McDonalds is DESPERATE To GET PEOPLE BACK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- Now that customers have been walking away from eating at fast food restaurants they are making desperate attempts to bring customers back in offering meals practically at a loss in hopes to drive sales higher. If the economy was strong, and people could afford higher prices at fast food restaurants they wouldn't have to do any of this...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Michael, could you talk on savers cards found with APPS that give you pennies on the dollars from scanning your receipts? Thank you
Great video series Michael along with your coverage of property values.😊
Much longer than necessary. Points on Macdonald's are repetitive.
do your homework on ev's please, its not $84 to fill up the tank, unless its the Tesla truck
Stay at home. Cook at home. Eat at home. Read a book a week at home. Your life will be infinitely better.
Great advice!
I would recommend meditations of Marcus Aurelius

What books should I read
Never buy EV.
Not only did they lose customers due to a price hike, the food is poisoning society too.

Haven’t ate at McDonalds in years. Don’t plan on ever eating there again.
eh; as long as the big mac taste good; ill have one now and then
Nope 👎 all their food is really bad for you
Never again.
now just apply that to apple, google, amazon etc and repaet!
McD is garbage food.. at ANY PRICE.
ONE McDouble or Double Cheeseburger and one is set for the day. It really is enough.
💯
Exactly
Agreed! They do not use real beef.
MacD is almost not food at all. Stay away. There are better fast food choices out there.
When people are paying $15-20 at fast food for a meal...they're just going to decide to go to a standard restaurant instead.
Exactly I had a grass fed burger and a small side at sizzlin Greens for that price. Quality food and good service. I would rather go out rarely and have quality food.
@@sheriabdulkader9990 the problem at restaurants is that they have added service charges, “health” fees, one of them added a “small business” fee!
Yep, and it’s less hassle when the waitress gets your order wrong. With a fast food place, you either have to go inside or get in line to get your correct order, and odds are, the fast food place will spit in your food for calling them out.
The regular restaurants are now 30+ for a single meal. This issue is hitting everyone.
Golden Coral replaced fast food restaurants for me. $15 and some change for all you can eat buffet. I dig right into the BBQ chicken, pulled pork BBQ, Potato Salad, and corn bread. Then I get a bunch of pumpkin pie
Sadly, the food in that McDonald's deal isn't even worth $5 to begin with... the quality is awful these days.
It used to be 1 dollar for double cheeseburger, why pay 5 dollars now for 1 double cheeseburger?
@@psylee8687yeah that price you speak of hasn’t been a thing since I was a kid… I’m 50 now
@@psylee8687still was and always has been garbage food anyway
I remember 99cent hamburgers. They were crap but when you drunk and got the munchies....Hey, what the hell?
True. Not worth $5 but I'd rather pay $5 than $9 for horrible food. But what do I know?
Yeah, im cooking more at home. I also would rather spend my money at a locally owned family restaurant
That’s how I am.
Don’t care for chain restaurants.
❤ Mom n pops places
STUPID CEO's think they can RIP PEOPLE OFF and no one will care. ANYONE KNOWS that once you change someones habit its hard to get them back and once you DESTROY YOUR BRAND its DEAD. These customers are making their own lunches, bought thermos, lunch bags, plastic bags, are enjoying saving gas by eating in the pffice, being more productive and not burning through rain or heat to go out to crappy food. . THEY SCREWED THE POOCH they many of these customers arent coming back to these STUPID GREEDY CROOKED CEOS think that they can just ROB their customers and not have a back lash.
The hell with "family" or ANY restaurants - STOP 🛑 eating at ANY restaurant that expects you to tip! If enough people do this the restaurants would be forced to pay their help much better wages. This whole tipping SCAM has got to GO!
I tried shopping at mom and pop stores but its verry expensive..
I've stopped going to McDonald's about 6 months ago and not planning on ever going back there again anytime soon. Started to learn how to cook and found out I actually like my own cooked food
