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 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
You bent the knee.
Suffer the consequences.
Exactly. Maybe they should ask the president to do another PR stunt to help sales. I hear advertising on the white house lawn worked great for Tesla’s stock price. He should serve McDonald’s on the white house lawn next. /s
Nah, install a franchise next to the oval office.
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.
Maybe McDonalds shouldn’t have endorsed a fucking dictator during the election?
Right? It’s absolutely part of why I don’t spend money there. The other part being shit food that’s too expensive, but letting this assclown promote your brand turned about half the country off of your products hard.
I actually forgot about the endorsement until i read the article. Fuck mcd
Last time I went, waited 20 min for ‘fast food’, then got hit with a large bill. Yeah, no shit sales are down. Haven’t gone back in years.
if i’m paying culver’s prices. i’m going next door to culvers. service can be a little slow but they cook to order (not ‘assemble and reheat to order’) and is always a ‘10’, food is usually too–and unlike mcdonalds’ perpetually-‘broken’ ice cream machine, culver’s never runs out of custard, ever.
mcdonalds’ only attraction was a low price–and that advantage has been gone for at least a decade.
Culvers’ burgers are top tier for fast food. So good.
Culvers is cheaper than McDonalds, and it’s actually really good quality food. They have a wide menu, too.
Fake story. You get hit with the large bill before you wait for 20 minutes.
Yep, at least in my area McDonalds is slow, expensive and the foods is consistently crappy. About the fast food place I have a lower opinion of is the local Wendys, because they haven’t mastered the skill of “Let the buns from the fridge reach room temperature before serving them to customers.” A lukewarm patty on a refrigerator cold bun isn’t very appealing.
You got lucky. Last time for me I waited 1hour+. Why? Because I ordered inside the restaurant instead of the drive-through. Apparently they have incentives to keep the drive-through queue small and fast.
And I’m not even in car land (America). It was in Spain. I cannot even imagine what ordering in car land from inside the restaurant will take.
EDIT:
Fast food still exists though, it just doesn’t come in the form of the usual American corporations. My local kebab fulfills the order in 5-10 minutes.
You can get real food for the same cost now. Just no reason to go there
honestly its bumpin now I dont spend more than $5
this pic is a year old. its worse now:
I mean, mcdonalds had to raise prices to make up for all the free food they handed out to the IDF, so I get it.
I think they should have used an LA Taco Bell for the comparison.
They’re probably taking notes from the one in fuckin Seattle
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.
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.
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.
Anywhere but the mirror, huh? Please collapse, McDonald’s.
if only there had been warning signs
I stopped eating there a year ago when I found out they were charging me about 50% more for not using their app.
the one here remodeled awhile back to basically a drive-thru, door dash, and mobile app kitchen. dine-in and take-out is a nuisance to them. 10-15 minutes to get an order taken, that long again to get it. the counter and dining room have been designed to absolutely discourage those customers from even wanting to come inside at all.
Yep. I don’t go often anyhow but won’t anymore as they don’t even seem to take orders. You gotta use a kiosk and I refuse to waste my time doing that when a cashier could ring me out in 15 seconds. And definitely never installing an app.
I hadn’t been to a McD in ages, but I took my niece and her friend to an event and they wanted to stop there. It was the most dystopian eating experience I ever had.
The interior was all off white and sterile (emotionally). There was no counter service, you ordered through a gigantic kiosk. Food took forever. As you said, the drive in and DoorDash seemed to be dominating the customer base. There were maybe 2 other tables in use during dinner rush.
The funniest/saddest part to me, was it sounded like there was maybe just 1 employee in the kitchen, and at any given time, either a manager was yelling at them or a machine was beeping out orders, I’m assuming from the kitchen timers going or orders coming through. So the whole time we’re waiting, which was a decent amount of time, I’m picturing this lone teenager being yelled out by a lineup of a middle age dude and a parade of machines.
Food came out cold and not great, but about what I expect from McD’s, which is why I don’t like to go there. The kids just each got a Sprite and fries, which we could have gotten anywhere else…
I honestly don’t care all that much that the food is standardized to such a degree, that’s it’s made out of strange industrial processes, or even that it’s always cold when all the other fast food places seem to at least have warm food. It’s that no matter what I get, I always feel like I’ve never actually eaten anything. My stomach always feels as empty after I’ve eaten there. I eat a decent amount of not great for me foods, but McDonalds is the only thing that consistently feels so devoid of any nutritional value whatsoever. It just blows my mind every time.
Aside from it already being shit to eat at a McDonalds to begin with, what sad life must one lead to order McDonalds home, when they could order anything else from the local burger, pizza, asian, kebap, etc. place for the same price in better quality and quantity.
Ours burnt down, when they rebuilt it, they just didn’t put an inside location at all. It looks like a storefront, but you can’t open the front door. There are no tables, there is no play place, just a drive thru and Uber eats / DD / McDonald’s app pickup area. If you’re on foot, you can go fuck yourself I guess.
The new ones around me are all like that. No drink station, no condiments, not even a napkin dispenser. The kitchen, which used to be open so you could see the activity, is blocked by a wall, so you have no idea what is happening back there. There is NEVER anyone at the registers, and if you want to order, youbhave to wait until someone hidden in the back happens to look out and notice that someone is waiting to order.
Its obvious that they are getting ready to go fully robotic soon, and when they do, you wont have the ability to see how few people are in the back.
Yeah, I would always cringe whenever I saw people ordering food in person and not using the app.
