McDonald’s is turning its golden arches upside down to make a statement
CNBC, Mar 7, 2018, Abigail Hess



At first glance, it might seem like a McDonald's in Lynwood, California has been the victim of a prank. As Business Insider reports, the restaurant's trademark golden arches have been entirely flipped upside down.
 
But franchisee Patricia Williams says that's not the case. Rather, it's in celebration of International Women's Day on March 8th. McDonald's spokesperson Lauren Altmin tells CNBC Make It that the golden "M" will be flipped into a golden "W" in "celebration of women everywhere."

"We have a long history of supporting women in the workplace, giving them the opportunity to grow and succeed," says Altmin. "In the U.S. we take pride in our diversity and we are proud to share that today, six out of 10 restaurant managers are women."

The logo will be changed on all of the company's social media channels and 100 restaurants will have special "packaging, crew shirts and hats and bag stuffers."

Hey McDonalds. You can do all this stupid and pointless social justice shit, but the bottom line is you are going out of business because your food quality is in the gutter and your business model stinks. Why would consumers spend money on a shriveled burger when for the same money they can get Arby's or Chickfila that actually resembles edible food and is delivered by pleasant employees.

You're job is to make food. Not points.

Super! 

All they need to do now is add a "TF?" to that and they will perfectly illustrate the logic and thinking behind their business and apparent new mission statement. (/s)

Oh, come on. It's always been more respectable for a woman to work at McDonald's than a man. If you're a guy flipping burgers, you're immediately tagged a "loser."

It looks like two giant hanging boobs. Yeah baby. Women! Hell yeah, I'm good with that.


I am very, very, very much pro-woman. Can't wait until Jenner sues them, and makes them put up a giant 'T'.

Quote from: http://fictionalcompanies.wikia.com/wiki/WcDonald%27s
WcDonald's, WcDonald or WacDonald's (ワクドナルド) is a fast food restaurant chain used in many different anime and is obviously based on McDonald's. The name is mostly used to avoid the McDonald's trademark. The various anime that feature WcDonald's have no connections.

Friend of Mine posted on Bookface this morning he was going to honor "International Woman's Day" by going to a restaurant and having a cheeseburger.  Not that there's anything significant about the burger, but to enjoy having a woman make him a sandwich.

Bobby Flay flips burgers. His burger restaurants are yummy, and on the grand opening he's flipping them.

Have a sexy woman eating a burger. Another reason to go to Carl's Jr. instead of WcDonald's.
