@WillaKissing a good friend of mine, who is politically clueless and liberal, started complaining that the minimum wage hikes would make fast food too expensive. I mean this guy was really hot under the collar about it. Knowing that I'm a conservative, he thought I'd join him bashing the minimum wage thing. I just laughed. All he could think about was his Big Mac was gonna be too expensive. It didn't dawn on him how many small businesses would go under leaving people unemployed. The only way some people are going to wake up is when it kicks them in the ass.
Walmart is taking many customers from traditional fast food establishments with their deli meals for $5.97, including an ample serving of protien and 2 sides. People are raving about this unmatchable bargain on social media and trending more every day!!! One popular option is 8pc. boneless chicken wings. McNuggets, CANNOT compete. WM has superior food infrastructure, already in place! Believe me, this is an historic move that that will go down in Business History and how they will overcome the present economic condition!!!
@Oster1 The deep fat frying oils are not healthy even if they are fresh…canola, soy, corn etc. GMO’s and too much Omega 6 in them. That’s bad enough but after frying one batch of food in oil and reusing it, whether keeping it in the fryer and hot all day long or reheating the next day is dangerous to health. It creates free radical damages in the body, can unravel DNA. My daughter had lupus at a young age & had to learn not to eat that stuff, even fries from a restaurant. We’d make them at home, slice up fresh potatoes, coat in oil & bake them till golden.
You know what, this really doesn't make any sense at all.
McDonald's is the busiest fast food of them all, with the exception of one here. One half hour wait on drive thru right now. Out of about 60 different fast food places in town. We literally have them all here in this little valley. In fact there is three, probably four, McDonald's in this valley alone.
Fewer employees they will limit their own business, because of the wait time. Customers will go elsewhere.
@Fungirlmmm Very interesting! I will researh this! There are so many APP deals and I'm a flip phone user. This makes sense and intriguing , to me. I will research further!!! 🤗❤️😘💐
Heard about that this morning. All management staff to take 3 days paid leave...at the end of which time they will tell them which of their number have been laid off. Everyone must be sweating bullets.
For a long time I believed that McDonald should split in two or more divisions to better posture themselves for different customer bases.
In lots of small towns and old neighborhoods they have become like the town-square diner where old folks gather for coffee and to sit and chat. And for them it seems like the wrong menu and service arrangement.
They are also the dependable stop-over place for travelers looking for a (usually) clean restroom and a quick bite.
Fast food in general may be on the way out. Per my random checks, by the time you add taxes and tips it's pretty close to $10 or $12 per person. And to see the "Help Needed" signs in practically every fast food place, the prices are going to be even higher.
There ain't hardly nobody working in those places anyway, who exactly are they planning on laying off? I mean you can't really get rid of something that's not even there
I saw this last night. People have been complaining about price increases for months now. I've seen so much of it. The price/value metric, has crossed into the abyss. McDonalds has been woke for decades and must now, conform to their foolishness. The radical left has never had a grasp of Economics 101, nor World History 101. Fools will always be foolish!!!
