It baffles my mind that people would pay $18 USD for that shit. I visited the US last year and while prices in general had definitely gone up since the last time I was there, there is absolutely no justification to pay $18 for McDonald’s. It’s crazy.
It is insane that a meal at Red Robin with bottomless fries is actually less expensive than McDonald’s… I literally don’t go to these types of restaurants unless there is some app deal because fastfood retail prices have gone insane.
Someone was able to bypass the paywall and said it’s some McDonalds at a rest stop in Connecticut, which is just an outlier like any gas station charging $1.50/gal more because they’re right off a busy freeway exit.
I live in Texas and had a sweet potato hash with pulled pork, kale, and a poached egg for lunch yesterday for $15. If $18 for a McDonald’s meal is true, people would be crazy to go there, there are a ton of more affordable and way better options.
In Australia it is $12.80 AUD for a large Big Mac meal which is $8.36 USD. For $18.5 USD I can get a much better burger and still a meal deal at either Five Guys or Grilld.
They kind of used to be. The big old play areas are mostly gone. One in my area even had an N64 in one of those bubble kiosks. Gone. I can’t imagine why kids these days still give a shit about Micky D.
Can’t read the article without effort, but I very much doubt numbers and the context is missing. Every one I’ve been to here on the East Coast USA has been about $12.
Not really a big Mac will feed ya for a half day and it’s a great quick snack meal if you are on the run. I make it a point to hit them up every once in a while for breakfast too. People hate on McDonald’s way too much.
The Big Mac set in Japan is ¥750 right now. Which converts to $5.07.
Does McDonald’s America think each restaurant is a theme park or something?
And Burger King is even cheaper.

I don’t know where they’re getting this $18 price from as my local McDonalds aren’t charging anywhere near that much for any of their meals.
Australia pricing. It’s around $12 in the states

You can get some proper good food for that price in a normal restaurant here in Austria.

Been a while since I have been now that kids are not interested in it, but that still translates to about to half the price of the US prices.

They look like this now. Pretty much the most inoffensively hostile environment imaginable.
Bland yet uninviting
It clearly sends the message, “Come on in, then get the fuck out as quickly as possible.”
Don’t forget to piss on the bathroom floor. Lord knows everyone else has.
It looks like a McMansion kitchen/dining.
I guess that’s why “Mc” is in the term.
Originally mcmansion meant they were like the low quality fast food of houses. But it seems like we have some convergent evolution happening now.

I don’t necessarily blame them as workers would have to go in and hose urine out of the play structure each night.
Nothing worth doing is easy, they say 🤣
That explains why I married such a difficult woman. lol
Coming in hot with the boomer jokes over here lmfao go lose a cold war, old ass 🤪
Cold war is what I call losing the fight for blankets to the wife and cat. lol
Nice lol
Yes.

Which is still way too much for fucking McDonald’s.

A big Mac will not feed anyone for half a day. It’s all bun.
It’s also awful
🤷♂️ gets me there
Same in the PNW.
I think they are/were trying to rebrand away from being a place to get cheap low quality burgers.
Well that does not work if you only increase the price.
Now they’re a place to get overpriced low quality burgers.
