So McDonald's has figured out a way to use a journalist to market themselves as a down home, corn pone, local yokel "watering hole" chain to take the place of the independent diners and pubs and coffee shops and lunch counters, where employees used to support families with liveable wages.
I have a niece who's been a manager at McDonald's for many years now, who also trains new managers. Despite the fact that she's been a dependable, full-time employee of McDonald's for decades, taxpayers still have to subsidize her family so McDonald's can keep their profit margin high and they can bulldoze yet another unique, local business, and replace it with yet another airport-inspired architectural monstrosity with a line of kiosks, happy to take your order via touchscreen. It warms my heart and moves me to tears.
