Gates can visit any McDonald’s worldwide and enjoy a free meal for life.
I didn’t know irony could be this disgusting
This is fucking retarded, of all the people to get free meals for life, they choose someone who is so rich it wouldn’t surprise me if he could buy the entire chain of restaurants.
That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.
Even if he did stop and order at McDonald’s, he’d probably still pay for his meal.
Would be pretty funny for him to go in during rush hour and order free food for everyone waiting in line using the card… though there probably is some fine print.

I’m betting someone like Gates stopped carrying a wallet with money in it decades ago and is so far disconnected from the price of anything because of his vast wealth that he may not even think to pay for his meal, not because he feels entitled, but because he has had ‘people’ to do that for him for so long.
They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it.
They do, at least to some degree. They would love to brag about Bill Gates entertaining an entire Lolita Express’s worth of business colleagues at one of their restaurants. And they would love for people to flock to a franchise location to catch a glimpse of Gates, in the same way nightclubs will pay a premium for models and movie stars to show up at their venues.
The publicity of McDs being associated with the Gates brand is worth far more than the number of burgers Gates could consume, even if he shut down a venue buying people hamburgers on their dime.
This happens all over the place. I work in media and quite often the famous personalities who have a net worth in the millions get catered meals while the crew has to bring their own lunch.
This is just one example, but it’s so fucking backwards how the more money you have, the more free shit you get.
Turns out McDonald’s is the good guy after all.
Trying to slowly assassinate the worlds billionaires with high cholesterol and CHF.
He’s been known to eat at a local burger chain called Dick’s, so he definitely eats fast food burgers. Dick’s is much better than McDonald’s, though, so I don’t know if he eats there.
Indeed! But apparently he also like Burgermaster.
They should give it to medal of honor recipients if they’re looking for publicity
Give a man a dollar, and the IRS will tax it from you and you’ll starve. Give a man a billion dollars, and he won’t have to spend a penny of it on food…
I know I’m not the only one that sees the problem with this picture.
