I blame the $6 mcmuffins and $4 hash browns.
For the price of McDonalds, you can go somewhere with decent food these days. The o ly reason to go there is if you are in a super rush, and even then, c-stores are putting out increasingly good food these days that can be grabbed in 2 minutes.
I paid $12 for a plate of two eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon slices, 2 slices of tomato, a hash brown, 2 slices of toast, and a large coffee at A&W the other day.
Def the best breakfast for fast-food around.
A&W is underrated
if only there had been warning signs
The only reason to eat at McDonald's was because it was cheap and fast. It's no longer cheap and you can get better food for almost as fast elsewhere. STFU McDonald's.
These days, you can get a REAL cheeseburger, fries, drink, and appetizer at Chili's for $10.99. If you are in their club, you also get a free chips & salsa. Add a $2 tip (18%), and its $12.99, cheaper than McDonalds for an excellent burger, and more food, in a decent sit-down restaurant. That's the same as McDonald's, so why wpuld you go there?
And you can order online and pick it up of you want to eat at home.
Anywhere but the mirror, huh? Please collapse, McDonald's.
I can’t afford to eat at McDonald’s, even if I wanted to.
You aren't missing anything.
Who the fuck is still spending money at McDonald’s in 2025?
Can someone get it through the mcds executive heads that they fucking suck?
I love how they had that cute little virtue signaling with that fucking shit gibbon of a fake president and now they’re like oh it’s consumer Spending. Let me tell you as a retail business it’s them.
They felt the need to signal to maga and they’re going to get what they get because maga are fucking broke and only have money to buy Shitty Chinese made red hats And fake American flags.
Dumb fucks.
My boomer mother in law. Rural origins. Just... Likes the garbage she gets there because she's used to it. She actively dislikes fine foods with strong flavors. She would prefer to eat mushy overcooked pork chops in mushroom soup every night. Maybe a side of overcooked broccoli.
Brags about eating bowls of saltine crackers and milk.
Interestingly enough, where I live, it's McDonalds that has strong flavors. Not the most complex flavors or anything, but they at least put enough salt in their stuff that you can taste it. Plenty of fancier places make burgers that are better in every other aspect but sauce has little to no flavor compared to say, a Big Tasty. But of course the funny thing is, some of these places are now cheaper than McDonald's...
By strong flavor I mean Mediterranean or Indian food. She can't tolerate it. Needs her KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.
That milk and crackers bit is so gross!
I used to work with a lady that would refuse vegetables like a child. She had to be in her late 50s early 60s. She'd complain to me about health problems and then vehemently refuse any healthy alternative I'd put out there.
Well, at least some good has come from Trump's brainless vandalism.
Get fucked McDonald's, raising prices every year on cheap, crappy, unhealthy food. Get fucked, you literally voted for this. Fuck all the way off and enjoy your ride. Cunts.
They literally donated so much to his campaign fund
And curbed DEI immediately and eagerly.
I guess Trump doesn't help, but it's also easy to point the finger. If eating at a fast food chain is no longer fast, cheap nor food (let's be honest). Is it then strange that sales are declining?
I support all the Trump-bashing in the world, but let's not allow crappy big businesses to just blame everything on him. McDonald's has a responsibility and they haven't lived up to it. Blaming Trump for consumers not choosing your overpriced, shitty product is not reasonable.
THE SHAREHOLDERS DEMAND MORE DIVIDENDS.
MUST. CONTINUE. ENSHITIFICATION.
