    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.

    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?

    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.

        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…

        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.

    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.

    I guess Trump doesn’t help, but it’s also easy to point the finger. If eating at a fast food chain is no longer fast, cheap nor food (let’s be honest). Is it then strange that sales are declining?

      I support all the Trump-bashing in the world, but let’s not allow crappy big businesses to just blame everything on him. McDonald’s has a responsibility and they haven’t lived up to it. Blaming Trump for consumers not choosing your overpriced, shitty product is not reasonable.

    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.

    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.

    It’s been well over a decade since I have eaten there. I’d have to be desperate as fuck to ever eat there, like being in the middle of no where and mcd is the only place around.

    Never mind that they’ve been seeing a sales decline for longer than just the past 100 days, and their sales declines aren’t limited to just the US.

    Here in Australia their burgers have gotten so expensive, and so small - you’d be forgiven for confusing it with one of those gummy burger packets!

    At least Hungry Jacks (our version of Burger King) has largely still maintained the same size; the Whopper offers infinitely more value and the Angry variant (spicy fried onions and jalapeños) kicks ass!
