Do they have a lounger in the toilet? Cause that's where I'd spend most of my time until they change that burger to actual beef.Again, look at all of the pictures. It's not just a fireplace. They are lounges. You know what people do in lounges? I'll give you a hundred guesses and one hint: It rhymes with lounge.McDonald's sells burgers and fries. Customers go there to buy burgers and fries. They have a clown who does charity work and scares some people.Not sure what you're getting at here.It's the identity. McDonald's has been very successful for decades and employs smart people who know the power of branding a lot better than any of us. They've spend hundreds of millions to establish a corporate identity. That's going to be very hard to change because of their size and how well established their brand is. They won't go out of business but I don't think burgers and fries are a growth sector. They've clearly struggled to redefine themselves beyond burgers and fries.So it's the name?

A fireplace isn't going to significantly alter this.

If you truly believe they don't use real beef, I feel sorry for you.Do they have a lounger in the toilet?

Yes. Because no other company has ever successfully rebranded themselves. Oops. Excuse me.

There are so many better burger options available...that's the problem.
Hell...coming up with a list of burger spots that are as consistently bad or worse that McD's is actually the difficult task.
I'm sure they do...it's all the other stuff. Bleach and fillers...it's just nasty. Trying to stretch the burger beyond belief.My mom used to do the same by adding flour or bread crumbs and onions and peppers to the patty.
You can't have a discussion without throwing in little digs and stupid comments like a child?
No...just the overly sarcastic "Oops" siht thrown in...
If I were them, I'd consider diversification. They're a huge corporation with tremendous resources and have some experience with growing smaller brands (e.g. Chipotle).
I do. I was making a joke. I actually do that quite a lot. Again, sorry if you found it offensive.
I find it hard to believe a grown man does that in normal conversation but I'll take your word for it...carry on.
McDonalds - if it went back to the quality of say 15 years ago, would be a significant improvement on McDonalds today. Just terrible tasting burgers, and even their fries seem to be much worse.
Probably...my bad.
The fries have definitely gone downhill. They used to be the main reason one went there.
that is exactly what i am talking about i do not have fast food of any type hardly at all i try not to spend money on that but if i do i have to have subway or something like that micky d just gives me three that is what i say take that to the bank bromigo
McD's is a lot of things, but "greasy" isn't one of them. At least not relative to other burger/fry joints.McDonald's is greasy, fast food joint....it's going to be this no matter what type of furniture or other #### you put inside the store.This makes perfect sense.

Not that that's a compliment, of course.
They also had a dynamic CEO who was ruthless and cunning and wasn't going to let Apple fail. He was essentially a Michael Jordan in a suit. Who is McDonald's CEO? I honestly don't know, but considering I've worked in the stock market for 15 years, that's saying something.tdoss said:
You ever peeled off the bun and toppings of a McDonalds patty and examined it? Looks like the surface of the moon; dry and full of weird craters. There's grease at McDonalds, but their patties are hockey pucks. The drippings are most likely from condiments, overly processed cheese and the ####### sweat from unhealthy people option to actually eat their meal inside a store.come on brohan get real they make fries by frying them in grease they fry chicken patties in grease they grill burgers in thier own fat also called grease and if you go in to one of those joints they have grease on the tables grease on the booths and so on i mean jeez mabye some other places are worse but that is like saying your car gets better mileage than mine so your does not use gas just come on take that to the bnakpollardsvision said:McD's is a lot of things, but "greasy" isn't one of them.

What GM said.
Not obsessed at all. I just think it's funny that some people are confused with this headline and take it as McDonald's is a failing company. That's all.
When I was in college there was a McDonalds and Andys (think Wendys clone) in the same shopping center parking lot. Went through the drive through at Andys for the burger and McDs for the fries.
I dont think anyone mentioned it being a failing company but you.Not obsessed at all. I just think it's funny that some people are confused with this headline and take it as McDonald's is a failing company. That's all.
OKI dont think anyone mentioned it being a failing company but you.Not obsessed at all. I just think it's funny that some people are confused with this headline and take it as McDonald's is a failing company. That's all.
Everyone else is just stating how crappy their food is and how they are losing market share because of better/healthier/tastier/cheaper options.
That's because they are not fresh off the griddle when you order a burger at McDonalds. It is pre made..and then put in a hot bin. If you got that burger fresh off the griddle it would drip with fat grease.
