This is a double-whammy PR nightmare.
Are we going to do what happened with Jack in the Box in the naughts and start associating E Coli with McDonalds? I remember hearing that FUD so much back then and now that the shoe is on the other foot, I wonder what will happen. π€ Not to engage in the fast food wars or anything, but also fuck McDonalds for helping this fat ass at all.
As much as I enjoy shitting on McDonald's, I don't think McDonald's corporate had anything to do with this. I'm pretty sure this was a franchise.
That being said, McDonald's may need to revisit some of the restrictions in their franchise agreements with regard to direct participation in political campaigns. A candidate visiting a location is one thing, but this restaurant directly arranged and participated in this nonsense.
So you are behind the outbreak!
They basically told the franchisee that they were cool with it.
The owner of this franchise is a right-winger who has been fighting minimum wage raises and probably thinks those pencil-pushers at corporate can kiss his ass LOL.
How was the Jack in the Box thing FUD?
What is FUD?
It stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
I'll be honest, though, I only really ever see it used in borderline cult-like environments, like cryptocurrency or Star Citizen. It's a very weird term to use IMO
Oh I see. Like fear mongering propaganda psyop type stuff lol. Yeah I see what you mean. Thanks!
Yeah exactly, and welcome!
I just meant that it last a lot longer than the few months it was a real problem. Like, I feel like we all talked about it for years and it affected their business.
I somehow expect that won't happen here considering how popular McD is worldwide, that's all I mean.
Fair enough!
