McDonalds struggling

[RadcliffeRick]

Can’t stand Subway ! Jersey Mike’s are pretty decent

Are you still travelling into town?

Jeeze, really?? You must eat in some real rough pubs. If you came to mine for a barbecue I would be ashamed to serve you shite like McDonalds but each to their own I suppose.

Part of my job is entertaining clients and taking them to pretty much the poshest restaurants in London - I more often than not think ‘meh’ to the meal I get and get a Burger King on the way home from Waterloo.

Back home now, thanks. Didn’t have time to stop in so no news on my end

 

[Mike N]

Absolute emergency food only.

So you don't eat in the posh restaurants, paid for, but wait to get a Burger King on the way home ? I'm calling bullshit...

No i eat in fancy restaurants all the time, other day I ate at cinnamon club - Indian place near Westminster but pretty posh, lovely setting in a basically massive library room, small dish courses, all lovely food but nothing filling - same for most of the places I go too. Usually after meal and a couple beers later I’m in a queue for McDonald’s/Burger King on way home - I can admit to preferring shit junk food most of time to the posh restaurant food I go to regularly.

Where's your pub CB? (Churchlawton perhaps?)

That’s only because you’re more likely to get stabbed in the one in Midd than get fed!! :-)

I like it.
Have one a week and enjoy it.
I only buy the app meals though, probably half the price.

I like the sausage McMuffin with egg breakfast with fresh orange and coffee, not the most healthiest so can only have one on rare occasions.

Is there actually any basis to McDonald's supposedly 'struggling'. It's always busy from what I've seen.

The stores (I refuse to call them restaurant's) are pretty empty every time I pass. Having said that, you pretty much have to drive to the ones out here.

 

[argyle]

Don't know how anyone eats that stuff. Same for Burger King.

Plenty of much better independent places around town for a burger.

 

[idahoblues]

My nearest McD’s is 45 miles away, I don’t have a problem with them but just so many other, better choices available I very rarely eat there

They’ve been struggling a while because their cheap meals aren’t cheap anymore, that’s why you see deals popping up on tv. Haven’t had one in over a year thank god even my daughter doesn’t want them anymore. Fast food is supposed to be cheap a bit like chippy tea it’s getting too expensive now as an alternative to cooking and people are switching, thank god.

It’s a good point , kfc/mcdonalds large meal nowdays is £7-10

Called in a pub which I think was called The Farmers between St Annes & Blackpool yesterday late lunch, in the middle of a midweek booze up.

Admittedly it was 'burger day' but, had a pretty good burger in a decent brioche bun with 3 toppings (cheese, bacon & jalapeno's along with chips & a couple of onion rings for £5 which I believe is the McD special offer price, admittedly it didn't come with a drink but, was considerably better than anything I've had in a UK Donalds.

Bring back Wimpy.

Far better, with proper table service. McD has been shit for years, that's assuming it wasn't shit to start with. I have never seen the appeal. (Except, maybe, that some people like consistency, the same taste in every town, even if it's piss poor. That's how keg beer took off.)
