AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn’t have much leverage over Russian franchisee’s. They can try and say “close the stores, we’re leaving”, but the actual store owners would just say “no” and re-brand them back to “Rostik’s”. They don’t really have any assets in Russia so there’s nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia
Explaining the ineffectiveness of sanctions to an American:
ok so imagine you have McDonald’s but you also have Burger King and McDonald’s pulls out but the Russians can just make their own McDonald’s and they can still buy Burger King…
Say anything remotely negative about Dictatorship 1 and Dictatorship 2, and they come scrambling out of the woodwork with a long rant full of lies, stupidity, and revisionism and a couple of those cringe ass, unnecessarily large emojis to go with it. Honestly sick of them. Individual instance filtering can’t come fast enough.
Their burgers are trash compared to what they used to be - so fine - feed the Russians trash. About not keeping their word to leave Russia… does anyone here believe anything corporate has to say?
I know the answer to my question, don’t bother. But let’s all try to come back to the really basic common sense. Burger king topic in a war news channel? For real?
If BK food in the US is any indication of the quality in Russia, let them stay open. Worst of the worst as far as fast food goes. It’s economic warfare with none of the war crimes! /s
You rank BK as worse than McDonald’s? I only ask cause I’ve worked at both, and I would put McDonald’s just the tiniest bit lower than BK. Wendy’s is barely better than both BK and McDonald’s.
Not going to say they’re good, but it is wild as fuck how much of a difference franchises can make. There are several BKs in my city, but a select few are owned by a different franchise than the majority of the others. Their food is WAY better, consistently, than the others, and it’s usually a lot fresher tasting.
McD fries are too soft and when they get cold they are absolute garbage. They almost seem soggy, without getting wet. BK have a crunch to them. At least this is the case in the UK.
I sent my sister a bottle of fry sauce that she’s been trying to find for years (she never thought to check Amazon lol), this is what she sends me back. Told her she was supposed to use it to enhance good food, not make terrible food tolerable. not Mmmm
