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.

Once or twice a month(!) is way too often to act like it's not already an overindulgence. You're either not aware of how harmful fast-food really is in 2025 or don't know how to say no, but Christ, you're already giving your kids that "Freedom of choice."

Those warnings are everywhere in California.

Also, just about any fish you eat has mercury in it. That's just eating fish.

All that said, McDonald's food is shit.

I used to eat their breakfast and that likely has real eggs and stuff, but even when I ate it, it was often burnt or crappy in some way and certainly not worth the price.
