      They’re very mediocre in Canada. But that said, they’re cheap as hell compared to their counterparts. And I’d argue, in many urban centers they definitely are feeding the homeless, just charging for it lol.

      You can get two cheeseburgers, fries and a drink for $6. You can get a pack of nuggies for $3. You aren’t getting that sort of bang for buck at any other commercial fast food place around here. Something like that would easily cost close to $10 if not more at mcdonalds.

      I always tell my wife if I was homeless, she’d find me begging for change at the intersection closest to a burger king.

          Yeah it’s been a bit tight. Like surely, for $6 you could definitely get more food at the grocery store, but being that poor often involves not having the proper equipment or space to really cook anything. But yeah, our grocery store situation isn’t pretty right now. Fresh and healthy foods are expensive.

    They’re making too much money. Corporations are not beholden to nations, silly Americans.

    AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn’t have much leverage over Russian franchisee’s. They can try and say “close the stores, we’re leaving”, but the actual store owners would just say “no” and re-brand them back to “Rostik’s”. They don’t really have any assets in Russia so there’s nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia

      Rostik’s is actually what KFC was, and the funny thing about it is KFC has the similar franchise structure in Russia, they officially left, told all franchisees to change names back to Rostik’s, but the biggest one just said “no” even to that, as KFC’s contract that includes the rights to use the name expires only in 2035.

    Their burgers are trash compared to what they used to be - so fine - feed the Russians trash. About not keeping their word to leave Russia… does anyone here believe anything corporate has to say?

      I simply don’t get this mentality. I’m sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you’ll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.

    I’ve already boycotted Burger King just for how aggressively bad their advertising song is.
