McDonald's Franchisees Never Been This Depressed

Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse for McDonald’s, it did.

The six-month outlook for franchisees is at an all-time low, according to a small survey by Mark Kalinowski, a long-time restaurant industry analyst.

Some 29 franchisees, who collectively own and operate 208 McDonald’s restaurants in the United States, were asked to give their six-month forecast from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). The average response was 1.69, the lowest in the survey’s 12-year history.

Previously, the lowest rating was 1.81, which was recorded three months ago.

Why? The fries are nothing but processed fake potatoes. They are not real fries and you are putting a substance in your mouth that will cause cancer.

Have you seriously taken a look at the hamburgers. Have you really noticed that they are not real hamburger meat? The next time you go into McDonalds look at the meat and compare it to the hamburgers you make at home. If you want real burgers and fries go to the Cook Out.

McDonalds is the single largest purchaser of Idaho potatoes. They aren't fake.

Don't be ridiculous.
