McDonald’s

Even though McDonald’s is the industry leader in fast food, great power comes with great responsibility, and the people behind the Golden Arches make mistakes far too frequently.

Not only is it the most popular restaurant chain, but it also receives the most complaints; it has the lowest ratings on the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index and has recently received a lot of flak for its outrageous prices. Fries now cost almost as much as a Filet-o-Fish! That’s insane!

According to one customer, a McDonald’s burger is thinner than a piece of paper. Which is sad but true!

    Every time I start to read an article top one. You get to reading. Then it disappears. Then you get hit with others. Mixed in or advertisements. Ruins your articles.
