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.

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.

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.

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

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.

As an American, if i could buy not American right now, I would. Fuck this government.

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

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

McDonald's forgot their place as a cheap fast food burger. It's almost as expensive as places like Five Guys now, and nowhere near the same level of either flavor or sheer quantity.

It used to be that their app promos made up the difference but now it's the same like 4 so coupons for specific items and a generic 15% off that really only covers taxes, not the 50%+ increase in prices in the last 2 years. It's just not worth it anymore.

Even ignoring the international portion, I wouldn't be surprised if Americans started to notice as well.

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

I wish there was more domestic anti-McDonald’s sentiment.

That shit is nasty.

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

Macdonalds is utter shite. There's just no other way to say this.

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.

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.

Oh no, did the shitty mega corporation suffer consequences for its role in contributing to destabilizing a government to save 2% on its taxes? Pobrecito!

The burger giant reported U.S. same-store sales fell 3.6%, the largest three-month drop since Q2 2020, when they plunged 8.7%.

Pump that shit up, y'all! Don't forget McDonald's hosted the domestic enemy to the United States Constitution, Donald Trump, for two separate PR stunts. They are complicit in his treason. They don't deserve another cent of your money - there are tons of other options to get your greasy salt fix.

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