I've been boycotting them because their Egg McMuffins are $6.50 for a tiny little dried out nothingburger, lol. I've never heard McDonalds talk politics, but all the more reason to continue not eating there.

It turned out to be a potent weapon against the behemoths that ruling the world. Maybe people thought we were helpless, and they are proven wrong. Ultimately a grassroot movement could tear down any empire. This is just the beginning. Most people are just waiting for someone to do the first step.
So what? Imagine that McDonald's goes bankrupt, how will that affect this conflict? In absolutely no way or form. Hell, maybe some Palestinians will even lose their jobs....but none of you thought of this, did you?
SOME of their stuff is moderately priced. However, if you want fries with your order, then your first born child will be an indentured servant to the Golden Arches.
Normally eat out or quick takeaway at McDonald after work twice a week. Stopped now for 3 months. Weight reduce from 80 to 69kg. Am loving my new lifestyle.
Congrats. Even though I hate McDonald's, I am definitely cooking at home far more in 2024 as well. I definitely think it will help my health and finances. We should all be eating out as little as possible for 2024.
Boycotts do work. I used to think that what difference could one person do and what impact have. However when all individuals act together they can make a difference.

@@Larsino2000 You have no idea what you're talking about, McDonald's is a franchise, it definitely benefits from money going to its franchisees. Boycotting franchisees affects the franchise, this is basic economics.
@@lambertlum1087 Israel is not a real country, US veto power in the UN is the only reason it has any diplomatic relation with the external world. Most countries would rather avoid doing bussiness with israel due to moral grounds, but most of them are forced at gunpoing by the US. There's no evidence of a significant number of europeans living in Canaan in all of its history, let alone european jews. Israel is effectivly an european colony that uses an apartheid state to grant citizenship based soley on racial and religious merits that go as far as kicking black jews from invaded territory.
Do you understand what a franchise is? Independent owners gave out free food in both Israel and Palestine under brand after the events. It is not the brand itself that is the misinformation.
I guess the entire western world ignored this when it came to Ukraine. Every company that spoke in support of Ukraine and not Palestine are Hypocrites.
If McDonald's wants to be political, then customers have every right to do in kind. I love how they think it is fine to take political stances, but when consumers do it, there is always a talk about "how you are hurting local businesses." Or whatever bs they spout in an attempt to pretend to care about anything but their own profits.
That's the thing they weren't politically involved in fact they took the most neutral stance, doing nothing. It is misinformation based on a misunderstanding between franchise owners and franchisees. Independent Israeli and Palestinian business owners under differing and sometimes the same brands gave out free food after the events, most being politically neutral the businesses elected to do nothing and allow the owners to make their own choices on how to run their franchisees as it did not concern buying franchise elements. This boycott is not hurting the Israeli franchisees just local ones to you who have nothing to do with the Israeli franchisees.

@@godogs89Remind me, How many children were killed in gaza, by these israeli militants? and you’re implying it’s okay to feed them so they can kill more civilians.
After 17 years of being a client, I stopped going to McDonalds, and so did my wife and 2 daughters. I also asked my two boys to stay away from MacDonalds and we are not planning to return. I wouldn't be surprised if McDonalds announces bankruptcy by the end of Q4 or Q1.
I think the clear cut issue with McDonald’s is it’s value is essentially 0 now. Their prices are at a point where I can actually have a meal at a better establishment for the same price.
I know right? I didn't had any meal there for 35+ years. When a girlfriend pushed me into one (there wasn't anything else tbh, I found that I paid about 30% less, fr 70% less quantitiy and the taste...) ok, I won't say it was horrible, as I can't remember, but for the same reason I'll say it wasn't good. Basically, I paid what I could had paid to get full somewhere else, I was left hungry, and the taste was below average at its best. Probably just tasteless.
You can see the inflation of just the Big Mac 0.45 cents in the 60’s which would be $3.85 cents instead it’s over $5. Which doesn’t sound alot until it ads up. So McDonald’s isn’t even cheap no more.
This is so true. All boycott ideals aside, McDonald’s just isn’t worth going to anymore. It used to be the easy, cheap and cheerful option. Get a whole Big Mac meal for around £4 which is great value. Now, a Big Mac meal costs you almost £8. What’s the point now? I could get a decent amount of good quality food for £8 at my local establishments. On top of that, it’s no longer fast food, the queues there now are ridiculous
@@rally5809Locally, their park spots in the drive thru have become a regular use case for them. Nobody behind you and you order a cheeseburger? "Please park in spot one and wait for your food."

