Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices are going up due to inflation.

    Stopped going there when it was over $10 a meal. What the fuck? Plus, my orders wrong 60% of the time. Nope

      And it’s always wrong in the weirdest, someone-has-to-be-fucking-with-me ways. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin for breakfast the other day. I hate their cheese, so I ordered just sausage and egg.

      I opened the wrapper to my sandwich, and I had a sausage patty and 3 slices of cheese. It was rung up correctly, so I truly have no clue what was going on in the back.

      Everytime I go the order is either wrong or they need me to park by the door and my order isn’t ready for like 5-10 minutes. Completely negates the entire point of “fast food”.

      Only ever go there now if I need a coffee on the road.

          In Canada theirs is probably the best, so not sure if it’s different or we are just really screwed when it comes to coffee.

            McDonalds upped their coffee game in Canada to compete with Tim Hortons. If you cross the border into the US, you can get to enjoy McMud.

          My god it’s shite in the UK. £2 latte. It’s £1.50ish more to get a drinkable Costa or starbucks or Nero or whatever the fuck is around.

          On the flip side, one of the best ice coffee’s was McDonald’s in Malta.

          That “thing” was as far from a burger as culinary possible while still consisting of comparable ingredients.

          And it tasted like shit.

            Sounds like you just had a badly made one. Not all franchises are equal.

            A well made big Mac tastes good. There’s a reason it’s been around this long.

            Oh please. There’s nothing strange going on with how McDonald’s food is prepared. A Big Mac is bun, two salt and peppered beef patties, American cheese, onions, lettuce, pickles, and a sauce that is basically thousand island dressing. It tastes fine if you like the combination of ingredients.

      Haven’t eaten a meal there in a decade now. Go for ice cream like once every two years. Went this summer. $6 for 2 cones. Bruh. What!

      Was about to say this. The best way to handle this is break their economic projections.
