“Popcorn time”
Sadly, the CA government is immune from consequences. CA is a one party state, so the communist Dems are safe. If what the Dems do causes the CA economy to collapse, the feds, (taxpayers), will bail them out.
And soda is their big money maker since it’s so cheap to make. A gallon of syrup and carbonated water.
Fill the cup at least half way with ice and it goes even further.
I remember how filling the 20-piece was back in the day. We have become such gluttons!
The complaint here seems to be twofold: (1) $25 for 40 McNuggets and 2 large fries; (2) the lack of an included beverage.
Asa McD customer, I see a couple flaws in the logic here...
(1) The 10 piece McNugget order has long run $4.99, so at that rate 40 McNuggets would be $19.96. Two large fries for $5.04? Not terrible. This isn’t a great “deal,” but it’s not out of line as per McDonald’s regular pricing.
(2) You want a soda too? Unless you’re Chris Christie, 40 McNuggets and 2 large fries isn’t an individual “meal.” This is a “family pack” for like 6 people. Throwing in 1 soda for a half-dozen people to share would be silly.
They need to raise the minimum wage again so people can afford to eat at McDonald’s. Rinse and repeat.

Or the old stand by a Pepsi and a bag of peanuts.
“$25 for a 40-piece Chicken McNugget meal...”
Is that even chicken?
How long until McDonalds issues their own credit card so folks can enjoy fast food?
Wonder what an Egg McMuffin, hash browns and a small coffee is gonna cost?
It is very enjoyable watching leftists having to live with the impacts of their stupid politics.
Well 40 pieces McNuggets and two fries was NEVER cheap.. The price of a 40 piece McNugget alone where I live $15.50 plus tax, and Fries are about 3.50 each for a medium... so
that’s 19.00 plus tax for that here in PA... there is no Meal Option, so meal might knock a buck or two off of it if they offered that.
Honestly would expect a 40 piece with 2 fries to be around $25 in California even before the age hike. I lived in the bay area back in 2000/2001 and the prices differential vs PA was easily 50% or more.. So, while I have no doubt prices have risen from the $20 an hour min wage, I am hard pressed to believe that this 40 piece meal deal was much less that $25 before the pay hikes.
$25.00? Wow! You can go to a real restaurant and have a great lunch for that ... AND get better service!
California and McDonalds, two entities that deserve one another.
My money says they will.
Love Foster Freeze - two of them have closed that I know of b/c of $20 minimum wage.
Locally in Phoenix, AZ McDonald’s is running a 20 for $6 special.
Their value drinks are actually not bad compared to the competition ($1.50 vs. $2.50 at most others, although Wendy’s has free senior soft drinks).
McD isn’t even real food. No one should eat that garbage. Ever.
This is all about killing the fast-food industry. Higher prices will lower demand in CA. The fast food industry will raise prices across the nation to subsidize CA stores. And other states will follow suit with min. wage hikes soon, also.
I used to love Big Macs....no more.
Used to be in recent times you could get lunch for 5 BUCKS!
GONE are the days of the 15c hamburger.
Believe it or not, this could be the beginning of the end for all fast food restaurants.
As it could be for Big Box stores.
The degradation of society is destroying our country.
Who can afford popcorn popped by a $20/hr middle school dropout?
