last time i went to mcdonalds it was to pick up food for my parents who were both sick and that's what they requested for some reason. it was almost comical what a fucking shitshow that place has become. i waited like 20 minutes for 2 combo meals which came out to ~$30.
they can blame everything but themselves all they want, but as it turns out, if you're neither cheap NOR good NOR fast, then people aren't going to buy your shit, regardless of how they feel about america
Question is why your parents asked.
…It’s habit, I guess? Like, I am legitimately curious what their motivation was in that instance. Why do people specifically seek out McDonalds?
Regardless of whether you like the food, the draw is usually that it's consistent and familiar.
The paste is consistent.
The paste is familiar.
Makes sense. Kinda like how Usain Bolt (IIRC) ate McNuggets before a big race because they’re known and safe.
no idea. i offered to bring real food but they insisted 🤷♂️
Maybe, they didn't want to put you out? "just grab us something easy. Theres a McDs on the corner."
i shouldn't have listened. they're getting real food anyway next time lol
From where i am. Eating at fast food restaurant used to meant cheap and fast food. Now, it cost more than eating at local restaurant. No shit the sales decline. What a fucking moron.
Full lunch in a local place with soup, bread, drink, hot dish (menu, 3-4 choices), coffee: 8€.
McMenu with big Mac (the medium one): 7.65€
I mean...
Edit: I meant that McDonald's is stupid expensive for the kind of crap they serve, and for the same amount of money you can eat a lot more and a lot better in many, many places.
I dont know where you are from but that is not the case from where i am. I can get two people dish with one set of mcd menu.
Just for the argument sake. From where i am. Bigmac, fries and soda (medium) cost $4.50. I can get a local burger and a soda like $2.00.
Anti American sentiment seems pretty justified tbh
I feel for the employees. But fast food needs to end. As an American.
Keep up the good work folks
All of it fast or sit down is a ripoff since covid ended in Canada.
McDicks is no exception. So them being American on top of that makes this the obvious outcome.
If I want to pay out the ass for a shitty burger while stoned, I'll go to A&W. Oh and I doooo haha.
Oh no.
It's not the shitty conditions and pay for the workers, not the shitty food, not the quadrupled prices, not the open support of fascists... must be 'anti-american sentiment abroad'.
They may complain with the government about the anti American mood, but something tells me they won't
