    Can McDonald's Survive?

    The new CEO of McDonald's is unveiling a new master plan today to reverse the rapid decline of the most famous restaurant we all grew up with. I think they're fucked, I don't see how McDonald's can be anything than what it is, this young generation has turned its back on it - once young people decide you're not cool, bad for their image, you are MySpace.

    Even if McDonald's wanted to remodel itself after Five Guys, Shake Shack etc it can't, from what I've read they couldn't even source the new/better ingredients to supply their thousands of restaurants plus they'd have to raise their prices substantially. 80% of McDonald's restaurants are franchises and the franchisees are freaking out.

      that model has died. that's one the beauties of capitalism. even the greatest mordor-like companies can disappear literally overnight with a few missteps and changes in society.

      the system that creates that antiseptic weird food is was what made them successful. it's in their dna. they can't change that.

              they are always busy around here. i think they'd be better off to stick to cheap basic fast food rather than trying to compete with places like five guys. people don't go to mcdonalds for the taste, they go for the cheap prices and fast service.

                  Fuck 'em.

                  The service sucks 10 times more than the food.

                  It's the only place where they have trouble with a paypal card.
                  Wrong shit on the menu at late night; I place the order then they say "sorry we are not serving that at this time".

                      If you think McDonalds will go the way of the dinosaur, you're crazy. You'll be the dinosaur first.

                          I hear that but major blunders can bring anything down.

                                  True, but McDonalds will adapt before they die.

                                  Meanwhile I think 5 Guys makes an awesome burger. Hopefully they will be able to stick around and are not a fad.

                                      Perfect subject for me today.
                                      I used to be a fry cook at McD's when I was a teen and have come across a perfect location for a "hamburger shack".

                                      Rent is rock bottom and the only reason it's available is all the people who rented the place before got closed for not having a grease trap and interceptor.

                                      But I need $8k to put the grease interceptor in so that burst my bubble.

                                      Anybody want to buy blackmonsters.com for $8k?

                                          First burger with fries at 5 guys in Jupiter Florida was amazing. Loved the experience.

                                          2nd burger with fries in Pigeon Forge Tennessee took a little to long, was way to messy and the fries were good. Felt as though it was overpriced.

                                          3rd burger (again in Pigeon Forge) took way to long, was a sloppy mess and the fries sucked. All that for more than a decent burger at a sit down would cost. Never had a whopper and fries that were so bad and they cost 1/2 as much. Took the survey and told them about the experience, never heard back.

                                          Sorry 5 Guys, but you won't see this burger loving guy again. Inconsistent quality, overpriced and no followup to a poor service.

                                              The thing about McDonalds is that people eating there kinda deserves what they get.
                                              It's poison and you'd have to be dumber than a piece of cardboard to go there (unless you are drunk as fuck lol).

                                              Sadly, there will always be uneducated people so it'll be a long while until they close down.

                                                  i don't see much difference between mcdonalds or any other fast food place. its all just beef, fried chicken and fried potatoes.
