McDonald's plans to roll out bigger burgers

[Old School]

McDonald's is pushing to turn around its U.S. business, which has seen sales and customer visits slip for two years in a row at established locations amid intensifying competition. Already this year, the company has made a number of announcements including a simplified grilled chicken recipe, curbing the use of antibiotics in chicken, and a pay bump and vacation time for workers at company-owned stores.

In a column published in The Chicago Tribute last week, McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook said he's taking action to transform McDonald's into a "modern, progressive burger company."

Vacations for company owned stores! Majority of McDonald's are Franchise. Read this story in local paper....

This McDonald's is a franchise as are most and owns 3-4 other McDonald's locally while paying their workers 7.25 an hour and planning on expanding.......



I can't afford to pay a my workers a wage above poverty but I will be adding another store and I will continue to provide my workers a 50% meal discount :0008

Hopefully Mickey D's will get their shit together and finally come out with the Miller Light Milkshake!:toast:

I thought they already had bigger burgers. Angus burgers?

They should stick with the basics, nobody wants that shit.

Almost everyday I go through the McDonalds drive through for a cup of coffee because I'm on the go. I have one sausage mcmuffin w/o egg on their $1 menu (only one). Costs slightly over $2, but I'm on the go so it's worth it.

Having said that, I may go there 1-2x a year for lunch, that's it. When I do go I enjoy it, but I would rather pack a healthy lunch. As far as I'm concerned McDonalds serves its purpose. If I have ever had a problem there they are quick to correct it.

I remember

I remember

When they opened in the Cleveland Ohio suburbs 1961 or so. Killed some small good burger joints. (Golden Point Burgers)
Burgers were actually decent, 15 cents, fries a dime,
shakes 20 cents.

Big Mac did not come out till mid 60's


Friend of mine's father passed on a couple franchises
for $8-$10k, a lot of coin back then.

I was working at one of their main competitors back then, Burger Chef...charbroiled and MUCH better than Mickey D....paid me 90 cents an hour.

After gubberment taxes I netted 60 cents. Good fringe benefits though, friends and family ate free, frequently.

Hopefully you made more than 90 cents....
After they closed up shop in my area, I was told the local chain was a tax write-off for a "Texas Oil Millionaire"

Why in the world did Burger King get rid of the "satis-fries"? I loved them! Now I will never go back to a BK again! :sadwave:

 

[fatdaddycool]

I won't eat there or burger king for that matter. The place sucks.

...Costs slightly over $2, but I'm on the go so it's worth it.

So you are saying a two dollar breakfast is spendy. C'mon kneifl live a little!

 

[The Boys]

Oh goody even more massive heart attacks. opcorn2
