Is McDonalds getting slower?

All of the quick service restaurants are getting slower because sales are massively down and everyone is falling over themselves to offer more variety or discounted food to attract customers to actually come to the store.

Of course Maccas is going to be slower now, not only do they have Create Your Taste where you can customize your burger down to the quantity of sesame seeds you want on the bun but even their regular menu items have been expanded significantly. You can get sparking soda's, all sorts if icecream drinks, all day breakfast (people ordering pancakes at 4pm), toasties, doughnuts, brownies - and the two burgers I really like (Southwest BLT) have tortilla chips in it, and the other (Clubhouse Chicken) has grilled onions - the onions don't grill themselves. Also with the new self order terminals even if you order something from the menu you can customize the crap out of it, change the bun, there is like 5 different types of lettuce you can choose from and you can specify the quantity of every ingredient - I feel so bad for the poor staff sometimes reading the pick slip must be like reading a dictionary, I always see clowns ordering $30 burgers with a billion different items on it.

Just like Jester's is getting slower now that they sell baguettes, wraps and Krispy Kreme's.

And KFC is slower now that they are serving boneless chicken, 24 nuggets for $10, 9pcs Chicken for $9.95. Some of the KFC's are even selling hash browns, bacon egg rolls and stuff. KFC is doing catering now too where they have a range of catering packages all the way up to $230 for like 200 different pieces in it. Can you imagine getting a fax order in the middle of lunch time for like 800 pieces of chicken pickup in 30 minutes?

Hungry Jack's is doing chicken fries or something dumb when I last went in there and like 10 nuggets for $3 or something.

Then you have Subway selling $2 toasties, FitChips and 2 wraps for $10 with 2 new types of wrap.

It's all just insane for the workers and the people at head office should really stop with all this nonsense because all it does is frustrate customers when they need to spend 10 minutes to get their order.
