Reason 21 why I won't be going there.

So you don't like Spanish Speaking People, Reason #21.

I guess you are staying away from fine Mexican Restaurants too. Reason #21.

Had to take the wife to ER yesterday. She's ok but we stayed until midnight and we were starving. The only place open was McDonalds so I swung in and ordered a Big Mac Combo. FOURTEEN BUCKS for a regular size burger fries and drink! WooHoo let's hear it for the Biden/Harris Economy! No wonder half of Americans run out of money by the end of the month.

Annnnd the Big Mac is tiny compared to its forefathers.

 

[justoffal]

Why is it 14 there and less than 8 here?

How is that the Dems fault?

How is that Biden's fault?

How much should it cost, in your opinion?

The hydrocarbon bomb....

Some McDonald's serve the Double-beef Big Mac now.
But yes, the regular Big Mac is much smaller in size than it once was.

Better yet, run screaming away from McD's and eat real food.

Its rare when I go there

Reason 21 why I won't be going there.

It's ironic to see this thread today.

It's been a dog's age since I've been to a McDonalds, but yesterday I went to bed early. Basically just closed my laptop and laid down, so skipped supper.

So for whatever reason this morning I had a taste for a sausage biscuit with cheese. And it's only a few minutes down the road so went to get one.

I wondered why it was only two dollars and some change, but when I got out to my car I noticed that they only gave me a piece of sausage in a little box without the biscuit and the cheese.

I suppose I could have used one of those kiosks they've installed, so that there's a better chance that the order would be correct, but I'm not touching those screens. I never do.


I have my reasons why...

No actually I have no issue with Mexican people. But I have an issue with adults speaking a foreign language working a job here intended as starter jobs for kids to earn money while in school working it expecting a living wage by jacking up the cost of my food by 60%.

 

[MarathonMike]

Why are you complaining? You already said it was an emergency and you don't eat there very often anyway, so fourteen dollars for a delicious meal is not something you will indulge in very often.

Try to skip a meal to make up for that $14, it might prevent another trip to the ER.

That was an atypically stupid post from you.

Yeah, those nasty proles should be working for free. That woy you would have saved 40 cents or so. lol

And, they aren't 'starter jobs' any more, they're the majority of jobs that have been created for the last few decades.

As for McDonald's, I got a breakfast there last week, their 'Big Breakfast', a large soft drink at $1.79, for about $8 with tax, which is still cheap especially relative to 1970 dollars, a lot cheaper than 1970 prices; works out to about 27 cents in 1970 dollars.

A few miles down the road I go to a regular diner. A large omelet with hash browns, toast, and a big glass of tea runs about $17 with a $3 tip, still not bad at all, about 56 cents in 1970 dollars. Stuff is a lot cheaper now than it was back then.

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

According to the prices listed on the old-school menu, a Big Mac was $2.45, a Big Mac meal was $4.59, a six-piece McNuggets cost $2.35, a Happy Meal cost $3.36, and an egg McMuffin was $1.95. 1990s

Yeah, many things were different 25 years ago~

 

[DudleySmith]

It isn't wages that are jacking up food prices. Just a fact some don't like to admit, because it doesn't shoe horn itself into some ideological nonsense or other.

Teabaggers are always blaming the "gubmint" for corporations ripping them off.
Any sensible person would have walked away, if they were that pissed.
Did you even look at the menu?
They do tell you how much your order is before they get your food.

 

[Care4all]

you got ripped off. I can get the same thing here for under 10

It's $11 here for the big mac combo, and Matt and I simply don't go to MC Donalds anymore....we got sticker shocked at $11.

McDonald's has lost their way...their mission....their identity.

Other fast food places are ahead of them, with promoting combos at $7 and $5 dollars, like Wendy's and Dairy Queen....and advertising the heck out of them, on Tv.

 

[eagle1462010]

Which just proves you have absolutely zero idea how inflation works. And how much money it actually costs them to produce one Big Mac....even with the cost of property and salary built in...Hint...it's not 14 bucks.

You don't like it?..suck it up and starve..until you get home.

Another Marxist saying suck it up when the prices have doubled since Covid.

Good Job you dumb fuck.

such triggered anger so early in the morning, that shit is not healthy for you.

 

[eagle1462010]

It's like when they say they paid $5.39 for a gallon of gas, but refuse to post the proof by simply taking a screen shot of "Gas Buddy"

They know they are lying and worse, they then call us liars.

Average Regular Gas Price Comparison in California

Cali taxes are high as fuck. We dont pay near that much in LA. Lower Alabama.

Enjoy your Con game of politicians Raping your asses for your on good there

Dont like that? IDGAF
