That's all true. But McDonald's has like 3 items I love and I can't help it. Their breakfast burrito and steak and egg bagel, and for lunch the big Mac and nuggets. I try not to eat there too often because it's terrible for you and expensive, but I'd be lying if I said I didnt enjoy it

I’m literally at a mcd right now at 6:30 AM. It stays in business because it’s quick convenient, somewhat cheap (I know it’s more expensive now but it’s still cheap in comparison to other places) and open 24 hours at some location. This place has a bunch of people eating inside and a ton ordering at drive thru.

waffle house is a better value.

[-]

DonnieMoistX@reddit

That’s nonsense. Waffle House is one of the most overpriced establishments

[-]

greedybanker3@reddit

its 5$ for an entire plate of food!

[-]

DonnieMoistX@reddit

Don’t know what Waffle House you’re going to but it’s not the way anywhere I’ve ever been. $8 minimum for a meal at WH

McDonalds breakfast is amazing. The other items are good too, and you're coping if you disagree. I usually just grab McDonalds when I travel, since it is everywhere and will be the best thing around.

McDonalds is alive because of people who finish work at 3am.

Putting freezer patties or nugs in the oven and on a bun takes maybe 1 minute of active work.

[-]

OldThrashbarg2000@reddit

I agree with you, and McDonald's sales in the US have been declining recently (with a very slight recent rebound that didn't make up for the decline). It's a shitty value nowadays, and that's sinking in for more and more people.

DominoUB@reddit

I do. McDonalds isn't a restaurant, it's a brand and franchise. Each store is individually owned and operated and they pay McDonalds a fee to use their name and products. There's 40.000 franchisees.

For the restaurants themselves, There's people who eat at McDonalds multiple times per week, some, every day. For the rest, McDonalds is quick and tasty, and convenient since there's a McDonalds literally everywhere.

For me though, McDonalds prices have gone up so much, that they are on par with significantly better options. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in about 6 months and I only went then because everything else was closed.

this doesn’t make any fucking sense. You can literally get a mcchicken, drink, 4 piece nugget and small fry for $5 with their $5 meal deal. If you pay 29 cents more for just the sandwich, you’re retarded and deserve to be scammed

[-]

oby100@reddit

It’s a scam. Why do I need to order a ton of food to not get totally ripped off? I want one mcchicken at a reasonable price. I don’t need all that other shit.

This shit didn’t exist much 15 years ago. The dollar menu was the dollar menu. You didn’t need to order a bunch of random bullshit to get a somewhat reasonable value.

[-]

Even_Serve7918@reddit

The food tastes like actual cardboard, and it’s horrible chemical garbage. If you eat it at all, you deserve to be scammed.

Like I’m all for eating delicious junk sometimes, and I love some fried food or something smothered in cheese and butter, but nothing mass-produced by an assembly line is delicious. It always legitimately just tastes like chemicals with a lot of sugar, salt, and cheap, synthetic-tasting oil on it to mask how bad it tastes.

That goes for the big fast food chains, all the stuff like Oreos and Ruffles and Ho-Hos, and places like IHOP, Dennys, Applebees, etc.

[-]

RoesDeadLMAO@reddit

Saying McDonald’s tastes bad is insane virtue signaling cope. You can say it’s unhealthy, you can say it’s chemical slop, you can say it’s not even real food. But everyone agrees that it tastes good, especially for the price when u get the value meal

[-]

Even_Serve7918@reddit

It tastes bad. Like legitimately tastes bad. I’m not sure what else to say. And I’m not even a health freak. I love Brie and filet mignon slathered in butter and pasta with Parmesan and all that good stuff. I just find it tastes disgusting. Like a microwaved frozen meal.

On morning I went and the guy in front of me got one Sausage McMuffin with Egg for $5.29 instead of getting two for $5.

He said he wasn't hungry enough for two....

vigoroiscool123@reddit

I used to get a whole fucking meal for $3 at McDonald’s when I was in college. This was like 6-7 years ago.

[-]

Xektor@reddit

Cheeseburgers and chickenburgers went from 1 € to 2.50€

You buy a mc rib single it costs like 7 Euro. I can eat a mc rib in like 20 seconds.

Can get a huge doener for 7 €

Everything is like this now. I used to be able to get a sub a bottle of water and a bag of chips at Subway on my lunch break for $6.75. 15 years later it’s $21 for the exact same thing. Water is $2.50. The sub is $13. The chips $3. Then the taxes. Then they stand there looking like I’m a dick for not tipping.

[-]

brisket_billy_@reddit

Do you people not even think to look for coupons? Subway has had a coupon for an $8 footlong meal for years.

[-]

MrCrix@reddit

I’m in Canada and most places are “not participating restaurants” in coupons. They had a deal for 2 subs for $16. I couldn’t find a single Subway that honored it.

[-]

8last@reddit

Mcdonalds has been in a steady decline for about 10 years. They've had a couple years recently where they've closed more locations than they opened. For like 40 years straight that had never hapoened. End of era. Every 5 years you can expect a marked shittiness than the 5 before it. These high prices are like violent death throes from a dying mega giant.

[-]

the_glengarry_leads@reddit

fast food has the same pricing strategies as hotels and airlines now. The effective prices are MUCH lower if you use the app (are a loyalty plan customer whoring your data to them).

(The McDouble has Nature's Perfect Macros and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't)

[-]

B4S1L3US@reddit

That’s a McChicken, not a chicken burger. These were never $1.

[-]

That_Is_My_Band_Name@reddit

Yes they were.

AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit

Fast food prices have fallen. Billions must dine.

Erm, actually the prices have risen ☝️🤓

They charge that much because they know people will pay it. People will complain but buy it anyway because of the convenience of the whole thing

10 years ago we had the "Day Special"

19.90 BRL got you the days mcmeal. I just remember Wednesday was the Big Mac, Thursday the Cheddar McMelt and Friday the Quarter Pounder with cheese.

Now those all go for 34.90 BRL while they announced this week the "Savings Meal" for 19.90 with a mcmeal that consists of cheeseburger, small soda (no refill), small fries and your choice of a ice cream, 4 nuggies or the apple/banana pie.