I can’t believe people are not learning to cook during childhood.
Blame the education system for cutting home ed classes.
Thank God for the internet and its plethora of cooking guides
@@Hazard598 education system? What are parents doing?
just redid my kitchen after a flood. no one can cook a burger like me. thick juicy fresh. fresh deli roll. american cheese. lettuce tomato. noting like it. I like peppers and onions but they take soooo loonnnggg to cook.
@@subaruamazon Sounds delicious. Start the peppers and onions early, or cook them on another day altogether and reheat. It’s good to have them on hand to eat with any meat.
.
$5 for toxic garbage?!?!
Nope👎
Correct
Damn Right More people are waking up
They lost people years ago and they're never coming back. McDonald's had a good run but the quality is gone. Have some pride and fold with some dignity. Nobody will miss you..
Since when McDonald had quality? That goes for all fast food restaurants, nothing is quality.
McDonald's is a corporation; understood. However, it provided employment and food. I will not celebrate its demise or fall.
I think many of their customers were in a 'habit' and the price rises have broken this habit - for many this won't return
lol, McDonald’s folding, right…
Lol Titanic sink. Right.
I used to work at mcdonalds, quit back in june 2023 due to the mental abuse and false accusations against me. My coworkers were all friends and family so they were biased against strangers like me and all sorts of other shit I won't get into. I would see the prices rising by 10 or 20 cents every fucking week, for every month I worked there. It was just a slow creep in hopes people don't realize prices are going up. I would have customers say 'hey this used to cost this why does this cost so much now?' All the time. I felt horrible charging absurd prices for such shit food that was literally killing me to eat. I had no other place to go for a half hour lunch, it was either eat there for free or eat nothing since I didn't have time to go get food elsewhere. I started bringing my own food to avoid the horrible stomach pains and agony McD food was causing me. The food is toxic to eat and costs an arm and a leg, I don't care how 'convenient' it is, fast food is not going to last in this economy. Especially if they keep firing people and replacing them with AI, most of the money they make comes from employees and their families along with poor people, but if you price out your own employees and poor people, then you're going to die off. Your own fault.
You hit every magot rant with that rant, let me guess you are a strumpet 😁
exactly
@@half-breed what?
Hold your ground and keep boycotting. This isnt $5 worth of food; we need to send our message louder.
It's a bullshit deal
1. Of food cost
"HELL NO BURGERS DONT FLOW"!!😂
It's like a happy meal for 5 dollars.
We used to get coupons for a lot of the fast food spots around my area. Now it’s being almost 4 months with no more coupons. I’m boycotting them by cooking at home!
Finally people are fighting back and saying we're done with this. Keep it going!
I agree it’s a good thing. People voting with their wallets.
It's because they have no choice.
bitcoin fixes this! what is going on in the supermarkets is banks printing money, they cant print bitcoin!
I stopped eating at McDonald's when they raised there prices. Why should I go back. No loyalty to the people 😢
So did we - not even for coffee.
Don’t cry over McDonalds bruh…it’s a corporation that solely exists to make profit off of you, at any cost. Including your wallet, and especially your health.
Forget about the prices...concentrate on the QUAILTY OF FOOD ITS KILLING PEOPLE AND MAKING BIG PHARMA SUPER RICH...ITS A CYCLE DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLE SICK AND PHAMA COMES IN WITH MEDS...AMERICA NEEDS TO CHANGE AND ONLY THE PEOPLE CAN MAKE THAT CHANGE..
They should just lower a few dollars off at least the sandwiches. Then have sale months for different food items.oh well healthy meals will keep people fuller then McDonald’s that leaves you hungry after a short time.
Lol why do they owe you any loyalty?
As long as they use seed oils, I will never step foot in these restaurants ever again. LOOK UP THE DANGERS OF SEED OILS! Do not eat at these places
Bang on!
Seed oils are in everything now. It's basically food warfare.
Damn seed oils!
Oxolates, noooooooo!!!!!!!!

