I live in a small town and the only garbage that i see around are McDonald’s bags and drinkt that get thrown on the side of the road. I think it’s a special kind of people that eats at McDonald’s, and they don’t care about quality, prices and the mystery shit they eat.
Poor people? I pay 9.95 euros for fries and meat at my snackbar. I just checked in their app and I’d have to pay around about the same (depending on what meat option I pick) to have less fries and worse quality meat.
For the McDonalds I’d have to drive there, for the local option I could walk there faster than driving to the McD.
It’s cheaper to boil a pot of pasta or make your own burger, hell, it’s cheaper to go to other restaurants. People aren’t going to McDonald’s because they are poor.
Poor people work a lot so they need readymade food and historically McDonald’s was cheap readymade food. I’m flat broke right now until payday and making my own food out of what I have in the pantry is consuming a lot of my time between shifts
I hear the argument a lot that yes, McDonald’s is bad, but it feeds poor people. That is such a lie. Even if McDonald’s were half the price, it wouldn’t beat rice and beans for example. If you have to feed 4 people at McDonald’s where i live, that’s 4 menus, equals 80 dollars. Even if you’d half that, you vould coock for them for a week if you really want to, and it’s not shit ass McDonald’s food.
