So how do all those "business geniuses" think they can make any money if no one can buy their shit anymore? 🤔
Mcdonalds doesn't care. They are a landlord and franchise business not a fast food company. Mcdonalds makes money on every open store regardless how well that store does. The only thing that hits the actual company is closed stores.
According to mcds, it's fine since there has been an uptick in wealthy people eating that slop to make up the difference.
