McDonald’s Franchise Owners Confirm: Fast Food Giant “Facing Its Final Days!”
[link to theantimedia.org]

San Diego, CA — Embattled fast food giant McDonald’s is making headlines yet again. The company has just launched its much advertised all-day breakfast program, but as that campaign rolls out, franchise owners are voicing their concerns over what may be the company’s dying days.

As we covered at Anti-Media in June, the McDonald’s franchise has been shrinking for the first time in the company’s over 40 year history:

“McDonald’s announced in April that it would be closing 700 ‘underperforming’ locations, but because of the company’s sheer size — it has 14,300 locations in the United States alone — this was not necessarily a reduction in the size of the company, especially because it continues to open locations around the world. It still has more than double the locations of Burger King, its closest competitor.”

However, for the franchisees, the picture looks much worse than simply 700 stores closing down.

First time on the breakfast all-day thing.

Egg McMuffin was not offered. Hash Browns not offered. Which is what I wanted.

So I got the biscuit, bacon, egg thing but the biscuit was like a rock and the bacon was sausage.

Nasty.

All they are now is a negro magnet. They should have changed their name to McNaggers years ago. It would be more descriptive.

naggers are the problem . In our predominantly Caucasian area we had a McD a block away staffed with naggers and service was so bad the community drove 3 miles to a Caucasian run and staffed McD. Corporate McD finally 'reopened' it in a lighter shade and it has been flourishing. nagger employees are scheduled for the 'off' hours .

The McD Nagger CEO lost billions in his tenure and the stock went up 3% when he left.
naggers - guaranteed destruction from franchise store to corporate level known worldwide.

They're gonna turn into Quiznos who shits on their franchises just to try to make corporate an extra buck.

All these companies feel the need to expand or die... they want to grow grow grow to keep the shareholders happy and keep the fractional reserve machine going... even the ones that get so big they can't really grow any further...

rather than being happy with stability they start to experiment and put pressure on their franchises with stuff like this....

They could try improving the taste of the food they do have first....
