Russians can no longer go to McDonald’s, since the fast food chain announced on Tuesday that it is closing 850 restaurants in Russia following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to CEO Chris Kempczinski, that was “a difficult decision, but it is impossible to ignore the human suffering of the Ukrainians”.
In response, Russians started to stock up on burgers en masse this week. For example, a user on Reddit posted a photo of a refrigerator filled to the brim with burgers. There is little room left for other groceries. “It looks like a party at the White House,” one person jokes in the comments.
“The burgers offer business opportunities,” commented another. And the latter, more Russians see. In addition to the overflowing refrigerators, the burgers are also offered for a fortune on the Russian auction site Avito (similar to eBay). A menu with two burgers, two drinks and a cherry pie is offered for 7,500 Russian rubles (50.28 euros). The buyer has to pick up the meal, which was purchased on March 9, in Moscow.
