Looks like McDonald’s is reaping what it sowed. Shit food at shit prices and no one wants to buy?! SHOCKER.

    McDonald’s is on the boycott list for the Palestinian genocide. I’m really curious if that had any effect.

    I would think it’s not that much inside the US but McDonald’s has a large global presence.

      From the article:

      “Industry traffic has declined in major markets like the U.S., Australia, Canada, and Germany. In several markets, we also continue to be negatively impacted by the war in the Middle East,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the company’s earnings call.

      So it does seem to be working to some extent.

    I went to McD’s a week ago for an Egg McMuffin meal with an extra hash brown and a large Coke for the drink: $15.00. Less than 2 years ago, this exact meal was like $5.

    I hope they go down in flames at this point.

      Coke for breakfast, yuck

      Edit: you can downvote all you want, I’m not wrong. If you’re drinking coke for breakfast, you’ve got issues, maybe negligent parents.
