Gates can visit any McDonald’s worldwide and enjoy a free meal for life.
I didn’t know irony could be this disgusting
That’s kinda disgusting. In a world where we produce in excess the needs of everyone, but some must go without because of ilk like Gates and Buffett, the hoarders are blessed with the gift of also not having to pay for stuff themselves.
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.
Even if he did stop and order at McDonald’s, he’d probably still pay for his meal.
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.
Bill Gates isn’t Donald Trump. He wouldn’t do that.
Edit: You people really think Bill Gates ever eats at McDonald’s unless it’s for a photo op?
Wonder if they would revoke it if he just walked in and said “hey, you’re gonna feed everyone in this city today…”
