it was a franchise choice for that community. not to defend mcdonalds, but this happens, just not usually by genocidal groups.
“In regard to the news that McDonald’s in Israel was donating meals. We affirm that it was an individual decision on their part,” McDonald’s franchise in Saudi Arabia said in a statement. “Neither global McDonald’s nor us nor any other country had a role or relationship with that decision, neither directly nor indirectly.”
McDonald’s is a global chain but its franchises are often owned locally and operate autonomously.
McDonald’s Corp declined to comment but a source close to the company in the U.S. said the Israel franchise was an independent business that licensed McDonald’s brand. The source said it’s not unusual for franchisees to engage with their local communities when they are in need.
I recommend eating McDonald’s every day to support your beloved genocidal friends. The more you eat McDonald’s, the better for the IOF. They really need your support in eating as much McDonald’s as you can!
Trusting that the underpaid and overworked employee is going to deliver a “pretty good” burger from a fast food joint isn’t a gamble many people are willing to make anymore. And I don’t blame those employees at all.
I think there’s some wiggle room on “bottom tier,” but yeah, it’s down there somewhere. I dont think KFC is worse, not in my experience. but regardless of this, the meat is real in the UK (at least) and across Europe (at most).
Your individual tastes are subjective. I was arguing that the quality difference of a mcdonalds burger and a restaurant burger is not as big a chasm as OP made out. I’ve worked in plenty of restaurants, and many buy their burgers from the same suppliers that fast food places buy from. It’s the same meat in a different setting. In fact, I used to order food for a whitbread chain restaurant and a greene king chain restaurant, and a lot of it came from the same manufacturers. But people would swear by the quality of the more upmarket whitbread restaurant over the cheaper greene king one.

I agree that they are basically the same meat from the same cows, but in my opinion there is still a big quality difference due mainly to preparation. A McDonald’s beef patty is too thin, too homogeneous, and overcooked. The lack of flavour is the result of optimizing for cooking speed.
If you are willing to wait 5-15 minutes for your burger to be cooked you can achieve dramatically better results from the same cow.
Mcdonald’s food in Europe is at least edible though. It’s not necessarily high quality but it’s not as bad as American to seem to make out.
Not that I really eat there very often because to be honest there are better places, but the existence of better places does not necessarily mean they’re terrible. Just not as good as the better places.
They may very well be bottom tier but the whole ladder is higher up in Europe.
If every business has to keep to certain food standards, then McDonalds will still be bottom tier as they are in every other region. But the quality is still higher because every other business is too.
nobody ever went to mcdonald’s because it’s “good” but because it was cheap and fast
now it’s none of those 3 things. no reason to go there at all. that applies to most other fast food shit too.
McDonalds also directly supports the IDF

Honestly? I don’t care if it was just a local franchise. Corporate HQ can force local franchises to stop this if they want to stay open.
Plus, the food is shit. There are better places to eat.
fair enough
It also relies on forced prison labor.

Sounds like I need to buy a Big Mac.

Only reason to go there now is because they’ve tricked my kids into being addicted to it.
glad they’re raising you right
You know it, savages.
Only thing i noticed it’s bland. Saving on salt?
When big mac is made right, and the ingredients haven’t been sitting around all day, it’s pretty dang good. Even their basic hamburgers.

LOL
Have you ever had a cheeseburger at a real restaurant in your life? This is a serious question.
Depends where you are from. Food standards are higher in Europe, McDonalds can’t use cardboard for their burgers. Has to be actual beef.
McDonalds isn’t as hated in the UK or Europe as it is in America.
I’m from Europe, and this doesn’t match my experience. McDonald’s is bottom tier fast food. Probably KFC is worse, but that’s about it.
In general, to me it always seemed like Americans value fast food and chain restaurants way higher than Europeans.

Doesn’t help that the meat is real when the patty is 2mm thick. McD is so shit it’s ridiculous.

Where I’m from in NorthEast US
I don’t go to any of them willingly.
Minimum acceptable fast food
Then again, on road trips, I generally stick with whatever swill paid to be in rest areas, so I don’t have to get off the highway
So, basically, it’s never good.
