It’s literal garbage

Instant regret after I eat it, which is maybe every 6 months.. I immediately hate myself and then it tears my stomach up the next day

It’s like eating a science experiment

shite burgers, shite service, and terrible value. Shocker people aren't buying their burgers.

Hospitality industry as a whole got way, way to expensive and people are reacting as such. Anyone with a brain and thermometer can make better burgers than McDonald's at a far cheaper price.

Once a week we hit up their breakfast and use the McDs app. Usually costs around $5 for a couple of coffees and a couple of breakfast sandwiches.

That's pretty much the only time I eat there. We don't do dinner or lunch there because it's just not very good.

McDonald’s turned their backs on Americans when it Replaced real beef tallow with poison for their fries in 1990.

Used to go to Chili's every so often, but their service got so bad, I could not go back. They were rude and never had enough servers to handle even a handful of guests.

Well the experience is much worse than ten years ago.

Those damn kiosks are a pain in the arse. They only have one guy delivering kiosk orders. They've cut out the service help out the front and one guy doesn't get it. It is quicker and more convenient to order in drive thru. At least no kiosks.

In my area, they constantly run out of Diet Coke, or coke, or large cups, or medium cups.

Notice I haven't even gotten around to the ghetto types that run it if you try to eat inside.

McDonald's has made itself a pain in the arse to deal with.

They built a new McDonald's here in the past year or so. They have one register and about 5 kiosks and the little counter where you pick up your food. It does seem rather inefficient the few times I've been in there.

But McDonald’s also has said for the past several quarters that some customers — particularly low-wage earners — are revolting against what many see as bad value.


Why else would people willingly eat that shite if it wasn't cheap?

I haven't had McDonald's in 2024 other than two sausage biscuits.

I've been thinking about getting a box of McNuggets but I keep putting it off. I can eat Ramen noodles at home.

Damn, who would have thought that people would grow tired of paying $10 for a combo when the quality of the food sucks arse and the employees are ungrateful assholes???



Do better McDonalds





For my family, I can go to the grocery that’s right next to MCDs and get steaks and a side for $7 cheaper than what it costs to feed my family fast food. It’s fricking outrageous what they’re charging these days

Yep you can hit Logan’s and get a steak, side and salad for 15 bucks. No way I’m going to McDonald’s if for the same price I can get something at least reasonably good.

Perhaps it's the fact that their burger paddies are smaller than their sausage biscuit paddies plays a role? Last....and it is the last... visit was around 8:30 a.m. for biscuits & the person who cooks the biscuits was not there yet. So, no biscuits.
