How did Mcdonald's ever manage to take off? Their food is disgusting and always makes me feel like shit. If it wasn't so cheap and if there wasn't one on every other corner I would never even consider it.

Now that they're synonymous with fast food they can afford to cheap out on quality on coast on their name, that never lasts forever but it will last for a while. Honestly Mcdonalds was still pretty good up until Michelle Obama, that fucking tranny, ruined food in America and managed to make everything taste worse AND make us get even fatter somehow. Mcdonalds is by far the worst fast food chain, EXCEPT for their breakfast which is absolutely amazing, but they stop serving it after 10:30 am, they did start doing all day breakfast but after covid they stopped for some reason and never brought it back even though the only two things anybody on earth wants from mcdonalds is all day breakfast and to bring back the snack wraps.

Like all fast food, it was actually good when it started. You get someone who wants to make good shit, it gets popular, then it gets more investors and shit to make it grow. Then it spread, went corporate, and after enough hands changed in leadership, eventually you get an asshole MBA trying to profit max and cuts corners to get it. And over time, that corner cutting and bullshit stacks up and you get negative feedback loops going, and shit spirals downhill. Nostalgia is what keeps shit like this alive, and because there isn't an immediate negative response to corner cutting, they get away with profit maxxing, and jump ship to avoid the problems after a year or two. Then the next MBA comes in to profit maxx and shit repeats.

This is also why some fast food places are still good while others are shit. CFA corporate keeps their shit tight and running properly, but the second they start cutting corners and installing DEI shit, CFA will join all the other failing fast food places.

Reminder: if NPCs stopped mindlessly consoooming for one god damn fucking minute, we could actually correct these fuckers. Imagine if Wendys did their AI price shit and no one entered a franchise for months until it was dropped. This is the reason why NPCs 100% deserve to get fleeced for being unthinking retards. You fucks have no god damn standards.

yea i was gonna say this but you said it already. i still have nostalgia for old mcdonalds. i went to the one i grew up by just to pop in and get a meal. when i was in preschool i remember i had a birthday there, me and my mom would walk there to get breakfast, when i was a little older we'd ride our bikes over there to get the arch deluxe, then in high school it was where we'd go on half days and get a bucket of fries and like 50 burgers and split it between us all. i had nothing but good and fun memories of the place and being there with friends.

well not only did they redo the entire inside, but it looks like shit and it's totally soulless now. no more counter ordering, no more inviting colors. no more playground. there was a black guy with 1 eye sitting there eating a little caesars pizza by his lonesome. i would have overlooked this nut job had it still been the same as it was back then. what fucking kid would have a mcdonalds bday now? what parents would even think that was a good idea? where did the bag of chocolate chip cookies go? dont they realize the kids that grew up with that are older now and want that slice of their life back, even for just a few minutes?

In the U.S., McDonald’s is navigating transaction reductions from its lower-income consumers making $45,000 and below. Kempczinski noted that these consumers are likely opting to eat at home as grocery/supermarket inflation has cooled faster than food-away-from-home. The company is focused on re-engaging these customers this year.

“The battleground is with the low-income consumer. What you’re going to see is more attention to affordability. Think about that as an absolute price point, which is more important for that consumer to get them into the restaurants than maybe value messaging,” Kempczinski said. “We are set up well to go after that; we have our Dollar 1, 2, 3 platform. There will be some activity at the local level to make sure we continue to provide value for the lower income consumer.”

This is exactly why everything is a reboot/remake/throwback/re-introduction these days.

Before McDonalds, you had car-service barbeques that would take a while and served whatever the cook knew how to make. There was no consistency and you never knew how long it might take.

McDonalds reinvented the formula through basically the scientific method. They created a simple product that could be made within minutes or received within seconds of ordering. They optimized their menu to trim the fat, optimized how their kitchen operates to increase speed (the Speedee system), and the result was a convenient hot meal at a reasonable price, something that was basically unheard of until that point.

