Wouldnt bother me if every food place with a drivethru window went out of business.

The only thing i will eat there is the breakfast and only when it is super convenient.
just recently i almost went to a McDonalds for lunch but i noticed a grocery store across from it. We only had thirty minutes. So we bought two nice rolls some jambon ham from spain some nice cheese and some fruit juice. Cost...about the same. Time about the same. Feeling after? Way better |

The wife and I drive past McDees and go to A&W just up the road. Much better burgers and fries...the root beer is great...and they get our order right every time.

Here in Australia there profits are going down every year. They have changed there menu to more quality but they still are not making money like the 90's peoples taste have changed for better healthier foods and unless they spend mega bucks( which they can do ) everyone will still see them as unhealthy and uncool. They will survive in poor areas but they have already closing down in wealthy places.

Like Joshua G said. They need to go back to just making good food, at a cheap price, and fast. Not crazy big menus. Nothing fancy or expensive. Even their average burgers got pricey. They need to rework that to what made them huge. Value and speed. Leave the gourmet and healthy options to other companies. Or start up another subsidiary for that option.

McD's did well for me when I was traveling in Europe with my bf and we didn't have much money/time to spend. It saved us from starving in Oslo too :) But not in my hometown |
Big changes coming to Mickey D's.
Interesting their change in corporate / market structure from regions to market shares. Maybe that is a model for porn? 5 Ways McDonald's Will Change -- Soon |

Results? I feel like puking right NOW and am terrified of what will eventually ooze out my asshole after winding its way through my poor intestines and colon. JESUS why did I do such a thing??? McGriddles were tasty (I'm a sucker for anything maple-flavored). Pancakes were....maple-y (good) but......meh. Hash browns were good tho greasy and the "coffee"? Well, it wasn't Starbucks (or even Dunkin' Donuts) but drinkable. OK well my digestive system says THANKS GFY. I am guessing McDonald's will be out of business before I try that again. LOL |
In 1974 the cost of a single burger was 30 cents, that's 1.44 in today's money but you can still buy a burger for a dollar. They've just gotten away from being a place where Mom can take a night off from the kitchen. They should return to Burgers, Fries and Drinks.
Pizza places are in danger of trying to offer too much as well IMHO. Domino's dropped "pizza" from their name for the love of god. |

Just read that article Kawaii posted. New 'Homey' Menu Items include $4.99 burgers. In most places a pound of beef is less than $4 for consumers. Mcdonalds pays 30 cents for a pound of beef A POUND. I goto McDonalds maybe once or twice a year, the last time I was there the meat patty was so thin. The burger was all bun and I was like WTF. Then you goto local places, or places like Chipotle or Garbonzos and it's all totally healthy great food fresh chicken etc a half the price of McDonalds. It's all about the money @ McD's now they've fucked the consumer for too long I hope they rot in hell.

For $4 I can make 4 burgers/next to no fat/from Oz or Canada or JP/ grilled toppings etc...at home. IN a very short time. I think one of their main strategies may prove to be home delivery though. Pink slime delivered to your door. Beats gettin outta the bark-o-lounger, I guess. They are closing 100 stores in Japan. Not surprised the country is not on their list of developing markets. Shake Shack is coming though. They should rock this place if they deliver their burgers NYC style. |

Few years ago i eat for the last time in a McDonald's and i have no regret. The only healthy product they sell is water.

Like I said, in 1974 a plain burger cost 30 cents, that's $1.44 in today's money, but you can buy a plain burger from their value menu today for only $1. So if you're saying that they have gotten away from low prices, welp... no. You can eat there for less money today than you could in 1974. Might be hard to swallow, but math is heartless.

McDonalds will still be around. While sales and profits are down, they aren't in danger of going away overnight. Even their lower profits are still better than most company's best profits.
They just need a new CEO with some fresh ideas that can scale down their menu and something that needs to be wo0rked on and has been touched on in this thread already: they need to fix their customer service. The occasional wrong order will happen, but grumpy employees, slooooooooooooow service and driving to 3 different windows is stupid. If I have to order at one window, pay at an other and pick up my food at a third, it makes it slower, not faster. |

The big thing here is that America is not the only place that has McD. They will survive but not as the mega place we know.

In my opinion...Fast Food is pricing itself out of existence.
McDonald's used to be the place I went to for a 40 cent hamburger, 25 cent fries, and a 25 cent drink. Now you're lucky to get a combo meal there for less than $6 Fast food was always supposed to be cheap. Hell, just a few years back I would go to Arbys and get 5 roast beef sandwiches for $5. I went there 2 days ago and ordered food for 3 people. The cost? $31 !!!! They have raised prices on everything so fast and so high that it's taking them out of their market. Especially sodas. When fast food joints are charging $3 for 10 cents worth of soda...people on a budget just can't afford that. And face it...most "rich" people don't eat fast food. A lot of McDonald's customer base were people who don't have a lot of extra money and would grab lunch there on lunch break because it was fast and cheap. No, I don't think it's the "nutritional value" that is hurting them. Most guys who work "real" jobs don't give a fuck about that. The majority of guys working real jobs love to eat wings and drink beer. McDonalds 1/4 pounder with cheese is "health food" to them. lol No...I think it's the price. Why pay that much for crappy fast food when you can basically go to a half decent diner like Dennys or a local family owned restaurant and get much better quality food for the same price. |

The key to cheap at McDonalds is stick to the $1 menu. You can get 3 McDoubles and have a bigger burger than their pricey burgers like the quarter pounder etc. $5 on the value menu and you are stuffed. But if you go for any of their combos, you are paying way more now.

MCDs isn't going anywhere in our lifetime. Sure they might not be having record profits but that is why they make changes to try new ways to make money. |

Big Mac, 2 double cheeseburgers and a large fries is my usual maccy d order (£7/$11), used to have that once a week (went through a phase of more than that but my asshole wasn't very grateful) then once a month, then every couple of months until last time I went it took 10 minutes for them to bring my order out while I sat there bored shitless in the car park, so I pulled links and blacklisted them. A maccy's once in a while ain'y gonna hurt anybody though :2 cents:

Also somewhat ironically I think the recession has hurt them in the sense that there seems to be many many more other options whether large operation or small at the same price point and better food and/or service. |

They also owned Boston Market and divested in them in 2006 as well so they could focus only on the McDonalds brand. |

Next to guns and religion McDonalds is the life blood of the south. All other fast food chains jerk off to them.

You do realize that McDonald's is worldwide. And in that great "Southern" city of New York, it's so popular that they even deliver. :pimp |

Well they just came out with part of their turnaround plan here in canada. They're adding KALE to the menu. Who is running that place? The ceo of burger king or someone else that wants to see them fail?
