McD has priced itself almost completely outside of its core patronage constituency....families

the dollar menu is GONE
the prices on the (mostly quite tiny) burgers are doubled
the kiddie packs (whatever they were called, the boxes with grub and a toy inside) are GONE
the kiddie playlands are GONE

so who is gonna spend $12 or $15 on a little low-quality burger, fries, and soda? The people who can afford this are mostly not people who want to eat McD grub in the first place

just saying, the company’s marketing focus used to be quite effective and now they’ve flushed it down the toilet

I sure wouldn’t buy any McD stock

Agreed. I used to basically complain that it was cheaper to feed the family McD than to grocery shop something more healthy.

McD abandoned families/children long ago

Look at their marketing these days

Nearly all urban and black focused.

I can go to a local restaurant and get a nice, big burger loaded with toppings and steak fries for $10 at lunch or $12 for dinner and get curb side service. Why would I spend that much for a see through MickeyD’s rendering of a hamburger.

If I am hard put and have to each fast food I prefer the Wendys $5 biggie bag.