@@iamthelaw6920$ for salad? Where do you live? Sahara desert? Even on food stamps you can make your own salad for less than 3 bucks. How? Go to a market, buy ingredents, now make it.
The one thing McDonalds had going for them was the low prices. Now, the $1 McChicken's are $4.00 and 1/4 pounder meals are $12.89. On top of that everything is smaller. Their customers are stupid but they will eventually figure out that it is no longer a cheap place to eat.
It's no longer fast food either, and you would think as long as it takes to get your order it would be right the first time. But if you hire based on skin color and gender, you get what you get. The quality of the employees will ultimately bring in a quality revenue in business. Enjoy the crash McDonald's. You earned it. 😂

@@media.cartoon The US government won't any time soon. We gave, and Israel stole, way too many trade and military secrets from the US, not to mention VIP secrets ala Epstein and that like. We helped build them and as a result created a monster that chews our own fat. Now if the US dropped Israel, Israel would immediately turn to Russia & China, and give them everything they took from the US. They control us because our politicians and unelected official are too corrupt/too dumb to fight them, and most of our government is heavily infiltrated with Israeli/Mossad assets, anyone who does push back against Israeli influence/control would immediately be removed. Many American's have become pretty aware the benefit the US now gets from all it's massive support/taxes/military AID for Israel is effectively nothing, but the government will continue to support it because it feels it has to or else face real national security risks, the second our greatest ally turns to America's enemies (or even allies) and sells out information. Hence why every US politician always falls back to supporting Israel regardless of party or politics the so-called "far-right" ones like Trump, Gaetz, Greene, or the "far-left" ones like AOC, or the more moderate ones. Israel already has and does sell US intel/military secrets to the Chinese, it's fairly well known, but they seems to do it in piecemeal 'on occasion'. My kooky theory is it's probably done as a warning whenever someone in our military or government does try to push or cut back on Israel's greed, to get them back in line. It would be amazing in the longterm if we cut ties with Israel, but those guys backstabbing the US would hurt really, REALLY bad in the shortterm.
Even if there were mcdonalds in palestine, the money goes back to coroprate where the money goes to Israel. Bit of franchising knowledge for you there.
in my country (Egypt) a lot of brands have been boycotted, even if they have the slightest connection with America now a lot of new local brands have came out, I'm glad they are doing their best, so nobody has to feel the guilt of blood on their hands.
Well done Egypt. Also in the UK the Starbucks is looking more and more empty each week. People are also switching bank accounts, don't want to support banks or companies that invest in Israel.
Yeah but I sure remember during Covid listening to your country whining and complaining about how the lack of tourism was killing you. Maybe Americans need to boycott your country all together.
Reminds me of a sort of golden rule "If you don't like the price, or the method; there's always somewhere else.." But yeah, if the brands are getting out of control/too politically focused, find a new one or start a new one.
I liked fast food in general when I was a kid/teenager, because it tasted good and it was cheap. Now that I am in my twenties, I know the food is not healthy, it doesn't really taste better than normal food and, the easiest thing to notice, it's no longer cheaper, but actually more expensive than local bakery's products
Fast food has always survived on being ... fast. That is their biggest advantage, convenience. Also, there is a lot of sugar and other things in it that makes you happy and satisfied even if you don't taste it. That being said, I truly believe it isn't as bad as some people think. It's more about portion size. Soda is way worse.
Fast food was cheap and decent back then, and I swear it's not just me growing up giving me the impression the items got smaller. I'm guessing they're supplanting all the additives regulators are forcing them to remove from the bun and burger with more and sweeter soda, so they can still leverage a sugar addiction to sell their menus. Nowadays I can't call any of the economical options "edible", while the "good stuff" is occasionally priced higher than a restaurant and order processing times are highly variable because of the high turnover of unskilled personnel, so you can't even justify the choice of establishment for a quick meal.
I can't even get that self righteous about how long I've had no McDonalds, because honestly, once you haven't had any for a bit, I think that aftertaste/ McD food smell is gross. It actually puts me off eating anything when I smell it around me.
I get the feeling. I use to work there, it’s disgusting that I don’t even eat there after quitting that shit job cold turkey. People aren’t even friendly some but people that work there can be jerks.
Exactly. I had a Big Mac after not eating McD for like 2 months. I couldn’t even finish it because I felt so disgusted by it. Big Macs used to be my favorite menu item too
to be honest we found out we've been supporting western products and forgot about our own, which majority of them isn't too bad compared to brands like mcdonalds' or starbucks
The UK is western btw. Europe is part of the western world. East of Europe has their own products yes. But the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain. The western world. Western world doesn’t mean “West of whatever country east of America you’re in” South America is barely considered the western world (mostly by racists though).

