Self-fulfilling prophecy. They knew eventually McDonald’s would lose their quality over time, and it did. Worse, it has become unaffordable for many and unhealthy for most.
A McDonalds can't compete with a $70 pesos burger sold in Mexico City, this is how bad McDonalds burgers are for most people outside the United States, we think it's a great place, it's not
@@amateur_football9751 that’s simply not true McDonald’s regularly rates towards the top of the chart when ranking fast food restaurants. There’s a reason they are worldwide. Everyone in the world likes them.
@@metastabillity8991you like prepackaged, refrigerated, microwave heated ingredients on your burritos, do you? Another insider tip: Wendy's makes them the exact same way. Grossest burritos in the world. Don't know about BK.
Ray Kroc was a genius. McDonald’s was a great restaurant chain, up until the 00’s. I was a kid in the sixties and loved Mc D’s. The Fish Filet was my favorite. It was invented for Catholics for Lent. McDonald’s was my first job in High School.
It feels like In N Out burger was built on very similar core principles to the original McDonald's. Almost like In N Out is a reflection of what McDonald's could have been if it chose not to franchise.
Probably right on the money with that one. I hate that we still don't have any locations in Arkansas but at the same time understand why they're so slow to expand. One of the biggest disappointments I had when I visited Dallas was that all the In N Outs in the DFW metro were closed when I was visiting. There were employees in the store cleaning and performing maintenance. I walk up to the door and there was a sign about all locations in the metro being closed due to something that happened with their bun/bread supplier. I'm sure they could have went to any food service company in the metro and got something else to substitute, but they literally would rather not open the store than serve anything that is even remotely different than the product they are known for. It's why In N Out is known for being better than the average fast food.
I call this the madden/ call of duty theory. They moan and grope about the quality and how bad it is, but still, at the end of the day, they pop that disc or spin that hard drive at the end of the night and play. Guarantee most who complain will smash that mcdouble at truck stop on a road trip or after a long days work. 😂 it's just being human I guess.
They were right but make no mistake every now and then I be drunk or just hungry and need something quick and a bacon quarter pounder w fries always hits the spot
The bros were right, not just about food servicing, but business management in general. And yet, they still lost because it is more rewarding to be a competitive opportunist than it is to be a principled visionary.
I’m a crew member our local McDonald’s the standards are high to be fair but the cost of a meal is what made McDonald’s brilliant but now it’s almost £10 for what was $1 meal can’t even call it cheap and cheerful anymore
Nah. Ray was right. He is the reason we even have the mcdonald's system around the world. And the 2 guys would have died as nobodies if not for ray croc.
Most places care about getting the fastest drive through time not giving a shit about anything else.. I would’ve loved to try a burger back and they’re beginning
Ray never screwed them over he wanted to push it out but did it the well corporate america would he didnt try to push them out the movie paints him as if hes a villain and stole which is not true at all
It’s a damn shame that what they predicted came true. Now theres 42,000 locations that can’t cook a burger properly keep fries warm or even listen to the details of customer orders. The one I worked at before quitting barely passed a health inspection thanks to the ot I put in.
this is why you never trust anyone, the guy was a crooked sales guy, only on it for himself, theres alot of snakes out there just like him. it's up to you to say no. not getting contracts in writing is just stupid.
thats because the founder kept his franchises small and didnt meet any guys like ray to do that. Cathy stayed the founder all the way through unlike what Ray unintentionally took from the McDonald's. If Cathy franchised his restaurant and left someone like Ray in charge to spread the company around CFA wouldn't have become a sensation and would have ended up like McDonald's
Urgh ......this is where they couldn't see it. Kroc was the guy , the salesman with the it factor . Persistent son of a bitch. To me I would have looked at my brother and said the following . "all right Ray if you think that you can open all these franchises and uphold the standards that we keep in this location, then do it however, if you succeed we make you an equal partner of all McDonald's." The brother would only have to worry about their spot while ray , made president of the company . .....Urgh ....a missed opportunity for a family who created .... the same happened to Bob Ross
The brothers each got 1 million dollars back then when Ray bought them out, adjusted for inflation, they did really well, also I'm pretty sure Dick actually bought McDonald's stock with the money and look where it's at now. I'm not saying Ray is a good guy, but from a business perspective, I would have done similar except try and bring the original Brothers into the fold instead of buying them out and taking over their creation. Who knows what McDonald's could've been if those three could've put aside their differences and worked together with their ideas. Overall, even though the quality is nowhere near the same as it once was, they've helped feed a lot of people over the years, it may not be healthy, but it's better than starving and dying from hunger. In the end both sides had good intentions and both knew the future of what McDonald's could be. The brothers knew that the quality would deteriorate over time, Ray knew that this could become a household name. But it was wrong for Ray to cut em out, however at least both Mac and Dick didn't lose out entirely so it's not like they were left with nothing. The other thing to point out was when Ray realized what business he was actually in, if he would have said no to that realtor who knows what that guy would've done, business can be cruel unfortunately but it's how it is whether anyone likes it or not.
And McDonald’s isn’t very good anymore it used to be there’s a lot of reasons why they’re not good now I’m not even gonna go into all that there’s a whole list of stuff that has problems with these days

Unhealthy for everyone.
...... but not before being wildly successful beyond all their imaginations? 🤔
Unaffordable for who dog you can get two sandwiches for less than five bucks
@@marquisscott2086 the ones the size of sliders
What you talking about? They got $5 meals deals.
Now they have over 42,000 barely mediocre restaurants
But there is quality control.
42,000 equally mediocre. That’s the point.

