That, maybe. But hear me out:
A Double Quarter Pounder meal is now roughly $11-12 dollars. They don’t put the prices on the menu half the time, and the people in the drive-through never give you the price. They just say “pull around.”
Maybe don’t run a shitty business that’s overpriced.
A couple of weeks ago I was moving to a new house. I woke up early to move a load of things, and on the way was a McDonald’s. I stopped in because it was convenient and got an Egg McMuffin with a hash brown and an OJ. It was $9. $9!
You can’t charge outrageous prices and then go, “Man, why aren’t people showing up?”
I can get a burger and fries from several local shops for less than McDonalds. The quality is better and there is more food in the bag.
Expensive and slow. I don’t mind waiting for the food to be cooked if it reduces waste, but the “restaurant” experience is now awful in the UK. Most of the offers on the app are for delivery only. Then have to wait alongside a queue of uber drivers with giant boxes.
I feel Mcdonalds have given up on the restaurant sit down experience. I believe they may end up with a subscription based home delivery service, where they don’t need to worry about front of house staff and can just send out like warm boxes while raising the monthly price. We seen what happened when Disney gave up everything and tried to go all in with Disney Plus.
Mcdonalds was never about quality, but a fun cheap fast place to grab a bite. It’s a shame because I do have some fun memories, yet another example of late stage capitalism.
Yep, any time I’ve been inside a Maccy’s since covid has been a long wait while countless delivery drivers walk past and pick up online orders. I’ve tried delivery and it’s been shit every time, lukewarm food with soggy fries. I don’t think their food is suited to delivery, IMO it’s only popular because of momentum.
Its insane to me people have fast food delivered… like if you gonna spend the money in high delivery feees, atleast order from good food places.
Keep up the good work, boycott all fascist american brands.
After McDonald’s dumbass trump stunt during the election, the only reason that I’ll ever go there again is to take a dump in their bathroom on a road trip.
I missed it, what’d they do during the election?
McDonald’s allowed trump to close a store down for a stupid photo op where trump pretended to work.
It was very “trump, he just like us!”
Trump was doing a McDonalds drive thru gig or something, idk was weird and dumb
There was talk about how Camilla was a McDonalds worker when she was young, compared to nepo asshole Drumph who never worked a day in his life. So he organized a photo shoot at a local McD’s with him wearing an apron and looking confused. The closed the McD’s for the occasion and only invited magats to use the drive through.
Elbows Up 🦾
America side, few working class can afford buying premade food. Preparing food at home, cooking, saves money. High odds this is working in conjunction with the buy European campaign.
My local restaurant’s hamburgers >>> that local hot-dog stand’s hamburgers >>> McDonalds
I can get a burger and fries from most places in my area for just a few bucks more. Totally worth it.
don’t think I’ve ever had a burger that was worse than the McDonald’s ones.
I’m baffled by why it’s it popular at all. their quality is the worse (or at the same level of other junk food franchises).
Drive thrus and brand recgonition
mcdonalds is currently a BDS target for their complicity in the “israeli” settler genocide on the Palestinian people
Why won’t people pay $15 for our meatboard burgers, cold fries, and a half hour in our pristine drive through?
Burn 5 dollars in gas idling in the lineup.
Don’t forget the clown in the pickup thats pissed because you wont rear end the car in front of you.
Oh well!! So sad.
/s
Costs the same as a sit down meal, low standards often tepid, virtue signalling vegan menu, deforestation contributions, we have Greggs for trash Panda food
“anti American”. Nah, it’s overpriced shit, that’s all. Love from Australia.
Yeah, I can get an actual pub burger for 3-5 more than a quarter pounder… and I don’t hate myself after it? Why should I go to McDonald’s?
I’ve been asking myself the same question lately. If Maccas is nearly the same price as an actually good burger, why not just get the good burger?
Exactly this. It was “fast food” where you didn’t expect greatness because it was cheap. Now it’s not at all cheap and crap anyway.
Yeah it was always cheap, fast, good… pick 2 (sometimes) now it’s fast or good, pick 1 (maybe).
Near me it’s none of the above, teenagers arent winning any races and I dont expect them to. $15 minimum for a meal, and $30 for my partner and I, so fuck it, might as well go to the local burger joint where it’s $36, feeds us both ,and I get a blue cheese and bacon burger for my trouble.
That’s the way nowadays… good gravy I remember scoffing at a $10 burger… now finding one that cheap is like a unicorn!
Without the sauce the patty just tastes like cardboard. ( Urm, not that I eat cardboard often. )
I have never understood people’s weird obsession with going to Macca’s at the end of a night out, instead of the obviously better choice of literally any local kebab shop run by whoever
Oh God in my younger years ( a long long time ago ) after a nightclub in North West England I would hit the kebab shop and my mates would go for KFC. To this day I don’t bother with that greasy stuff unless it’s bought for me say at work or similar.
McDonald’s is a real estate business, that just happens to specialize in generic burgers as a brand. It isn’t a surprise that the company doesn’t care about a quality dining experience, when repairing icecream machines was a money maker for them.
