Don’t do McD’s anymore — ever since NOT USING their app costs me 30% more !!

Are you listening McD ?

Was it ever worth it?

When Ray Kroc was still alive.

In 1964 I could get a cheeseburger, fries and a coke for 35-40 cents, IIRC. Of course I was only making a dollar an hour. I worked at McDonalds.

Was it ever worth it in what way?

The food has always been so called junk food , so if you’re looking for something nutritious , it was never worth it.

Went to Burger King recently after many years (6-7?) certainly pre-covid

$5 dollar Whopper meal

Whopper was dry and a little tough. Bun was very starchy. Overall much smaller than I remember.

Clearly, BK’s customers can’t afford the “old whopper” which would need a much higher price - so BK had to cheapen it, badly

Me thinks there may come a tipping point. I’ve already reached mine.

Those were the days, my friend…

Our first McDonalds in Ithaca, NY looked just like that back around 1960.

Top 20% of income families are doing fine. Bottom 40% are getting increasingly squeezed. The middle is getting smaller and fragmenting towards either end of the spectrum.

I remember the day when it was a hamburger, small fries, small drink and change back from your dollar.

No McD’s meal is worth $15 or more.

One thing these ridiculously high prices have done is cure me of my fast food addiction. I have been done with all fast food, cold turkey done. Thank you inflation.
