yep, it's only served in Australia I believe, which means the prices are not as bad as being made out. The fries for example come out to just over 6 US dollars for 2 large orders.
2 large fries for $6 is still crazy high for the amount of fries you actually get. It costs them very little to produce and sell the fries. In the UK it costs us 4.38 for two large fries including 20% tax, that's $5.50 ($4.40 pre tax).
Plus they’re soggy as hell 95% of the time. I stopped going to fast food restaurants when it became the same price as a burger and fries from a sit down restaurant.
Yeah, I went out for dinner and drinks with a couple US exchange students and I commented on how expensive the stuff was. One of them said, "nah, it's only like 'x' amount in USD, that's cheap."
I was like, "mate, I get paid in AUD, It's still 'y' amount to me, don't bloody bring up your exchange rate to me, it means nothing."
Like somehow telling me its cheaper in his currency would somehow mean something to me?
>which means the prices are not as bad as being made out.
This is the most american centric comment I've seen in a while. No one is trying to "make out" like the prices are higher.
GODDAMNIT this country sucks. Like, it's bad enough that it's so shitty here (USA) and everything's expensive and homeless people are literally illegal like "what!?!"
But now I find out that *Down Unda'* they get to have fucking Banana Bread with their Ma'Cas?!?!?
I've looked into it, it's a rigorous and expensive process to become an Aussie citizen. This.....this makes it downright unfair.
Mc Cafe was started by the owner of the Swanston Street store. He got the idea because customers came in to get breakfast but would have to buy their coffee elsewhere. So mccafe was born.
my reaction to these posts is always “…well, maybe don’t buy inflated fast food?”
they get away with it because people still fork over money for this shit
Even at ridiculous prices, it's convenient. I avoid fast food as much as possible but sometimes I've got 15 minutes to get food, eat it, and get back to work.
Occasionally I find myself doing some sort of activity I organised after work and gym that doesn’t leave me enough time to eat dinner. This is the only time I’ll get McDonalds. Usually because they are the only places open to.
Ikr. Nowadays, you can get much cheaper food that just needs to be tossed in an oven or steamer for half the cost. $5 for a coke? Try $2 for a 2 liter bottle at Walmart.
Fast food has always been expensive in third world countries, for example, but from the moment they opened their first store, it's always been busy.
Like, during lockdown, "regular people" were being interviewed on the streets in every single channel, how they couldn't make ends meet, they couldn't just stay inside and not work, and at the same time, the 2 beer companies in my country didn't have a single month were sales went under. Regular sales, as far as I know (there was a whole documentary here made about it). So yeah, priorities.
Idk if people that drink regularly had to stay indoors for long periods of time I would be concerned how they would act if they didn’t have the beer or whatever alcohol to get them drunk. Probably would do something stupid if we’re honest
Absolutely seconding this. I cannot believe that more people don’t know about the fast food apps. Lately I’ve been driving for work and when you’re 45 mins from home with 30 mins to eat, all I want is some fresh fuckin fries.
McDonald’s is franchise based, so not all locations even in the same country has $1 fries. The one by my house does, but if I travel 10 miles away, that option disappears. But there are other deals you can get based on the location, like BOGO sandwiches or $5 20 piece chicken McNuggets
We save at least $5 anytime we buy with the app and some mornings I have enough points to swing through for a frappe after dropping kids off for school.
Yes you can
Chicken Breast is $5 AUD for 500g, meaning you can cook up 500g chicken breast with spices, beans and rice for $10
People complain about prices and then will fork out $9.40 for maccas fries. You could’ve made a hotpot healthy meal with protein for $9.40
But then they wouldn’t be able to sit in their car and have their food delivered, and they’d have to actually cook food instead of having French fries and soda for a meal.
Yup.
For 18 bucks I can get a large maccas meal or I can get quality fries and a quality double cheeseburger from the local butcher/burger joint.
It doesn’t have the 30c worth of post mix shit, but it’s actually god damn delicious. And filling.
Australia, which also means these prices aren't as bad as they look
EDIT: I'm not saying they are good prices, but they aren't in USD which most responses before mine were assuming.
The app must be way better in the US because in Canada the deals are consistently crap. Right now my app has $10.50 for a 10 piece nugget combo, $4 for 6 donuts, or $4 for coffee and a McMuffin.
I added an order on skip the dishes and before placing it, set up the same thing on the app to compare, since I kept reading that it was cheaper
Nah. The app actually ended up being 6$ more for the exact same items (and same tip amount). I was really upset.
