This is how I know you didn’t read the article.

BK did cut the supply chain logistics. It’s mentioned in the article.

Sue the franchisees? Where? In Russia? In the middle of an economic war with the west? Even if the suit proceeded for some reason, who do you expect the court to rule in favor of?

BK did everything to severe ties. The only thing that remains is to sell their share of the franchise. If they sell now (even if they find a buyer), they likely won’t be paid in anything other than rubles which is useless.

So what is burger king doing wrong here?"

Edit: At least 10 people didn’t read the fucking article, BK did cut the supply line. This place is just like Reddit, all hurr durr without reading the article.

but they will have to rebrand and be less lucrative.

And what do you do if those Russian franchise owners refuse to rebrand and continue using the BK name, supplies and signage?

Do you stop providing logistical support? Do you cut them off the BK supply chain (shut that down too) and not provide any new menu items / marketing materials?

Has BK done that?

My HL2270DW has been working flawlessly for nearly 10 years now.

Connects to any PC/mac on my home network. Always prints correctly. Toners are dirt cheap

Is OP using a 1998 cannon printer or something?

He’s right, most people don’t install an OS. They use whatever it comes with.

You simply cant win. People make fun of Xbox fand Windows for having non sequential names, and iPhone gets berated for having a naming scheme that’s sensical, easy to follow and date

This is not sad. Progress is progress.

Good on EU to force their hand, we should be cheering for regulatory agencies making life better for consumers.
