About 5 years ago, I got so sick of eating McDonalds that to this day I still cannot eat the food.
Lots of people are probably like this.
A lot of things on the old dollar menu went up 30%+ in price.
It won’t be long before the Dollar Store has to change it’s name to the $1.50 store.
Government Benefit Cards probably account for nearly 50%; if fast food resturtants quit accepting welfare food card payments, their sales would crash.
Americans go to this place for burgers and fries.
But they have caved to Moochelle and the lefty whiners.
From the décor and signage on my local McD, you’d think it was some sort of a Farmers’ Market that sold upscale Yuppie coffees.
A co-worker went to the drivethru last week, ordered 20 egg mcmuffins to bring for a casual office meeting “treat”. He just put the bag on the counter in the break room. Later, it was determined that he only received 10 of the sandwiches. He went back with his receipt, asked for a refund, and they told him no, he was out of luck. Basically they said it was his problem for not checking the bag they handed him, before driving away. He was going to figure out the owner of the place and call them.
1. They changed their coffee. I called them about it and corporate says they didn’t change. They did, and it sucks now.
2. Too many menu options. None of their new stuff is good.
If everyone is a part-time worker, then McDonalds better be charging part-time prices. 5.50 for a big mac combo means a family of four rings up at 22 bucks. That’s 3 hours of work for a part-time, minimum wage worker, and if he’s getting 30 hours a week, that’s 10% of what he makes at that particular part-time job.
Well, this won’t be a PC opinion, but... could part of this be because McD’s has become the “minority” fast food option? All their marketing seems targeted to “urban youth” and Hispanics.
That, and - there are just so many alternatives, esp. if you want something semi-healthy (or rather, “non-fast-food-ish”?). I’ve been saying for a while now that McD’s days at the top are numbered. My kids and their friends rarely want McD’s. They’d rather have Chick-Fil-A or 5 Guys.
Of course it was inevitable fast food chains would suffer.
I won’t pay more than a dollar for pink slime.
The egg-white mcmuffin is delicious, and they upgraded the coffee awhile back. And our local McDonalds has started staffing the drive up window with people who are native English speakers. Sorry to see their profitability drop just when they are actually improving their restaurant.
make the burgers non-barfing
and
i will buy some
Well, I think that is just it. Not much is left on the dollar menu.
You couldn’t pay me to eat McDonald’s garbage..
If most people knew how many illegals that places hires, they’d never step foot in one again.
or when the Dollar menu is now $1.19 and smaller items to boot
has always been crappy and has become too expensive.
Jack in the Box is better.
Better value better food.
Gee, maybe if they offered a big juicy flame-broiled burger without a lot a hideous crap on it.
