      Yep fuck that.

      2 for $1.

      And egg McMuffins and sausage muffins should be <$3.00.

      And the sausage burritos should be 2 for $1.

      McDonald’s trying to act like they’re a restaurant and not a fucking logistics company. The market rate of a potato doesn’t affect the price of French fries at McDonald’s when they legitimately own the rights to the only brand of potato that is used to make McDonald’s French fries.

      Any company that is known by all doesn’t do what the average person thinks they do.

      McDonalds? Logistics company

      CocaCola? Logistics company

      Ups? Logistics company

      Starbucks? Logistics company

      Miller/Coors? Logistics company

      Shaw’s? Logistics company

      W.B mason? Logistics company

      Exxon Mobile? Logistics company

      Amazon? Logistics company

      The price of sugar doesn’t affect Coca-Cola. The price of wheat doesn’t affect millercoors. The price of lumber doesn’t affect wb mason. The price of gasoline doesn’t affect ups. The price of coffee doesn’t affect Starbucks. The price of beef, potatoes, and dairy doesn’t affect McDonald’s. The price of oil (barely) doesn’t affect Exxon Mobile.

      These are the fucks that pull the levers. Not the farmers. Not the lumberjacks. Not the oil refiners.
