A McDonald’s outpost in Connecticut is being slammed for its “outrageous pricing” after a customer was charged more than $7 for an Egg McMuffin—and nearly $6 for a side of hash browns.
“$7.29 for one McDonald’s Egg McMuffin. What has the world come to??” New York-based Bespoke Investment Group wrote on X of the breakfast sandwich, also posting a photo of the stiff bill.(snip)
“These were 2 for $2 pretty recently,” the Bespoke account added in the X post, though the popular fast-food chain did away with that promotional offering in 2016.
In a subsequent post, the Bespoke account noted that a single side of hash browns — a famously slim-pressed oval of fried potatoes that fits into a small paper sheath — is priced at a staggering $5.69.
For reference, at McDonald’s in NYC’s notoriously-pricey Times Square, hash browns are $3.99, while an Egg McMuffin will set hungry patrons back $5.49.
Meanwhile, an Egg McMuffin meal at the Connecticut McDonald’s location in question, costs an eye-popping $17.63 for a small coffee, Egg McMuffin and hash browns, according to the outpost’s Uber Eats page.
Upgrades and add-ons like a larger-sized coffee, bacon strips and a “round egg” — which is what McDonald’s calls a fresh-cracked egg, rather than its scrambled liquid eggs — are also available for up to an additional $3.

At another rest stop in the affluent Darien, Conn. — located less than 20 miles from the Fairfield-based rest stop — social media users also gawked at McDonald’s menu prices after an X user shared that a Big Mac combo meal costs $18.
The Darien McDonald’s — located in a town where the median income is $250,000, according to census data — also charges $19 for a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Bacon meal

Don’t buy.
Sometime in the future extended Chinese families will run their own hamburger joints.
Who?
Hoo-too-moo!
I remember when a double cheeseburger was $1.
Eventually they went to a cheeseburger for $1.
I think I last paid $1.79 for a cheeseburger.
I paid $10 for a cheeseburger and a small fry. I was flabbergasted.
Gotta pay the fries guyz 20 bucks an hour if you want that 10 cent slab of shredded potatoes. Hey folks, with all the illegal aliens pouring in and being loaded with thousands of taxpayer dollars, IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. SUPPLY AND DEMAND AND ALL OF THESE FORMER SOCIALISTS SURE ARE SOME HUNGRY BASS TURDS. EVEN THE FOUR AND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDERS.

I thought about taking in a illegal family and turning them into White Nationalists.
We stopped going out when our cooking skills surpassed that of any local restaurant.
A plus is you don’t have to look at the employees with neck tattoos and bull rings.
Very unappetizing.
My favorite part of that link:
” Guillermo Moreno, Secretary of Commerce in the Kirchner government, reportedly forced McDonald’s to sell the Big Mac at an artificially low price to manipulate the country’s performance on the Big Mac index.”
The moral of the story is that when governments do not like what the numbers say, they will try to cheat.
I think we all know that, but this one is funny.
