mcdo's dilemma
once upon a time, i mentioned somewhere here that mcdonald's might end up as a manufacturing industry. here's another story.
mcdonald's is not going to have their supersize fries anymore.
as my friend rey said... "what?!"
well, mcdonald's said it is a health issue. well, health issue my ass, i know mcdonald's is in trouble. last year, mcdonald's did something they haven't done in like forty years - reported a quarterly loss. but come on, think about it, after the big mac and the mc chicken nuggets, mcdonald's wasn't able to come up with new innovations. and even if mcdonald's is still raking in cash and still making enough profits to keep the bottom line figures look okay, the cash is coming from outside the US. i heard last year, mcdonald's opened 3,000 more stores, most of which is outside the borders.
doesn't it scare you that mcdonald's, the donald trump of the burger-flipping industry, is in a shaky situation?
