They can’t grow anymore, so they had to ramp up the prices to continue to please shareholders.
Next will be a certain decline in quality, like more air in bread (“fluffier bread”) and nuggets and more water in the meat (“juicier”) and shakes, maybe they’ll even remove the free refill stuff.
There’s already a noticeable drop in quality. I bought a big Mac meal recently for the first time in a while, the fries were like toothpicks, and the large fries seemed much smaller than I recall.
The burger had the tiniest dollop of sauce and the patties were so thin they barely held their shape.
I know it’s all purely anecdotal, but for years I was hooked on their hash browns until they changed the recipe… And now I can’t stand them but at least I’m losing weight so that’s good haha
shakes
Lol, McDonald’s doesn’t have shakes. Sure, it’s on the menu, but you need ice cream for shakes, and the ice cream machine is broken
Its 18 dollars for a combo meal the local McD’s right now. Across the street is a Puerto Rican place, where I can get a steak sandwich for $21 (or shrimp for $20, or chicken for $18) and it comes with a side of gandules rice or tostones.
Its not that complicated.
Someone had posted recently the price inflation of different fast food chains and if I am not wrong McDonald’s was having one of the steepest price hikes. So hardly surprising.
good, I hope the trend continues. I’ve been doing my part for years and years
