There’s anti-American sentiment at home too
Yes but I think it’s that cost of goods increase and income doesn’t. It takes over an hour of work to feed one person with these prices.
I don’t know I’m a pretty anti-American American. Though that’s the least of my problems with Mackers
Maccas with a hard r? Where are you from?
America, unfortunately
I don’t know how we call ourselves free when we still have a Burger King
The reach of the Burger King extends the globe, but it is far from absolute rule. Most have democratic burger parliaments.
Also they eagerly price gouged people for their crap food, so no one is really hankering to go there anymore
As on old fart living down under, I am not anti American. I am anti current American government and toxic big corporation. Hating McDonald’s does not equal broadly hating the American people.
Thanks friend! I promise there are still some good ones left here 🥲

‘Anti-American sentiment’…
You stupid fuckers, the bigger problem is the Anti-McDonalds sentiment that’s everywhere, because your food is shit, your prices are outrageous, your restaurants are fake and ugly, and you don’t give a flying fuck about your customers or your employees!
I like to get my burgers and milkshakes from the small, locally-owned, independent, place near where I live. It is real food, cheaper than mcdonalds, a much wider selection, and just as fast. It is also a cozy, relaxed, and welcoming environment; rather than sterile, corporate, hostile, and rushed.
Love the way the local places tend not to have employees that have been so abused they lost all the light behind their eyes.
Maybe they shouldn’t have let a fascist use their brand image to appear similar to the working class?
They’ve had a fucking decade to distance themselves from trump, but they loved having him serve their trash in the White House…
Now they’re shocked people don’t like fascists?
Someone on Lemmy mentioned that he eats McD’s on the regs mainly because he’s less likely to get poisoned. If there’s millions burgers at the ready, more chance of catching a good one than a bad one
The ironic part of that is, the more you consume fast food, especially McD’s, the faster it poisons your body. If we could only convince him to eat 3x more of it, the world could be happier soon.
Preserving yourself for when you die. Maybe he’ll be museum ready
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
Have you seen the price of McDonalds recently? I’d rather miss a meal than get scammed like that. Fuck them.
Ain’t worth the squeeze. The food is real cheap and real expensive. Like, just get some ready-made meal at the grocery store it’s a better value and better for you.
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.
Don’t worry, they’ll increase prices and cut quality even more to make up for the difference in lost profit.
You can bet McDonald’s is doing horribly whenever they bring out a limited product or do a celebrity deal.
They’ve done mcrib, celeb deal, Minecraft movie promo, and now chicken strips are back.
Yeah. Red flags. They’re desperate.
Their current ‘2nd item for $1’ is an ok deal right now. But this makes me think that won’t last.
2 sausage muffins and 2 hash browns for like $7. Throw some hot picante salsa on there and you have deal. Without that deal? It’s like $13.
Yeah but how many years ago was it that an order of hash browns used to have two?? They’re just “giving a deal” on what used to be the baseline.
Oh I’m not disagreeing. It’s shit.
But even without the has browns, two sausage muffins for ~$3.50 is solid. It’s what I expect.
Sadly it’s the bottom barrel best deal going.
That actually is solid, I might even consider it as that was my go to breakfast item back in the day!
Yep! Adding a hashbriwn to each for ~$2.50 + $1.00 more is what makes it ~$7.
And for two sausage, hash brown, spicy salsa and cheese muffins? I mean damn.
But yeahz seeing all these promos makes me know this is in the cutting block.
They even stopped selling McHash in Sweden like over a year ago. The only thing that I’d have any desire to eat from their breakfast menu, and they kill it. I even asked their support why they killed it, and I got no real explanation.
I thought that it’s maybe to be able to clean out their deep fryer? Nah, as they still sell normal french fries during breakfast!
I think the McRib is just dependent on pork prices.
Nope.
You can bet McDonald’s is doing horribly whenever they bring out a limited product or do a celebrity deal.
Is this an American thing? In Japan and Singapore, they have seasonal limited specials every month or so. It’s not really a “when they’re doing badly” kinda thing.
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?
Sure, blame anyone but yourself, Ronnie.
Well, McDonald’s let Trump do a photo op there. Oh well.
Blame the current administration, where it is due
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.
