    Joke probably worked better 10 years ago when McDonald’s wasn’t priced like gourmet dining.

      You people need to touch grass. McDonald’s isn’t nearly as expensive as you think it is.

        It’s overpriced for what it is. I can get a better meal for less money, faster from a deli or grocery store.

            I’m responding to you. Not OP.

            You said that McDonald’s “isn’t nearly as expensive as you think it is.”. I know exactly how expensive they are and I know exactly how expensive my other options are. I can get ready to heat up beef goulash for less money then a meal from McDonalds. McDonald’s only advantage is their hours at this point.

              Context matters as much as you just want to argue against the man.

              If you can find better options, fantastic. It ain’t gourmet or even mid sit down prices.

                Your arguing that McDonalds isn’t expensive is just you humblebragging. You tell people to touch grass as if it’s hard to find a McDonalds and people are only hating on them for the memes.

        Where I live it has gotten pretty expensive compared to other (non-chain) fast food options and even cheap restaurants.

          I very much doubt that’s actually the case if you look at prices closely. Prices went up, but not as much as the Internet would have you believe, and certainly not that much higher than other restaurants. Feel free to provide examples from your region but the US examples are cherry picked stores and are not representative of average prices.

          $20 will get you more than 2k calories.

            I mean I’m “cherry picking” where I fucking live. A Big Mac meal is over $10 in CA. An in-n-out equivalent meal (double double + fries + soda), a chain that was paying well above minimum wage for decades, is $9. And you get way more food from In-N-Out for that price. McDonald’s even has gotten rid of cashiers (unlike in-n-out) and they still can’t compete on price. I’m sorry but McDonald’s is just fucking greedy.

            That’s not the flex you think it is.

              It’s not a flex, it’s actual evidence to ops statement. McDonald’s isn’t more expensive than nice fast food, it’s not that much more than the real cheap fast food, and it ain’t even close to mid tier sit down much less a gourmet/Michelin star at $175/head.

              Y’all just pissed off I called out the hyperbole.

                You only care for calories? Get a small soda with unlimited refills. Easy.

                McDonald’s isn’t more expensive than nice fast food

                Depends on where you live, I’d imagine. Where I am, it is, or at least on par. And why would I choose the pricier (or same) crappier version?

                it’s not that much more than the real cheap fast food

                Except that’s its bracket. McDonald’s is supposed to be crappy (it is), cheap (it isn’t) fast food.