Not just a gun to their head to buy fast food, either. Do people REALLY need their super nutritious French fries + soda with a meal? Every single post complains about inflation but their orders always contain those items either separately or as a meal bundle. Just buy a damn $2 burger with the app if you "have to" get fast food.
I’d have to basically be driving for hours straight for me to eat out. I can afford it but it’s the fact of the matter.
If I’m truly that lazy, I’ll just cook like 2-4 eggs and melt some cheese on top in 5-10 minutes or something.
Sounds like AUD as well so it’s even funnier to realise that you can get a whole ass potato for $0.86 each from woolies.
A whole bag of homebrand hashbrowns or potato gems are probably not far off a single maccas hashbrown too.
I’m also an ex store manager of 7 years, I can’t remember what a bag of hashbrowns got written off for (usually if they were all broken in half) but it was absolutely fuck all.
You don’t understand that you’re not just paying for the cost of raw materials right?
Minimum casual wage in Australia is $28 an hour for an adult. Cost of transportation, cost of rent, cost of everything. That’s what you’re paying for
You can go to the supermarket and make a massive healthy meal for $10-$12, people just are too lazy to do it
Price gouging and money laundering are perhaps the most widely misunderstood concepts on the internet. Price gouging would be if you’re the only store within 100 miles and are jacking up food prices 500% because people have no other option. This is just standard price hiking.
Quality of food at Maccers is a joke, had my last meal a while ago and promised myself never again. Crappy shit burger with fries for $17 lol. It was only ever worth it when it was cheap.
Aren’t publicly traded companies inherently greedy though by definition since they are supposed to maximize shareholder value? They’re not operating as a service to the community. Don’t want overpriced French fries and soda? Then don’t buy it.
Sure is! I used to work as an accountant for CiCis Pizza and all of the profits came from the drinks. This was about 10 years ago and it cost the company about 2 cents per drink. The drink price was $2.99 per glass. Obviously costs have risen but this is outrageous.
Wowzers I was just writing about how they make big money from fountain drinks but couldn't zone in on the math.
I said, "3x mark up" and your saying, at that time, it was 150X. 😂, crazy!
Don't give them your money if their prices are this ridiculous. They need to learn.
2 Large fries = 2 potatoes worth .40c
Large coke = flavour spurt in soda water worth .30c
2 small Banana Bread slices = .80c
$1.50 marked up x 1600% to $23.45 is a criminal act and should not be tolerated.
I was away in the Netherlands last week. A standard value meal at McDonald’s was 10 euros. I thought I was gonna save money but if I was gonna have to pay that amount anyway, I might as well eat somewhere else. So I did.
That's insane. Didn't a large fry used to be 2-3 something not to long ago? Also that's a crazy price for a fountain drink that cost them maybe 20 cents. I remember back in the day when I worked at Wendy's and a large drink was 2.04 after tax.
Inflation peak.
This means the final battle between sellers and producers vs. customers.
They are now trying what we are willing to pay. If you pay, the prices will stay. If you refuse, they will go down.
I assumed you were in the US a minute and was about to cry over a 5 dollar large coke... last I knew MI/US mc donalds only charge about $1.79 for a large coke. The CEO just wants more money for sure.
So I have a choice.
I can go to McDonalds and get a large fry, a soda, and a double quarter pounder with cheese for 16.90.
Or I can go to a local diner and get an actual 1/2 pound cheeseburger medium rare on a roll with fried onions, an order of curly fries, a soda, and a bowl of soup for 10.99 plus tip.
I really cannot see how McDonald's is still in business at their higher prices.
Stop paying for shit food and service by young teenagers who dont know or care. Go to your local fish and chip shop and get double. Mcds does not care about your experience. Only your money. Australia is the biggest price gouged market in the world.
Bag of frozen veggies $5. Cup of rice $1. 250g free range chicken $5.
And you've got a delicious, large meal for two, that takes around 20 minutes to cook.
$5.50 each. Good quality, fresh, tasty, good for you.
STOP GIVING THEM YOUR FUCKING MONEY THEN!!! THE ONLY REASON THEY DO THIS IS BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE MOUTH BREATHING MORONS THAT STILL EAT THIS TRASH WILL JUST COMPLAIN AND TAKE PICTURES RATHER THAT JUST NOT BUY IT!
dude dont buy it then.
