Mcdonalds doesn't CARE about what it's customers have to say, all they
want is YOUR MONEY!!!! They say that they do, but they really don't.
I posted the snail mail corporate office in Toronto Canada since I don't
have the one for the US. Maybe they can tell you.

JUST the company's 'conveniently' avoiding any references towards an
e-mail address should be enough to tell you what the company 'thinks'
about its customers.

What a load of Bullshit!!! I'm sorry, but when a company (such as
mcdonalds) makes a profit of $18.2 BILLION last year, and $17.4 BILLION
the year before, they CAN AFFORD to pay a sysop to maintain a email
account etc... They already have a WEB PAGE.

Those 'letters' (as you call them) are 'blackmailing letters' since they
threaten you that you're name will be released if you wish to press
further on your complaint. These 'letters' are considered CONFIDENTIAL as
stated on the envelope. What a 'wonderful' company I work for (sarcasm).

For some reason, this reminds me of Lily Tomlin's old phone operator
character (Ernestine?):

No, YOUR paragraph, sounds like a 'management excuse' to me. Of course
mcdonalds won't pay for the staff to operate an email address/etc... it's
because the company is TOO DAMN CHEAP!! I still think it's a load of BS,
I see mcdonalds as a greedy multi-coproration that ONLY cares about it's
profit. If other businesses can afford to have a web page (and in some
cases an email address) Mcdonalds CAN afford it.

BTW, you have a 'poor ASSumption' towards people... you seem to think that
I'm a 'youngster' (you probably think I'm in my teens) when in REALITY I'm
in my 30's. You would send all email complaints TO REGIONAL HEADQUATERS
in the first place, YOU DUNCE! I wouldn't expect mcdonalds to have 15,000
email addresses for all of it's stores, THAT would be stupid, HOwever, I
would expect them to have 1 email address for the regional HQ in that
particular country.

How sad. McDonalds runs a world class headquarters but botches badly its reason
for being...

Quality Service Value Cleanliness

The Kroc vision

The result: a hugely successful money machine

And very happy customers who got a good deal on good food delivered quickly in a
clean carry-out

And then, post Kroc, somebody forgot the customer

Make it cheaper, they said.

Make it faster, they said.

Better? Nah, they'll never notice.

But something surprising happened.

The customers, at least a few, noticed.

And the competition definitely noticed.

Burger King woke up.

Heck, even McDonalds woke up and one of it chief executives most responsible for
falling asleep 'gently' moved (or was moved) aside.

Will McDonalds remember that its customer base is not composed only of inertial
idiots who will eat there only because they always have?

That is the $64 question.

Some indicators of which road McDonalds is choosing:

a. The Arch Deluxe: at least when it didn't work they did LOSE it.

b. The 55 cent campaign: at least when it didn't work they lost it too.

c. Did Somebody Say McDonalds: Corporate egofeeding of the first order. Just
what is it that this ad campaign is supposed to be selling, that if fast food is
the question then McDonalds is the only legitimate answer? Baloney

d. Tiny Beany Babies: A distraction that runs off good customers and employees
and brings in ranting raving collectors who could not care less about McDonalds
and care only about the danged toys

e. The new production system: The jury is still out. What is the product
like?

f. The employees: Henry Ford knew it but modern society seems to be forgetting
it. If you want your customers treated well, treat your employees well.....

john cline ii who in closing says he is not now, nor has he ever been, an
employee of McDonalds, its Franchising System or its headquarters....

Not yet. BUT. I read somewhere in a restaurant industry magazine,
that McD's is considering selling it's coffee and ketchup in their
stores and possibly eventually down-the-road, supermarkets.

I believe the ketchup packets are Heinz, but when the bag ketchup used
in the grill area used to come in the big bags (that hung behind the
toaster stands) the boxes those came in said Hunt's!

I can't imagine that either. I worked at McDonald's for 10 months
(ending this Easter), and I never saw a brand name on our ketchup. The
cases simply said "Sandwich Pack Ketchup" or whatever else they were
being used for. But, to me, the ketchup had its own distinctive taste--
sweeter than store brands.

Just go out by your curb, scrape up any black residue you can find, mix with
water, heat in microwave,. this will taste a heck of a lot better in that
swill they pass off as coffee.

Besides why would you want to buy McDonalds coffee to brew at home when
you can get better quality "Fair Trade Coffee". This way you can make sure
that the person that makes the coffee gets the money instead of all the
coyotes.