Frozen junk food laced with chemicals at Donalds is 100% heart attack in the making. Reality.
Remember the pink slime? That was gross.
French fries are the same as smoking 🚬
The thing is when you're poor and hungry, you'll eat anything that doesn't taste awful.
I'm old now, but when I was a struggling young man and not making a lot of money, fast food was a good way to fill your stomach for cheap. Remember Ramen noodles for meals because they were $0.20 each? I remember cooking up some stew meat and mixing it with my Ramen noodles 30 years ago.
@@Shadow_Banned_Conservative red meat is great for you. and the mcdonald’s you ate back then might have been using beef tallow as their cooking oil (depending on how far back we’re talking) which was great
@alexanderkennedy2969 nah. you’re overlooking the many amazing farmers nationwide who make healthy food
we stopped going a couple years ago for two reasons. Price and anywhere we went for fast food the service / employee social skills was horrible and the order was always wrong.
Not interested in McDonald's food, it's garbage, and I don't drink soda anymore or eat fries. I cook at home better quality and quantity than anything sold in 80% of the best restaurants. $70 gets me 3+ fantastic meals at home or one good meal at a good sit down place.
How are fish eggs beef cheese pickles onions tomatoes lettuce buns muffins bagels steak french fried potatoes hash browns oatmeal pancakes great coffee orange juice apple slices garbage food? how much does it cost you to go out and buy those things?
3 meals for $70? That must include ribeyes.
I eat a salad and a ham sandwich now no moor fast food
Thank you for your videos.
I eat steak and such,fresh from the farm,I eat cheaper than you.
Our hospitals highly depend on fast food restaurants. And Americans do not let them down! 😮
Please explain
We don't really care if McDonald's goes under. Ray Kroc built the McDonald's business model in the 1960s. Most of the franchises don't even own the land underneath their own buildings. McDonald's corporation makes most of the profits while franchise owners go broke paying $15 an hour or more. To me, McDonald's represents corporate greed at it's finest. It's really a pyramid scheme. The restaurant owners make chicken feed. The corporation bags the cash. That's why I can't stand corporate America. It's all about more money for the executives and the stock holders.
Invest in baby boomer health issues
😂😂😂😂😂😂 McDonald's fuel the heart attack, diabetes, cholesterol, cancer healthcare system.
@Joce123 it's not good for your health to eat french fries fried in canola oil, natural flavors, sucralose,gmo food...
It's all leading to diabetes and cancer!
Prices are only high because the ceo wants hundreds of millions for some reason.
You have no idea of how a business runs. The root of the problem is, having to pay their employees so much.
@@paulcollopy4043what about other states where they pay a dollar or 2 over minimum wage lol
@@paulcollopy4043in n out has paid their employees nearly 20 an a hour for years and still super affordable.
@@thegoldenrooster8376
Minimum wage is not the same in every state. McDonald’s advertised raising employee pay rates and compensated by raising prices even more.
And now they are experimenting with Ai tech to replace paid workers for even more profits.
McDonalds messed up the model that actually made them successful
Lol, why do the employees have to starve while the company makes record profits, and the ceos are making 20 mil a year. Cut that down to 200k and suddenly you’re making 19.8 mil more in profits. Seems like you’re right, there are employees that make way too much. Except that they’re all located in the C suite.
I'll never eat out at McDonald's again.
Liar
👍
People know SO LITTLE of what these stores do for the people who need these jobs.
Its also an on the job training center for kids from age 14 and up. First jobs, they supply a recognized GED for any kid who dropped out if they want for free. They supply management classes and a graduate diploma in business management for free. A major step up that starts at about fifty grand per year. millions of kids out there work for McDonalds. and about the food they say is bad? How are fish eggs beef cheese pickles onions tomatoes lettuce buns muffins bagels steak french fried potatoes hash browns oatmeal pancakes great coffee orange juice apple slices garbage food? how much does it cost you to go out and buy those things? Everything they used is timed, everything has a sticker on it for last date of use. Anything over time in the sandwich area is tossed, and at shift change all the food left over can be taken home by KIDS or adults for their kids to help feed their families, who in a lot of big cities little siblings go to bed hungry.

Went out to McDonalds recently and *everything* has taken a hit. Quality is plummeting and things like buns just taste stale and sad, like you're biting into the cheapest bread they could manufacture. There's literally zero reason to go to mcdonalds, even if their prices return to something reasonable, you're still eating cardboard.
I was a fan of McDonald’s until they tried gouging us through high prices selling the lowest quality, chemical filled products possible. Doesn’t taste good anymore. I’d rather eat nothing if that’s all there was for me to eat.
FR, like if they are going to raise prices, at least put better ingredients.
Was garbage in the 80’s when I was a kid and still is. Never knew of a time it wasn’t filler food for drunk people fresh out of the club or bar
Ate a couple of split chicken breast for lunch and dinner for like $7.

