Gee I wonder if has anything to do with the fact that much of McDonald’s food is disgusting. And the other chains are offering some pretty good deals.
Trump tariffs are the scapegoat for everything now.
Prices have become ridiculous. Who wants to pay $8 to $11 for a meal that used to cost $3.50 before the pandemic? It’s cheaper to go to the local Chinese place and order two items, and you can put half of each in the refrigerator for tomorrow.
Anybody priced a bucket of 8 KFC pieces lately? I can get 4 whole roasters at the grocery store for the price of one “value” bucket. One other KFC gripe please, it seems like all their chickens are on crack diets. All skin and bones!
Cold limp fries, and small luke warm dried out beef patties covered in cold cheese placed in oversized buns served with a sometimes decent Coke. All for just $12 and 10 minute wait.
No the McD’s of my youth. But for the under 40 crowd it’s indistinguishable from the school lunches they grew up on. Especially the nuggets.
That is true. Only the value meals make sense. I go to Carl’s Jr. as well because it truly is so much better.
Yeah, Mr D’s was real good. I think they got shoddy because of the tourist clientele right there. They have that tourist trap area sewed up and can get away with anything they like and there will still always be a line waiting...
“I can’t afford $20 for a hamburger and fries.”
I’ll absolutely never pay $20 for a Hamburger and Fries even if I could afford it. It is not the price, it is the principle...
Have you seen what they have for snacks & drinks in hospital vending machines? The hospital we were at yesterday didn’t have even one healthy choice.
I will do emails, because that is 20th century tech. I had an interesting thing happen at my last job though. I was the finance officer for a private college. One day I was talking to someone in admissions who said he had emailed me about an issue. I said I didn’t have an email. In fact, I didn’t a computer in my office. He didn’t understand, because everyone received one with the new computer system. Well, I asked my receptionist if she could find one for me. Well, she did and found 186 unanswered emails. I told her to delete everything, and each morning print me out a copy of whatever was new. I would then call or had write a reply at the bottom of what she had printed out for her to send.
Excellent! Very good. Force the rejection of it and noncompliance is the only way we are going to win this battle.
So McDonalds is now a person who gives interviews to news organizations? 🤣
Yeah, you pretty much HAVE to use the app if you don’t want to get screwed.
Culver’s.
Wisconsin based restaurant and has walleye as well as some other type of fish.
Never ordered anything else there. Always fish.
Some people dont like walleye. Thats their tuff tomatoes.
I dont know. I hate hospitals and try to stay to hell away from them.
Dont doubt you at all.
Pressures that our consumers are facing.
Yes here in California you pay entry level job to people $20,00 an hours might be a problem ya think.
Your of the menu list.
Closing stores due to crime and filth in cities like San Francisco.
It is McDonald’s which should be getting nervous about selling expensive fast food.
In Wisconsin, the buger meat is primarily from dairy cows. At least it used to be.
They actually have to add tallow to it so they can make the patties.
Many a old bessy went down to the slaughter house from dairy farms.
