I went to a Five Guys restaurant yesterday for the first time. $23 for a hamburger french fries and a drink.

Not affordable and actually always terrible.

Five Guys, pretty good burger, but not that good!

Gee, I have an idea. How about making your own damn meals at home.

I was at Burger King 3 days ago, for the first time in 6 months. Bacon Burger, medium fries and drink for $12.49. Rural Western Oregon.

Expensive, but not like the other prices mentioned here.

The same stupid fans can't put two and two together.

Higher "business" taxes and minimum wage = GOVERNMENT-FORCED HIGHER PRICES!!!

Quit voting for the Totalitarian Left.

I have grandkids. I went to McDonalds and the order came to $32 plus. No offense to any great American business, but at that rate, I can buy four steaks and throw them on the grill. And that is what I do now.

Far be it for McDonald’s to decrease their profit margin. (awaiting that FReeper who pushes free enterprise, to the detriment of the rest of us, to chew me out.)

Yet another wonderful consequence of Bidenomics.

But fear not, fast-food fans. Our globalist masters want to replace beef on hamburgers with ground-up insects. That should drive down prices at least a little.

Don’t blame McDonalds...

Thank the run away inflation caused by government spending
(and aggravated by everything joe does)

Get the app and use the deals like me or else you’re paying for my discounts. Until then, thank you. Also, use the app or the kiosks if you want service as McD’s doesn’t even man the registers anymore. You’re welcome.

And at some point, government-forced higher “business” taxes and minimum wage will mean much fewer or no more McDonald’s outlets at all. So instead of whining like a little baby because of price, you’ll whine like a little baby because you won’t have any McDonald’s burgers at all to complain about.

Stupid.

It was always crap. The only virtue was cheap. And that was a very long time ago.

"Beloved" is pure marketing BS.

The thought of that just bugs me.
