Remember, McDonalds is a real estate business first and foremost. Unfortunately they’ll be around until the end of time.

A good way to not deal with this is stop eating their shit food.

In what way is McDonalds a real estate business? Asking out of curiosity.

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Short answer, they have about $50Bn in reality assets, and rent them to the franchisees.

Food Theory did an episode that covers exactly this.

TL:DW McDonalds owns the land and the franchise owner pays rent.

I've stepped into a McDonald's less than 10 times in my life.