As they grew they expanded into other markets while keeping their efficiency similar. They also had HUGE marketing efforts for different audiences (see >>20313509) as well as the McDonald Land for child-friendly marketing. If you can get a kid in, you get the parents too and now you've doubled your sales.

It doesn't need to be a high class experience, even as it was competing against In and Out in the early days. Marketing, brand awareness, and widespread appeal is better than doing any one thing well.

McDonalds used to be very different, and chances are it would have never taken off if it had started out as it is now, to be honest.

It used to be a lot cheaper, yet higher quality food and served much faster. The staff was well paid and customers well behaved.

The best you can do if you want to get an idea of what it was luke is to go to Japan. Yes, seriously. McDonalds there is today maybe not quite as good as the original restaurants back in the US during the golden era, but still leaps and bounds beyond anything you will find in the US today.

This is likely due to a concept called 生き甲斐 / "ikigai", which describes the traditional care and utmost respect Japanese people demonstrate in every single action they take. Apply 生き甲斐 to cooking, even if it's just at a McDonald's, and the result WILL be noticeable.

AFAIK it used real ice cream to mix them in the 50s, but switched to powdered mixes to save money and space in the 60s+, then switched back again when fridges became more electricity-efficient. nowadays, i think all fastfood use the same machines with the same premixed creams so they should taste more or less like the 50s, because current ice cream machines also use premixed boxes of cream.

Most fast food shakes taste like shit compared to how they did in the 00's. Mcdonalds in particular tastes especially bad though, like most fast food shakes are acceptable but Mcdonalds shakes taste like a chemical spill with chocolate syrup drizzled on top. Shake Shack has fantastic shakes but they aren't anywhere near as ubiquitous as McDick's and they're pretty expensive, but at least the food quality matches the price tag there. Honestly, shakes are the one thing that really seems different at every fast food place. Burgers on the other hand all taste practically identical and it really just depends on how big the patties they serve are and what toppings/condiments are available at each chain that makes the difference.

Went for the first time in like 6 years recently. Got a filet o fish combo. Cost me like over 10 dollars, even after downloading their scam app.

The food was TRASH. the amount of fish you get is miniscule, and more akin tona fish finger quality, mostly breading, in-between two extremely fake "bread" buns - more like air computer generated polystyrene. Was put together like complete shit but some lazy retard. Waaay too much tartre sauce that I had to scrape off and a poorly torn half slice of aheese. I made it through half the burger and just felt eating more would be terrible for my health. So I just picked the breading off and ate the fish meat, which was just micron thick pieces of "fish" and I couldn't even tell the species AT ALL - could have been anything. I tried the fries which were okay but too salty and the oil theybwere fried I'm seemed old and rancid and I figured inwas mostly just eating seed oil and salt with hardly any micronutrients. I got coke with sugar but it just tasted like watered down crap and the cup was so thin it started feeling it was going to break and leak everywhere. The whole meal aside from the meager amount of fish just didn't even seem like actualnrecognizable food. Just ultra processed garbage evlxtrenely high in macronutrient calories but with little to no actual nutrition. I threw most of the meal out and felt thoroughly ripped off and the old oil smell lingered in my car for a while. Honestly it felt more akin to a mild poisoning than a meal. And for the price incoumd have got cheap sushi or a decent sandwich or even a pie and a drink which would have actual meat instead.

Dunno why anyone would go there? Only positive was ordering on the TV screen which was fun - going through the extensive menu and seeing everything, not having to interact with anyone. But overall it was extremely poor quality good at a high price for what it is.

McDonald's has always been cheap slop for as long as I've been alive. I remember being treated to it as a kid in the early 1990's and it was the thin grey meat patties with sugared buns that you still know it to be today.

I want to imagine if you went back further to the original McDonald's that it was actually good. If I had to guess, original McDonald's was probably like what In-N-Out Burger is today or similar "old fashioned"-style walk up burger places, like pic rel being one that I'm familiar with.
