Nailed it there fella. Bravo.If you don't like McDonalds, do use them. Pretty simple really.
The internet would have you thinking their food is harmful and ultra low quality.
Pretty much like the countless fake KFC images showing gods knows what.
The reality is very different.
I've been doing research for over a year now as i'm re-training to open a cafe/diner.
Through that, i have been spending a lot of time on all the successful food outlets. I've been replicating many menu items just to get into the swing of things.
The recurring theme is that they cannot afford to mess up using low quality ingredients. Most of their savings seem to be by sourcing ingredients in bulk. Then trying to make extra money by selling side items at increasingly higher prices.
McDonalds problem is that they exploited Covid and pushed up their prices. Instead of responding to the market, they kept the prices high and hoped messing around with the menus would hide it. Well it didn't work. People are not stupid.
What was once a cheap way of feeding your kids/family is now a treat item.
These titans of food and like many in the car industry just cannot adapt quick enough to new trends. They cannot seem to accept that sometimes reversing prices has to be done to survive.
VW, BMW, Ford will be wiped out by Chinese EV brands soon. They have been at the top so long that they thought they were too big to fail. Well like the Rags, we know different!
Can't believe how these mammoth firms think we are stupid. The general public now are getting wiser and wiser every day. Especially now that your hard earned doesn't go as far as it used to. People are savvy nowadays.
Another outlet I won't have an ounce of sympathy for if they go bust. I would feel sorry for the staff though at the inevitable job losses.
