Excerpt:
Though President Donald Trump visited a Pennsylvania McDonald’s location on Sunday, the fast-food giant is trying to stay neutral in the presidential race.
“As we’ve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation in this election cycle. While we’ve not sought this, it’s a testament to how much McDonald’s resonates with so many Americans. McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,” the company said in an internal message viewed by CNBC and confirmed by a source familiar with the matter.
I haven’t eaten at a McDonalds since before covid, and I don’t really miss it.
Exactly what they did in New York State. What use is a highway rest stop where the main food store is closed on Sunday?
But the company that New York gave the contract to is the problem. They made those rest stops too small. All it takes is one bus stopping and the line for the tiny restrooms will take a half an hour. I hope the company goes bankrupt and they tear them all down again and rebuild them to be the proper size.