Shame what they prodicted came true. Too many mediocre mcdonalds
Now, instead of having “50 mediocre stores” they have a million nastiest locations.
And people still go to them. Isn’t this country great?😂

Hi, I live in Dallas.
Ever hear of WhatABurger? 🤔
😂
if it didn't turn to the dark side of darth kroc
The DVD version of Super Size Me has an interview with some guy who makes that very comparison.
@@haiwin224same here in PA, in and out...all closed
Ray was there for the money, but the founder was there to make it original.
The brothers went to Ray to sell McDonalds. The movie isn’t factual.
@@Rudolf215 the movie is factual in that it portrayed a dickhead rooking two brothers out of their sweat & toil
That's why ray croc succeeded he persisted
He was an asshole
Ron working at a burger spot is almost ironic
Just don't ask about the "chicken of the cave" 😂
All these people complaining about the quality and yet, it made over 25 billion dollars in 2023. Must be doing something right.
Land...realestate business
McDonalds suck big time, I did not realize how much until I started traveling outside the United States
@ how old are you? They’ve been basically worldwide since the early to mid 80’s. Just curious.
The rich invest their money to get richer? Say it ain't so!

This is a very good film
Who needs quality control when you can just use tons of salt and sugar...
And those words are so true........ Quality Control
Ray croooook
And now that one great restaurant is gone. Replaced by thousands of mediocre ones
They were right but make no mistake every now and then I be drunk or just hungry and need something quick and a bacon quarter pounder w fries always hits the spot
stale bun
Might just be me, but I think the bacon disrupts the flavor of the quarter pounder. And I love my bacon.
The bros were right, not just about food servicing, but business management in general. And yet, they still lost because it is more rewarding to be a competitive opportunist than it is to be a principled visionary.
Watched the documentary, franchise worked. Good management can make it work if you like this food 😵💫
Now we know how batman got rich.
Imma throw you a bone.
In an alternate universe, that one McDonald’s became McDowell’s.
So much for quality control.....
I’m a crew member our local McDonald’s the standards are high to be fair but the cost of a meal is what made McDonald’s brilliant but now it’s almost £10 for what was $1 meal can’t even call it cheap and cheerful anymore
He didn't steal it, he was trying to help them but lack of motivation made it look like he stole it. Lol he saw potential in the company.
Thank you!
This IS The Exact Moment in History when McDonalds lost their Quality. I dont Eat At McDonalds anymore. IT Tastes Like Nothing
Bro is 80 years old on TH-cam shorts
💀
@@Mrjinglebells😂
you stay salty and ill enjoy my McDs snack 😂
Yeah McDonald's isn't worth it for me, I prefer real meat, only eating MC maybe once a year if I got nothing else to eat
Is that the cheese man before the apocalypse
The 2 guys were right
And ray did them dirty
Meh, it’s just hamburgers
@@db11750 He's a businessman. He did what they couldn't do.
Nah. Ray was right. He is the reason we even have the mcdonald's system around the world. And the 2 guys would have died as nobodies if not for ray croc.
Just like the founder and inventor of the Keureg coffee machines, he got screwed over and settled for like 50k with no royalties.
Was the top commenter alive when there was only 1 mcdonalds branch. And hes on yt shorts at his old age
And ironically that 1.25$ chicken tender tortilla wrap with cream and lettuce is literally one of the most missed items on McDonald's
Obviously quality control is gone
And yet people still pull up to the drive-thru lol
Most places care about getting the fastest drive through time not giving a shit about anything else.. I would’ve loved to try a burger back and they’re beginning
Ray never screwed them over he wanted to push it out but did it the well corporate america would he didnt try to push them out the movie paints him as if hes a villain and stole which is not true at all
That was their downfall

This drove Ron Swanson to work for the government and try to destroy it
No. Ron was always in favor of the free market. Win, or fail. This had nothing to do with government.

appreciate that!

Chick fil a has managed to keep high quality standards across all locations so it’s possible if done correctly.

Welp so much for quality and locations 😂
Probably the biggest truth about this franchise
And then ray screwed them in the end
It’s business.
84 years later… how did that quality work out for you? 😂
Ray Kroc
see the thing is mcdonalds in the USA is dog shit but go to another location that shit slaps.
This movie made me skip McDonalds for almost 4 years
That’s what happened…. Quality is compromised
It does after a while with about anything that becomes a mass production place.
Ray Crook
Kroc did great things for McDonalds, but he wasn’t the founder, also totally screwed over the McDonald’s brothers in the end.
The brothers each got 1 million dollars back then when Ray bought them out, adjusted for inflation, they did really well, also I'm pretty sure Dick actually bought McDonald's stock with the money and look where it's at now.

Place has went to trash since Kroc took over.
And McDonald’s isn’t very good anymore it used to be there’s a lot of reasons why they’re not good now I’m not even gonna go into all that there’s a whole list of stuff that has problems with these days
And man would the two roll over in their grave now quality absolutely sucks now
And what about millions of mediocre restaurants rather than one great ?
So that’s why all of there restaurants are mediocre
I now hate Nick he's a sell out
now they have 50000 mediocre ones
Eh some are actually pretty good still
They ended up making thousands that make garbage food anyways
how about 40,000 shitty ones?
And now they have millions of mediocre ones
They have 42k. Not a million
they have thousand mediocre ones that millions of ppl still go to.
