    Ever since McDonald's stopped toasting their buns and pre-making the meat and put them in a microwave I won't eat a McDonald's anymore! Oh yea the cost of a value meal went from (when I worked at McDonald's) 2.99 to what is today well to me the value of it is gone!

    An In-n-Out double double is cheeper than their big mac by almost a dollar. I can't stand their changing menu. I know it's a gimmick to get me to spend more.

      Even a Shell will serve you better than this joint hehe. Got the AAA batteries I needed and a decently sized chocolate and caramel candy bar for $5.40. Not a bad way to go out if going to a store isn't an option and delivery charges are through the roofs.

    A few years back, we had a sales tax price hike. YOU would not believe how many fast food restaurants raised their price by a few cents on the same day. Guess they figured we are too stupid to calculate the new sales tax backwards. They were right, non of my co workers noticed.

    You can't blame restaurants for your lack of financial self-discipline.
    If you manage to be fooled you're to blame for getting more than what you need when you enter their doors it's all about what you want.
    And as a Cashier is McDonald's my managers always want me to upsell, but I always downsell because I will not change my integrity for no company, I was hired to work there's not scam. They upsold the Filet and I tried it to see if it was good, it was not surprising at all. So now I tell people "McDonalds wants me to upsell items in this establishment would you like to try the Filet? Personally I think it's not anything surprising but if you would like to try it" if they say no then it's the end of it pay. If McDonald's wants to sell they need to make better stuff nothing in the menu is special or good, it's all Mid to low tier😮.

    McDonalds is struggling for a reason. They aren't fit for the modern generation. Its menu is limited and has not changed much over the past 30-40 years. They have no relatively healthy options, are vegetarian/vegan unfriendly, gluten allergy unfriendly, kosher unfriendly, and pretty every mainstream fad unfriendly. Whether you like it or not almost every restaurant is picking up on these trends and thats why they are becoming successful.

    The worst trick, the App says I came to the franchise earlier when I wanted the discounted promoted food (come back in 30 minutes) when I never did.
    This never happens at other fast-food restaurants...and now I generally skip Micky D's even if they're the closest to my home.
    Btw, the chain has the rudest and stupidest employee's with loads of mistakes compared to Carl's Jr and Wendy's which get my order right!

Just cuz they put a 2 at the beginning of $2.99 doesnt mean im falling for it.

    in the good ole days the 2 for 2 bigmac or 2 for 2 filet o fish was great. no i'm not spending 5.99 for a big mac that isnt even big anymore or a filet o fish
    with its crappy third of a slice of cheese hanging over the side to trick you into thinking you got a whole slice of cheese which isnt even real anymore.
    their value menu is a joke today!, guess where i dont eat anymore? you wont be leaving satisfied unless you drop at least $20!
