Cross-posted from “Too Bad, So Sad, Too Late - McDonald’s tells U.S. restaurants it’s not a ‘political brand’ after Trump visit” by @[email protected] in [email protected]
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.
If McDonald’s isn’t political, they should have that as part of the brand standards to which franchisees must adhere.
McDonalds’ opposition to unions is political.
When you’re door is open to fascist demagogues, it’s not open to everyone.
They don’t care. Nazis have money too, and McDonalds doesn’t discriminate.
So I can have my local McDonald’s close for several hours while I get some vanity pictures of me standing in front of a fryer?
Allowing everyone behind the counter serving food to unknowing customers sounds like a massive health code violation.
Without a hair net or hand washing in Trumps case. Photo op is gonna get y’all sick and you’ll deserve.
If a Nazi sits at a table with 9 others and no one objects, there are 10 Nazis sitting at that table.
If your company platforms racists, it’s a racist company.
But also you must leave within 30 mins or it’s loitering and you will be trespassed.
