A slow and sad death may be occurring for McDonald’s across the United States, as franchise owners say that, “Probably 30% of operators are insolvent.” The CEO is lacking consistent leadership, owners say, and his decisions are creating an ongoing “deep depression” for these restaurants, as they “jump from one failed initiate to another.

The food is terrible, the service is lost on employees that really don’t care about the job. And the menu is ridiculous in offering a variety that the store can’t keep up with. Good stock to dump.

Missouri and it was just shy of 8 bucks.
Makes sense, however I feel that the large “good food fast” establishments are always so quick to be government regulated. Requirements like the packaging doctrine, or nutritional value breakdown are enforced only to the large companies while being completely ignored in the case of smaller ones. I occasionally will eat breakfast at a greasy spoon diner and though I claim to be no foremost authority on stipulations such as caloric intake, or salt, transfat content, I’d be willing to wager that these little diners are far worse than the fast food giants, yet you won’t find a thing within that capacity annotated on a thing served there. Just a personal observation, that’s all. And, I frequent McDonald’s approx once or twice annually, but no one had better tell me not to.
And what about the hourly wage? McDonald’s has to be rescued.
I agree, it’s like the expression if it isn’t broke don’t fix it and what McDonalds had was working so they should not have made changes to be politically correct.
That is true and in many ways there is less chance of getting foodborne illness from fast food because most of their food and/or ingredients are prepackaged so there is less “handling” of the food.
very true, I have been to some McDonalds where they are already using ordering kiosks which means eventually jobs at McDonalds will be replaced due to the increase in the minimum wage.
I agree, when I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s the restaurants were extremely clean and the service was great but now when I go to McDonalds most of the restaurants are filthy and the service is poor. The standards have really dropped over the years.
