Easy, higher ups don't get raises and promotions based on long term ability, but by short term profits and hype. One of the reasons a lot of corpos in the USA are failing massively is that the management literally burns them to the ground attempting to get the equivalent of WOW/COD/LOL-killer (to use video games as an example).
I remember Jim once said it's hard to tell someone being just British and someone that's retarded apart.
I actually sipped the Mcdonaldland shake on friday, it was pretty terrible. Tasted plastic-y/artificially sweet/reminded me of the Blue Prime flavor. Nephew liked it, but he also likes Prime, so
They can barely manage to cook their regular menu items during the non breakfast hours, I could only imagine the chaos of adding all day breakfast alongside said regular menu
Meanwhile, the Daily Double burger got almost no press yet is your basic Whopper Jr.-style hamburger with cheese, tomato, lettuce, and mayonnaise. It ended up being my dark horse favorite of ANYTHING McDonald's has put out in the last five years.
I literally had no idea that was even a thing on the Mcdonalds menu. Is it one of those app exclusive items?
The McDonald's page seems to indicate it is but the "order from the app" line is for every burger. Some old Reddit posts indicate it was a regional/optional item from the 2010s but never in my area.
Yeah the daily double slaps, but lately seems to be locked behind app orders (YMMV depending on area). If you can order one without app retardation, it's actually pretty good (for McDonalds).
This used to be my local McD's but now it's completely dead. It's such absolute ass nobody eats there any more.
Are you sure you're not mistaking the rural McDonalds being slow as sh!t (hence the long drive thru lines wrapping into parking lot), with it being an extremely popular location?
General answer seems to be franchises are run with a skeleton crew + newer grills less fast.
They definitely don't do this anymore judging by my nearest McDonald's which has been shit for years.
This is a recent thing. My local McD's had huge lines but they were actually moving. You'd spend ten minutes in line even when it was huge. And everything would be hot and fresh.
McDonald's is just mediocre food, but I've stopped going to the closest Whataburger because wait times are terrible even during daytime hours. The "fuck you for eating in" attitude got into them in COVID though I admit the last few times I've been to Whataburger (other locations) it just seems to be that location in particular, even though it's apparently one of the best-performing locations in the chain.
FUCKIN’ tell me about it lad. I ordered a mcmuffin this morning, around 9am. And it took over 10 minutes. The fucking coffee was sitting in the waiting area before it ready. ONE FUCKING MCMUFFIN AT 9am ON A MONDAY. Mcdonalds is fucked lad and I had places to be.Are you sure you're not mistaking the rural McDonalds being slow as sh!t (hence the long drive thru lines wrapping into parking lot), with it being an extremely popular location?
'cause at least in Oklahoma, long drive thru lines just mean the Mcdonalds is run terribly/will take forever to fill your order. I know I say it all the time in this thread, but McDonalds has gotten so slow lately/is arguably the slowest out of all the available fast food options. IDK if it's 'cause they vastly expanded the menu, the new grills suck, or what - but it's noticeable.
Edit:
I Googled "why is Mcdonalds so slow" and it brought up a bunch of recent Reddit threads of people asking the same thing:

Hm, maybe it really is the new grills?
