McDonald’s breakfast is somewhat edible, anything else is terrible (including their fries).

McD’s is not cheap anymore, so naturally low income consumers are disappearing.

Customers aren’t “getting nervous”, they are now more discerning and interested in value shopping, and $15 for a McDonalds meal isn’t a value meal.

Rarely when we go to a fast food place we go to Carls Jr.

Way better burgers. But that depends on the staff also.

McDonalds priced themselves right out of business.

The Canadian Bacon is now sliced much thinner. You can read the first three lines of an eye doctor's wall chart through it.

I wonder what the distribution of their customer base is by race and political party.

Wendy’s 2 for $3 breakfast is a pretty good deal. The free drinks (hot and cold) for 60+ is also excellent.

We still eat out, but quit McDonalds because their prices got so high. Cheaper for us to go to small family owned cafes. We have a lot more choices and prices are better.

I blame it on the tariffs.

maybe its because of some of the clientele that frequent these places.

Well, duh! They’ve raised most of their prices through the roof.

McDonald's problems go back to 2013.

I’m sure paying ten bucks for a big mac isn’t helping either.

Wow. They anticipated the tariffs in 2017. McDonald’s forecasters are A-1. Replace it with non-Canadian bacon, and the product and tariffs will improve.

A couple local restaurants/bars have way better and bigger burgers for about the cost of a Big Mac

A quarter Pounder, fries, and a pop set me back nearly $11 last week. It’s not the deal it used to be.
