r/McDonalds

So I saw the new updated rewards..

4,000 points is good for $3 off.your order (US app).

Your McDonald's point is worth $0.00075.

Go McDonald's!!!!!! 🤬

I like to pay cash at fast food so my wife can’t track my diet. I’m sick of having to beg a McDonalds employee to come to the counter and take cash. Is this problem just McDonalds or will I have the same issue at BK or Carl’s Jr and Arby’s? I think In n Out is still cool at the counter. What fast food places still have someone at the counter to take cash easily?

on edit: if you’re going to attack me for hiding my diet please state how long you’ve been married, lol. I’ve been married 26 years and we are until death do us part.

McDonald's is a burger chain that doubles as one of the world's largest landlords. The company collects more than $10 billion in annual rent from its franchisees. It owns the buildings of roughly 80% of its 45,000-plus restaurants and the land under about 56% of them.
Interesting article touching upon McD‘s business model, with real estate holdings estimated at ~$120 billion. Via the MotleyFool, unfortunately linked through the Yahoo Finance site (if you think McDonalds is bad, Yahoo is the dysfunctional armpit of the internet).

Nothing new here, but they understand those with low income (poor folk) are running out of that extra cash to patronize McD. It’s not unique to MickeyD, these higher gas prices combined with customer squeeze is becoming interesting for a broad variety of businesses and the economy. Oh, the fun little game.

Personally, I go there every so often and have a saltless McDouble or McCrispy Deluxe, fries and a Dr Pepper, no ice. I use the app and/or the survey discounts. I usually spend ~$8, don’t get/need a soda refill and I’m not angry about it.

I’m mildly curious about the McD business model and always amazed at the dichotomy of reactions about anything related to McDonalds.

When I was a kid in the 90s happy meal boxes had cheap mazes and art featuring whatever toy was included. I remember learning about tortoises(they ate prickly pears which made me love them because prickly pears are evil) from one of them Now it’s just a red box with an ad for whatever IP they’re using for their toy this year. I weep for the children!

I tried again. Gotta free 6pc I ate like 2 or 3 then looked down and was kinda mad I had so many left. Why do y'all love these fn things?
