It's like the fast food version of Sad Guys on Trading Floors. The Post examines how formerly high-flying Wall Street executives are eating at McDonald's these days (and there are photos!). One said, "You've got to save when you can. I've got two kids in college...I try to do it once a week. It's cheap and it's easy." Another added, "I get the Number 2 meal for $5.45. I don't Super-Size it." Good that he's trying to stay relatively healthy! And McDonald's is looking to enhance its relationship with downsizing customers (as well as its usual base): The Street reports, "McDonald's said it plans to invest $2.1 billion of capital to open about 1,000 new restaurants and upgrade existing locations."

ugh. disgusting. i can't believe how many they open. sickening.
The value menu at Wendy's is better. Burger King's dollar breakfast menu is pretty good; love those little hockey puck hash browns.
i can't afford to eat an a mcdonald's everyday...
Your heart can't afford it.
Fast food isn't something you should eat every day, that's common sense. Once in a while is fine. I refuse to buy into the hysterics of the health food nazis.
nazis? Nazis starve people and put them in the gas chambers. Nazis did not promote a healthy diet. Anyhow Ides, expect these wall street types to start shaping into large blobs as those people in the poor neighborhood whose diets consist of MickeeDees.. MickeeDee is a Nazi, it is mass killing people with that evil clown face.
Wasn't Hitler a vegetarian?
Again with your hysterical PETA-obsessed rants, shouldn't you be at some KFC protest with your fellow animal rights maniacs?
No Hitler was not a vegetarian. that is a common response from animal abusers.
geez i had no idea the soup nazi gassed and killed people. i thought they just called him that cause he was such a dick and liked to control everybody. quite certain that's what type of "nazi" ides is referring to here.
see this is bad. i mean instead of more nice restaurants we are going to have more mcdonalds. then you people are gonna bitch that our society is trashy. sometimes there's just no winning with you guys
Why do you think his soup tastes so good? That ain't chicken.
Once a week, wow. That must be rough on them...
McDonalds has had an 80% increase in profits why? they're cheap.
WHY do you always say things like this. That is completely obvious, why do you always comment something that is so obvious and part of the story like you just came up with something?
this comment made my night. you have clearly had enough. lol.
What do you feed a Fat Cat? Why, cat food of course.
The real reason why DABA was formed.
That pic looks so fuckin good. I would destroy a big mac meal right this moment - but I wont because then I pay for 2 days...
Or they could save money like I do and bring their lunch from home. Wish I could afford to spend $6.00 (or more, in their cases) a day on lunch. Guess they'd rather be seen hiding out in a Mickey D's than lunching with the peons in the cafeteria?
LOL, I hate the cafeteria, peons keep talking to me. :0
Ditto. Invest in a tupperware, and wake up an hour earlier to prepare the lunch box, or the night before. OR, go to chinatown, where you can always find cheaper food than mcC.
It's ridiculous to see the menus in McDonalds. Why is salad more expensive than the rest of the other meals? I thought vegetable is supposed to be cheaper than meat. No wonder about the obesity. Only in united states where the poor are overweight. that's mind boggling.
I meant ditto to #12 Gothamistgal.
This is also a windfall for colonoscopy manufacturers...
googles words in above post and :::buys stock now::::
I have no sympathy for these Wall Street idiots. Hopefully eating at McDonalds will make their heart attacks come sooner.
Idiots is an understatement. Have you noted all those books written by these wall streets stars in their glory days are now dusting in the book shelves?
amazing, I agree with tvm.
I wish I could afford to eat at mcdonald's once a month.
it's considered a treat to us.
what I also hate are these soulless bastards advertising on TV on getting a home loan because it's a special alert.
the govt is giving you money etc etc.
Let them eat cake.
If spitting on someones onion rings was ever justifiable, this is it.
In the midst off all this bad news, we all needed a good laugh.
This can only lead to more reports of McDonalds employees jacking off into the Special Sauce.
There is no such thing as super size, much like Palestine.
I can get a similar healthy meal at Whole Foods for about the same price (or just a dollar or two more).
Think people! I rather pay a dollar extra for a healthy meal then a cheaper one (that can cause me problems in the future).
It looks like a recession is the great equalizer. How else would you see hood rats and fat cats congregating in the same watering hole?
stop bitching about whether mcdonald's or whole foods is healthier and make your own damned meal. it ain't that hard, kids.
$5.45 is cheap? Crikey. You can get a great sandwich for that price. One with vegetables on it.
sandwich yes. fries and a soda, now your talking 9 - 10 bucks. and it is.
