I thought the whole making money thing is why private business exists?

What? Are they saying McDonalds is in business to make money? "Mind Blown"

I'll take a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.

Actually, I'll take 3 of them. And hashbrowns. And a coffee.

Lol, the author of that article is a moron if they think they connected some unknown dots, lol

It's called creating shareholder wealth.

This is not a fluke, that's how stupid Vox is. Look at the stupidity. Just look at it.

I don't think the concept of a corporation running a profit is something the author doesn't understand.

I think the author believes his readers may not know about corporations running a profit...

...the same readers who were so out of touch they thought Obama was going to bring about racial healing.

I'd love to see McDonalds cut loose. I mean, they marched around the globe with no resistance when they were being nice.

Tell you a secret:

Everything McDonald's does is just to make money.

Haven't read past the first few replies, but consider the source. Vox.com is a lefty blog website that's along the lines of Salon.com. Assume everything there is a hit piece against capitalism, Republicans, freedom, America, etc.

I for one am outraged by this. Outraged! How dare McDonalds try to make money, they don't need anymore money! They don't even pay 15 doallars an hour everywhere yet!

For a forum that hates McDonald's and claims to never ever eat there, it sure gets talked about a lot.

Why am I NOT upset? Well I might want Breakfast in the evening.

Why do you think so many FF joints that did not do breakfast started doing it. Money! If they are paying rent on space why not try to maximize
every hour of profit you can.

I went to the local Mcdonalds one day at about 10:40 because I did NOT want breakfast food. The told me that they serve breakfast until 11AM at that McDonalds. I felt like one of the laws of the universe was suddenly no longer true.

You guys probably won't believe this but my son-in laws father invented McDonalds
breakfast idea.

He worked for corporate at the time and ran a store back in the day. It was his idea to start
serving a breakfast at a certain event and it caught on.

He didn't get one dime out of his idea.
He now owns several stores and does quite well.

Vox gets the real story behind this glorious news:

Why is McDonald's doing this?

McDonald's knows you enjoy breakfast. And though there might be some really altruistic junior operations manager who genuinely believes that the joy people get from Egg McMuffins makes the world a better place, the reality is that McDonald's just wants to make money.

Also, the new biscuits with real butter are much better than the old ones.

I stop by the one on the way to work and get a sausage biscuit at least once a week - excellent.

Got one at a different store yesterday out of town and it was the old blah, blah, blah.

All stores converting to real butter, but using existing stock until depleted.

I get the platter (no pancakes). Too often the eggs are bad. Perhaps they are pre-cooked and waiting to be served later.

Often if I get there about 1020 AM, the eggs appears to be freshly cooked.

If McDonald's wants to improve the quality of their food, it needs to be cooked fresh and not sitting in a warming bin for unknown period.

Does a business need any other reason?

Maybe if they can have the regular menu at all hours of the night also that would be great.

Sucks ass having an early lunch only to be fucked with breakfast options.

Oh, you're here at 10:29? Sorry, you can only get breakfast meal.
