Cross-posted from āToo Bad, So Sad, Too Late - McDonaldās tells U.S. restaurants itās not a āpolitical brandā after Trump visitā by @[email protected] in [email protected]
Excerpt:
Though President Donald Trump visited a Pennsylvania McDonaldās location on Sunday, the fast-food giant is trying to stay neutral in the presidential race.
āAs weāve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation in this election cycle. While weāve not sought this, itās a testament to how much McDonaldās resonates with so many Americans. McDonaldās does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,ā the company said in an internal message viewed by CNBC and confirmed by a source familiar with the matter.
I havenāt eaten at a McDonalds since before covid, and I donāt really miss it.
It is more that the cost of operating a dining area isnāt worth it for a lot of fast food restaurants.
You have to dedicate staff time to maintaining the dining area. You also have have to maintain a public restroom, even if it is only for customers. At best, you only get the random biohazard of someone shitting themselves. It then slides to being the bathroom and living room to an unhoused population or a place where junkies go to do heroin.