Such a dumb comment and quote. He said that quote in 2007 when they went to war with Iraq, at the time they got a whopping 3% of their oil from Iraq. Not very much. So obviously the goal of that war wasn’t oil- the US gets oil from Saudi Arabia, Canada, and itself. Very bizarre he would say that, less bizarre someone named “progressive truth seekers” would take a quote out of context and use it where it doesn’t apply.
Massive Oil and Gas Reserves Discovered Under Gaza - Israel Grants Development Licenses Nov. 4, 2023 Since the war started, Israel has already awarded a dozen oil and gas exploration licenses in Palestine to six different Big Oil companies, including BP. We should know by now that when both political parties in the U.S. show bipartisan support, something deeply sinister is happening behind the scenes. We should also know that when a superpower starts using human rights as a justification for their actions, there's always an ulterior motive. Remember Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction"? Four years ago, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) published a report on "the unrealized potential of Palestinian oil and gas reserves." The report estimates these reserves could generate "hundreds of billions of dollars" for whoever develops them. It also criticizes Israel for preventing Palestinians from developing those resources as a way to alleviate their massive poverty.
THE GREAT GAZA OIL AND GAS THEFT Oct. 12, 2023 In June 2023, Israel quietly approved the development of Gaza Marine, after leaving field undeveloped for over 20 years. Gaza Marine is estimated to hold over 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, much more than is needed to power the Palestinian territories and some of which could potentially be exported. Many geologists and natural resources economists have separately confirmed that the Occupied Palestinian Territory lies above vast reservoirs of oil and gas wealth. However, Palestinians face a major stumbling block that prevents them from exploiting and benefiting from such assets, namely, the occupation by Israel According to scientific studies on undiscovered oil and natural gas resources in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, layers of sediment are believed to be in depths ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 m and at temperatures of between 60 and 150 degrees Celsius, and this is where oil can be found in large amounts, while natural gas exists at lower depths.

Do you understand what a franchise is? Independent owners gave out free food in both Israel and Palestine under brand after the events. It is not the brand itself that is the misinformation.

The CEO is only upset because his paycheck is taking a hit. He could care less about the brand or employees.
If McDonald's wants to be political, then customers have every right to do in kind. I love how they think it is fine to take political stances, but when consumers do it, there is always a talk about "how you are hurting local businesses." Or whatever bs they spout in an attempt to pretend to care about anything but their own profits.
That's the thing they weren't politically involved in fact they took the most neutral stance, doing nothing. It is misinformation based on a misunderstanding between franchise owners and franchisees. Independent Israeli and Palestinian business owners under differing and sometimes the same brands gave out free food after the events, most being politically neutral the businesses elected to do nothing and allow the owners to make their own choices on how to run their franchisees as it did not concern buying franchise elements. This boycott is not hurting the Israeli franchisees just local ones to you who have nothing to do with the Israeli franchisees.

