I guess Trump doesn't help, but it's also easy to point the finger. If eating at a fast food chain is no longer fast, cheap nor food (let's be honest). Is it then strange that sales are declining?
If only we could've known ahead of time
Never mind that they’ve been seeing a sales decline for longer than just the past 100 days, and their sales declines aren’t limited to just the US.
Here in Australia their burgers have gotten so expensive, and so small - you’d be forgiven for confusing it with one of those gummy burger packets!
At least Hungry Jacks (our version of Burger King) has largely still maintained the same size; the Whopper offers infinitely more value and the Angry variant (spicy fried onions and jalapeños) kicks ass!
It’s been well over a decade since I have eaten there. I’d have to be desperate as fuck to ever eat there, like being in the middle of no where and mcd is the only place around.
Lol sure, I don't mind companies blaming trump. But what about the decreasing sales before 2025?
Does the effects of tariffs travel backwards through time? 🤔
(Mcdonalds is so bad, you might as well just get food from your local Chinese restaurant, which cost about the same and is much healthier)
Best headline photo they could have picked
Buying fast food is humiliating for customers and employees.
It should be seen as a last resort for emergencies only, not people's main way to sustain themselves.
Quit supporting genocide and fascism, then we'll talk
