    And what we see is, it’s really kind of a two-tier economy. If you’re upper-income, earning over $100,000, things are good … What we see with middle- and lower-income consumers, it’s actually a different story.

    McDonalds is now high value food. Never thought I’d see the day.

    You know… You could just choose to pay your employees more. You don’t need to petition the government to change the minimum wage to do that…

      McDonald’s corporation doesn’t actually employ all its fast food workers, the franchise owners do. Franchise owners are free to pay their workers more. Some do, such as in high cost of living areas where they’d otherwise be unable to hire anyone.

    It’s been a year since I last had McDonald’s and I don’t miss it. Food is way too expensive for what it is, and no, a data mining app will not fix that.

    I don’t care if they pay me. They broke the cool. For years it was a fun and cheap place and now it’s everything that it wasn’t . Been 4 years since I went and it will be an eternity plus before I ever waste my money again.
