I've heard that Micky D's is, if you can believe it, making their food out of much less healthier ingredients than usual. So now the time it takes to kill you is greatly reduced and repeat customers are few and far between.
McD's thrived when median family sizes were larger, and ratios of casual dining cost/fast food were more extreme. Those days are over. I can get a 1/2 half burger, fries, drink, and tip for less than 2x the McD's cost for the same, and the food quality at the casual will be better, plus the dining experience and creature comforts of the place will be better.
Add in that todays DINKS going out to eat are not having to pay for 3 kids (unlike the 60s family), and more DINKs are at minimum at least slightly above middle class, and McD's plight was foreseeable.
I don't particularly hate McD's. I just typically don't indulge in fast food.
That said, I was utterly disappointed at their new sirloin burger. I was hoping for something good, but it was dry, tasteless, and just... not worth $4.
On the other hand, I stopped at Hardee's around the same time and had a $4 burger from there, and there simply was no comparison in quality and taste...
I think besides the quality of food, for many it has been a big turn off to meet Labor who ask for raises with the concept of replacing them with robots.
It's bad enough to think you could be eating fake food, and now they dont even want a real person to make and serve it to you. I say, design the robots so they can run off that junk.
Exploited workers and the plight of them is the last thing most McD's customers think of. Flipping burgers just isn't supposed to pay $15.00 an hour unless you want to pay $8.00 for a burger alone.

How do you know that?
Simple question... Are workers on strike good or bad for business?
I stop eating mcdonalds and when ever I might have a taste of it on a rare basis I get sick and throw up and its just not tasty so I just quit all together. I have heard this from other people as well
Food is not tasty, overpriced , gross. There are better options out right now
McDonalds has to go back to their original menu.
And the size and taste has to be the same.
The fries have to go back to how they made them originally.
They should really rethink their strategy.
No breakfast, just the original hamburgers, french fires and milkshakes.
They won't of course, so they will continue to hurt.
Sometimes you have to revamp and go back to what worked in the first place.
