McDonald’s burger empire set for unprecedented growth over the next 4 years with 10,000 new stores

10,000 new McFlurry machines that are out of order

McDonald's used to be a decent fast food choice in France. But nowadays it's gotten super expensive and the portions are tiny, like the big Mac almost fits the palm of my hand. I'd rather go to any other fast food chain or small kebab joint when I need to scratch that itch before I'd go to McDonald's again.

Mcdonalds seems dead set on becoming some weird roadside vending machine. Last time I went they are making dine in areas uncomfortable (concrete benches and stools), built a wall between employees and customers, no play place, self pay kiosk. Felt like I was being trained like a lab rat to serve myself and encouraged not to hang around. Feels like an extreme model of having zero employees and training your customers to be your employee.

McDonalds is primarily a Real Estate company. Their food service is secondary.

Where?

This chain is like an infestation of poison mushrooms. Where is it not present yet that could merit opening another of choke-n-puke?

/doubt

Yeah maybe they're opening 10,000 new stores, but when a Quarter pounder meal costs $17+tax (CAD) who's going to eat there anymore??

Oh, you want a single order of large fries? Sure, that'll be $5.79+tax. Nearly $7 for literally one potato worth of fries. Get fucked.

No clue how people are so fond of McDonalds, there are literally so many other fast food choices that are superior in every way

As an American: I’m sorry we’ve unleashed this upon you, rest of the world :(

Hooray! What the world really needs right now is more cattle farming for burgers and more people driving to go and get their burgers.

After raising prices and doing away with all the good deals in their app (and adding an arbitration clause to it's tos)... I certainly don't eat there as much anymore. I'd be surprised if this expansion is sustainable.

But wait, I thought "pEoPlE dOn'T wAnT tO woRk!"

Maybe McDonald's should be putting more effort into confronting the abusive staff?

McDonald's problem.

It plans to open 900 new stores in the U.S. and 1,900 in some of its bigger international markets like Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia. The company said it plans another 7,000 stores in other international markets; more than half of those would be in China.

Somewhat ironically, this actually seems like a result of increased living conditions in developing countries.

I also wonder how much of the first world growth is because previously spots without enough foot traffic are now viable with the rise of mcdelivery...

That's 7 new locations per day for 4 years straight. Mind boggling... I wonder what the internal org chart for building this out looks like

Sugar, Salt, Fat, the perfect ingredients,
to cultivate obese addicts with failing kidneys.

But you're "loving it" right?
Same as I, why would that be?.. :)

In the future, all restaurants are Taco Bell. Didn't McDonalds see the movie Demolition Man? We need to freeze Sylvester Stallone already so we can thaw him out.

Hmm. The McDonalds in my town had a small fire in the kitchen in 2020. It has been surrounded by "Reopening soon" signs since then. Color me sceptical.

Quantity over quality

whyyyyyyyyy

Not a surprise. People love going there.

I always love the McDonald's hate. It's amazing how much seething it brings along with it.

I sneak out probably once a month for McDonald's, it's my junk food treat and I'll never give up my occasions.
