Notice they are too embarrassed to post their prices online. To see the price, you have to put the item in the cart then use some bs 3rd party app. WTF McDs?

Four McDoubles for 20 bucks. Fuck off!

CosmicTurtle0 ,

At that price, Five Guys.

Scrolled through for a while and didn’t see anyone complaining about ditching coupons for their app bullshit. I’m not using an app for fast food

$12 🤔 No, $15😀🤭 Me rethinks.

Shitty food for retarded prices. I’ll just go to the pizza place on the next corner and get a burger there. Better burger, better fries, same price, better surroundings.

When fast food is as much or more than grocery store sushi, fuck it, I’ll park the car and go grab some fish.

The bigger reason I don’t go to McDonald’s is because of the self serve kiosks they’ve forced on us instead of paying people to run the registers.

Price is still a reason though, so I’m glad they are at least considering that as well.

i don’t get why people complain about this – i’d so so much rather type my order in myself, see what’s in everything, make modifications easily, etc without having to talk to someone. get those workers on the line and help ease the load on the kitchen

SaltySalamander ,

They didn't "get those workers on the line" though. They fired them. Fuck McDonalds, and FUCK ANY BUSINESS that forces these fucking things on us. I'm not there to work, I'm there to order food and eat. If you can't be bothered to take my order, I can't be bothered to drop a fucking dime on your business.

They weren’t paying them a living wage in the first place let them replace it with screens

Maybe i am just too old and go to McDonald’s too infrequently, but i can never figure out how to get my order done properly on the kiosks. Try ordering a McGriddle combo with a Carmel latte. There’s no visible option for that. Unless you ppan on doing a basic order, the kiosks suck

Also, I feel a bit awkward when I order two BigMacs at the register.

They largely removed their vegan options. Nuff said.

carvine1 ,

Oh wow… Increased prices resulted in people going else where… Who would have seen that coming 🤔

Their food sucks. 🤷‍♂️

RedditWanderer ,

They were making way too much money to begin with, nevermind growth.

Also McDonald’s is just a real estate company, I’m guessing the franchisees are complaining they aren’t going to stick around.

I don't get fast food often, but I did go to McDonald's a week or two ago. I learned that they replaced their fountains so that they no longer dispense water, so you can't get a free cup of water anymore. You have to buy a bottle of water or a soda.

I don't intend on ever returning to a McDonald's.

the firm would lean on discounts to try to stop the sales decline

So not even price cuts, just temporary discounts. Eff off!

andrewta ,

First sales call since 2020.

Three years? So what? That’s nothing. Now if they said first sales fall since 2002, now that would be something.

SaltySalamander ,

No business weathered Covid without a drop in sales, except maybe for the healthcare sector. Good luck finding any customer-facing business that survived Covid without lost sales.

Gork ,

Last month, the head of its US operations formally responded to the complaints with an open letter to customers, saying social media was painting an inaccurate picture. He said the average price of a Big Mac in the US, which is now $5.29 (£4.11), was up 21% since 2019 - roughly in line with the pace of inflation - and many items had risen by less.

Sure, place the blame on anyone but themselves.

$5.29 is ridiculous for a Big Mac, which is super tiny.

megopie ,

Especially because that’s just the sandwich, not a side and a drink. A combo meal is like 10.15$

I’m sorry but the quality of the food does not justify 10 dollars.

For comparison, I remember in Berlin not even 5 years ago I got a currywurst with fries and a drink for 3.60 € (about 3.90$), and in London I got an absolute mound of fish and chips with peas for like 6.50 £ (about 8$). Both of these I got as much or way more food than a Big Mac combo and they were much better quality.

roughly in line with the pace of inflation

Roughly in line with the terrible inflation of the past 5 years which has been primarily driven by corporate price gouging.