McDonald's is a REAL ESTATE COMPANY. The food is really secondary.
Shirtless, you are correct; McDonald's owns most all the land where their stores are located. They lease back the building to the franchisee, burgers and fries are just icing on the cake
Someone saw, "The Founder" movie!
@@StuggleIsSurrealI saw that. He seemed like an asshole.
Actually, look into Red cross ❌️ they literally own the most realstate!
Just like Keller Williams is a training company. Real estate is secondary.
Just looked up my stats, I only charge at home. I owned an old 2013 Tesla Model S I inherited from my dad. We use it as our primary family vehicle and put about 10k miles in the past year. For one YEAR, I used 5230 k Wh and the total cost was? $258, gas would have been $2462. So electric works if you charge at home and have cheap electric. Do the math before any purchase as you always say! Also only cost about $500 to install the charger, have to do that math too because it could be thousands. My wife and I enjoy your videos. They always make good common sense. Thanks.
You inherit the car bruh! So do the math again if you had paid for the car. The amount you think your saving on gas vs electricity, is paid upfront when an electric car is purchased. An electric car is about 2 times more expensive than a comparable gas powered vehicle.
The EVs suck a mustang Mach E Hahahaha
I used to work as a BOSE sound contractor. I would also install intercom systems in fast food places. After a few installs I basically stopped eating at all fast food places. If people were allowed to peek above the ceiling tiles they would never eat at them again too. Animals in the ceiliing are coated in an a thin layer of grease (from the air) as they slowly break down into dusty peices, free to blow onto uncovered foods and containers. If you love your body, just dont.. All of this on top of it being man made chemicals forced into the shape of 'food'.. I feel sorry for the people that work in these places. The grease builds up in their lungs, skin, body. It coats everything eventually.
Eeww
McDonalds would charge extra for petrified insect proteins, that drips on their fries!
Your right I remember I was 20 years old and I started just breaking out with rashes working at Wendy's.
I worked at Burger King for 2 years in my late teens. No matter how much I showered I always smelled like French Fries.
That’s probably when the nastiest things I’ve ever heard

Wendy's has the same deal for $5.00 & if you ask for it, they still have the (Four for $4.00 combo) which
only lets you have a small cheeseburger, with the combo! The first thing that all the chain restaurants must
do is drastically lower their drink prices! I mean, $2.19 for a small soda, that must cost them $.20 at most!
It will never happen on drinks. Drinks are any restaurant’s biggest profit item. That’s why I have always only ordered water in a restaurant I’d rather have cheaper food items and ask for a cup of ice water….its free and healthier.

I saw gas on sale here in Edmonton for $1.34 , six months price war.
We do wonder how you do it in Canada. And that carbon tax!! It’s rediculous!!
of course $8 a gallon is in CAD which is about $6 USD, which is still ridiculous. I live on the Vancouver Island. Axe the tax, vote conservative (Provincially and Federally) our swamp is just as bad

That's $5 meal special is only for 30 days and then prices will go up higher than they were before.
To make up for the kindness thet bestowed upon the peasants
Yep, it’s a scam
And then everybody will stay away again.
So why bother? Surely there are better competitors? Price-gouging much?

@@jmz2144 That's true, it usually shows up on a screen, from the few times I've been to McDonald's drive-ups.
That's not what it means. That's the max speed of charging is 150KW/h. Most cars today have 75KW. Average charging cost are 28 cents per KW. It took me $30 to fill up a Mustange Mach E on a fast 150KW/h charger.
Also his looking at guess price. Most of us know you need to sign up to get the best price.
Most cars today can charge at 250 on up. The new EV3 charges at 400 while the new Envision charges at 150.
Most people charge at home and many charging stations are about 44cents and most batteries are only 50-75 kw.

kW is a measure of power and kWh is a measure of energy. A typical EV that can go 250 miles has a 65 kWh battery means that is will that around $38 to go 250 miles at this fast charger. Charging at home would cost about $10 (@ $.15/kWh) to fill out a car which goes 250 miles.

