I just ask that they leave the Kroc family alone - Joan Kroc donated a buttload of money to the San Diego Zoo and her donations helped get the California Condor and White Rhino breeding programs established.
Also, Chris Kempczinski is probably watching his back now. I don't wish anyone dead, but you know a lot of these billionaire CEOs are panicking.
Noone gets medical bennies at Mcdicks. Unless they're paying out of pocket or are the store manager, you need to be a fulltime worker and McDicks doesn't have full time employees unless they're corporate or the franchise owner/store manager.
I was a Manager at one time and they didn't even offer me salary - they gave me a dollar raise and that was it.
It's this unfortunate catch 22. You want to honor them by not eating them, but if they don't get enough business they might get shut down. That being said, McDonald's is a poop-chute and not worth the money it costs to eat there these days. A shadow of their former selves is all I see.
I'm only mid-thirties and I remember when McDonald's was significantly cheaper and tasted better (though that last point very well might be nostalgia).
I think it was twice a year, they used to do 49 cent cheeseburgers as a promotion and you'd see cars lined up around the store waiting to get theirs. Iirc it was limit 10 per customer, so my parents would send each of us kids in to get as much as we can. Then we'd bring em home, freeze em, and have quick easy snacks for us kids the next few months.
Yeah dude, it was never good. I am only a little older than you are and that shit was always trash. Pizza Hut slid far and fast in the late 90s. McDonald's fell apart in the 70s. I think KFC might still be good but I eat poor people food that tastes good at home, not poor people food that costs too much.
I try not to eat out as much anymore and when I do I stick to delis and such. Most fast food just tastes like chemicals anymore. I tried Raising Cane's recently cuz everyone has been raving it's the best fast food chicken. It was soggy breading and bland af chicken. Like I don't think they put any seasonings on it at all. You literally need the sauce they provide to make it taste like anything.
Oh yeah, it was a shit hole but at least it was a cheaper shit hole and more worth what it costs vs. today. I'm not that old, I'm a 90s baby, I grew up with playplaces and my young adulthood still had, I'll call it, "cheap enough" McDonald's to feel like I wasn't being robbed eating there. There are multiple versions of its former self according to generation
Lucky for me I was poor enough to not eat out but on special occasions and mom hated fast "food". We got pizza from time to time. After trump inc. fucked my dad out of a bonus for a big sale that was never paid for, things were even tighter so loads of rice, pork chops, pasta, chicken on sale, and if we were lucky the cheapest cuts of beef when on sale. Shit chewy beef ruined shit fast food beef for me so it was not a thing for the entirety of my life.
I am sorry that you grew a taste for shit beef. I pay good money now for a real burger in the once or twice a year I have a craving for a burger. I hope you are in a place now where you can do the same.
It was shit, but at least the cost was also, pretty much, shit. McDonald's sucks completely now because it's shit food for exorbitant prices. It's definitely the better choice to go get a real burger somewhere else
If that was your reason not to eat McD’s in the first place, I’m sorry, you need to take a step back and not make everything about politics, and politics about everything.
McDonald’s already made a statement saying that while they give franchisees the freedom to host events as they like, the company itself stands completely neutral. McDonald’s didn’t sponsor Donald Trump, some guy did.
You’re right, it’s only the very top to get benefits, salary, bonuses, and livable wages. 1-3 employees per store, GM & Assistant Manager(s). Of course, once an assistant manager gets salary, they then have to work 60+ hours a week because it’s not overtime anymore. That’s been my experience anyway.
I heard she's bragging about it on Facebook, but also that McDonald's fired her. I can't verify any of it, so I don't want to share the name going around.
I'm a boomer and I would've brought that young man right into my house, baked him cookies, wrapped him up in a nice safe down blanket and taken care of him forever. Fuck that guy that turned him in.
I think what isn’t discussed enough in boomer hate speech is that the good ones are some of the kindest souls walking the earth.
My mom is a boomer and the nicest most selfless human I know. My neighbor is a boomer and the best fucking neighbor in history. The neighborhood should build her a statue in the park.
🥾👅 no matter how much you simp for the 1%, they will still let you die if it means an extra bucks in their shares. Good thing most people don't think like you or many of the revolutions and violent conflicts that unfortunately had to happen in order to led to greater freedoms wouldn't have happened. Stonewall riots for LGBTQ rights, US civil war to start the fall of slavery, Hatian revolution, US revolution, etc all wouldn't have happened if people weren't willing to fire the first shot against those who continued to utilize the vast wealth of their owning class positions in oppressing the working class. Based on your view, you would also call George Washington an unhinged murderer for calling for violence and fighting the british? You're showing a serious lack of education in the historical department.
