Finally some good news!
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.
Yep, any time I've been inside a Maccy's since covid has been a long wait while countless delivery drivers walk past and pick up online orders. I've tried delivery and it's been shit every time, lukewarm food with soggy fries. I don't think their food is suited to delivery, IMO it's only popular because of momentum.
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 live in a small town and the only garbage that i see around are McDonald's bags and drinkt that get thrown on the side of the road. I think it's a special kind of people that eats at McDonald's, and they don't care about quality, prices and the mystery shit they eat.
Their food is so bad except the fries
Fuck you McDonalds. For so many reasons. Letting the fucking monster play employee on his way to destroy this country was just icing on the cake.
That's a good thing. Love to see the impacts.
Will still continue avoiding them.
A fucking McDouble should have never gone over a buck fifty. Fuck McDonald's. They're not paying their employees enough to charge that much.
Companies slowly starting to realize that you canโt charge ANY priceโฆ quality and price doesnโt match
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.
Dont forget they support jizzraels genocide too
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.
McFascism
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.
Use the Spell Card "Monster Reborn" to ressurect the fucking Dollar Menu
I haven't been to McGenocide in a long while
Me who hasn't eaten any McDonalds for decades purely because it's unhealthy.
Yeah, doing my part and all that...
This pleases me.
I hope all of these price-gouging motherfuckers see their worst sales declines since 2020. Bastards.
Oh how the turns have tabled.
Good. Keep it up!
