Really?

Here in New Zealand, they seem to put fast food restaurants more frequently in the poorer parts of town. In Auckland, you will only find McDonalds in shopping malls and shopping streets in rich areas or on an arterial road that may be a bit run down.

In Remuera and Epsom, two very rich suburbs you can not find a McDonalds, yet in a ghetto suburb like Otara and Mangere theres at least 3 in each suburb.

The true arbiter is KFC, you will not find any KFC's in anywhere but ghetto suburbs like Otara, Mangere, New Lynn, Glen Innes etc. Theres no KFC's in central Auckland and the fact that Carls Jnr opened their restaurants in the suburbs of Glen Innes, Mangere and Otahuhu is a sign they are directly targeting the urban poor in ghettos. (Here in Auckland these are Polynesian Pacific Islanders and Maori). They eat a lot of this food and much more than Europeans do.

These areas are also plagued with poverty, street crime, poor educational attainments, low employment and the streets are lined with loan sharks, pokie machine bars, $2 junk shops and ethnic eateries blasting rap, reggae and ethnic music.

Yet in a rich area, no fast food joints and the shops are antique places, nice restaurants, craft stores, accountant and lawyer practices and cafes. Its a known fact, the Junk food restaurant owners choose poor areas with high numbers of Polynesians and 3rd world refugees.

Even in the U.S. you see more McDonalds located in poor areas--that has been their strategy for a long time...all over the world...

Garbage in, garbage out.

It's like this Folks....It's not that Ronald McDonald's customers are Trash it's the fact that some of you might live in a Trashy neighborhood &/or area. They'll put up a McD's anywhere and on any side of town that's good for bizness...

If you move to a nice part of town you get Fresh Fries and Nice Customers. You move near AL & Peg Bundy and you get what you got.

Now JUST ONE MINUTE! Who are you to besmirch the Bundys?

You DO know Al scored four touchdowns in a high school football game, don't you?!?!?!?!?

The Bundys ftw

McDonald`s is a hotbed for guys with shopping bags, screaming about socialism.

Until recently our main McDonalds in Queen Street (Which was in an 1880s bank building) was the big hang out for bums and deros (derelicts), they would sit out the front and beat each other up get drunk. Then they would harangue people at the entrance and because it was a huge store with coves and wings and shjit, they panhandled all the times. Honestly you could not eat there, as the deros were dirty and spat and often swore at each other.

They were left tehre as they always threatened to waste you, and one of their party would buy a 99 cent item (Like small fries or a coffee) and therefore they could be moved on as they were paying customers. The rubicon was crossed when a homeless Maori started smoking Marijuana in the restuarant and several guys walked up to him and started beating him up. And also several defecated on the seats

One guy came up to me and started rapping in my face and said things like "Give me money fuckhead" and the 4ft 6 inch tall chinese staff were petrified of them (Nearly all tall, stinky, bearded crazy people and unfortunately always non white). Then what happened the police increased their street patrols, they opened up the restuarant, put in a McCafe and bought a 7ft tall Samoan Body guard in. The deros went and now you have difficulty finding a table to eat at!!!!

So do you guys have homeless people in McDonalds restaurants too, making them hard to sit in.

My guess about trashing the areas where you live and eat:

You don't like the area and it is a silent protest. Usually people trash the property where they rent and not where they are an owner. You may not like the landlord. I was walking along St Charles Street in New Orleans. It is notorious for being a very well to do area. I walked by this apartment building and there was trash everywhere. It was probably an expensive place to live being that it was right in the Garden District. The houses/ mansions around it did not have trash infront.

With McDonalds it may be the same thing. It is fast and instead of people thinking ahead they just walk into the McDonalds, and think cheap. As someone said, it isn't all that cheap. They get angry at the quality, cost, etc. However it is their choice to buy there to begin with.

Annie Hall reference. Lotta nuts show up there, is what I'm sayin'.

This thread reminds me of a jingle that my cousins and I used to sing waaaay back when we were little:

McDonald's is your kind of place

They feed you rattlesnakes

Put pickles between your toes

Ketchup running down your back

You better get your money back

Before you have a heart attack!

Don't like McDonalds, because as others have said, their food is trash.

A lack of home training; you have to teach children not to be litter bugs. Everything goes out the window of a car or on the ground when walking and eating on the streets, instead of in a trash can is atypical my (Black) community. I was in Northwest IN. yesterday and the road leading to a friends community was littered with Micky D's and other garbage. The thing is, the people in her community clean up that road once a month; I've seen them pick that road clean and in less than a hour there's litter. Of course when you get up into their community you don't see a scrap of paper. I suspect some folks who don't live in the area want to invite misery into their community.

THANK YOU! That shit pisses me off big time. I live in a relatively nice townhouse community in suburban Maryland, but the road that leads to the entrance to the community is a dead end street. There is not one day that I don't see at least 5-6 fast food cups and wrappers littering the street. I HATE THAT CRAP! I have even gone down there with a wheelbarrow and pick up tongs to clean up the mess. I have found liquor bottles, beer cans, dental floss and even nasty ass used condoms. Dirty, stinking muhfuggahs. I think it's the teenagers who live in the community who just drop their wrappers on the ground while walking home from school. The liquor and condoms are probably dumped by filthy ass ingrates who park on the dead end street at night to and

But to answer your question, it's because Mack's is cheap and the people who generally make a habit of buying the food are young and or poor. I rarely buy Micky D's anymore. I'll get a taste for their fries once in a blue moon, but even they don't taste like they did say 30 years ago when they used tallow to fry the fries. Yeah, that shit would clog your arteries in a heartbeat, but it sure did taste good. Even the burgers were better because they used pure beef without all the shit they add to it now. Hell, I remember when you could get a cheeseburger, fries and a shake for like 35 cents. Yeah, I'm an old ass broad. I think back in the 60's a cheeseburger was something like 15 cents and fries were 12 cents. The shakes were made from real ice cream, too. I'm sorry, but back then, that shit was GOOD!

I found this link: http://www.examiner.com/a...ob-the-60s

It's an interesting read if you want to know the history behind McD's food preparation and prices. Yeah, I remember when the sign under the golden arches read "Over 1 Million Sold!"
