McDonalds sues Milan over eviction from shopping arcade - Polidicks

[url]http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/mcdonalds-sues-milan-over-eviction-galleria-203330128--finance.html[/url] [QUOTE]MILAN (Reuters) - McDonald's has sued the city of Milan for 24 million euros in damages over being kicked out of a tourist-packed shopping arcade, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, after the U.S. fastfood chain had rented the space for 20 years. A second Prada store will replace McDonald's in the 19th-century marble-floored shopping mall as a result of a public tender whose terms McDonald's called "unfair." To celebrate the last days of one of its busiest restaurants in Italy, McDonald's offered free burgers, fries and drinks to over 5,000 people from noon to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. "We wanted to say goodbye to the Galleria with a smile," said Paolo Mereghetti, head of communication at McDonald's in Italy. Losing the spot in the Galleria, which links the city's historic Duomo cathedral to La Scala Opera house and is close to the chic Montenapoleone shopping street, would cause a 6 million euro loss in missed annual sales, said Mereghetti. "No jobs will be lost as a result," he said. In a show of affection, 1,500 people left messages on a Facebook page set up in early October to comment on the closure. "I will miss it because from now on I can no longer eat my favourite Miami fries admiring the spectacular Vittorio Emanuele arcade," Catia Fiorentino wrote on the website.[/QUOTE] I have no sympathy for McDonalds whatsoever.

My life is complete.

Oh noes!

I can't say anything about this unless I know more details on what happened. All this says is that mcdonalds thinks the unsaid reason is unfair.

I think McDonalds is pretty delicious.

[QUOTE=zerglingv2;38084452]When you are hammered it is like a little winged god has visited your mouth.[/QUOTE] The only time I'm temped to eat it is at midnight after work and I don't feel like cooking for myself. At that point its just substance though.

Fuck McDonalds. The food sucks anyway.

You have to remember this is in Italy, and McDonalds in Italy may not taste the same as McDonalds in the US/your country here. Hell, even the difference between US and Canadian McDonalds is pretty big - US McDonalds is sludge, Canadian McDonalds is about your standard fast food level (not bad but not five star either)

[QUOTE=zerglingv2;38084452]When you are hammered it is like a little winged god has visited your mouth.[/QUOTE] McDonalds truly is heavenly when you are drunk.

European McDonalds != American McDonalds... yanks...

where the fuck are my McRibs at, McDonalds where the FUCK are they at

[QUOTE=zerglingv2;38084419]Hush, mcdons is delicious.[/QUOTE] Honestly, it tastes like shit.

[QUOTE=Furioso;38084801]where the fuck are my McRibs at, McDonalds where the FUCK are they at[/QUOTE] As long as they still have big macs I'll be happy I might eat less than one a month, but god DAMN are they tasty.

Wow I don't know if it's people on Facepunch who just don't like McDonalds or if McDonalds in the US is just crap, but here in Australia it's absolutely amazing. Burgers still aren't as good as Hungry Jacks though, those are unmatchable.

You guys must be eating at bad McDonalds.

[QUOTE=ratman_122;38084614]They have double Big Macs up in Canada, we don't have those on the menu in the U.S. WTF Canada?[/QUOTE] We just added Double Filet o Fish here too. Those are heaven.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;38084438]I may be spoiled by the culinary education but, no its not. Tastes like cardboard.[/QUOTE] No it doesn't? Have you ever even tasted cardboard? Because I have and it's nothing like McDonalds food.

[QUOTE=SappinMyNick;38087360]No it doesn't? Have you ever even tasted cardboard? Because I have and it's nothing like McDonalds food.[/QUOTE] The fact you ate cardboard makes me question your judgement Jokes aside, McDonalds is amazing. Have it in moderation, though, for obvious reasons, and it's all good Also the US version tastes very similar to what we have in the UK

There always was a shitload of people there anyway. Like you had to wait 30 minutes before you could eat. Also, I wanted to ask, do you guys have this burger in your Mcs? I'm pretty sure they don't have this one in the US. [IMG]http://risposteonline.myblog.it/media/01/01/158371184.jpg[/IMG] It's fucking delicious.

[QUOTE=Pandamox;38084209]with a smile, horrible diarrhoea and the smelliest farts imaginable. i feel bad for those people and everyone else in that mall at the time[/QUOTE] Well maybe you shouldn't eat McD's then. I never got horrible diarrea or smelly farts from it.