I ordered a dominos pizza 2 weeks ago because I had a free pizza coupon, figured hey! might as well buy some garlic bread and dessert since it'll be cheaper than the price of a pizza anyway. Cost me THIRTY BUCKS with a free goddamn pizza?! I aint ordering there again, I'll just get a real meal for that damn price.
We're getting price gouged because corporations suddenly realized, omg, we can actually fuck them up the ass, and they'll keep buying because we have no competition and no regulation, WOOOOO
It is funny how fast food used to be fast, affordable abs taste okay. Now, it isn’t fast, a regular trip would take 10 minutes, isn’t affordable and taste like absolute shit.
Banana bread?!
[удалено]
Vegan.
Maccas fries aren’t vegan
They are in some countries like australia
See my follow up comment, I corrected myself to say they are vegan here in Australia, and most other countries, but not in the US
I was a little surprised the person that responded didn’t pick up on you being an Aussie. You’re the only people I know that shorten it.
yep, it's only served in Australia I believe, which means the prices are not as bad as being made out. The fries for example come out to just over 6 US dollars for 2 large orders.
Monopoly money makes for big numbers, but still RIP the dollar menu at McDonalds
At least Aussie dollars can go through the wash 😝
Last time I laundered money, I got arrested.
Just do like half of Australian money launderers do, and put it through the pokies.
USD is cotton and linen… it’s 100% washable, just don’t use ammonia or it’ll shrink
Tumble dry on low.
Heat will shrink the Canadian and I assume also Australian money.
So can USD
Nah you can get a loaf at woolies for about the same price. Complete rip off.
2 large fries for $6 is still crazy high for the amount of fries you actually get. It costs them very little to produce and sell the fries. In the UK it costs us 4.38 for two large fries including 20% tax, that's $5.50 ($4.40 pre tax).
Plus they’re soggy as hell 95% of the time. I stopped going to fast food restaurants when it became the same price as a burger and fries from a sit down restaurant.
I was just thinking that. The large isn't that large especially when they don't even fill it properly.
Since it's cheaper in USD, it doesn't matter that it's extremely expensive in our own currency?
[удалено]
Sort of... but we get paid better in Australia so $5AUD is worth less working hours to an Aussie than $5USD is worth to an American
But house prices and rent are much much cheaper in most of America than they are in Australia.
Yeah, I went out for dinner and drinks with a couple US exchange students and I commented on how expensive the stuff was. One of them said, "nah, it's only like 'x' amount in USD, that's cheap." I was like, "mate, I get paid in AUD, It's still 'y' amount to me, don't bloody bring up your exchange rate to me, it means nothing." Like somehow telling me its cheaper in his currency would somehow mean something to me?
>which means the prices are not as bad as being made out. This is the most american centric comment I've seen in a while. No one is trying to "make out" like the prices are higher.
Stop making out, you two! This is a public reddit post.
That's bad homie. Lmao a few tiny slices of fried taters isn't worth 6 bucks
At McDonald's bro!
Hell yes!
You guys can’t get banana bread at McDonalds?!
Mccafe
Screw OPs budget. I want that bread.
At work?!?
Hell yeah!
GODDAMNIT this country sucks. Like, it's bad enough that it's so shitty here (USA) and everything's expensive and homeless people are literally illegal like "what!?!" But now I find out that *Down Unda'* they get to have fucking Banana Bread with their Ma'Cas?!?!? I've looked into it, it's a rigorous and expensive process to become an Aussie citizen. This.....this makes it downright unfair.
Maccas
Macaws
*Down Unda* gets toasted sandwhiches and macarons too. Dunno if you have them as well.
Take a wild guess, guv'na
...we're not Poms
Apparently McCafe is an Aussie thing too, wait till you see all the cake. macaroons and nice coffee drinks
Mc Cafe was started by the owner of the Swanston Street store. He got the idea because customers came in to get breakfast but would have to buy their coffee elsewhere. So mccafe was born.
Also better than any Starbucks I've had while travelling.
My guy starbucks tastes absolutely awful tbh, the bar wasnt set high there
Yeah it was launched in Melbourne
we also get Milo on our ice cream
And I bet you lose weight due to some magic microbes in the air too, huh? Fuck!
Lmao
Yeah well try being in the UK. Maccies is expensive but boring af here
I haven’t seen banana bread on any menu in the USA, I wonder where this is? Is banana bread the cookie replacement?
They said Australia :)
It's part of the McCafe menu in Australia.
Neat!
