    Get fucked McDonald’s, raising prices every year on cheap, crappy, unhealthy food. Get fucked, you literally voted for this. Fuck all the way off and enjoy your ride. Cunts.

    I blame the $6 mcmuffins and $4 hash browns.

    For the price of McDonalds, you can go somewhere with decent food these days. The o ly reason to go there is if you are in a super rush, and even then, c-stores are putting out increasingly good food these days that can be grabbed in 2 minutes.

    Who the fuck is still spending money at McDonald’s in 2025?

    Can someone get it through the mcds executive heads that they fucking suck?

    I love how they had that cute little virtue signaling with that fucking shit gibbon of a fake president and now they’re like oh it’s consumer Spending. Let me tell you as a retail business it’s them.

    They felt the need to signal to maga and they’re going to get what they get because maga are fucking broke and only have money to buy Shitty Chinese made red hats And fake American flags.

    Dumb fucks.

      Right? It’s absolutely part of why I don’t spend money there. The other part being shit food that’s too expensive, but letting this assclown promote your brand turned about half the country off of your products hard.

    I stopped eating there a year ago when I found out they were charging me about 50% more for not using their app.

      the one here remodeled awhile back to basically a drive-thru, door dash, and mobile app kitchen. dine-in and take-out is a nuisance to them. 10-15 minutes to get an order taken, that long again to get it. the counter and dining room have been designed to absolutely discourage those customers from even wanting to come inside at all.

        The new ones around me are all like that. No drink station, no condiments, not even a napkin dispenser. The kitchen, which used to be open so you could see the activity, is blocked by a wall, so you have no idea what is happening back there. There is NEVER anyone at the registers, and if you want to order, youbhave to wait until someone hidden in the back happens to look out and notice that someone is waiting to order.

        Its obvious that they are getting ready to go fully robotic soon, and when they do, you wont have the ability to see how few people are in the back.

          This one doesn’t even have a kiosk or a lobby at all though. It’s really fucking weird. Nowhere to sit and eat your food at all. Strictly drive thru and Uber eats.

      if i’m paying culver’s prices. i’m going next door to culvers. service can be a little slow but they cook to order (not ‘assemble and reheat to order’) and is always a ‘10’, food is usually too–and unlike mcdonalds’ perpetually-‘broken’ ice cream machine, culver’s never runs out of custard, ever.

      mcdonalds’ only attraction was a low price–and that advantage has been gone for at least a decade.

      Yep, at least in my area McDonalds is slow, expensive and the foods is consistently crappy. About the fast food place I have a lower opinion of is the local Wendys, because they haven’t mastered the skill of “Let the buns from the fridge reach room temperature before serving them to customers.” A lukewarm patty on a refrigerator cold bun isn’t very appealing.

    This is only half bullshit. Quality is through the bottom level of hell on every metric at McDonalds. The ONLY reason I go is because they have a kids playplace. The app is essentially required, but sucks ass for usability. They took the soda machines out of most of them so free refills are basically gone, the prices are rediculous and the food sucks. Also, people are tightening belts because Trump (WHO MCDONALDS SUPPORTED) is an idiot.

        At least here in Los Angeles, many of the parks are unsafe for children. I found a knife in the playground last year.

          Go help clean them up, then.

          Done that plenty, it makes a huge difference and as people notice they come and help out too.

          Ya know how many toilets I’ve helped dragged out of local streams and creeks? Way too fucking many.

            If your kids are playground aged, you probably don’t have a ton of free time/babysitter money to be doing that. You could bring the kids, but I’d rather not have my small children handling used needles and condoms (just a few of the delights I’ve found on my local playground)…

              I can think of a million completely valid reasons that may prevent someone from helping improve their community.

              But still something that we need to find the time to help improve our community and that time needs to come from our jobs, not our family, so steal as much time from your employer as you can.

              That’s just how people are sometimes.

              I’ve also helped fished out:

              • enormous dildos
              • car engines
              • stoves
              • tires

    Most national/international fast food places seem to have looked at the “good, fast, cheap” principle and decided the answer is D) None of the above.

    Have they been getting by on inertia and nostalgia in recent history? I could be an incredibly unlucky person, but all my experiences with these places have just been bad, bad in the past 5 or so years. I excused it a bit during the height of covid, but there’s been time to work things out and they just haven’t even bothered.

    I’m not exactly their target audience, since I rarely get food at fast food places, but as it stands, if I were going to get fast food, the whole Trump McDonald’s circus show has turned me off to that brand entirely. Burger King is a no-go after getting incredibly sick from their food. Taco Bell just completely gave up on themselves. Wendy’s is so expensive now that I can’t justify it anymore even as a guilty treat while traveling. I’d rather pack some ham sandwiches in a mini-cooler and make do with that.

      Not only is the food bad, expensive, and slow, but it’s also unhealthy. They fuck up orders constantly and the dining area in unpleasant to be in due to the incessant beeping. That business has literally no redeeming qualities.