After 17 years of being a client, I stopped going to McDonalds, and so did my wife and 2 daughters. I also asked my two boys to stay away from MacDonalds and we are not planning to return. I wouldn't be surprised if McDonalds announces bankruptcy by the end of Q4 or Q1.
Brilliant, I've stopped going too
Good
After I heard the supported Israel. I guess I have to start eating there more
@@owomushi_vr so you are supporting terro***ists?
Bankruptcy? You're delusional.
I think the clear cut issue with McDonald’s is it’s value is essentially 0 now. Their prices are at a point where I can actually have a meal at a better establishment for the same price.
And their burgers are not real meat. They probably use the bill gates lab grown meat
I know right? I didn't had any meal there for 35+ years. When a girlfriend pushed me into one (there wasn't anything else tbh, I found that I paid about 30% less, fr 70% less quantitiy and the taste...) ok, I won't say it was horrible, as I can't remember, but for the same reason I'll say it wasn't good. Basically, I paid what I could had paid to get full somewhere else, I was left hungry, and the taste was below average at its best. Probably just tasteless.
You can see the inflation of just the Big Mac 0.45 cents in the 60’s which would be $3.85 cents instead it’s over $5. Which doesn’t sound alot until it ads up. So McDonald’s isn’t even cheap no more.
This is so true. All boycott ideals aside, McDonald’s just isn’t worth going to anymore. It used to be the easy, cheap and cheerful option. Get a whole Big Mac meal for around £4 which is great value. Now, a Big Mac meal costs you almost £8. What’s the point now? I could get a decent amount of good quality food for £8 at my local establishments. On top of that, it’s no longer fast food, the queues there now are ridiculous

We helped build them and as a result created a monster that chews our own fat. Now if the US dropped Israel, Israel would immediately turn to Russia & China, and give them everything they took from the US. They control us because our politicians and unelected official are too corrupt/too dumb to fight them, and most of our government is heavily infiltrated with Israeli/Mossad assets, anyone who does push back against Israeli influence/control would immediately be removed.
Many American's have become pretty aware the benefit the US now gets from all it's massive support/taxes/military AID for Israel is effectively nothing, but the government will continue to support it because it feels it has to or else face real national security risks, the second our greatest ally turns to America's enemies (or even allies) and sells out information. Hence why every US politician always falls back to supporting Israel regardless of party or politics the so-called "far-right" ones like Trump, Gaetz, Greene, or the "far-left" ones like AOC, or the more moderate ones.
Israel already has and does sell US intel/military secrets to the Chinese, it's fairly well known, but they seems to do it in piecemeal 'on occasion'. My kooky theory is it's probably done as a warning whenever someone in our military or government does try to push or cut back on Israel's greed, to get them back in line. It would be amazing in the longterm if we cut ties with Israel, but those guys backstabbing the US would hurt really, REALLY bad in the shortterm.

I liked fast food in general when I was a kid/teenager, because it tasted good and it was cheap.
Now that I am in my twenties, I know the food is not healthy, it doesn't really taste better than normal food and, the easiest thing to notice, it's no longer cheaper, but actually more expensive than local bakery's products
Parasite business practices, come in with the cheapness and remove all the local competition than raise prices.
Ur retarded it sounds friend
Fast food has always survived on being ... fast. That is their biggest advantage, convenience. Also, there is a lot of sugar and other things in it that makes you happy and satisfied even if you don't taste it.
That being said, I truly believe it isn't as bad as some people think. It's more about portion size. Soda is way worse.
My Bakery's chilled sandwiches are really great. They're unbelievably cheap and taste amazing. More people need to buy from local bakeries.
Fast food was cheap and decent back then, and I swear it's not just me growing up giving me the impression the items got smaller. I'm guessing they're supplanting all the additives regulators are forcing them to remove from the bun and burger with more and sweeter soda, so they can still leverage a sugar addiction to sell their menus.
Nowadays I can't call any of the economical options "edible", while the "good stuff" is occasionally priced higher than a restaurant and order processing times are highly variable because of the high turnover of unskilled personnel, so you can't even justify the choice of establishment for a quick meal.

