I really hope my local doesn't shut down. Nuggets and cheeseburgers are some of the few foods I can eat without getting sick.

I remember back in the mid-90s when they had a Disney trivia scratch off game card thing they were doing in the wild west days of the internet people were pretty much posting on newsgroups the correct answers for people could win their prizes.

There was a neat urban exploration thing I saw a few years ago of a closed McD's, but I can't find it now. I do find this, though: http://weburbanist.com/2013/12/15/past-food-10-creepy-closed-abandoned-mcdonalds/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW3WXiehIVc JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Oct 21, 2015 |

When did somethingawful become somethingfroufrou? Mcdonald's is awesome: Fries, Mcdoubles, M&M Mcflurries, and Chicken Nuggets are all top rate chow in my book. They need to put Mcdoubles back on the dollar menu, and maybe try putting Large Fries there too. Small/Med Fries are dumb as poo poo and shouldn't even exist. loving portions for a small mouse, it's unjust. I'll let you guys get back to your French Cuisine made by your personal chefs, and I'll get back to my tony's pizza and jerking myself off to sleep.

Starfleet's best McDs, or least it used to be until the Federation started filling up their menus with artisan Vulcan and Klingon crap. They need to get back to basics and just have replicators churning out shakes and burgers.

criscodisco posted:Did they just lock them inside? They put the fence up because of homeless people and the building constantly getting tagged (in SF you have to paint over graffiti even on abandoned buildings that get tagged everyday, or else the city will eventually do it and then charge you a poo poo ton of money). I would think a lovely chain-link fence wouldn't stop homeless people from going in and out if they really wanted to, though it is possible that it worked, and there is now a microclimate of trapped homeless (formerly, now!) people within that building, who live off of rats and fungus, and the occasional tourist lured from outside. In 500 years they will have evolved into something superhuman, and will emerge into the post apocalyptic wastes of the old world, riding the armored shopping carts that they built within those walls, and they will conquer all survivors.

No McGriddle on the all day breakfast menu. I mean really it should be the CEO of McDs being griddled by a Senate committee over that failed policy.

McDonald's reminds me of getting the pancake/sausage patty breakfast combo as a small child and always spilling the god drat syrup in the car and oh my god it's on the seat belt, DAD it's EVERYWHERE pull over, I have to hork into this napkin and on myself to try to get it off.

They introduced all-day breakfast, something people have been wanting for decades. Maybe they'll coast on that for a few decades before bringing back the dollar menu.

criscodisco posted:How does franchising work? I know the majority of the locations are franchised locations, and when I worked there the franchise license was $1 million. Now, do the franchisees have to give McDonalds corporate a percentage of their profits, or is it a one-time fee for the name? If that's the case, I can see how they would go under. How franchising works is that franchisees get raped. I have not read a McDonalds agreement but have seen enough franchise agreements. They will have to buy their poo poo from the franchisor or the franchisor's designated supplier (guess how that works!), they will pay marketing support fees, franchise fees on some sort of percentage basis, as many up-front fees as the franchisor can manage (initial training and documentation fees for example, plus an up-front "franchise fee" that supposedly covers documentation and a degree of initial risk for the franchisor). They may also be required to contribute to capital costs, depending on the model, e.g. come up with the land or the buildings or fund improvements when the franchisor says so. Sounds bad so far? It gets better. The franchisor owns not only the intellectual property it licences to the franchisee (that's sort of the point of franchising) but all the goodwill in the franchised business, so the franchisee is basically working for the the franchisor and getting only whatever profit is left after it has been rear end-raped by the franchisor. In many cases you don't even get anything as legally substantial as a "licence", because the franchisor doesn't want the franchisee to have ownership of any independently valuable assets arising from the business, only what purely contractual rights (hint: none) it has under the franchise agreement. McDonalds will be able to move the franchise on to someone else for any number of easily-manufactured reasons. Also, franchise agreements are typically for a limited term, so if the franchisor can find someone they'd like to put into your location prior to any renewal date, it can do so. Any compensation you may be entitled to can also be easily withheld if the franchisor wants to, pretty much in the way a sleazy landlord manages to find reasons not to return an impoverished tenant's security deposit. The whole point of a well-organised franchise system is to let the franchisor exploit the labour and capital of the franchisee to grow the franchisor's business, extract significant profits from the franchise via one-time and recurring fees (these should pay for the operation and risk of the franchised part of your business plus margin), and de-risk expansion of the franchisor's business (because it's the franchisee's money at stake). The franchisor's objective in most cases is basically to drip-feed the franchisee just enough income to keep them working, but not so much that they can think about working for themselves.

Sometimes when I'm out and about and there's a McDonalds right there I'll pop in and get two $1 Hot 'n Spicy chicken sandwiches and a cup of water for a quick snack. Those things are pretty addicting. If you want a burger though there are five million better options. At the very least get some Whataburger if you're going for fast food.
