Great job, everyone! Remember to support locally-owned restaurants over these corrupt US food monopolies.

Snip:

McDonald’s has lost over $7 billion in revenue due to a boycott campaign initiated by pro-Palestinians around the globe against Israel’s barbarism in Gaza.

The confirmed losses were highlighted in a recent report by Israeli financial media.

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, a grassroots initiative, has targeted McDonald's due to its support for Israel's campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The current boycott campaign against Israeli goods began in October 2023 after McDonald’s in the occupied Palestinian territories announced it had donated thousands of free meals to Israeli soldiers.

Honestly it's kind of interesting that pro-Palestine people were more likely to eat at mcdonald's than to go to starbucks. I wonder why.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 30 points 6 months ago

You're probably being facetious but as pointed out down below, it's because white liberals aren't going to give up their treats while everybody else who can't afford $8 coffee milkshakes was eating at McDonald's.

Starbucks was never an official BDS target, so not as many people boycotted it.

Among the things I've read was that apparently Starbucks lost so many customers in Kuwait they shut (all?) their branches there, so there's that for what it's worth.

Never underestimate caffeine addiction.

I know McDonald’s has coffee too but it’s always been terrible.

[-] Biggay@hexbear.net 4 points 6 months ago

Unlike McDonalds theres not always a great replacement for Starbucks, its expensive just like McDicks, but if you want coffee treats fast you gotta go to starbucks,.

Its still pretty common for people to give starbucks giftcards, I stfg everytime I go to Starbucks its because people send me gift cards for it. I dont like Starbucks.
