With the review bombing and public hatred of that McDonald's location? Fired is more like it.

I don't think that McDonald's gives single fuck about review bombing

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The corporation? Definitely not. But review bombing and boycotting will hurt the profits of that franchised location, and its owner certainly will.

Do people really look at or read reviews of McDonald's?

[-] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

When you're an out of towner looking for the nearest place to go and get coffee or use a public bathroom, reviews matter.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

I have never looked at the reviews for a fast food franchise. They're all much the same, which is kinda the point.

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The food and ingredients are the same, but the quality can vary a lot depending on how bad of job they do cooking it. When you've been disappointed enough by buying dry and borderline-burned breakfast, you stop trusting that all locations are equal.

You research reviews of McDonald where you are going to get burger? Really?

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

If I'm stopping by somewhere out of town, yes. Food quality varies by location, and I'm not going to waste my money on an undercooked meal at McDonald's when the competitor down the street is better.

You do not check the reviews before you go to McDonalds. Just quit.

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

And you do not speak for anybody other than yourself.

I'm not directing this at you personally when I say this, but what the fuck is so hard for most people to believe about the idea? Is it a foreign concept to treat franchized fast food places run by different franchisees as not equal? I'm not the only one who uses reviews to decide if I should skip a crappy location.

I meant more like, that's the best accolade you may get as someone working for McDonald's. But yes, McDonald's absolutely has a reason to support the status quo in terms of corporate rule.
