The "founder" of McDonald's was a true scumbag

[Wildin]

All their commercials is some smiling tap dancing nikkas "loving it" It sucks how that processed garbage is specifically targeted to us

eir

I guess pusha T came up with the song and idea and made a fortune off of it.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

They were ... at least from an operations standpoint

Okay, shall I say they lacked vision..

imo being able to run a business and being business savvy, are two different beasts..

My question to everybody that loves McDonald's that think Ray was a scumbag is

Would y'all rather the brothers kept running the business the way they was running it. With this answer most likely we would never of a McDonald's or any restaurant that came after McDonald's that was inspired by McDonald's.

Or

Salute Ray for wanting to expand McDonald's and make it global and mainstream to the world and be the McDonald's as we know it today?

That was probably from their urban/black marketing department. Black people probably came up with this. Can't knock it. They probably got a marketing department for every popular demographic.

Both, I don’t love McDonald’s nor hate Ray Kroc

You can observe something fascinating without picking a side

what came first the chicken or the egg?
Do you believe a member of their marketing team approached the manager and said "hey I have a concept for the urban areas" and showed him a rough draft of this on some "this is what the kids are doing these days?" Or do you believe the likely white marketing manager was like "let's do something to attract the urban crowd, go ahead guys jazz it up a little"

Look up McDonald's black commercials on YouTube. Why is it always nikkas dancing and some rnb faux hip hop beat. Why can a black dad and his black wife order a combo and a happy meal for their black child without resorting to literal shucking and jiving?

Ray Kroc died in 1984, apparently he was an alcoholic and his wife might not have really loved him...

Either way McDonalds isn't going to help him on Judgement Day.

Just read up on this. Dude wanted to keep McDonald's in suburbs cause he felt there was an undesirable element in urban areas. Now theres nothing in black areas but McDonalds : heh:

nikka McDonald's is everywhere

son was essentially donald trump before donald trump.

dude was kinda bytch made, but the brothers should have never had that bullshyt handshake agreement deal and just tried to get him for the 1%. Or when he started to expand the franchises more and more, renegotiate the deal.

I can see why Kroc was like that though, he was a middle age salesman who never felt like he accomplished anything for his age. Kinda fukked up how he did his wife, but his new wife had his same vision which I feel most marriages don't share. HE DID keep it 1000 with the people he came up with. All in All Ray Kroc was the Donald Trump, Beatrice of his era and in his industry, he is about his issua.

Loved this movie Keaton is a beast
Great all American business movie for the family

 

[richaveli83]

I need to check this movie out. I had no idea that's how McDonald's really got started.

 

[King of Creampies]

Why is OP surprised....most white men don't do things in a honest way.

This is natural form for them

You know what kills me is that I'm sure ray would have given them percentage points instead of that handshake deal... 1% of a billion is insane... He seemed like he didnt want to push them out.

But like everyone said his vision was greater...
