I don't go to McDonald's, but this looks like cherry-picking data to force a narrative to me. Are Big Macs really $8 for just the sandwich these days?

No they are not and the median wage is up almost $16 over that same period. This image is a lesson in why you don’t lie or make a point that is already sound — it kneecaps your entire argument.

This isn't about median wage; this is about minimum wage.

Using the median wage to prove life is good is like using the median temperature of mass in the solar system to to prove its hot.

Spoiler: it's fucking not.

Did a little research and found a Big Mac costs around $4.49, or $7.49 for a meal. Really hard to check prices without downloading their app, btw. Though, I've heard that McDonnalds is a lot like Subway, in that anyone not using the app and coupon codes for every order is getting ripped off big time.

$7.80 here, close enough.

I don't either (can't actually eat there anyway due to allergies).

Anyway, its $8.69 by me, so yes.

Depends on where you are.

Just shy of $9 by me, and $15 for the meal.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Yeah totally. I went to one just outside of Chicago about a month ago for my nieces birthday and the Big Mac there was over $8. A damn happy meal was $14!

$5.29 near me. And you can get 25% off if you use the app.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

25% off and all I need to do is give up access to my phone and all the info it gathers on me to be monetized and used to manipulate me into spending more?!

Forces always-on location

Keeps accessing location indefinitely* if app isn’t forced closed

Great deal

*certainly for hours

don't forget the disney clause

Looks like that's what a double cheeseburger would cost me here, and a single cheeseburger is $4.39 lol

And a happy meal is $10, ridiculous
