SUMMARIES:
- Have you ever noticed the disclaimer printed on disposable coffee cups or sleeves warning you that the beverage you are about to consume is very hot? Well, there’s a reason that disclaimers like this one need to exist.
- Wanting to protect your brand is one thing, but McDonald's started to take things a bit too far. The chain has grown extremely possessive of the “Mc” prefix and has made considerable efforts to make it their own.
- Several reports of poor working conditions at McDonald’s can be found both overseas and in the United States. Pregnant employees being mistreated, wage theft, the scheduling of excessively long shifts – some up to twenty-five hours in length – without over time, the list goes on and on.
- Fast food restaurants have never been the most welcoming places for vegetarians. Naturally, many people were thrilled to hear the announcement that McDonald's would be switching over to plant-based oils.
- While much of the McDonald's menu is kept consistent at locations around the world, sometimes different countries like to add their own cultural twist. An example of this is the Bulgogi Burger, which was available at McDonald's in South Korea.
- Monopoly and McDonald's kind of go hand-in-hand. Their partnership was a great marketing move on McDonald's part, however, there was one small kink in the system that brought them more bad press than good. The contest was simple enough.
- No one has ever expected McDonald's to be a health food restaurant. No one’s asking for kale smoothies, protein bars or anything of the sort. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that people don’t expect their meals to be prepared with ingredients that at least resemble food.
- Shortly after purchasing three McDonald's locations in Virginia, a man named Michael Simon had fifteen employees fired in an attempt to reduce the number of African-Americans employed at his restaurants.
- This is, unfortunately, another incident that boils down to intolerance of minority groups. A Muslim family visiting Alabama from New York stopped in at a McDonald's in Decatur, where they ordered fourteen McChicken sandwiches. This sandwich is their go-to McDonald's order, but this time something was different.
- Let’s end things off on a more positive note, shall we? We’ve seen racism, poor working conditions, and third-degree burns, so here’s a bit of a darkly comedic pick-me-up. This event took place in 2016, in New Bern, North Carolina. On December 4, an intricate prank was executed by a very talented hacker, who tapped into the drive-thru intercom's wireless frequency.
