No no. It's not that we can't afford it. It's the fact that food quality has diminished, portions have been shrunk, and now prices have risen to that of a sit down resteraunt.
So logically speaking it makes more sense to get bigger portions, of better quality food, for the same price.
Mcdonslds has priced themselves out of their own market. Stop trying to blame consumers for not buying, and start selling something consumers want to buy.
I don't know if I can agree that McDonald's reduced their portions or if that would be bad if they did.
The problem is more that the price doesn't make sense for the amount and quality of the food.
Yeah I'm not commenting on anything but portion. The portions aren't small any time I've ever been there.
A lot of false conclusions here.
There's plenty affordable fast food out there, just not at McDonalds. McDonalds and other publicly traded fast food companies have jacked up prices to pay their shareholders while simultaneously decreasing quality and service across the board. Meanwhile, I've got a regional burger chain near me where I can get a double cheeseburger with fries for $5 that's way more substantial than anything McDonalds offers.
This isn't "a boring dystopia," this is just people dumping McDonalds, which is a good thing.
How is stuff getting shittier while prices go up not a boring dystopia? Like sure, publicly traded and all that, but isn’t that what we are here to comment on?
I don't agree with the conclusion. Mcdonalds has gotten more expensive than many high end burgers, and mcdonalds is not a high end burger.
That's the main reason I never get food there. I realized a few years ago that I can get better food for about the same price by going to Culver's, or if I want I can even go to a sit down restaurant for not much more. I don't even know what their prices are like now because it's been a few years since I last stepped foot in McDonalds
Yeah traditional fast food is expensive now, much more bang for your buck going to local chinese, mexican, and indian restaurants where I am. Even a subway sandwich has inched above the prices of local sandwich places (and it’s by far the lowest quality).
yeah, you better eat healthy food.