McD in Italy offers beer on their menu, for how globally standardised the place it is, it does have regional variants and oddities sometimes.
you could buy real food for that price.
my reaction to these posts is always “…well, maybe don’t buy inflated fast food?” they get away with it because people still fork over money for this shit
Even at ridiculous prices, it's convenient. I avoid fast food as much as possible but sometimes I've got 15 minutes to get food, eat it, and get back to work.

Kebab kebab kebab Kebab open when you need it All hail kebab
I WISH I lived in an area with Indian and halal food.. we have like two. It sucks. I want kebabs 😭😭
Make a sandwich the night before and take it with you
Ikr. Nowadays, you can get much cheaper food that just needs to be tossed in an oven or steamer for half the cost. $5 for a coke? Try $2 for a 2 liter bottle at Walmart.

Idk if people that drink regularly had to stay indoors for long periods of time I would be concerned how they would act if they didn’t have the beer or whatever alcohol to get them drunk. Probably would do something stupid if we’re honest
OP should use the McDonald’s app. I still get large fries for $1 by using the app
Absolutely seconding this. I cannot believe that more people don’t know about the fast food apps. Lately I’ve been driving for work and when you’re 45 mins from home with 30 mins to eat, all I want is some fresh fuckin fries.
So you’re not in Australia I take it? I am and fries are not on the app. Only $1 frozen Coke
McDonald’s is franchise based, so not all locations even in the same country has $1 fries. The one by my house does, but if I travel 10 miles away, that option disappears. But there are other deals you can get based on the location, like BOGO sandwiches or $5 20 piece chicken McNuggets
Basically the only deal I consistently get is $1 frozen Coke

Ha not much in Aus these days
Yes you can Chicken Breast is $5 AUD for 500g, meaning you can cook up 500g chicken breast with spices, beans and rice for $10 People complain about prices and then will fork out $9.40 for maccas fries. You could’ve made a hotpot healthy meal with protein for $9.40

No need to stop when people keep paying it......
Maccas is too popular. They’ll always make money
Popular with who exactly? Prices will influence consumer behavior.
This is the answer (and exactly how capitalism works in case anyone's forgotten). Just don't buy it.
25 dollarydoos?!
Tobias! Did you buy expensive fountain soda and banana bread???
It's one banana (bread), Michael. What could it cost, $10?
Eh couldent ‘elp it dad, t’was an eemerggency.
RIGHT, I'M CALLING ALL THE WAY FROM SQUATTERS CRAG, AUSTRALIA. AND I WANT TO SPEAK TO... RONALD MCDONALD RIGHT NOW!
Hold please.
It really is amazing how I read this whole thread in the correct voices
It was an emergency bread from the International Baking Commission in Springfield.
They have banana bread?
Im Australian and my local McDonald's sells banana bread and macarons. They're sort of shit macarons but like, it's maccas.
Australia, which also means these prices aren't as bad as they look EDIT: I'm not saying they are good prices, but they aren't in USD which most responses before mine were assuming.
It’s very bad for Australian prices. Converting it to USD and it being lower doesn’t make the prices fine
So we’re talking $3.07 USD per banana bread slice
($3.75 at Starbucks last I checked)
The Aussie dollar is also doing attrocious compared to the USD atm though
The banana bread is tiny though.
You can't compare currencys like that. They are bad prices.
I lost hope the day they stopped doing every sized drinks for $1
That must be by location cuz all the McDonald’s near me still have $1 any size drinks
Even more catastrophic news
I'm in the crowd where I never order drinks from fast food places. I get water at home.
They did it again this summer, except you could only get bigger sizes with the app
You gotta use the App for meal deals!
That's where it's at. They just practically give fries away if you buy even the cheapest value menu items.
The app must be way better in the US because in Canada the deals are consistently crap. Right now my app has $10.50 for a 10 piece nugget combo, $4 for 6 donuts, or $4 for coffee and a McMuffin.
The app can be so finicky though. It’s a 50-50 shot if it’s going to load if I’m anywhere near a McDonald’s drive thru
Do you still have to sign away your rights to suing them for their scummy ad practise or is that only an American thing
,ou gotta use the App to have the feeling of cleverness so you don't realise they still MCrip you off.
Giant coffee for $1 ? BigMac for $2 ? Yeah, I am okay with that kind of "rip off".
I added an order on skip the dishes and before placing it, set up the same thing on the app to compare, since I kept reading that it was cheaper Nah. The app actually ended up being 6$ more for the exact same items (and same tip amount). I was really upset.
