I don’t eat McDonald’s often but last time I got a hamburger there it seemed like it was the diameter of a hockey puck.


the dollar menu stuff here is between $3.50 and $5. I would bet a meal is $10 or close to it.

How about not eating at Mcdonalds, fat fricks.


Many people were eating there due to only being able to afford the cheapest place - not due to health or fat reasons.

their defense who could have known that doubling the labor cost



Except they didn't double it. On average workers went from 11 to 17 an hour.

And unless super-size me was wrong, McDonald's doesn't have to increase their food prices exorbitantly to meet this raise, they're just greedy fricks at the top that don't want to sacrifice, but hey, most of you guys are ok with that.

To add to this, minimum wage is increasing in several states. California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill in October that would increase minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hour by April 1, 2024. And many fast food chains like McDonald’s are using this as an opportunity to increase their prices once again. McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski announced in an earnings call that this price increase would be coming soon: “Certainly, there’s going to be some element of that that does need to be worked through with higher pricing,” he says.


Cause-and-effect. It's not that difficult to understand.

pretty sad that single moms can't rely on Mcdonalds to feed their kids anymore



Hell, if food costs get much higher they'll have to start marrying the fathers before popping out babies.

What's the world coming to?
