quote:ok, I’ll speak for myself. I didn’t gaf about how they ran their business. All I cared was the cheese burger and not getting traapped in that hamburger jail thing or the hollow Grimmace on the playground
No, it’s because the company had a semblance of pride back then and focused more on running a business. The biggest example is a lot of people had their first job at McDonald’s through the early 2000s. You wouldn’t be caught dead working at a McDonald’s in Baton Rouge in the 2020s.

You want a good burger??? Go back to a Wendy’s in the early 80’s and get you a double. The grease would literally slide down you chin.. good times.

In 1987, Eddie Murphy drew a contrast between a McDonald's burger and a Ghetto burger in a popular joke from his hit release "Raw".
My how the turn tables.

And reporters probably smoked while killing Nazis in WW2.

Yep. And they did a far better job at keeping a burger warm than the cheap crap used today.

8. welcoming eating environment.
My kids wanted to eat inside instead of the drive-thru. I forgot that this location was newly renovated. It was impressive, modern, and welcoming. However, no one was in there at the time. I think its declining reputation of being a family restaurant over the years has made it a lost cause.
Looking at that video reminds me of Chik-Fil-A today. It's the one fast food place that middle class families will dine inside and are not ashamed by it.

Look at the traffic of CFA vs Chipotle vs McDonald's.
Like I said I was impressed and I would dine in a McDonalds now if I needed to. I just think its too little too late to achieve the old days and win back the masses. People moved on.
What they should bring back is a nice modern gymset/play area for the kids, and the characters. This was a draw for families.
Did the characters get axed similar to what happened to Joe Camel?
