They need to go vegan. Tired of seeing all you diabetic mother****ers reaching for that last 24-pack of carbonated-water drenched sugar. Mayne!
Not on the way out, but certainly on the decline. Today's society is much more health conscious. They know what eating that stuff does to your body, and that it simply isn't good for you. They will continue to decline, but society will always have people who dgaf.
Fast food joints use to make good burgers. Now they add fillers and chemicals and the burger got smaller.
As long as they have the value menu, they will continue to survive. I know I've had times where I've had to eat something on/near campus and resorted to McDonalds because its so cheap.
My prior understanding is the increasing reliance on the value menu is seriously eating into their profits. They need to make people pay more or the slide will continue.
Just lean on your suppliers to cut costs, implement online ordering and/or deliveries and create a charge card.
I never order a combo from McDonalds, in fact all I ever get is 2 mcdoubles for 2.60. I only eat there when I'm hungry and in a hurry. Most people I know only get that or a hot & spicy for a dollar. The does not seem to be a terribly profitable way to do business.
Their beef taste weird. It doesn't taste like real meat. Only thing i get there is dessert most of the time.
