McDonald's Tells Workers It Doesn't Endorse Political Candidates After Trump Visit

23. That's not what corporate says unofficially

My spouse use to manage a McDs. The unwritten rule was that if your store was going to be in a nation wide news story, you had better clear it through corporate.

My spouse got reprimanded by the store owner for not contacting corporate....the owner wasn't available to call....before cell phones.

The store was photographed in an animal abuse story about the meat and fat McDs was using back then. A photographer just drove by the store and took background footage for the story. No interviews, no blame on that store. Corporate wasn't happy.

In this case, I'll bet dollars to doughnuts corporate knew this was going down and allowed it.
