McDonald’s tried to distance themselves from that by saying it was the owner’s idea. If I remember from my days working for them, the corp would have to approve any special events that happen at their stores.

I assumed it was a franchisee's idea, but I have no idea how those rules work. I worked there for less than six weeks.

I’m not sure how it is now, but McDonald’s was strict with its franchise owners about adhering to corporate guidelines. Basically, if it wasn’t corporate’s idea, you didn’t do it.

I’m sure this one owner went and did this stunt without informing corporate, but since corporate didn’t take big action against the franchisee (close the store/cancel his contract) or release a very strongly worded rebuke, it seems odd that their response was pretty quiet. I just figured they be more forceful in their rebuke of one of their stores making a political statement.

The Red Hat Cult is saying this outbreak is fake because Tr*mp went to one McD's restaurant & people want to maek the company look bad or something. IDK.

i believe he's trying to poison americans to reduce turn out. i mean, did anyone actually see what he did when he was there? how many hours was he there unsupervised?

just asking questions.
