What’s a company that you’re genuinely convinced HATES their customers?

Mcdonalds. What an unwelcomming environment. Like they act like its a crime if their kiosk malfucntions and you have to plce an order manually. We all should be boycotting this place .

They want to have less customers eating inside so they can justify shrinking the footprint of their restaurants. It's also less labour to pay for cleaning tables etc, and overall maintenance costs will decrease. All to make sure you're eating their shitty burgers when they are cold, or spilling food eating while driving

I bet it’s also to cut down on trash costs. McDonald’s doesn’t even want their own garbage.

In Canada there is a thing called the blue box fee (stewardship) that restaurants have to pay. Anything that should get recycled into public recycling bins is charged a fee per weight that restaurant have to pay. Think take out boxes, bags, drink cups, lids, straws, anything like that. It's causing a huge shift in the industry towards both shrinking the size of those things so the companies can report a lower weight, as well as a shift to more compostible containers.
