Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So, they're planning on not lowering prices but instead waiting until folks can't buy groceries so they come back to where they can afford to eat. Most likely also collude with other brands so they also won't lower their prices.
The blasé tone in which they describe a business strategy of 'the poor will come back when they have nowhere else to go' is horrendous.
Also, the soulless analyst's name is Nick Satan, this existence can't be real.
Death to Amerikkka
Remember, McDonalds Corp doesn't make money off of the sale of a burger. They make money off of real estate and franchise licensining agrements.
I believe they also make a portion of each burger sale
The franchisee pays McDonalds for everything. McPatties? Gotta buy them from McDonalds Corp. McDrinkCups? Gotta pay Ronald his royalties. Uniforms, menus, etc etc.
But what is the most valuable part of this McSupplyChain? Its probably the franchisee agreement and the real estate.
Mcdonald's is a real estate company. The New York Times is a gaming company. Delta, American, and Southwest airlines are credit card companies.
Soooo if their insurance premiums were to go up... that would really hit them where it hurts? Hold's up bag of sugar over cement mixer
Wtf, fast food used to be cheaper than groceries in burger land?? Backwards ass country
Groceries are expensive but the margin on groceries, the actual profit per product, is ridiculously low for the retailer. They make up for this low rate of profit, with volume, getting 1 to 3% profit on each cart of groceries is feasible when you're serving thousands of customers a day.
Costco only has a 2.5% profit margin for example. And that is with lots of store brands, and very shrewd negotiating to get massive volume discounts.
