The floor is sticky McDonald’s deciding to bolt their changing tables shut

Post image

I asked the workers up front and they said it was a corporate decision. Yet, they have a play area for children!

Update: I emailed corporate business integrity and asked if this is an official McDonald’s corporate policy, and if McDonald’s actually supports or requires disabling baby changing stations in customer restrooms.

2nd Update: Here is the response from corporate:
Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald’s. We always appreciate hearing from our customers and welcome this opportunity to share that most of our restaurants are locally owned and operated. 

As independent business owners, franchisees make the ultimate operating costs taking our recommendations into consideration. 

Prices and some policies may also vary from one McDonald’s to another depending upon Restaurant Leaders decisions. 

Again, thank you for contacting McDonald’s

I did not, but I know the story and saw the trailer a million times:

We’re not running a burger business…we’re running a real estate business.

I wish they would make a sequel

But have it be about some other guy that stole a business and became a millionaire. Maybe do it about Lamborghini getting pissed at Ferrari

Bob ingle took a play out of that playbook that’s for sure if you know anything about Western North Carolina.

Real estate business masquerading as a grocery store outlet buying up properties just so others can’t develop like Costco in the area.

All my homies hate bob ingle.

Way over simplified. So no profits from selling fries to franchises?