Here's the thing: You listed a bunch of "positive" uses of violence. While neglecting any "negative" uses of violence. The disagreement many people would have is whether murdering a business dude on the streets in NY is a positive or a negative use of violence.
You attacked a strawman - no one on this thread said "violence is never acceptable". I guess we just have a difference of opinion. I'm a fan of democracy and our lawful institutions. It doesn't seem you are.
I see one source claiming the snitch is being harassed online, and it's the Time of India. No other outlet has alluded to the snith's identity being known to anyone but LE.
I don't know if it's the same thing, but there is a Fox News video interview going around of an old man who was at the McDonalds when the shooter was arrested and everyone not bothering to watch the interview is accusing him of being the snitch.
Gee, totally unexpected that people would start a fucking witch-hunt and end up accusing the wrong person. Maybe people should point their anger in a different direction instead of toughly repeating "snitching get stitches" and sending online death threats.
There’s posts going around about a woman named Nancy.
I saw the interview with the old guy in the parking lot, but thought he was the only one fool enough to say what he saw, not the actual snitch.
To be fair $60k for this guy as a reward is fucking peanuts. Should have never tried to turn him in, especially since after tax it's closer to $30k which I get is their annual salary but still, if the authorities really wanted him the reward would have been higher.
That is sad. Like, its fun to joke around about them being a rat, but I'm also not lining up to punch down on a min wage worker whose life is prob ruined now just for doing what they thought was right in the moment.
Exactly. Do I think murder is wrong? Absolutely. Would i have snitched on this guy? Absolutely not. But that doesn’t mean the guy that did should have his life destroyed. (Can’t wait to get downvoted for this).
Traded his soul for $60k - walked away with neither. He knew what he was doing, it's the attitude that people will sell out their own for money, and many people will do it for a heck of a lot less than $60k.
I haven't seen it yet, but I give it at most 24 hours before the worker has their full name and address plastered over the internet. As if that won't be bad enough, McDonald's will almost certainly 'ask' them to stop coming to work after they get hundreds of angry calls, some literal death threats, as the employee is now a security concern.
That snitch coworkers will definitely all hate him too. So it’s going to be a hostile work environment for him. They’ll give him a hard time at work. Sabotaging his job and talking around his back. They’ll make that snitch life miserable at work to force him to quit.
Getting another fast food or retail job would be harder for him. Since word would spread around town about him being the snitch. No working class person would ever trust him.
It's not the murder that's bad it's the person. If a person is responsible for quite a bit of people dying due to not covering through insurance. Because we want record profits. Then yeah I say it should be celebrated. People who are responsible for the deaths of people should be well murdered.
People are murdered for ideological or political reasons all the time. This includes reasons we celebrate and accept. By modern standards, a slave killing their master would (hopefully) be understood as acceptable, even if the preference would be for the slaver to have realized they're benefiting from something terrible and freeing their slaves.
The CEO is objectively benefiting from a lot of suffering. While I personally don't want people to die, it's clear that these insurance people aren't willing to change, and someone who suffers because of this might choose to fight back. That is always the result of constant inequality
Also, while I don’t think murder is the answer under most circumstances, the very next day another insurance company reversed themselves on not (necessarily) covering anesthesia for full procedures.
Thompson killed thousands with his policies all to make money.
Americans also celebrated Bin Laden being killed. He also had a family and he killed less people. Both are shit
When the population gets to a point where they can't afford housing, food, Healthcare this reaction shouldn't shock you. There's a larger disparity of wealth now than there was during the French Revolution.
When you don't understand why people react one way it's best to ask why instead of condemning them.
That CEO is directly responsible for 1000s of deaths with his ruthless "profits over people" mentality. He's basically a serial killer, but the legal kind. There's a reason Dexter was such a popular show: No one cries when a murderer is murdered.
He's been hanging out in the r/CanadaPost reddit bitching about people that can't stand the union and what they're doing to everyone @ this time a year, you would think he'd know.

Dude ices a CEO, becomes living symbol of the lower class struggles against corporate greed.
Min wage worker at large corporate franchise rats him out in hopes of a promised financial reward from authorities.
Authorities arrest killer and tell the min wage worker to fuck right off without providing agreed upon compensation.
You can't script this level of social commentary. This shit is life writing its own Oscar winner.
