Where I live it has gotten pretty expensive compared to other (non-chain) fast food options and even cheap restaurants.

I very much doubt that's actually the case if you look at prices closely. Prices went up, but not as much as the Internet would have you believe, and certainly not that much higher than other restaurants. Feel free to provide examples from your region but the US examples are cherry picked stores and are not representative of average prices.

$20 will get you more than 2k calories.

I mean I’m “cherry picking” where I fucking live. A Big Mac meal is over $10 in CA. An in-n-out equivalent meal (double double + fries + soda), a chain that was paying well above minimum wage for decades, is $9. And you get way more food from In-N-Out for that price. McDonald’s even has gotten rid of cashiers (unlike in-n-out) and they still can’t compete on price. I’m sorry but McDonald’s is just fucking greedy.

That's not the flex you think it is.

[–] IsThisAnAI 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not a flex, it's actual evidence to ops statement. McDonald's isn't more expensive than nice fast food, it's not that much more than the real cheap fast food, and it ain't even close to mid tier sit down much less a gourmet/Michelin star at $175/head.

Y'all just pissed off I called out the hyperbole.

You only care for calories? Get a small soda with unlimited refills. Easy.

McDonald's isn't more expensive than nice fast food

Depends on where you live, I'd imagine. Where I am, it is, or at least on par. And why would I choose the pricier (or same) crappier version?

it's not that much more than the real cheap fast food

Except that's its bracket. McDonald's is supposed to be crappy (it is), cheap (it isn't) fast food.
