can you expand on that at all? the last time i've eaten anything at mcdonalds it looked at tasted as though it had been sitting in a warmer for hours and i felt terrible after eating it and the customer service was indifferent at best. the only thing i've noticed them executing well is trying to at least stay somewhat modern and trendy with the store designs.
- maxerickson 12y agoYou have to look at their overall performance, not a single visit. In general, the experience is pretty consistent, and they perform well financially. One of the things I don't like is that the food is designed to taste good when it is very fresh (I remember documentaries of their food scientists working on the perfect french fry, but they didn't show them waiting 8 minutes to taste them or whatever). But it's always the same. That's a remarkable accomplishment at their scale. I also don't think the food actually tastes all that good, or that it is all that satisfying, and too much soda. But I can see that they are very intentional and successful in making it that way.
- mathattack 12y agoI used to buy into the "It's all about execution" and "We can make consistent food with a high school work force" story but the very few times I have been in there lately have been bad experiences. I'm not sure if the experience has gotten worse, or my tastes have changed. (I used to have no problem eating there many times a week)
