I only ever want Chick-Fil-A on Sunday

true story

Hope often builds in me that they would eventually change that policy, but then I remember that it's been their tradition since 1946 and isn't going anywhere :c

What they do the spicy for breakfast?

OMG you missing out!

 

[Dead Prince]

The doom and gloom in a lot of the threads here was just....so....silly.

was just marketing.

The breakfast initiative launched in the current quarter so investors will have to wait until its next report to find out results.

This revenue is great news but its not because of the breakfast. They credited sales boost in China and a business reorganization.

I went to McDonalds. They didn't have the McGriddle anymore. I left.
Don't tease me with breakfast if you don't continue to sell your best item.

Wait wait wait wait...like anymore!?!?! Not even during normal breakfast time? I know they didn't sell them all day? This can't be true.

Are they going back up again or is it them grinding down there assets. I mean it's easy to increase profits without increasing sales and trick the market.

"The struggling fast food giant announced Thursday that global same-store sales grew 4% in the third quarter of 2015"

Same store sales (which increased .9% in the US) so I don't think it's chicanery on their part with financial games.

They specifically increased sales. Profit has nothing to do with revenue or earnings per share.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

They need to change up their market strategy... Stop separating markets by biscuits vs mcmuffins. Makes no sense.

They do this? Weird, all the McDonald's by me have both all day.

Yes, they still have the McGriddle. But you will have to wait until 3 or 4 in the morning to get it, just like usual.

 

[Angry Grimace]

But the disgruntled chains said...

Yes, it's going to be harder. Buy giving people what they want obviously will boost any sagging business.

The solution to this is to hire more help as opposed to trying to ride the backs of your existing employees at minimum wage.

Is it an issue of not having enough workers or not having enough stations, though? I imagine more types of food to make means more stations are taken up at any given time. An extra crew member or two would be good for the workers, yes, but it might not actually help alleviate the problems that AllDayBreakfast is posing.

I find it somewhat unlikely there's an actual food-preparation area bottleneck at McDonalds because I doubt the increase in business at the average Mickey D's is big enough to cause a legit crunch on space.

My anecdotes can't speak to the actual situation across the nation but mine are constantly jam packed!

But consider this article from the nightmare thread:

"In small stores, the problems are vast with people falling over each other and equipment jammed in everywhere," one franchisee wrote in response to the survey.

A third called it "erratic, distorted, disorganized direction from McDonald's," while nearly a dozen more franchisees complained that it slowed down service and added complexity to the kitchens.

That sounds like not enough workspace. Of course your idea is also supported:

"Unfortunately, with the current labor pool in our area, we are struggling to have enough people to run the shift, much less add an extra person," one franchisee wrote.

I LOVE their breakfast, that being said I dont think they needed to do it all day, they just needed to stop at 12 instead of 10:30 or whatever it was

 

[LucidMomentum]

OMG you missing out!

Hold the fuck up.

I am trying this this weekend.

 

[daveo42]

The Waffle Slider breakfast sandwiches at White Castle absolutely WRECKS McGriddles.

At my White Castles they serve them all the time.

Those look real good. Do they have the maple syrup flavor built in to the waffle or is it separate. I need to know. McGriddles are garbage because of their overpowering maple syrup taste.

They do have the best item, Sausage McMuffins.

Please take your Chik fil A memes elsewhere. This is a McDonalds aficionado positive safe space. Thank you.

Holy shit

I wish SoCal had White Castle ;__;

 

[illadelph]

hot cakes all day will do it to you

you could always get hotcakes all day if you asked

all they do is take three hotcakes out of a plastic wrapper, put them on a foam plate, and microwave them for about 20 seconds

Safe spaces are for mental cowards, and McDonalds is no better than eating shit.

So There.

McGriddles.

best item.

Does not compute.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Still crazy considering all day breakfast doesn't include the mcgriddle (Yes I am still mad).

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I've never tried mcdonalds breakfast. I've only had apple pie, mcflurry, and the regular fries, quater pounder, big mac, mc chicken, and cheese burgers.

Oh and here in Costa Rica these potato things (dont know if they make them everywhere else):

Which I loved.

There were people from the last thread who had worked at McDonalds and could attest to the change-up in workstations between breakfast and lunch. It was never just an arbitrary end-of-meal time.
