Hooded Reptile posted:They have a promo here for it, there is a coupon in the sunday paper, but who reads newspapers anymore. Popeye's is an enigma because their prices are heavily region-dependent. But goddamn if they aren't the best "fast food" tier place there is. McDonald's is trying to butt in to Five Guy's territory of serving "premium" burgers but they're failing miserably. I tried their new steakburger and it made me retch. Go back to the drat dollar menu, they should be going the opposite direction from premium.

Blazing Ownager posted:Seriously though, McDonalds is not going out of loving business. If anything they'll scale back so they don't own the ridiculous number of locations they do. They outnumber everybody else by huge amounts in the same category. Yeah there will be fewer locations, it just seems like alot of the franchises are going to sink or swim. One issue IMO with the McDonald's model is the demands of uniformity so the franchiser is constantly buying solely from corporate for all their products/signage. McDonalds also only said they would experiment with higher wages at their corporate-owned stores - the model of getting disposable labor from marginal people who live on Section 8 / Medicaid can't hold up. We need all people to be equal economic actors with defined pay grades. Their model has always had some Amway-like aspects - the money runs out eventually.

City of Tampa posted:no i'm pretty sure that the egg mcmuffin is a legit egg, not some fake egg concoction . they could safely make it with a runny yolk as long as the whites are cooked through When I worked there in high school the eggs that were in mcmuffins were legit eggs you had to crack yourself and all that. The folded eggs on a lot of the other stuff is milk cartons of pre-blended egg and yolk. I wouldn't call either of them fake garbage but they aren't high quality either of course.

Just be on time and able to drop poo poo in a fryer in a semi-coherent basis. Basically you can be lazy as gently caress and hold all customers and managers in contempt.

The folded eggs on a lot of the other stuff is milk cartons of pre-blended egg and yolk. I wouldn't call either of them fake garbage but they aren't high quality either of course. Same as when I worked there, in the late 90's. We could do a runny egg if requested, but I don't know if all locations would do that, and since you were trusting your egg cooking to a 17 year old, mileage might have varied on that, too. Also, and I've told this story here before, but if you got the pickles wet, the green color would wash off. Also, the McRibs were not allowed to be ordered without the bbq sauce, as they were completely flavorless on their own. I worked there when they switched over to the "Deluxe" items, like Arch Deluxe and Fish Deluxe and all that. There was an old guy who had worked at our store his whole life, and he would come in with his old skeleton wife every night. He ordered his regular of a fish sandwich and coffee, and when he saw that it now came with lettuce he ran from his table to the counter screaming "WHAT THE gently caress IS THIS GARBAGE" and threw it on the floor and started stomping on it. Old people are delightful. Once some kid had diarrhea in the ball pit and our counter area filled with angry parents and their feces-covered children. Can you blame me for having fond memories?

Secks Cauldron posted:If you'd like to be coated in a thin layer of grease and have constant acne problems then McDonald's is for you! That is the part I don't have fond memories of. You break out like hell, and your hands never stop smelling like onions. You never stop sweating and running around, because "if you have time to lean, you have time to clean!". Once I forgot to wash my uniform shirt and left it on the balcony railing of my house for an hour to air out before a shift, and a bunch of bugs ate giant holes in it. All that and you work a full shift and go home with like $37 bucks and one half-price meal.

When Mcdonalds added an apple dip to their menu they became the biggest purchasers of apples in the world. Mcdonalds don't give a gently caress about losing some profits, they are an unstoppable monster that will be around infinitely. For every Mcdonalds you see that is empty, there is one in China or something that is packed to the rear end in a top hat with people lining out the door.

Think of yourself as a McDonald's Franchiser - you buy the land/location/franchise fees - big initial investment. But once the restaurant is up and running it is a nice revenue stream - keep everything in stock from the catalog and if you can manage employee turnover you're golden. People like this are the Tory exoskeleton of America. Subway basically uses the same model - you need to buy the oven / ingredients / display materials but they give franchise owners more chances to synergize. No McDonald's Franchise owner would sell lotto tickets at the same counter.

Hooded Reptile posted:The one arbies here holds it own because the guy is hardcore manager. Order ain't right, youre fired, not enough horseradish, youre fired, etc etc. When an Arby's is good, it's fantastic. There's two within about a 10 minutes drive from me. One is always dead because it's completely staffed by all the people from the ghetto it borders. The other is a tight as gently caress ship, and the food is great and it's always packed. Also I like ringing the bell by the door. Once I went to the bad Arby's and they were out of roast beef. Granted, it was like 11 pm but still, wtf? Also, I was in the drive-thru of an Arby's once and there was a fat girl outside crying in an Arby's uniform. Their walk-in freezer was in the parking lot, separate from the main building, with a brick façade covering it on all 4 sides. She was getting something out of it and had slipped in the rain, and her fat wet hand had frozen to the inside of the open door. I always thought that was funny, because apparently no-one had told the people inside so she was just on her knees crying with her hand frozen to the door, shouting for help.