I get the feeling. I use to work there, it’s disgusting that I don’t even eat there after quitting that shit job cold turkey. People aren’t even friendly some but people that work there can be jerks.
Exactly. I had a Big Mac after not eating McD for like 2 months. I couldn’t even finish it because I felt so disgusted by it. Big Macs used to be my favorite menu item too
the smell is overcooked onion powder, they put so much of that in EVERYTHING
Its good not just for conflict, its good for health too.
Yeah and more people need to realise that it’s basically putting shit in your mouth !! 😂
BOYCOTT MCDONALD'S FOREVER...
to be honest we found out we've been supporting western products and forgot about our own, which majority of them isn't too bad compared to brands like mcdonalds' or starbucks
The UK is western btw. Europe is part of the western world. East of Europe has their own products yes. But the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Spain.
The western world. Western world doesn’t mean “West of whatever country east of America you’re in” South America is barely considered the western world (mostly by racists though).
@@overtherenowaitthere Exactly. The western world is essentially anything west from Germany. Across the northern hemisphere/central generally. Australia and new zealand is also part of the western world and its society has heavy foundations from the English empire albeit the fact they have their own native people.
@@overtherenowaitthere Yep and no one was saying otherwise? seems like you're just trying to cause a stir. bit weird of ya
@@porse7yeah but the comment the person made made it sound like he was just talking about American products since he mention McDonald’s and Starbucks , so I get your point but also the other dude because we don’t even know where the commenter is from .
@@porse7 how's that a stir in your eyes? Life must be fun for you
When they say most of the restaurants are operated by local owners it's doesn't mean that the main company is not getting profits from it 😂.
The boycotts worked very well if it's not why would they mention it.
The point is that the boycotts are misguided. These boycotts are punishing corporate McDonalds and local (Middle Eastern) franchisees for something that franchisees in Israel decided to do. It makes no sense.
Exact,y. It’s not the customers responsibility to ensure an income for the franchise owner.
@@Stormie33of course it makes sense - you just need some quality time to think it through.
@@Stormie33 Franchisees need to abide by contract settled by the principal. Too bad McD is very late in responding this. At the first moment, they should've banned franchisees (or not) to supporting any army.
@@Stormie33the McDonald's franchise still profits from even the local Middle Eastern stores, in fact that's where most of their profits come from. not stores they run directly.

But most importantly I think everyone including myself finds the pricing of their food ridiculous 😂😅

@@SirAtrociousthere are far tastier places than those dry ass mc burgers 🤷♀️
@@SirAtrocious What?? you missed the point completely
What? McDonald’s is probably one of the cheapest fats food services where you can buy so called “food”
@@OdiOneKenobi
Lol bro
Example here from germany, where macdonalds quality is mostly also quite good:
Big mac or special burger menus 9,50-12,50
Meanwhile at my local modern new restaurant in the centre of my town which is super cozy and top service; 8-12 euros.
Fresher, better portion and phenomenal burgers.
Then we have the most fancy place in town; cheesburger menu (big juicy cheeseburger with lots of locally bought salad and huge portion of amazing fries, 2 sauces and a big glass of drink; I paid 15 euros. And stayed for some drinks as the place is super beautiful
Go figure lol
This itches a scratch I didn't know I had. Let's keep it going, I want to see smaller business flourish from this.
Smaller business serve the same kind of food and if McDonald's ends that same business will eventually replace it and become powerful so what are you morons even trying to get at😂
I know people have explored much better and cost effective alternates produced locally which were not considered worth trying, but this boycott has helped them serve customers and gain confidence 👌

It’s funny no one has boycotted anything Saudi Arabian owned or Saudi Arabian invested in despite Saudi Arabia committing more war crimes against Christian’s in the millions compared to only 20,000 Muslims in Gaza.
Shows what all the Muslims and people around the world think about Christians when they won’t say anything about the genocide of 15 million Christians in Yemen alone Muslims since 2015…..
they don’t care about 15 million innocent Christian lives only 20,000 Muslim lives….
There’s no oil in Israel you dumbass 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
TELL THAT TO YOUR SAUDI OIL BROTHERS WHO ARE COMMITTING GENOCIDE AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN YEMEN
Such a dumb comment and quote. He said that quote in 2007 when they went to war with Iraq, at the time they got a whopping 3% of their oil from Iraq. Not very much. So obviously the goal of that war wasn’t oil- the US gets oil from Saudi Arabia, Canada, and itself. Very bizarre he would say that, less bizarre someone named “progressive truth seekers” would take a quote out of context and use it where it doesn’t apply.
Massive Oil and Gas Reserves Discovered Under Gaza - Israel Grants Development Licenses
Nov. 4, 2023
Since the war started, Israel has already awarded a dozen oil and gas exploration licenses in Palestine to six different Big Oil companies, including BP.
We should know by now that when both political parties in the U.S. show bipartisan support, something deeply sinister is happening behind the scenes. We should also know that when a superpower starts using human rights as a justification for their actions, there's always an ulterior motive. Remember Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction"?
Four years ago, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) published a report on "the unrealized potential of Palestinian oil and gas reserves." The report estimates these reserves could generate "hundreds of billions of dollars" for whoever develops them. It also criticizes Israel for preventing Palestinians from developing those resources as a way to alleviate their massive poverty.
THE GREAT GAZA OIL AND GAS THEFT
Oct. 12, 2023
In June 2023, Israel quietly approved the development of Gaza Marine, after leaving field undeveloped for over 20 years.
Gaza Marine is estimated to hold over 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, much more than is needed to power the Palestinian territories and some of which could potentially be exported.
Many geologists and natural resources economists have separately confirmed that the Occupied Palestinian Territory lies above vast reservoirs of oil and gas wealth. However, Palestinians face a major stumbling block that prevents them from exploiting and benefiting from such assets, namely, the occupation by Israel
According to scientific studies on undiscovered oil and natural gas resources in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, layers of sediment are believed to be in depths ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 m and at temperatures of between 60 and 150 degrees Celsius, and this is where oil can be found in large amounts, while natural gas exists at lower depths.

