What happened: Following the closure of more than 800 McDonald’s outlets in Russia, they are now attempting to sell Big Macs and other McDonald’s items online with enormous markups as one McDonald’s customer in Moscow advertised a Big Mac for sale for around £27.50 (around $36). In Russia, a Big Mac would cost around 135 roubles (around £1/$1) on average. Details: McDonald’s has announced a temporary shutdown of its restaurants in Russia, citing the “unspeakable suffering of innocent people” in Ukraine as the reason. “The conflict in Ukraine and the humanitarian situation in Europe has caused indescribable pain to innocent people,” CEO Chris Kempczinski wrote in an email that was shared on Twitter. There are “several aspects” to consider, according to the CEO, including the 62,000 Russian employees who will ‘continue to get their salary.’ What else: A classified ad showed that for roughly £13.81 ($18), you could get a McDonald’s breakfast which included McMuffins, potato pancakes, and several sauces. This ad was subsequently removed, indicating that the vendor has either found a buyer or changed his mind. Someone else was trying to sell a McDonald’s package for nearly £400 ($520) – the ad didn’t say what was in the bag, but it did say it was of ‘excellent quality.’