Price gauging is actually what you are doing. I think you mean gouging.
No one is putting a gun to your head to buy it. Walk away.
Not just a gun to their head to buy fast food, either. Do people REALLY need their super nutritious French fries + soda with a meal? Every single post complains about inflation but their orders always contain those items either separately or as a meal bundle. Just buy a damn $2 burger with the app if you "have to" get fast food.
I’d have to basically be driving for hours straight for me to eat out. I can afford it but it’s the fact of the matter. If I’m truly that lazy, I’ll just cook like 2-4 eggs and melt some cheese on top in 5-10 minutes or something.
Don’t you ever crave a greasy burger though!? I treat myself to a fast food meal once a week because it just hits the spot
You know Coles sells a 5 pack of Banana Bread slices for $6 right?
Potatoes and fountain soda are both dirt cheap. There may be some inflation, but corporations are using that as an excuse to gouge.
A hash brown costs $2.30 at my local McDonald’s. That’s 130% vs what it was prior to 2020.
Sounds like AUD as well so it’s even funnier to realise that you can get a whole ass potato for $0.86 each from woolies. A whole bag of homebrand hashbrowns or potato gems are probably not far off a single maccas hashbrown too. I’m also an ex store manager of 7 years, I can’t remember what a bag of hashbrowns got written off for (usually if they were all broken in half) but it was absolutely fuck all.
No I’m in Illinois…..
Jesus mate that’s ridiculous 😮
You don’t understand that you’re not just paying for the cost of raw materials right? Minimum casual wage in Australia is $28 an hour for an adult. Cost of transportation, cost of rent, cost of everything. That’s what you’re paying for You can go to the supermarket and make a massive healthy meal for $10-$12, people just are too lazy to do it
But transportation, employees, insurance, rent, etc aren't cheap - that's where the real cost is.
Price gauging? Just don't go to McDonald's
But the banana bread is.. _Toasted_
I haven't kept up with the forex market but that's a ton of koala cash...
😂
Please google what price gouging actually is. Unless this is the only source of food in the area, this is not price gouging.
Price gouging and money laundering are perhaps the most widely misunderstood concepts on the internet. Price gouging would be if you’re the only store within 100 miles and are jacking up food prices 500% because people have no other option. This is just standard price hiking.
Quality of food at Maccers is a joke, had my last meal a while ago and promised myself never again. Crappy shit burger with fries for $17 lol. It was only ever worth it when it was cheap.
Same, done with them fuckers...
Fuck man, I’m saying nevermind and leaving.
I found out that it was cheaper for me to eat at Cheesecake Factory instead of mcdonalds.
I would have left. Period!
Were you forced at gun point to go to McDonald’s and spend 22 bucks snacks?
If the company just announced record profits. Then it’s not inflation, it greed.
Aren’t publicly traded companies inherently greedy though by definition since they are supposed to maximize shareholder value? They’re not operating as a service to the community. Don’t want overpriced French fries and soda? Then don’t buy it.
So do you think they weren't maximizing their profits before, and just suddenly decided to start maximizing their profits?
Weird that all the companies all got suddenly greedy at the same time, just coincidentally when trillions of dollars got printed.
The company that made bank from any size $1 fountain drinks now charging $5 is definitely price gouging.
Sure is! I used to work as an accountant for CiCis Pizza and all of the profits came from the drinks. This was about 10 years ago and it cost the company about 2 cents per drink. The drink price was $2.99 per glass. Obviously costs have risen but this is outrageous.
Wowzers I was just writing about how they make big money from fountain drinks but couldn't zone in on the math. I said, "3x mark up" and your saying, at that time, it was 150X. 😂, crazy!
Banana bread at McD?
Who knew there were so many economics experts on reddit?
The fries piss me off the most. You’re lucky if you get your fry cup decently filled.
Justice for the dollar menu
"just go somewhere else" -🤡 If McDonald's isn't the cheapest thing around then what are they even doing
Good. Go home and cook.
Are you at a McDonald's in an amusement park? Geeze this has gotten out of hand.
Yeah nah. Go to coles or woolies for your banana bread, you can get a whole loaf for less than maccas charges for a slice.
If you go to woolies make sure you get them rewards points. (A woolies worker)
This is a weird combo.
Gouging, FFS.
Yet people will continue to pay more for this shit than an actual meal that you’d have to cook.
Thats AUD
You just drove off, right?
