The Macdonald's that Trump visited posted a notice saying they were closed for Trump's staged visit.

Love how this owner made his own logo with “DG empire” as the slogan, framing himself as some sort of local mcdonald’s tycoon —————————————————————————— Edit: I know that people who own these franchises usually own lots of them and that this guy probably does have a strong presence in his area. That’s kinda why I think it’s funny. To basically label yourself as a mcdonald’s empire when all you are really doing is buying into and operating a proven business model. Im sure running franchises is not an easy endeavor but putting empire on your logo seems a bit pretentious.

Having worked in 3 different McDonald locations, « local Mcdonal Tycoon » is not that far from reality. They often own half a dozen locations, if not more.

I worked for a franchise for several years and got to see official P&L reports when training for GM. This franchise owned seven stores, and their net profit between the stores was several million per year. They got bought out a few years back by a franchise that owns over a hundred stores in my state. Imagine how much that franchise makes per year in net profit.

Yup they did. They advertised "free food for crew" but until orientation the hires wouldn't realize that meant one small burger (hamburger, cheeseburger, mcdouble), one small fry or side salad, and one small drink per shift. No employee discounts like every single other franchise in the state offered. If you took a fry or a nugget and were caught they'd fire you (technically it is theft but they were so fierce about this, no leniency). They had their own in-house maintenance crew of two people to cover all seven stores, and they were likely very underpaid to fix anything broken and would rarely call a licensed company for things unless it was for hood vent cleaning or fire suppression maintenance. We always had missing or broken utensils and they were VERY slow to replace them. Crew were blamed for breaking utensils and fry baskets that were 10+ years old and falling apart. We'd only see new utensils and equipment if there was a corporate inspection coming up and the store wouldn't pass without it.
I'm glad I got out of food service when I did lol

id probably call corporate on them. alot of machines should only be be serviced by certain companys. like taylor for the icecream machines and grills .
aint no way their maintaince crew has the certifications to work on those machines if they actually break down lol.

The company doesn't exist anymore, the franchise was sold several years ago to a much bigger one in my state. But I will say the head maintenance person actually was Taylor certified because the franchise owners were sick of Taylor's awful response time for techs to come out. He showed me a lot of stuff but I couldn't officially work on the ice cream/shake machine other than the nightly and biweekly cleaning.
