“yes the cost of eating at McD’s is way too high for the product you get.”
As long as the sausage biscuit is $1 it is a bargain; 7-11 offers the same, but McD’s tastes better. Just don’t buy a drink...
The $1 menus are the only thing keeping these places open as far as I can see.
yes that item is a fair price. (the number of McD items at fair prices has shrunk, however)
the fries are not nearly as good as prior.
but the coffee has gotten better.
my biggest problem with McD is that it causes me to barf it right back up. i think it must be one of their famous chemical additives? I do not barf up BurgerKing (and I did not barf up McD’s years ago...).
my second biggest problem with McD (if I needed another one, ha!) is that their prices on most of their stuff have just gone up too high, it isn’t worth it anymore
The problem is that the $1 items were designed as add on loss-leaders for the pricier options. But people stuck to the dollar items forcing them to figure out ways to reduce costs on them. Which is why they shaved the double cheeseburger down to a “McDouble”, got rid of the nuggets and ultimately jacked some of the items up by 20 cents or so.
Local McDs here has been running a $1.99 Happy Meal special for a couple months now. Clearly designed to get parents to come in with their kids and buy higher margin items for themselves. But in the last couple weeks I’ve noticed that they are providing a small (vice kids size) soda and then doing a 10 cent upcharge.
