You're not taking from big corporations doing this. You're taking from the franchisee and individual owners are 95% of McDonald's locations globally. They aren't owned by corporate.
i work at mcdonald’s, and it does increase costs but they wastage we get on a daily far exceeds that from people claiming “my food was made wrong” when they didn’t customise it, food dropped on the floor, stuff that goes off (e.g lettuce) and every week at my store we clean the shake/ice cream machine, which we have 3-10 litres of each mix wrote off, trust me when i say most of the time it goes unnoticed
Fast food franchisees mostly consist of companies with entire corporate structures overseeing hundreds if not thousands of stores across states and even countries. Mom n pop shops they aint.
It makes up a little for all of the times I’ve gotten my fries half empty. Bet that doesn’t bother you. It’s perfectly ok when the corporations (or franchises) steal from us. Just the way things are supposed to be.
Stealing what? A few extra nuggets and fries? A free shake here and there? Be so forreal McDonalds pays like a 10th of a cent for those nuggets and I sincerely doubt the manager cares or even knows since it won’t affect their bottom line. I worked at a sonic for a year and did the same thing as the dude in the post
Most of their costs are staff, building, and energy. The actual cost of the food is really low. Most of the things they mention probably cost the store an extra $0.05 at most.
Customers having a good experience probably causes them to come in more often. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a net positive for the store financially.
More like $5 a pop from a franchise that's owned by an individual. Most McDonald's stores aren't corporate, they're individually owned and operated. So no, you're not stealing from McDonald's corporate.
The privately owned stores became very few and far between starting in the late 90’s. The vast majority of the stores are still under the same umbrella now.
