First thing that came to mind:
Reference:
He calls himself "McLovin" to fool the cops in Superbad. It's a horrible movie, but kind of enjoyable.
Is that a foreign movie?
I only read up till "cops" and it sounds like a cool thriller.

RIP Dollar Menu.
I remember when the double cheesburger, McChicken, small fry, small drink, and others were $1.
$5 was all I needed with tax for a meal.

- That lovin' thing is embarrassing at this point.
- We still have the jalapeño double here. It's delicious.
- That signature sandwich sounds delicious.
- That mini-meal menu sounds like such a rip-off.
- McDonalds is doomed.
No jalapeno doubles? I haven't had mcdonalds in like 2 weeks but if the jalapeno peno double is gone ima be pissed
Lol the big and tasty still exists somewhere?
The best was like 15+ years ago back when they used to have 29 cent Hamburger Wednesdays and 39 cent Cheeseburger Saturdays.
Someone in front of me ordered a few of those today. Must be regional?
and for five dollars more you can get 50!
I doubt its more than half a pound of meat. Even if its white meat, its not costing mcds a lot

This is a McDonalds mantra. You hear it all the time.
Unless of course it's not and you happened to work in the same stores that I did.

Honestly, the good things at McDs are just not really all that great.
I love the double jalepenos and Mcchickens. The onion and cheddar is good too. Big Mac is good but fucking ridiculously priced.
I can go buy a pound of grass fed beef on sale for 6 or 7 bucks man. And then get some nice fluffy whole wheat buns. The place is just too damn expensive for the shit quality of beef. A properly done Mcchicken though is still very good.
They need to singe their burgers better and create a better patty. Start there.

The problems with McDonalds is that their logistics make it impossible for them to react fast enough to changes in the marketplace and to compete with new competition.
Their "more choice" solution is just crazy. It's fast food. You should be able to look at a menu and know what you want (and what everything is) within seconds. They should focus on their basics with occasional "marketing gimmick" burgers like they did in the old days. The only other option they have is to risk bankrupting the company in changing their burgers, supply chains, cookers, training, and every other logistical element that would come from a complete "modernisation" of their menus and services.

Hey, now. Sexy Hamburglar could steal my burger any time. If you know what I mean, which I think you do. [ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°]
Hell, if you've seen episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsey pretty much drills that into people's heads (or tries to) for "upscale restaurants."
Thats been true for years now.
But seriously, every move they're doing has been (more or less) good.
The problem is its all too little, too late.
McDonalds should have seen the cracks appear 5 years ago when Chipotle, Wendy's, and fast casuals like Five Guys started getting huge.
Instead they got arrogant, and now they're gonna be playing catchup for a long time.
McD's is basically the Microsoft of the Fast Food world.

The burger doesn't look that bad. However, Lovin Value Menu is a terrible name.

$14 is a weird price point for the classic pack. It shouldn't be more than $10, downgrade the burger size or the amounts of nuggets if necessary.

Super Size Me truly destroyed McDonald's. That started their whole change in philosophy to being more healthy. Meanwhile their competitors didn't do shit and have been gaining ground ever since.
They just need to own what they are
1. Simplify the menu
2. Bring back supersize
3. Drop prices (facilitated by shrinking the menu)

The only good thing about this is my $4 employee meal allowance may actually mean something more than 2 McChicken and a parfait now.
Can't wait to get out of there for medical. Lol.
Or maybe I read it wrong. Meh.

Every time I've seen that show, Ramsay's approach is always to find something the chefs can cook well (and something they like cooking) and to roll with it. In the case of more upmarket restaurants, specialising in one dish is the best plan of action - because they'll gain a reputation of "you've got to try out the <dish> at <restaurant>."
With that said, a proper restaurant can get away with having a large menu. Because part of the experience is sitting down and being able to browse the menu for a few minutes before ordering. That and there's no queue behind you waiting on you to decide.

Dear McDonald's. Do away with the "Lovin it" shtick. People are sick of it, it reminds them of your nasty food and failing image.
Your goal is to change the public's perception of you to be more favorable. No one expects you to change your name like Dominos did, but you could do like Wendy's has done and change that image.

Why did they move from the kids pandering and cheap burgers concept anyway?
If I'm in the mood for Fast Food lately I've been going to Wendy's. Love their fries and their Chicken sandwiches are awesome, especially the new Jalapeno Fresco sandwich.
Plus unless my hands have gotten massively larger, they started using the small Mcflurry cups and calling them large, but keeping the price the same. McDonald's overall is just gross though, every time I bite into a burger it kinda just turns to mush almost instantly. Bleh.

I think they tried too hard on the go healthy push and it totally derailed them. People buying fast food know its shit for health but that is the food they want. I mean that is exactly why Hardees does the crazy shit they do.
Hardees/Carls Jr CEO plainly says hey we know the food isn't good for you. We aren't going to pretend it is and we are going to continue to serve the food you want not try and health it up. McDonalds tries too hard to jump on fads

Shit, their prices are already ridiculous with the current quality of their ingredients.
You really wanna pay $15 for a meal at McDonald's?
My Mcdonalds lost the $1 menu, besides drinks, a long time ago. Nothing is cheaper than $1.50. I usually get the Big Mac meal or the 20 piece nuggets when I go.
McDonalds is terrible in my area because theres so many better places right near them. I can throw a rock from their drive thru and hit 4 better fast food places.

McDonald's has completely lost it.
Even Burger King is cheaper and better these days.

Glory days of 39c cheese burgers, 99c fish filets, and 99c nuggets. No more.
no more $1 mcchickens? guess i'll just have to wait for mcdonald's to flop back on this decision in a month.
my local mcdonald's is testing a triple cheeseburger that is the same price as the double($2). the last thing i need is more shit on the burger, but it actually is pretty good. the only thing i don't understand is why the drive thru is so fucking slow at mcdonalds now

It's the best burger by far and the only reason (along with McFlurry) why I actually visit a McD once in a while. I hope they keep it forever. It used to be only "during monopoly winter stuff" or every now and then in summer. At some point it became a staple. Nowadays it leaves the menu for other temporary, "special" burgers, but keeps coming back.
