Sales At McDonald's Stay Golden

5.1 Percent Rise In May Same-Store Sales For Fast Food Chain

(AP)  McDonald's Corp. said Monday that its same-store sales climbed 5.1 percent in May, as the nation's largest hamburger chain continued to prosper from budget-conscious consumers amid the recession.

The company said U.S. same-store sales climbed 2.8 percent, helped by classic menu items and its new McCafe espresso-based coffees.

European same-store sales surged 7.6 percent on strong results from France, Germany, Russia and the U.K.

Same-store sales for Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa rose 6.4 percent, mainly due to strength in Australia.

Same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, are a key indicator of retailer performance because they measure growth at existing stores rather than newly opened ones.

The owner of McDonalds was an ex-military officer who basicly won a feifdom from Wall Street to use the exact same methods of edible non-foods used by soldiers.

The aim for globalization is to eventually bankrupt all populations and have them sustained by plastic foods from gigantic international conglemorates.

Don't believe me?

Then tell me why it seems like we are headed in that direction.
