Just wanted to chime in and agree with you guys re:MCD and it's short and long term prospects...

I think that the company is listening to critics and taking measured steps to correct some of its problems - as few as those may be. IMO, when you're at the top, people tend to make a much bigger deal out of problems than if you are an up-and-comer.

BK, for example gets a free ride on the fact that they have tried TONS of different foods out and have many, many of them have failed. Look at some of the sub-like sandwiches, for example.

It took years for WEN to get their act together, and while I enjoy their food, they still don't appeal to the youngsters like MCD's, and probably never will.
