I'm in need of a meme involving a certain type of feline and the regrettable mutilation of faces, but it escapes me at present. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciate. Thank you kindly beforehand.

Eye-gouging cougars? Lip-nibbling jaguars? Cheek scratching Pallas's cat? meowth? What're you getting at?

Then maybe the place that sells plastic food shouldn't have let this felon rapist use one of their restaurants for a photo op.

As I understand it, mcd had already done so many other cost cutting tactics to increase profits for their masters, the SHAREHOLDERS. The corporate business model demands increases EVERY quarter. This kind of continuous infinite profit growth just doesn't make sense in real life. They may have exhausted all other options to increase profit for their shareholders beside price increases. They have no one to blame but themselves. They could stand up to their shareholders and not raise prices, but seems like they're spineless, and now they are pushing up against the edge of what their customers are willing to pay. I don't know how long they can keep this up.

Growth for the sake of growth is literally cancer.

Anywhere but the mirror, huh? Please collapse, McDonald's.

Never mind that they’ve been seeing a sales decline for longer than just the past 100 days, and their sales declines aren’t limited to just the US.

Here in Australia their burgers have gotten so expensive, and so small - you’d be forgiven for confusing it with one of those gummy burger packets!

At least Hungry Jacks (our version of Burger King) has largely still maintained the same size; the Whopper offers infinitely more value and the Angry variant (spicy fried onions and jalapeños) kicks ass!

if only there had been warning signs

I can’t afford to eat at McDonald’s, even if I wanted to.

Well, at least some good has come from Trump's brainless vandalism.

If only we could've known ahead of time

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It’s been well over a decade since I have eaten there. I’d have to be desperate as fuck to ever eat there, like being in the middle of no where and mcd is the only place around.

Lol sure, I don't mind companies blaming trump. But what about the decreasing sales before 2025?

Does the effects of tariffs travel backwards through time? 🤔

(Mcdonalds is so bad, you might as well just get food from your local Chinese restaurant, which cost about the same and is much healthier)
