Looks like McDonald’s is reaping what it sowed. Shit food at shit prices and no one wants to buy?! SHOCKER.

    They have been busy closing restaurants in the center of Stockholm lately, a few years back they closed the first ever McDonnald’s restaurant in Sweden, they also closed the highly popular restaurant at Norrmalmstorg at the same time…

      We’ve been to visit our family in Boo, and gone to I think a Nacka McDonald’s.

      It’s different from the McDonald’s I’ve worked at and seen, in that it’s clean and visually appealing. It stands out as being a little up-scale vs American metropolitan McDonald’s, which usually seem like late-stage professional surrender, and STILL it stuck out as being “not good enough” for Sweden. I think Trump has been good for people to re-examine their emulation of Americans and decide what they want for themselves. Take-out in Sweden was always expensive, based on visiting over the 20 years since our family grew there and we began visiting, and I barely saw it as a worthwhile thing then; making it more expensive will kill its presence in many countries completely.