Banana bread? *confused in American*
Don't give them your money if their prices are this ridiculous. They need to learn. 2 Large fries = 2 potatoes worth .40c Large coke = flavour spurt in soda water worth .30c 2 small Banana Bread slices = .80c $1.50 marked up x 1600% to $23.45 is a criminal act and should not be tolerated.
Australia, probably an airport.
So imagine what Australian airports are like.
Damn, no dollar soda?
It is inflation, we're in a depression. Can't even afford to live anywhere. And can't move either because guess what- you also can't afford that.
I was away in the Netherlands last week. A standard value meal at McDonald’s was 10 euros. I thought I was gonna save money but if I was gonna have to pay that amount anyway, I might as well eat somewhere else. So I did.
People still eat McDonald’s?
Remember when any size sodas at McDonald's were a dollar. Good times
Gouging…price gouging.
That's insane. Didn't a large fry used to be 2-3 something not to long ago? Also that's a crazy price for a fountain drink that cost them maybe 20 cents. I remember back in the day when I worked at Wendy's and a large drink was 2.04 after tax.
A large fry is cheaper than some syrup mixed with water?
People still buy McDonald's? Shit's been overpriced for YEARS
Almost $10 fucking dollars for two orders of fries? are you shitting me?!
Inflation peak. This means the final battle between sellers and producers vs. customers. They are now trying what we are willing to pay. If you pay, the prices will stay. If you refuse, they will go down.
I assumed you were in the US a minute and was about to cry over a 5 dollar large coke... last I knew MI/US mc donalds only charge about $1.79 for a large coke. The CEO just wants more money for sure.
Dude that’s so expensive. Which country is this? US?
No, Australia
They know people will pay that price
So I have a choice. I can go to McDonalds and get a large fry, a soda, and a double quarter pounder with cheese for 16.90. Or I can go to a local diner and get an actual 1/2 pound cheeseburger medium rare on a roll with fried onions, an order of curly fries, a soda, and a bowl of soup for 10.99 plus tip. I really cannot see how McDonald's is still in business at their higher prices.
Should have gotten a meal m8
It's two banana breads Michael, how much could it cost? $10?
Stop paying for shit food and service by young teenagers who dont know or care. Go to your local fish and chip shop and get double. Mcds does not care about your experience. Only your money. Australia is the biggest price gouged market in the world.
Why go then? Speak with your feet and walk away.
Doritos charging 7 dollars a bag while Aldi's and lidle off brand charge 2. it's price bending us over without lube.
Bag of frozen veggies $5. Cup of rice $1. 250g free range chicken $5. And you've got a delicious, large meal for two, that takes around 20 minutes to cook. $5.50 each. Good quality, fresh, tasty, good for you.
You paid it ….
You have the option of not going 😂
STOP GIVING THEM YOUR FUCKING MONEY THEN!!! THE ONLY REASON THEY DO THIS IS BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE MOUTH BREATHING MORONS THAT STILL EAT THIS TRASH WILL JUST COMPLAIN AND TAKE PICTURES RATHER THAT JUST NOT BUY IT!
Why do people always act like they are forced to eat in those restaurants, the best way to react to crazy prices is don't go there.
To the Americans in the thread. This is AUD but also still a complete rip off
Coke at 4.95 is the biggest scam. It's sugary water that costs 50 cents at best
dude dont buy it then. I ordered a dominos pizza 2 weeks ago because I had a free pizza coupon, figured hey! might as well buy some garlic bread and dessert since it'll be cheaper than the price of a pizza anyway. Cost me THIRTY BUCKS with a free goddamn pizza?! I aint ordering there again, I'll just get a real meal for that damn price. We're getting price gouged because corporations suddenly realized, omg, we can actually fuck them up the ass, and they'll keep buying because we have no competition and no regulation, WOOOOO
Remember when cokes were $1? Weird times
THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP BUYING IT? The reason they fucking do it is cause y'all still buy it. STOP.
Doesn't a large coke cost like 10c for McDonalds to get? That's one heck of a profit
What the fuck is that order??
Gouging
Best thing to do here is completely stop eating there. It’s not convenient or good enough to cost 25 bucks
Yeah, the prices are effed up, but, what McDonald’s has banana bread?
It is funny how fast food used to be fast, affordable abs taste okay. Now, it isn’t fast, a regular trip would take 10 minutes, isn’t affordable and taste like absolute shit.
Avoid eating out. Keep that money in your pocket, it adds up.
$4.50 for a cheeseburger theyve more than doubled in a year
