Well McDonald's Marketing continues to be crazy. Our latest first-ever duo meal as shown today with the Super Bowl commercial.
Chris K. Joe E. and the marketing team will allow us to have in-store listening sessions to include our customers and family to listen to their music. I can not wait to hear the parents enjoy this wonderful family-orientated music.
You damage our brand for your short-term stock prices. No wonder why you could never help Pepsi be number 1, you are a horrible well educated idiot. True I do not have a Harvard degree.

Revolting videos and lyrics from our new famous friend cardi b. We should be ashamed as a company that preaches family values. Possibly worse than Travis Scott.

And yet, Mr. Harvard's next memo will mention "corporate values" over and over again. If this kind of promotion represents the corporate values then they should bring back Steve Easterbrook, offering him apologies and full back pay.

Perfect example of Corp having one set of rules for them, and a totally different set of rules for owners!
WHY DID OPNAD APPROVE THIS???? Do you know how YOUR OPNAD rep voted?

Hey Chris- would you let your kid use that kind of language? Or are you trying to appear PC to try to make up for the racial slur you fired at that Chicago grieving mother?

“The people that the song bothers are usually conservatives or really religious people, but my thing is I grew up listening to this type of music,” explained Cardi. “Other people might think it’s strange and vulgar, but to me it’s almost like really normal, you know what I’m saying?”

Nice. McD just alienated religious people and conservatives, to align us with filth and gang bangers.

OPNAD REPS AND OPNAD “LEADERSHIP” is the problem. They are nothing but lemmings who serve at the beck and call of their corporate masters. They are in it only for themselves, betting that if they surrender to National Marketing everytime they will be rewarded with more stores. OPNAD Chairwoman should be impeached. And we need transparency in OPNAD REP voting records. Without it how can you tell if they are representing their owners wishes or serving themselves selfishly?

DEFUND OPNAD NOW! We do not currently have any control over how our advertising dollars are spent!

Anonymous said...

OPNAD is to blame. These are the same folks who gave the company carte blanche to set Global mobile app give away offers . Corp controls the app promo offers and therefore runs excessive free food giveaways!!!!!

It's the Cardi B "Offset" meal she's an angel compared to Offset, he's a POS thug.

The corporation is enjoying record sales, profit, and stock prices. Yet my cash flow is down over $100,000 PER store. What is wrong with this picture?/

Since McDonald’s Toxic Culture Ruling Sheds Light on Officer Liability-

Can we Go after Chris K and Joe E for this filthy Cardi B sponsorship??

Richard Adams said...

Not likely since O/O representatives approve the calendar and the budget and you let OPNAD take your money for the ads.

OPNAD leadership continues to support the Woke Culture. McDonald's Leadership is Toxic to our brand. The Board of Directors have allowed this to go on too long. Chris K. was brought in to cut G&A, reduce the number of Licensees and focus the company to to pacifying the greedy stockholders. Funny he even turned against the individual that brought him in Steve E. To protect himself he has brought this Boston Consulting Group in to decide how we will be controlled. Their early moves of BBV2020 increased debt and made the community needy of their BS funding programs. They have removed anyone that was able to relate to what made this brand successful. Funny as our COO has never had to really work in a restaurant. He just filtered through the system, we wonder why? No need to wonder why Boy Wonder has kept him on. He just does what the pencil pushers say in Chicago.

NFLA, OPNAD, NSLC and NOA. Wake up and defend this brand.
We hear about the company's Values.
Serve-Inclusion-Integrity-Community-Family.
Please explain how these Famous Meal Entertainers demonstrate those values. Their lyrics, language, disrespect for other cultures and themes are very offensive to the majority of the population.

This travesty deserves a full blown pushback from the operator body. We have betrayed our ideals. It is even more imperative that every operator attend the March 9 NFLA ALL OWNER ONLY MEETING in Houston. Make your feelings known. Plus I hear there will be some blockbuster revelations from NFLA and NOA. BE THERE!!

Rap “music” was made by someone who couldn’t sing so they decided that talking fast was the equivalent and unfortunately some people agreed.

Rap perpetuates horrible ideas like the police are bad, infidelity is not only okay but a good thing, women should only be used for pleasure, life is only about money and women, being in a gang is cool, breaking the law is okay, etc

There are exceptions to the rule but the vast majority are terrible and disgusting

"McDonalds is your kind of place" ?????

Popular hits of rap include breakbeat and hardcore and are characterized by lyrics that often feature drugs, violence, misogyny, and homophobic slurs.

Some rappers use sexual imagery in their lyrics, especially female nudity and violence against women. The topic of the lyrics of rap music can be related to what's commonly known as the "gangster mentality."

Gangsters were characterized by violent conduct, and the gangster mentality has been associated with acts of vandalism and murder. Also, the gangster lifestyle itself has been associated with a sense of entitlement to money and freedom.

In rap music, this entitlement to money and freedom means that many rap songs promote a sense of not being able to control one's sexual urges, including the freedom to violate women and children in various ways. Besides, it means that rap music lyrics are often influenced by illegal drugs, and the lack of responsibility for this involves money.

"Also, the gangster lifestyle itself has been associated with a sense of entitlement to money and freedom."

So this is how we get groups of young people charging into mall stores stealing as much as they can carry with no fear of being apprehended or punished?

Pretty simple…withhold February OPNAD payments due in March until there is full transparency and OPNAD voting results per member are released.also immediately stop granting this OPNAD group to give away absurd amounts of food.

Anonymous said...

Agree, stop funding this misuse of funds.

The Operator Body needs to insist on a National Vote to retract all of the empowerment voting capacity of OPNAD. They have tarnished our brand with this BS famous meal program, and are giving away our food at an unacceptable level using the Global App.
Joe E. is this how you overcome your privileged status? Pitiful leadership for our brand.

OPNAD NO LONGER CONTROLS THE APP OFFERS. THE COWARDLY LEMMINGS GAVE THE COMPANY COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE FREEBIES. DIRECT IMPACT ON OUR P &Ls. IMPEACH THE OPNAD CHAIR. PUBLISH EVERY OPNAD REPS VOTES EVERY TIME!!

Anonymous said...

We have these two so called “operator bodies” , OPNAD and NFLA, which never publish how EACH REP votes. We are simply told that “it passed”. This is not representation. And corp counts the votes to boot! THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY. We are fools to allow the company to hide its desired decisions behind a cloak of “it passed”. HOW DID MY REP VOTE?????!

WHY are all the Famous meal programs, for the most part, based on fringe, radical, unsavory performers?

WE ARE A FAMILY RESTAURANT.
WE ARE NOT USING FAMILY VALUES!!!!!

Secret voting is essentially un-American.

Yes, we have secret ballots when we vote in elections, but in that
case, we are only representing ourselves and our personal interests.
We want to vote without intimidation.

But once a person is elected to represent our interests on an HOA,
a school board, a city council, the U.S. Senate, or POTUS, etc. we
have a right to know how our elected person voted. Even the POTUS's votes
are public in that he/she either signs or vetoes a bill passed by Congress.

Where else in any of our systems do we have secret voting? I've heard it
exists in union elections, but that's hardly an example of good, honest
governance.

Can anyone else think of an example where a secret ballot works for the voters?

We can complain as much as we want about OPNAD, but nothing will change until we threaten to withhold funds and actually follow thru.

I just wonder what they each got paid? They should pay McDonald's for access to our customer base. I also wonder what this promotion costs per restaurant in OPNAD funds I'm selling 10 a day.
