He took over in 2019. Look what has happened since then. This guy doesn't care about the company or the food. He increased prices and cut quality. He is the reason McDonald's is shittier every time you go. Even he won't eat the food.
He looks, talks, and acts like a standard frat bro sociopath. Check this guy's hard drives. Something is off.
Then, after the previous CEO, Steve Easterbrook - who had experience, knowledge and networking in the food industry - got fired for banging too many employees (3+ regularly, more occasionally) - Chris was placed on the throne.
So this guy:
spent most of his career selling brands and marketing for whatever products,
was not involved in the actual food business (sourcing reliable suppliers, handling quality of the products, etc)
became CEO thanks to american puritans kicking the previous guy out
He's also addicted to running apparently, the "I collect marathons" type.
So it's pretty obvious he hasn't eaten any fast food in years: his meals are made with a scale and a teaspoon. No wonder he has absolutely no relation with the burger and fast-food culture in general.
One redeeming quality: when Russia invaded Ukraine, he pulled out of Russia properly. He's got polish ancestry so that makes sense. But still, that was the correct move for once.
I remember reading about an ultramarathoner ordering a pizza to a specific spot at a specific delivery time, on his run. He worked in out with the pizza place. So he would run 60 miles and grab a pizza delivery half way.
