The news comes after the Golden Arches reported a $400 million profit loss for the first three months of the year.A living wage is definitely something worth while. Unfortunately for McDonald's, their inability to change with the timeslike say 20 years ago may be a rubicon crossed.McDonald's has struggled for some time with falling sales and dwindling customers.
But the company is fighting back, announcing a pay hike for restaurant workers and experimenting with an all-day breakfast menu.
The shift in tone also comes as McDonald's sales falter at its U.S. stores. Same-store sales slipped 1.5 percent during the most recent fiscal quarter, and the company is having a tough time appealing to millennials. Since 2011, the number of 19- to 21-year-olds who visited a McDonald's each month has dropped by 12.9 percentage points, as the demographic flocks to fast-casual chains like Chipotle and Five Guys, according to data the restaurant consulting group Technomic gathered for The Wall Street Journal. [...]"Most people simply don't think of McDonald's as a healthy place to eat, despite its efforts to offer more menu choices," Civil Eats co-founder Naomi Starkman writes. In a world where farm-to-table increasingly dominates eating ethos, McDonald's is still essentially serving up "factory farm-to-table," she says.

Every time they get something I really like, for example, their Mandarin Chicken Salad, they discontinue it. And here, their chicken sandwich is so spicy, I can't eat it. Lay off the pepper, think healthy, and forget the Monopoly game business...
forget the Monopoly game business Does anyone actually win their Monopoly game?
I very rarely visit McDonalds.
I get some of their salads, and their chocolate chip cookies, if freshly baked, are divine! However, it is hard to find something healthy to eat.
That mandarin chicken salad was wonderful. It had mandarin oranges in it... A wonderful ginger dressing. Naturally, they discontinued it.
We have a McDonald's about 2 blocks from our house-- it sure is handy!
I have never had any of their deserts....hmm...nowI'm hungry for chocolate chip cookies.....
In and Out Burger is the best of the lot.
I do like Mickey's chocolate shakes.
flame... I agree, but Burger King's burgers are messier to eat than McDonalds.
Kav...Never had their shakes. I have never heard of In and Out.
I'll have to try to see if there is one anywhere near me....
Still love McD's fries, but that's about it. I do love Sonic's breakfast burrito, and for $1, it's a quick breakfast when I don't get up in time to cook!
I am genuinely sorry for the people who will los their jobs. That said I have stopped going there because my favorite burger there, the Big Mac, had begun to taste like salt on a bun and the fries have reallygone downhill. It's Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburgers for me now.
lol Thank God for fast food!
I hope all of the people that will lose their jobs will be able to find another one.
