Burger chain McDonald’s
is temporarily closing its U.S. offices this week as it prepares to inform corporate employees about its layoffs as part of a broader company restructuring, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

In an internal email last week to U.S. employees and some international staff, McDonald’s asked them to work from home from Monday through Wednesday so it can deliver staffing decisions virtually, the report said. It is unclear how many employees will be laid off.

The US is diving head first into a depression. Japan dumped the dollar and the BRICS thing was just passed, so if McDonald's is closing offices and laying off employees then you know for sure that the country is FUCKED!

I would think McDonald's would do better in a depression as people don't have the money to spend at their more expensive competitors like shake shack, five guys, smashburger etc

Everything is getting expensive now. In such times, people return to the cheaper, tastier, better for you home cooking.

Hpefully. The sharecropper franchises send way toooo much money into the pockets of a few. Instead of contributing taxes they fund those head trip non profits to lecture the dummies who think they're being improved.

All of the philanthropy and charity is fake. The franchise food make yr mother into second rate trash who can't do anything but obey the TV. "Buy an open plan house so your family won't sit together at a meal you cooked". Fuck the family, you're important girly.

I can get a fresh and better tasting burger at Culver's for less than a double quarter pounder. Plus McDonald's rarely mails out coupons while other chains do - especially BK. I get a sheet of coupons from them once a month & use a few of them. They used to have coupons for 2 whopper Jr's & 2 small fries for $4 but it's gone up to $5.50 - which is still better than paying $8+ at McDs.

I have the BK app which has a special 2 whopper jr.s and 2 small fries for like $6. Whopper jrs are I think $3 on their own here which is crazy because they're fucking miniature now. I swear every time I get a burger it gets smaller every time

I’m surprised McDonalds is even still around. But I guess niggers buy a LOT of shitty food.

Went in to a McDonalds a couple of weeks ago. Was the first time in over 10 years - maybe longer. There were no employees and no customers. So I used the automated thing to order the shamrock shakes for me and the family (we all got smalls and the shakes really sucked). After I order, a nigger employee comes out of the back, dispenses the shakes, puts them on a tray, and leaves to go in the back again. Was a big risk taking those shakes, but I figured since I’d seen the nigger do the dispensing and nothing seemed amiss, I’d go with it.

Was astounded. No customers. No employees when I walked in. And those shakes really did suck. Wife said they were not how she remembered them from her childhood.

Never going back.

I've noticed that. Anything you try nowadays isn't the same. They've changed the ingredients lists now so everything is soyoil, hydrogenated dickcheeese, HFCS, etc etc. It's all the same poisonous trash now.

Sad but too true.

About a week ago, a woman at work had a jar of bubble gum on her desk. It was the little pink cylinders in yellow twist wrapper.

I opened it up and it was the same circumference as I remember, but it was star shaped. They had cut grooves down the sides of he cylinder so it felt like the same sized gum as always in the wrapper,it was actually smaller in volume that previous incarnations.

Shrinkflation as they say.

40 years ago McDonald's was actually not bad...it's fucking poison today...I eat it twice a year just to remind myself not to eat it....and I will not eat it on an empty stomach, I get a big mack, fillet of fish, small fries and an apple juice, no soda or shake, at least the apple juice helps with the digestion but I still get an upset stomach till next day.
