Have not eaten at a McDonald's in nearly a decade.

The only McDonald's close to hear is like five miles away. Because of this pdd 'oasis effect' the drive thru is always slammed and the wait times are fucking nuts.

It completely destroys the point of fast food. Long drive, long wait times. Sheeeit, I could make a grilled cheese in 1/8th of the time if I was really hungry.

Then there's the fact the food is just lousy tasting. Completely pointless for me to eat there.

Definitely this. Not just the food titles but the name of the business. Ronald's Restaurant sound better, more inviting, and a bit cosier. "Ronnies" for short, and maybe keep the McD brand as their kids menu or drive thru menu (which I believe should be different to their restaurant menu).

I think they should probably hide their kitchen too, nobody needs to see what goes on back there, and introduce more gluten free and wheat free items.

Perspective.
As a cyclist I get angry when motorists don't pay attention and put my life in danger because this affects me (and my life) directly. But you seem to be getting angry about things that don't effect you at all.

There must be an underlying issue that's troubling you. Maybe you're not getting enough sex.

Or maybe your self loathing has reached a point where you're afraid that public demand for healthy food may force fast food chains to alter their menu to cater to these demends which in turn forces you to eat healthier (if you insist on eating at these establishments) or find alternative ways to kill yourself. Because that's what you're doing by eating fast food. You're killing yourself. you know it and that's why you do it. Self loathing.

I'm not crazy about McDonald's, but the Big Mac, the nuggies, and the nuggy sauces are really good. The only problem is that the food is too expensive for what it is. Shit, a Big Mac is almost $5 with tax (It's either $4.29 or $4.59, idk) It's not even that big.

For 6 bucks, I could go to my local bagel place, and get a sandwich twice the size, which would fill me up more than the McMuffin and hashbrowns, and a coffee the same size.

Same deal with lunch, it's comparable to any other fast food place in food per dollar, but grosser than other fast food joints. Still worse than local deli.

They have literally nothing going for them anymore. Taco Bell has them beat for most food you can get for cheap. Wendy's has them on food quality. Hardee's/Carl's jr has better service. Burger King keeps putting our new items people are into.

Over the last few years, I only ever ate at McDonald's because they were open 24 hours, I put in a lot of late nights, and cooking late wasn't really possible because I had someone sleeping on the couch in my living room, which is open to the kitchen. Then they decided not to be 24 hours anymore and I stopped.

Also sometimes when I woke up really early I would grab breakfast from them. But a tiny-ass McMuffin with a hash brown and a coffee ended up costing twice as much as a 2-egg, 2-meat, homefries and toast meal at the diner next door, so I said fuck it and just started calling in a breakfast take-out order there. Walking in instead of driving up to a window is worth the money I save. Also the wait staff there is actually friendly and if you're a regular they actually ask about your family and stuff. You know, they behave like human fucking beings.

Fuck McDonald's. Why would I want shittier food, lousy service, at a higher price?

McDonald's been out of touch for awhile trying to push their angus beef crap and premium wraps/sandwiches/salads. They killed themselves when they made the big mac close to $4 (3.75) bucks in metro cities like LA. The big mac was one of the most popular of all time and they tried to milk it rather than promote it properly. It was their flag ship burger and they try to overprice it? Eff off. Especially since its pretty much just mac sauce and an extra bun compared to getting a mcdouble with mac sauce. Too much nickle and diming for every little thing too.

I loved the McMuffins for breakfast too but they only had them on sale for 2 for 3$ once in a while and even then they couldn't substitute the coffee for orange juice without extra charges.

Too many alternatives like Carls Jr, Jack In The Box and Wendys. Along with In N out, five guys. I haven't bought from mcdonalds in YEARS. Last time was only when I had a craving for their fries. Bought two large fries in their drive thru and it came to almost 6 bucks. They charged me 2.69 or something for large fries, national avg is like 2.19?

