This is an interesting topic, I’ve just started learning more about this myself.
Boo-fuckin-hoo. You vote and support like a fucking idiot then you should suffer the consequences.
Could have something to do with it costing as much as a sit down restaurant used to while tasting like it came from back water gas stations.
mcdonalds is shit food, if you’re charging more than a dollar for a sandwich, then it’s way too much.
Shocking idea it may perhaps be because
- McDonalds “food” tastes like shit
- McDonalds “food” costs a ton of money
- There are burger spots (especially local ones) that can match or beat McDonalds pricing for significantly better burgers
- People can not afford to spend obscene amounts of money of food
In Canada, teen burgers are 5$ right now where I’m at. I’ll take a Canadian teen burger for 5$ over the more expensive shit burgers from McDonalds.
What is a teen burger? Is it made from the meat of teens? Sounds exotic lol
The anti-American sentiment is true but that’s not the reason why sales are declining for them. It’s the rising price.
QPC with medium fry went up to $13.89 here. Insanity for a garbage burger (for the price.) I could see it for possibly $7 but even then, not worth it.
I haven’t eaten at a Mcdonalds since I was in elementary school because my entire family agrees that their food sucks.
I can only speak for myself, but the reason I don’t eat at McDonald’s is because their food is just very low quality. Their coffee is good, but everything else is just crap.
If I have a good session in the gym, I’ll hit McDonald’s for a couple mcdoubles and a coke. Shit hits so hard post-workout
Finally when we cut quality so much it hurts the amount of quantity you can sell. This is what people talk about when they say balance too bad piece of shit greedy pigs cant comprehend this humanity.
Shouldn’t have supported nazis
Wait, nobody ever told me about the ‘find out’ phase.
If this had been made clear I would never have fucked around!?!
Well, McDonald’s let Trump do a photo op there. Oh well.
I grew up with and worked at McDs in high school and college. It used to be a family place (play places, fun colors) it used to be a friendly place (you could have birthdays there, cashiers were nice, you’d run into people you know), it used to have prices that were reasonable/cheap.
It is none of those things anymore. Why on earth would I go there when there’s a burger place right across the road thar costs maybe $1 or $2 more and is actually good?
I think that has to do with them not being able to advertise to children anymore
Right? The McDs I remember growing up was a themed one. It was trying to be like a 50s soda shop. They had a model (or actual?) grill for a retro 50s car coming out of the wall. There were neon light decorations around the place and pictures of Elvis. They played rockabilly music instead of top 50 recent hits or whatever.
McDs these days reminds me of airport bathrooms.
Sure, blame anyone but yourself, Ronnie.
I still go becuase im lazy and its still like 2$ cheaper than alternatives, the app deals get worse every year and I used to go every other day now its 1-2 times a week, cooking does not hit the same I cook all the time, sometimes you want a specific flavor, texure, taste, etc. they know they ingrained themselves in my brain and they abuse it, ill never be free
Pour E621 on your food, put your fries into beef fat, and then put even more salt on it.
I already use msg, mcdonalds cheese does not equal any store bought cheese and I dont trust anyones tastebuds if they say it does, and its just the whole combination, I dont even like anything ar mcdonalds individually like their sauces suck unless its paired with mcdonalds
I’ve heard a claim going around that McDonald’s cheese is formulated to have a distinctive flavor so people will crave McDonald’s cheese specifically. I don’t have any source, so I’d say that’s more of an urban legend than an established fact, but you can find articles like this one that give less sinister sounding reasons for why their cheese has such a distinctive flavor:

They dont use beef fat and havent for like 25 years?
I was guessing that E621 was MSG, and I was correct. Monosodium glutamate is great, I keep a shaker of it on my spice rack.
For a while I practically lived off $5 at mcdicks. I would get 2 double cheese burgers, 2 mcchickens, and a large drink. $1 each. That’s was 10 years ago.
Then they started giving away free food just for using the app.
Then they had really good deals on the app.
Then they got rid of the dollar menu.
Then the only way to get cheap food was through the app.
Now even the prices and “deals” from the app are a scam for such shit food.
Now I make my own smash burgers in cast iron that are so much better you can’t even compare them to McShit and still cost half the price.
Quick tip that you may or may not remember. The “diced onion” is actually dried onion flakes, they dump them into a bucket and fill the bucket with water. You can do the same thing with onion flakes and a bowl in your kitchen, and that avoids having to cut fresh onions.
Maybe we should look at their corporate donations and tell them to go fuck themselves when we see who they donated to.
Yup. Am canukian, avoiding American however and wherever possible. Including McDonald’s
