And the ice cream machine?
Outside of America ice cream machines work. The rest of the world doesn’t do monopolies very well, so mcdolands can actually fix their machine when it’s broke, instead of waiting forever for an authorised fixer from one company. Also, people get a living wage working there, so they care a bit more.
Never worked.
There’s an urban legend it worked for 30 minutes the first day it opened. Some say it’s a lie to give children hope.
But the restaurant, a symbol of the country’s Western aspirations,
I promise I’m no tankie but this line in reference to McDonalds is cursed
McDonald’s eastward expansion is cultural genocide of Ukrainian fast food.
This whole thing smells addy.
Slava Ukraini, slava Heroyam btw.
If you don’t support Western freedom like having a McDonalds then you’re a tankie, that’s the rule. You’ll be receiving your monthly Stalin painting soon, the cadre expects a daily kiss on it before you mail it back at the start of the month, so I recommend you invest in “Commie red” lipstick now to be sure it’s obvious!
Oh no! I think the comittee forgot to send my Stalin painting, I hate McDonalds and would love to see it go under.
Can someone please stop these Stalin paintings being sent to my house! All I said was universal healthcare is cheaper than private healthcare!!
One of the most annoying things citizens can do in the enemy’s eyes, is continue to live their lives like the war isn’t happening. Of course, they don’t have much choice, because they still need food on the table, and the bills don’t fucking stop.
Keep calm, and carry on.
But is ice cream machine broke? y/n
Fuck these stupid reddit jokes stfu about the ice cream machines already
Jeez, who took a dump in your McFlurry?
Exactly mcdonalds ice cream is as important as the Sun to you
Only in America where there’s an exclusive service contract that forces franchisees to use a very expensive third party to fix the machines. The machines throw error codes that can only be cleared by a service visit for something that should be as simple as a clean and reset. It incentivizes machines that fail often and disincentivizes the franchisee from actually keeping the machine running.

Lol having one of those function for more than 2 hours would be mythical on its own, a whole day?
I think that’s an America only thing. Sure I’m not the most loyal McCostumer (like I’m only go there if I’m out of other options) but I’ve never seen one out of service here in Europe. On the other hand I’ve heard that McDonald’s coke is better in the USA, while this side of the pond is the most watered down, flat, ass-tasting liquid one can buy legally.
The legend behind the Coke being better at McDonald’s is supposedly the ratio of syrup to carbonated water is just a hair off, it’s stored cooler than mandated and the straws are (or at least used to be) wider than average straws to allow for bigger gulps.
They just recently added boba to the US menu for that last reason.
There’s a servicing contract thing that happens with them here, so they’re probably engineered to break down often. Walk into a modern factory anywhere in this country and tell me their machines break down like that. It’s absurd.
It’s rather that the machines give generic errors with no useful info, requiring calling for service. And if the minimum wage workers don’t follow the instructions correctly for cleaning it will fail, but won’t give an error until the end of the process hours later.
They’re not actually broken, it’s just a cleaning process that is easy to do wrong when you don’t care because you’re paid pennies.
I’ve also heard it’s just a long process, so if they’re backed up with orders, “it’s broken” again. :p
Wait till you taste a Mexican coke from a glass bottle.
Coke is the US has been HFCS crap for a long time now.
Milkshake machine shirley? It’s never on when you really want one.
F
This is an American thing… Corporate fraud by another name. Worth the google.
🤣
I hate that people downvote this.
I will leave a solidarity 🤣
But Thomas Friedman said
No two countries that both had McDonald’s had fought a war against each other since each got its McDonald’s
Well yeah he’s a dumbass. ~~ I think Peru and Ecuador went to war disproving this like 30 years ago~~. Nvm i totally botched the countries but yeah it was already false when Friedman said it: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mcdonalds-countries-war/
Communism suffered its first Big Mac attack today as McDonald’s opened a restaurant in Yugoslavia, and police were called in to keep customers who lined up for hours from getting too unruly under the golden arches.
Calling this a Bread Line and suggesting it was proof of capitalism’s failure.
Maybe it identifies as a waffle house?
An ad? In my lemmy?
It’s more likely than you think.
McDonald’s is so In. Indestructible, Indigestible food, Inhumane working place, …
There is something interesting about adults who can go out and eat or cook pretty much anything they want and go sit in a McDonald’s
It used to be cheap but nowadays i agree, it’s just expensive shit food no reason ever to go there.
That’s why I use the drive thru
Did they get Putin’s order wrong back in 2009 or something?
they kept the pickles, when he ordered a burger without
Then he proceeded to call the drive through attendant a secret Nazi.
deleted by creator
No he just likes to target civilians.
Insurgent McDonalds lol
He ordered a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, 4x4 animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease; make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.
But they forgot the pickles
plot twist it was Zelenskyy false flaggin
Slava Ukraini. Slava Heroyam.
Big “the house burned down but the bible survived” vibes lmao
Yeah what exactly is being celebrated?
The resilience of predatory capitalism.
It would seem so. I really don’t like the mythical struggle that’s being projected on to this whole shitshow. People are so gross.
The ability of people to have some shed of normalcy to preserve their psycho amid totally fucked up situation?
Recently russia just flies reactive shahed in circles around Kyiv so the alarms would play nonstop. So you don’t even go to shelters cause otherwise you’d have to live there 24/7. That, and half-empty shelves in the shops cause the storehouses are being targeted.
So, yeah, just order for some burger and coke is celebrated.
I guess I’m being insensitive. For me to get opinions on this war is also kind of ghoulish at times
Hahahahahah!
And that’s all I have to say about that!
I hate to agree with russia, but all mcdonalds should be destroyed. It’s poison garbage food and you all should know it.
it’s garbage, but don’t forget, russia used to have mcd’s themselves. and even now, russia has a knockoff mcd’z.
Damn, I could really go for some Mc🅱️onald’s right now
I’m любовь it!
I find it very curious how russia does some interesting things like that. One of the few places that invest heavily in sovereignty and makes resistance to us brands. A pity they kind of do that for the wrong reasons and are imperialist themselves
yeah it’s wild how they can despise the west… but also, want to be the west themselves? they despise capitalists… and have hollowed out their own country with crony capitalism… they’re a failed petrostate who are losing a war to a tiny neighbor, 1000-1600 dead every day, going on longer than WW1.
oh and they have the second largest pile of nuclear weapons in the world (or first, depending on whose numbers you trust)…
What’s interesting about this? MacDonald’s left after the fullscale invasion, and someone bought the assets to make a cheap kickoff.
It is not about sovereignty, they try to preserve Moscow as “rich and just like the West”, cause it’s the place foreigners visit.
If more countries had their “cheap kickoff” instead of the us brands, the us wouldn’t be as powerful and influential as it is today.
If only people resisted the giant us brands by themselves, as a cultural thing…
They do want McDonald’s though, it’s not a cultural thing. Kickoffs are made cause the real thing left them, not cause they resisted it.
Good point
You really think someone bought the assets?
Well they paid at huge discount, cause it’s not like they had many buyers. But they did pay some.

Paywalled beyond the first paragraph
It’s an ad. Blocked by ads.
Do you see something different to that, or are you just implying that paywalls are advertising ?
Mcdonalds are like cocroaches now?
Not completely surprising. Their food doesn’t decay either https://www.good.is/iceland-live-streams-a-mc-donalds-cheeseburger-from-2009-and-it-still-looks-the-same/

Wait until the war is over, then shut it down out of spite.
And because McDonald’s is shit.