Crazy thing is, BDS felt McDonald's was too big too Boycott!!
McDonald's maybe a franchise but they can still leave Israel like they left Russia. They would have taken a bigger hit leaving such a massive market like Russia
Maybe they should start charging the IDF now to boost profits?
Never ever am I gonna buy something at McDonlds.
What about if someone is selling something really cheap and they tell u to meet them in a mcdonald's car park to do the transaction?
If they take sides in a political issue outside of their business, then they shouldn't be surprised when that happens.
They didn't really though did they? Terrorists and extremists are using the war in the region as an excuse to boycott Western organisations.
So certain franchises decided to do something, now the whole world suffers because some franchisees decided to do their own things?
Okay, well then every Muslim is condemn-able for every honor killing occurring across the world. That should even the playing field for your logic.

@@Mad_Catter_ "the whole world suffers", honey your American self is being very dramatic. It's McDonald's, eating that is more suffering than a boycott of the place.
Except all McDonald's are connected, if they were independently operated by Local owners then Russia would still have McDonald's, but no McDonald's decided to Sanction Russia due to the war in Ukraine which means all McDonald's are connected you can't sanction a country and then claim independent branch after getting boycott.

A just cause 😂
The fight is real😂
Where can I donate?
The problem is they only ever bought that one for all the stores to use.
Your good health and low blood sugar salutes you
Carry on boycotting folks
No more mcdonalds for me
In my country people have been boycotting IN MASS companies like Pepsi, Coka, McDonalds, Starbucks etc.
So much so that we've discovered LOCAL products that (and I SWEAR) taste soooo much better in every way, CHEAPER, and healthier! .... The big companies with their mass produced products are just not looking out for the health of the consumer, they want their money, period
My McDonald's was extremely busy today. As are most in my part of the world
@@justworkingfortheweekend8504 Yes nobody is saying that they ran out of business, what I said is that they are DEFINITLY impacted by the boycott, their CEO himself is warning stock holders about the dip, and local business (where I'm from and many other countries that are majorly boycotting) is booming because of it
@justworkingfortheweekend8504 right....? People where u live love to eat shit food? Have they ever tried anything half decent? It's a bag full of shit is McDonald's yall feed that shit to your kids 😂
I've been "boycotting" McDonald's because its prices have been 'asinine!'
Starbucks too.
$30 for a $3 bag of potatoes? 🥔 No thanks! :-) that's basically what these two 'companies' are doing.

Never used Mc Donald's , now 81 as still managing pull ups and presses.
Far too expensive anyway.
What restaurants serve inexpensive, reasonably-priced food?
You used to get 1 basic burger for 1€ have not been there for a decade but is it expensive now?
McDonalds is the cheapest there is for the mount of food
Wouldn;t go there even if it was free!
In Western Countries, MacDonald's is considered as cheap restaurant, but it's luxury for some countries.
Many of the restaurants are operated by the owners who rent the franchises off Mac Donald. But Mac Donald’s share holder and the group who run Mac Donalds make billion off the franchise model
Profits of free meal?

It's stupid when corporations get upset that they're not taking your money. The entitlement of these billion dollar corporations are mind-numbing and should be boycotted for their arrogance alone.
