Me, hungry with $10 in my pocket

Open McDonald's app

See ad for $5 meals

Click it

All meals are $6 or more

Close app

Make a sandwich

This is becoming a common thing with McDonald's. The 1,2,3 menu is all $4.50 or more here, too.

They literally making you work to get a coupon and then prolly collect too much data from the app.

Eshitifoed dystopia... There was a time where working man could just go in get a cheap sandwich, get it fast and consistent.

It ain't fast and it sure as fuck ain't consistent well besides being const shite.

The value proposition straight up is not there anymore. The coupons suck now too.
