers, cold fries, and a half hour in our pristine drive through?

Not only is the quality still bad but its so overpriced compared to local alternatives. Its actually easy to boycott them because of this.

Nothing says "I'm a greedy whiny bitch" like complaining about a 3.6% dip in profits.

Oh well!! So sad.

It's funny how McDonald's was the crown jewel of Western capitalism/imperialism. I remember media saying that having McDonald's in your country means you are modernized and pro "democracy" and that your country is an ally of the west.

Now McDonald's is a sign of corporate greed and western dominance over your country. I guess that's what you get for letting a real estate company make and sell burgers.

Hopefully, this death dealing business model goes the way of the dodo.

Yeah started boycotting them a couple years back when I started noticing their prices were fucking insanely high for absolute shit food. The garbage they pulled during COVID and greedflation just further solidified my resolve. Haven't ever missed it. Plenty of mom and pop food places Id rather support and enjoy more. There's always other food places, fast food or not.

I have boycotted them for years now, mainly because of the prices and service. And also subway, though that's for the price gouging they did during covid.

Macdonald's have forgotten the "fast, cheap, good. Pick two" rule.
And gone for the "slow, expensive, and yet still bad" tactic.
Fafo.

The recent support of tRUMP is just another nail in the McCoffin.

Supplying free meals to an army committing a genocide and gloating about it probably has more to do with it.

Plus, their cheap crap food is now not so cheap I believe.

Costs the same as a sit down meal, low standards often tepid, virtue signalling vegan menu, deforestation contributions, we have Greggs for trash Panda food

Mcdonald routinely supporting genocide caused millions to stop consuming that trash, and now the anti-Americans are catching up! Nice to see capital crumbling brick by boring brick.

Good. Everything American outside of America should fail and collapse.

Companies slowly starting to realize that you can’t charge ANY price… quality and price doesn’t match
