>>72602230McDolans is franchised and many franchises are just sold to any random idiot who wants to pocket as much cash as possible so they cut quality wherever possible in burgerland. This isn't a problem in most countries because most countries do not have rentseeking parasites by the fistful seeking to dick over 'their countrymen'. In Norway, most people are norwegian. In Japan, most people are Japanese. In the US, 69yo boomer bob wants to retire running his crapshow fulltime and hires ranjesh the MBA to run his franchises who proceeds to make them even worse (if that's possible) to get bob more cash, much to boomer bob's delight. When your economic model is "I don't care what happens to the US in 2050 because I will be dead", you will not have a functional mcdonald's franchise structure.
On a side note KFC is really fucking expensive all of a sudden which is weird considering how low quality their food is. Similar low quality places like Domino's at least have the self-awareness to let you get a carryout pizza for 8 bucks.
>>72605609>kid sized>a small burger like the QP with cheese is 520 calories and a small fries is 200 calories, assuming you only get water to drink that's 1/3 of your daily calories in one mealThe real problem is that their food isn't filling. Only go to restaurants with food that actually fills you, otherwise you're wasting time, money and calories.
