    This is a double-whammy PR nightmare.

    Are we going to do what happened with Jack in the Box in the naughts and start associating E Coli with McDonalds? I remember hearing that FUD so much back then and now that the shoe is on the other foot, I wonder what will happen. 🤔 Not to engage in the fast food wars or anything, but also fuck McDonalds for helping this fat ass at all.

      As much as I enjoy shitting on McDonald’s, I don’t think McDonald’s corporate had anything to do with this. I’m pretty sure this was a franchise.

      That being said, McDonald’s may need to revisit some of the restrictions in their franchise agreements with regard to direct participation in political campaigns. A candidate visiting a location is one thing, but this restaurant directly arranged and participated in this nonsense.

        The owner of this franchise is a right-winger who has been fighting minimum wage raises and probably thinks those pencil-pushers at corporate can kiss his ass LOL.
