      Somehow I’m thinking ‘hundreds’ of workers is less than a rounding error, even taking into account that many restaurants are franchises.

        McDonald's has 150k employees not counting those employed by franchisees. "Hundreds" is decidedly less than 1% of that 150k. Still, best of luck to those being laid off and hope that McDonald's will treat them fairly.

            It is. I love the kiosks. If they could have robots make it too that would be great. They’d never screw up my order.

              I have not used a McDonald's kiosk in a long time. These days I just place my order in the McDonald's app on the phone.

                    Breakfast is very good. Almost never anything later unless we’re traveling. Then more likely Arby’s.

                      Yes, I eat McDonald’s food.
                      It’s one of the things I have in common with Donald Trump.

                        I do. Haven't in many years, but I love me a fresh double cheeseburger, preferably with fresh hot Burger King onion rings.

                          I’m like Mik. I’ll grab breakfast from there on occasion. I used to really love the Steak/Onion bagel sandwich, but not as much these days…

                            Maybe once every month or two.

                              Then I'd say it doesn't make sense to go to McDonald's.

                                Last time I was at McDonalds was 8/17/22.

                                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                  LOL. I cannot remember the last time I went to a McDonalds. I do know it would only have been for a Eggamuffin with sausage and cheese. Most likely with an order of hash-browns and large OJ.
