    No, it’s because they increased prices dramatically while both quality and food quantity were drastically reduced. Then gaslighted us again for noticing.

        I wish this was true where I live.

        Big Mac combo - $10.49 (sometimes 8.99 when they have coupons)

        Any local pub ~ $14-$20 for burger and fries, $6-$8 for pint of beer, plus tip of course, which is never do at McDonald’s.

        Low end uses mostly happy hour and special prices, high end is just normal prices

          For the price of their shitty 2 cheeseburger meal, I can get a really good burger and onion rings from Freddie’s.

            Freddie’s is a lot more expensive than McDonald’s in my area, though also much higher quality

            $7 still gets you a large pepperoni at Little Caesars.

            It sucks, true, but so does the Mcburnt ass you were about to eat. Twice the trash, half the cost.

              $7 is a whole meal of rice, bean, beef stew and tortillas, cooked daily and fresh at most Hispanic supermarkets.

              Laziness makes you eat shit. There are better options than fast food.

              I’d rather buy a frozen pizza, but anymore those are even getting more expensive than little Caesars. Even Red Baron is up to $4.50is depending where you go. I used to buy 5 of those fuckers for $10.

                Not even going to beat around the bush on this, but the line must be made in the sand. Red Baron is based, decent humble pie. It does not suck. I frequently buy their brick oven crust supreme when I’m just not feelin cooking.

                  Same, red Baron has the single best pepperoni I’ve ever had. I have to be careful about snagging a frozen one, or two off before it goes in. Cause I’ve gone overboard before and left myself with like 4 'ronis for a whole pizza.

      Also McDonalds thinks the pinnacle of the restaurant experience is signing up at a kiosk and coming to the window when they call your number. Uh yeah, I want my overpriced shit food to come to me the same way I get service at the DMV. Sign me the fuck up!
