Their food started being so insanely priced that they made a post that was the equivalent of corporate propaganda back in 2024. This was disproven again and again and again.
Their greed has been hurting them because no one wants to pay the insane prices for shit food. They stopped competing with budget fast food, coming closer to fast casual. Like, if I’m gonna spend that cash, I might as well go to Five Guys or Red Robin.
I noticed similar drastic price increases at Little Caesars. $30 for two pizzas and a breadstick combo is insane especially since they use the worst ingredients and let their pizzas sit around all day. Dominos is actually cheaper in my area, why the hell would I ever go to Little Caesars?
$30 completely defeats the purpose of Little Caesar’s…
Good. Still can’t bring myself to eat their shit food after one of their workers ratted on Luigi.
I really don’t see how one has anything to do w/ the other.
I avoid McDonalds because their food sucks. Full stop.
Charges $3.50 for a fucking mcdouble
“why are we losing customers? what about my yacht for this month?”
That’s about $1.50 in 1990 dollars. The problem isn’t the price point, it’s that income to buy these things hasn’t kept up. Quality is a better argument, they certainly give less compared to what we could buy, regardless of cost. The only thing they have going for them is being everywhere and recognizable.
…but a double cheeseburger used to be 99 cents, up until the late 00s; like basically until 2010 where I live. A mcdouble was this ‘you can still get two patties for a buck’ idea but with the removal of one slice of cheese. The fact that it’s trajectory is now headed for $4+ in 15 years, or 400%, is a problem. And the quality has fallen, yeah - the shit my folks talked about, I’ve lived long enough to see it firsthand. McD used to be my go-to restaurant for 20+ years, but now, it’s when it is the only place open.
I mean the income stagnantation is a problem yes, but holy fuck so is the price. I remember going on dates in the 2010s (their restaurant choice :p) and they’d order a ‘mcgangbang’, or two mcdoubles, a spicy mcchicken, and add a large drink, for $4. You can get just one of those items now for that price. That’s insane.