Also I think it's the start that they close down stores, lay off employees...then in a few months open up with kiosks that take orders. You knew this was going to happen thanks to obama care.

It saddens me to see that McD's is in decline in America. I've lived in parts of N. America and Asia, and I have to say that McD's has grown complacent on its own turf to the point that its Asian franchises are outdoing it in every aspect of fast food. Ironically I believe that McD's will have to learn from it's franchisees if they want to compete.

Western fast food chains are viewed as an affordable luxury, even in first world cities like Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong etc. Since people there are willing to pay a premium for fast food, McD's in Asia has successfully put up and maintained a facade of being a higher end eatery. Sounds like an oxymoron, but just compare the difference in the menus and presentation of food between the Hong Kong McCafe and the Canadian one. In order to keep up appearances and customer satisfaction, they also hire competent personnel, not bottom of the barrel idiots, that are actually well paid (by Asian standards).

They also have a rotating menu that taps into the latest food "trends" as >>6627225 ironically suggested. This includes a Teriyaki "Shogun" burger, as well as various wraps that could be considered tacos. "Starbucks 4 kids" is covered under the Mc Cafe concept, and I'd go as far as to say that in places like Hong Kong, McD's is actually trying to cut in on a slice of Starbuck's action with their aggressive expansion of McCafe concept stores.

Here are the links to the Mc Cafe menus for HK and Canada if you'd like to compare:
http://www.mcdonalds.ca/ca/en/menu/full_menu/mccafe.html
http://www.mcdonalds.com.hk/en/mccafe/menu.html

And for the rest of you who tl;dr this post, McD's offers 24 hours free delivery in most Asian cities.

My suggestions for McDonalds:

1. Keep a wide variety of cheap shit options

2. Change the cheap McChicken. People don't get it because they are babies and can't handle spicy foods.

3. Continue with the 1/3 pounder sirloin burgers, but provide them with actual fresh toppings and get rid of the fucking swiss cheese on the bacon burger, and have actual fresh cooked real bacon on them.

4. Make a damn good pulled pork sammich. People would kill for that.

5. Offer local specialties to appeal to the area in which the McDonalds is in. BBQ items that are decent in the KC area, pizzas in other areas, pork tenderloin sammiches in the midwest, hot dogs, cheese curds, tacos, etc.

6. Stop trying to brew coffee in store. Ship in cold brew instead, and use that as a base for all the coffee items.

7. Switch back to beef tallow for frying shit in. Fuck the vegans.

8. That being said, offer a damn good healthy, "muh organic muh non-gmo" vegetarian sandwich, maybe even multiple varieties

9. Stop ripping off your employees via paying them shit/not paying them at all.

A kroket is a deep fried, breaded snack made of something that resembled cheese, and beef (Beef ragout?). Kind of like a giant croquettas that you will normally find in Spanish Tapas Bars. The McKroket costs about 2.50 Euros as of this posting

>Biting into it, the steaming, hot goo oozes out with salty flavors. It’s hard to taste the beef as it is overpowered by the cheese and that mustard-like dressing.

If you held that in your ands and rolled it all into a ball you'd be left with something smaller than the size of a golf ball. So after eating that you'd be hungry again in less then twelve seconds.

I'm glad they're closing, they tried to do "pumped full of preservatives but we're calling it healthy and organic" food down here in South Carolina for a month and then scrapped the name change (cus that's all it was).

Wendy's is a pure shit hole.
First experience, ordered a new "fresh" salad......the whole entire thing was just rotten lettuce which I have no idea why they would serve it that way.
next 4 experiences all sucked too, Muslim fuckers need to stop buying into franchise restaurants that have pork (bacon) on 3/4 of the menu. I once asked for them to put bacon on my baconator and the guy working got so mad he started cursing at me through the drive thru window so I threw my large soda at him and drove away. Luckily that store's franchise license was revoked a couple weeks later from multiple complaints spanning years
