Looks like McDonald’s is reaping what it sowed. Shit food at shit prices and no one wants to buy?! SHOCKER.

    I don’t understand getting to the drive-thru and seeing those prices and ordering the food anyhow. Why don’t you just tell the person, “actually, never mind. this is too expensive?”

    Go to a grocery store nearby and grab a deli sandwich and fountain drink. At least it’ll be fresh food.

      Yes, but then I’ll have to get out of my car like some sort of animal. /s

            The sarcasm was about the car and not about being “some sort of animal”?

            Was all that just so you could tell us you bike everywhere? /s

              No, the /s was to show I was mocking others who do this exact thing and have this exact thought process. Why would I care if people know I bike? I live in a city where biking is way more prevalent than cars.

      If you are pressed for time and/or have your hungry kids in the car then a couple of dollars isn’t a big deal. But that doesn’t mean those consumers are going to come back again after getting burned by high prices.

      Starbucks raised the price of my iced coffee and changed the recipe for the brew. I still ordered and drank it, but I have cut my visits from three or four times a week to only once in the last three months. This means they lost out on not only my drink revenue, but the revenue on what I would have ordered for my wife and kids as well.

      The ones near me have a concrete curb that prevents people from leaving. You can not order, but you are sitting there waiting for everyone else to get their food.

        So? You’re not forced to buy anything. You’re actually getting out quicker if you don’t. No shame in leaving. Vote with your money.
