    It’s probably a franchisee who isn’t a billionaire. More than likely you’re stealing from someone who only has tens of millions.

    (I think it’s 2-3 million to start a fast food joint.)

      I do believe McDonald’s pays back their franchisee for promos like this, they’re essentially “Manufacturers coupons” (When you use a manufacturer coupon, the retailer can reclaim their cost of the merchandise with them)
