I don't really understand how fast food stays in business with their prices nowadays. Don't get me wrong I'm not going to be one of those goony motherfuckers saying the food tastes awful or makes me sick or whatever, I think it's tasty and I like it as a treat on occasions, but it's just so expensive it's on par with most local lunch spots. Most combo meals are around 6-7 bucks, for the same price or a buck or two more in my town you could go to pretty much any lunch spot in town. If you're getting the lunch special it might even be cheaper. Assuming you're eating out with other people it's also pretty much always nicer to be able to sit down and chat.Moridin920 posted:"McDonald's CEO Don Thompson received a compensation package worth $13.8million in 2012" *I dunno if this is the case with don thompson I just mean in more general observation between 07 and now.

I want to say that one big thing keeping places like that alive is that fast food places often crop up in areas in poor/rural neighborhoods, where there IS no other choice. Not every place has a bunch of awesome little hole-in-the-wall places that charge as much if not less than fast food places to choose instead. The neighborhood in the place I work has literally fuckall to eat close by besides a bunch of fast food restaurants, and the nearest decent real food option like Sushi or Thai is far enough away that I'd be late for my work break if I went off to get it. And that's with a car who can get to it - I'd imagine many people poor enough to feel a need to eat fast food all the time can't even drive and are limited by biking or walking distance. I think there's an actual term for it, called "food desert".

ArbitraryC posted:My college friends and I were super into hitting jacks for tacos and jr bacon cheeseburgers, you'd put the taco in the burger and the crunch + the taco meat goo wast a perfect compliment to the burger. Now their jr. bacon cheeseburgers are like 1.50 and I haven't eaten there in forever. taco bell still has a decent value menu I think but taco bell does weird things to me now so I stick to the cheesy gordita crunch if I ever go. I'll probably eat taco bell twice a year, if that. fast food is just satisfying sometimes, like a can of coke.

ArbitraryC posted:That's just sensible cookin. Something ive wondered for a while now is what quality food do fast food franchises use. In the grocery store you pretty much only get the best stuff, there's no bag of grade 2 potatoes you can buy because people don't like how they look. The same applies to most other foods, the difference in grade is often more visual than taste/texture but you normally won't find second best as an option outside of meat (where it does impact quality). That does raise the question of where all this stuff that didn't make the photoshoot standards goes, and fast food seems like the most obvious choice. I would have guessed that the franchises have deals with the farmers to buy their lower grade stuff in bulk but then I also recall reading somewhere that McDonald's actually owns most of it's own farmland and just grows it's own potatoes and cows and poo poo so I don't know what to believe. On the other hand, grocery stores seem to have a lot of 'priced to move' stuff on occasion, though: Here's an old 10# bag of potatoes you'd BETTER use in the next 24 hours for $1. Here's a 24 box of day-old donuts for $4 because we gotta get rid of them. You also get the sub-prime stuff in the form of generic and store brands. Save a few cents going on generic peanut butter that always has an odd consistency, a store brand cracker that is always a little more brittle and stale compared to the Nabisco, etc. Someone suggested a few years ago that McDs just made their menu too complicated and expensive, and they should just sell plain sandwiches as the 'standard' and charge for every additional major topping and let people create their own sandwich like pizza places do. Just create a few tiers of free/charged toppings and let me make what I want and charge me based on what I put on it. Rather than hyping up a new sandwich, you can just promote when you've got limited edition fixin's to get people off their asses to haul down to McDs and order their $1 burger and throw on another dollar to get it with applewood bacon slapped on top of it or whatever on it while supplies last.

That's what they get for removing chicken selects. They also charge more for their lovely sandwiches than it costs to get a foot long at subway, the local deli, d'angelos, or pretty much anywhere. gently caress mcdonalds. Their chicken wrap things aren't even bad just grossly overpriced. They are also super popular here still so no idea what that guy is talking about. I mean they have competition, there's not a 10 car line at the drive through all hours of the day anymore, but there's still non-stop customers inside and at the drive-thru.

Maybe it's just me, but I think McDs stores got worse after they brought in their premium coffee assortments and frozen drinks and what not. Those seem like a moneymaker, but they also seem like the moment the stores for me really took a downturn.

I hate going just off personal experience but McDonalds is more successful than ever in LA from the looks. They literally never have a break in the line. Maybe some McDonalds out in bumfuck nowhere out in the industrial areas have it worse? Really all this comes down to is there are more fast food chains opening up, and some of them rock, so there's less of a need for tons and tons of locations. People are really overselling that part. Though I don't doubt corporate is stupid. I hate how they didn't roll out their FULL breakfast menu all day, it's the only thing I'll ever bother going there for as lovely as it is for you.

The attitude of "The company won't be loyal to me, so why should I be loyal to the company?" is present at every level, from the entry-level jobs to the board members. The office drones steal the staplers, the boss steals everybody's retirement fund.

Tony Homo posted:In Lynwood Ca near where I work there's a McDonald's that has you build your own burger. You can choose the kind of patty and the type of bun and fixins. You can also order via a huge computer screen that you tap. Also, if you eat in the restaurant they give you a numbered plastic square you put on the table. When you walk in you're greeted by an employee who wears a small apron around her hip asking if they can help you order from the computer and build your own burger. I would imagine this is a test location since I haven't seen that anywhere else. This is the endgame for raising minimum wage. If they have to pay counter monkeys $15 it becomes cost effective to automate those jobs. And it's not only Mcdonalds Taco Bell and a few others are heavily promoting their order from our app on your phone and skip the line to get a jump on it as well.

A Food Desert is when there are no grocery stores or places to buy healthy food/produce in the ghetto so you have to eat at convenience stores/fast food. It has nothing to do with whether you can get sushi you "putz".

At some point, even as a grown adult, you want a toy that comes in the Happy Meal. It could be a Batman thing that looks neat, a Hello Kitty thing to put on your desk, a Lego cup, the Halloween bucket of the pumpkin.* Otherwise, you want to save McDs? Run McDonald's Monopoly 3 times a year. My rear end would be in there all the time. *THAT'S what McD's needs to do: Happy Meal for grown ups. It's just like their regular value meals, except it comes with a 'toy' for adults like a thumb drive or code for Xbox Live downloads.

It's not especially bad and lord knows there are plenty of small time places that manage to do it worse somehow, but it is a long way from "pretty drat good", especially given the price. The coffee's cheap and very decent, though.
