McDonald’s on Thursday reported mixed quarterly results as its U.S. same-store sales fell for the second straight quarter, posting their largest domestic decline since the onset of the Covid pandemic.

McDonald’s U.S. same-store sales shrank 3.6% as the chain faced bad weather and a more cautious consumer. That drop is the worst in McDonald’s home market since the 8.7% plunge during the second quarter of 2020, when states imposed lockdowns to slow the spread of Covid.

Analysts surveyed by StreetAccount were expecting the company to report domestic same-store sales declines of 1.7% for the first quarter.

I have never been more proud of the American people as I am now.

It's because they can't afford $3.50 for a single hash brown, not because they all decided to start eating healthy.

Probably good for their health either way, though.

You are 100% correct. Maybe the lack of shit food from the golden arches will improve their cognitive ability as well.

I still like to think people are just avoiding the grade F shit food.

Grade f shit food has it's place. Grade f shit food for grade c prices does not.

Grade C? Shhhhhhit! A sit down is about the same price. Pick-up meals from a sit down is the same price. I would say Grade F+ price and I do love taco bell every once in awhile.
