Maybe they’ll change the Big Mac. “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, a twenty dollar gold piece on a sesame seed bun.”
I once threw down a half eaten McWhopper and my German Shepherd walked over, sniffed it and walked away.
And $11,400 more per annum needed to buy stuff.
Ain't Bidenonics wonderful?
Between the increased costs of ingredient, insurance, electricity, etc. and state mandated $15/hour wages - that’s what you get.
So now that McD is unaffordable, people will be pushing for a $20 minimum wage - wash, rinse, repeat.
Selling a $0.25 burger for $16 ...
That's funny. Now what did the dog do to earn that kinda punishment anyway.
Just this week I learned...
Shop rate just increased $400 per month
Obamacare raising rates $200 per month
Material supplier increased prices for steel and aluminum near double
Welding gases up double
Hazmat hauler (cutting fluids and other wastes) up double
Electric another 7%
Still paying $5 a gallon for diesel.
Can I move to New York and get put up in a luxury hotel and have all my needs paid for by taxpaying chumps like me?
But voters did not like mean tweets and insults. Biden does not do mean tweets.
That’s why its called a value meal.
A filthy country filled with low-rent people with a broken economy doesn’t just grow on trees you know. Somebody’s got to pay for it.
$16 sounds reasonable...
for four kids.
On my McDonald's app, a double bacon quarter pounder large meal is $11.19, so he paid $4 more for the "Smokey BLT" part.
10 years ago excluding tax you could get 16 double cheeseburgers for $16.00
What’s a McWhopper? Are you conflating the Big Mac at McDonald’s, with the Whopper at Burger King?
“So now that McD is unaffordable, people will be pushing for a $20 minimum wage - wash, rinse, repeat.”
I’m a low-end landlord. Several of my renters have a hard time making the rent. But they eat out constantly, have full cable, music services, etc. I, on the other hand, will pack a lunch, make much of my own food and generally plan my trips so I can buy gas at the lowest price. The fact that some people can’t make it on their income is often their own fault.
What the article isn’t telling us is that this is the new McCrispy burger. A four pound patty with chocolate syrup whipped cream and M&M’s,all between 4 buttery pancakes.
1965 McDonald's ad
I just paid $11 dollars at a local diner for a salmon-burger (Nativity Fast), fries, a small salad, and a cup of coffee—MUCH better quality than McDonalds!! Better atmosphere, too!
McDonalds is scamming us, in collusion with the biden/obama government!!
Cursory review of the internet shows that 52 cents in 1965 corresponds to $5.08 today.
It sounds like McDonald’s prices have gone up adjusted for inflation.
Then again minimum wage increases in many places in America have escalated quite a bit. I’m sure that has impacted pricing.
