I’m doing my part helping put McDonald’s out of business. They aren’t cheap anymore and somehow the quality has gotten worse. I went from going once a week many years back to once a month then a few times a year to never. Every time I go I’m disappointed.
That was the reason I stopped going to Carl’s Jr years ago. Got to be about the same price as a real restaurant, albeit their burgers were still pretty big and not terrible. But when your best thing used to be advertised as being as good as a sir down burger but for only $6 and it goes up to the same price as a sit down burger, I might as well go get the sit down burger.
I had lunch at Booger King last year for the first time in a long time. The whopper and fries were actually surprisingly good, freshly cooked and tasty. But god damn did I feel like shit after eating it. I suppose it was all the salt. And it was $16, and that was without a drink even.
Cost to buy a tub of good vanilla ice cream is like $10-$12 cost to buy milk $6-$7. Cost of a large vanilla milkshake at Mcdonalds $5 buy two at the same time freeze the second because they freeze well, and I’m still ahead. Also soft serve ice cream makes better milkshake than scoop.
You’re not saving money on the gallon of milk if it just goes to waste. And they didn’t say soft serve was higher quality than scoop for a milkshake, they said it was better. I took it to mean the taste and texture is better to them.
I totally get that! When I visited the most was when they had the dollar menu and I honestly used it to survive back then. These days it’s the app and only sometimes but same thing.
You couldn’t beat $3.75 for 2 sandwiches and a small fry when I had $20 to my name that had to somehow last me the work week!

It’s not even really any more expensive to go to a proper sit-down restaurant and order actual real food, anymore.

It makes me feel ill. The entire following day I feel tired and bloated.

And for what? A cold ass burger that’s super small and tastes different?
I’m doing my part too! Haven’t been to a McDonald’s since 2024, and working hard to convince everyone I know to stop going there too.
Yeah, it’s disgusting now.
I can’t believe the prices, they are on par with local hamburger joints that sell food that is 4-5 times better.
I’m doing my part because they won’t sell fries a vegetarian can eat
I go for only one thing - a Sausage Egg McMuffin, maybe once a week. That’s all.
They screwed up my last two orders. One didn’t have an egg, and one didn’t have the sausage or cheese.
Is it that hard?
Pay the lowest possible wage and get the lowest possible effort.
Yeah I only hit them up for a large milk shake to blend with wild blueberries at home. Because I’m to lazy to make my own milkshake
It’s icecream and milk in a blender, and you’re already putting it in a blender… What?

You think they’re buying the good stuff to put into a McDonald’s shake? Also you think they’re putting in a whole gallon of milk?
Your logic is….fascinating. Just admit to yourself that you feel lazy sometimes. It’s ok. We all do it.

I think I’m doing my part but the extreme discounts in the app every two weeks mean I’m still visiting. It is a nice break from ramen.