It just shows front-and-center how abusive the relationship between businesses and customers is. Like, all of the employees knew you were getting ripped off but none of them told you anything about it.
It’s fucked.
I’m aware the app has cheaper deals. I’m also not willing to enter a binding arbitration deal with them to save a few bucks. I just don’t eat there.
I don’t blame the employee; they’re not paid enough to give a shit.
…how about blaming trashy
fastslow food priced higher than table service at a proper sit-down restaurant?..You’re not wrong, but let’s just see where this goes first. I’m not even sure the cheetoh poll higher amongst his fans than McDonald’s.
Well, their “food” now costs as much or more than a nice sit-down meal. And, in my opinion, it’s terrible.
Exactly, some European countries will let you have a beer with your Maccies, but personally I’d rather have a meal at a pub or cheap restaurant, where the prices are similar.
Also their food fucking sucks and makes you fat and sick
I haven’t really eaten fast food in years, but a few months ago I was sort of forced to get lunch at a Burger King because it was the only place around. It (a Whopper and onion rings) was actually pretty tasty, a lot better than what I was expecting. But I just felt so physically bad after eating it, like I just wanted to lay down somewhere and die. Maybe it was all the salt, I dunno. When you combine this with the insane prices, it’s a just a mystery why anyone would eat this shit regularly.
why does anybody become addicts? To escape from the stress of things they don’t want to confront.
And living in many urban USA areas just seems like a baseline stressful experience.
I used to accept the fat and sick part because of the price. Now it costs just as much to eat at a whole ass sit-down restaurant, why the hell would I go there?
And they doubled the price in the past 10 years
In 2020 I was moving into my house. Late night moving, 3am, I needed food. There’s a McDs across the street. A’ight. Gonna have to happen. Get the shitty little cheeseburgers that’s always been a dollar… no wait, they’re not on the dollar menu… actually there’s no dollar menu… fuck it… there’s the meal for them.
The two shitty cheeseburgers, small fries, small drink, over $8 plus tax.
I’ve never been back to one since.
It’s mostly this one.
This is only half bullshit. Quality is through the bottom level of hell on every metric at McDonalds. The ONLY reason I go is because they have a kids playplace. The app is essentially required, but sucks ass for usability. They took the soda machines out of most of them so free refills are basically gone, the prices are rediculous and the food sucks. Also, people are tightening belts because Trump (WHO MCDONALDS SUPPORTED) is an idiot.
All of that gripe and you still go there instead of a public park?
We spend a LOT of time at the local parks. I’ll guess you don’t have kids. Sometimes it rains, other times it’s cold, sometimes you need to get them to just put SOMETHING in their stomachs, because if they don’t, they’ll get hangry but don’t have the emotional or bodily intelligence to understand what’s going on.
ChickFilA also has playplaces but they have their own set of issues.
Oh I do have kids. They went outside rain or shine to parks most of their lives. I went to a play place once… it was gross. If they needed food we went to a local place that was good for them. It is funny now because my oldest sometimes complains that they never understood fast food or how to order it. Sometimes they tell me I ruined them because all the snack foods taste like crap to them.
At least here in Los Angeles, many of the parks are unsafe for children. I found a knife in the playground last year.
Defund public spaces, then increase the cost of private spaces. Neoliberalism, everybody.
Go help clean them up, then.
Done that plenty, it makes a huge difference and as people notice they come and help out too.
Ya know how many toilets I’ve helped dragged out of local streams and creeks? Way too fucking many.
I don’t mind cleaning up garbage. But I’m not usually prepared to safely handle sharps.
Nobody is. Kinda heartbreaking.
What we usually do is find an empty milk jug or soda bottle to collect them in, and we have a method where rake and spread out garbage out before we pick it up in order to spot any sharps and avoid injuries.
I did, I still have the knife.
Sick. Free knife, yo.
It’s probably an abandoned murder weapon.
Toilets? Like ceramic? The home appliance that you shit into everyday? People throw those into streams and rivers??
…(Shatner.gif)But why?
That’s just how people are sometimes.
I’ve also helped fished out:
- enormous dildos
- car engines
- stoves
- tires
- a coffin (it was empty, we reported it to the cops)
Define “enormous”
It was like three inches in diameter, the length of a forearm, & covered in algae.
At first I thought it was a wolf eel or something, but then I saw the balls.
If your kids are playground aged, you probably don’t have a ton of free time/babysitter money to be doing that. You could bring the kids, but I’d rather not have my small children handling used needles and condoms (just a few of the delights I’ve found on my local playground)…
I can think of a million completely valid reasons that may prevent someone from helping improve their community.
But still something that we need to find the time to help improve our community and that time needs to come from our jobs, not our family, so steal as much time from your employer as you can.
After I sent that I was worried that would be the answer. I am so sorry your kids can’t just go to a park.
Stop going there.
Do not teach your kids to compromise on their values.
Plus those indoor play places are so hard to clean properly and unhygienic, you may inadvertently expose your kids to the measles virus or something.
Take them to the YMCA or something.
What do you mean the quality is bad?
I have no idea what I’m looking at here.
That’s the new 1/32nd pound patty.
the cool thing is you can spray it onto a bun, right out of a can.
That’s supposed to be a patty?! Goddamn, I thought they put a slice of beef jerky in it or something.
It’s like thinly sliced deli meat, but it’s “precooked” “beef”. Welcome to capitalism.
Heh. McDonald’s here in Canada (at least the ones near me) is generally pretty good as far as fast food goes, my only gripe was the shitty app. Of course, we’ve already stopped eating there anyways; dumbest trade war in history