Exactly nobody is boycotting McDonald’s in numbers that will matter - dumbest thing I’ve heard in awhile. Like the Target soccer moms, they boycotted for like 3 days. 0 integrity just whining on social media without doing anything
Not here in Orlando
because normies are cattle
It's amazing how dimwitted the general public is
6:55 150 kW is the charging speed and not the battery capacity. In most cases, you will not be able to put more than 70 kWh into your EVs battery which means you'd pay approx. 35-40 $ for a full charge. That's actually not too bad imo.
Still more per mile$ than gas
People don't know the real story behind these so called carbon neutral cars. By the time they mine the lithium, which is an ecological disaster in and of itself, not to mention the exploitation of the people they hire to work in these mines, to refining the lithium, then to produce the batteries, you break even at about the 70,000 mile mark with a gas powered vehicle. You never really do though because it takes energy to produce the electric they use and the vast majority of that electricity is produced burning fossil fuels. It's a scam. Then, as if that's not enough, what happens to those batteries when they die? They can't be recycled as of yet. I'll say it again, what a scam. I just happened to stumble upon your videos and I live em. I watch them all the time. Keep up the good work! Nothing better than an informed public.
Mosquito, you are so right! Just the fossil fuel consumption to keep them charged should indicate their inability to be feasible! That is, according to the climate change mongers...
EVs are a junk technology just like wind and solar energy. Nothing renewable about any of these technologies.
None of that really matters. I own a 2012 gas subcompact I paid $15k for in 2014 and like new costing me only around $100/year to run after $1400/yr. insurance.

But EVs are coming in the future regardless.
For me they are too expensive and the vampire drain is an issue since I don’t drive that much.
@@blackworldtraveler3711 Most manufacturers are now backing away from them. Only Chinese brands are pumping them out. They don;lt have the tech to make regular cars and they have no refining capacity so they MUST go all electric. See?

Michael, I live in California. I went to McDonald's just to see how much I would pay for just one fish sandwich and it came out to $5.16. I didn't order anything else ..not even a water. If one sandwich is $5 .16 I don't see how McDonald's is going to put out a $5 meal.
One quarter inch of " white" fish flakes...not worth it!
They are forcing you to use the app to get the discount... $5 for the meal only if you use the app. The difference for McDonalds is selling all your tracking data points. How often do you use instagram, do you use google maps, what other fast food do you buy, male or female, age, renting or owning, how much did your employer direct deposit into your linked bank account, and so on. The more data points they acquire the more they can profile and predict your patterns, the more your data is worth.
never fish deal on mc app. i only eat that 2 x year.
most of inflation is merely corporate greed
There’s opportunities in inflation.
If by corporation, you mean our federal government, yes.
yea your right the mom pop shop are corporate greed that is why there prices rose, do you think before speaking? its all government and federal reserve, you love "FREE MONEY"
The federal reserve printed 20 to 40 percent of the total dollar supply, ever printed, since 2020. Corporate greed is just the current administration's attempt to pass the blame. This is the result of poor monetary policy by all "leaders".
Price gouging
Long ago they've told me at the University: "use electricity only if you cannot use anything else". I understand when a rich person buys an EV as another cool toy or people have to do that if crazy government artificially made gas more expensive than electricity; otherwise it makes no sense.
You are supposed to charge your car at home, charging in public is extremely rare for most ev owners 😂 this dude doesn't research shit for ev's 😂
Average cost at a Tesla charging station is .25/kwh, so 22 bucks for 250 miles of range. That brand you're at is ripping you off.
exactly, tesla prices are about $.24-.30 depending on the location. at home I pay $.14-.19.
Still a lot given the cost of the car, depreciation and 20k replacement batteries after 8-10 years. Ev cars are disposable. My truck is 7 year old and I have 70k miles on it. Can’t imagine a car where the batteries will go kaputs and they cost 2/3 of what I paid for my truck 5 years ago.
@@knight7866 unless the battery just falls off a cliff at 3-5 more years, it’s running totally fine after 5 years. there’s no need to replace the batteries
Tesla cars are the safest. Wouldn't drive anything else. Stop believing all the lies.
Yeah, 56 cents per kwh is extremely high. I have had an EV for nearly 6 years and I don't think I have ever encountered such a high cost for charging. I usually pay between .20/kwh and .30/kwh for public charging. At a charging station that charges the much more reasonable and average price of .25/kwh, the total would have come out to $37.50 rather than $84 as Mr. Bordenaro calculated in the video. Also, 150 kwh is an unusually large battery pack. The 2024 Tesla Model 3 long range has a battery capacity of 82 kwh. So 82 kwh at the rate of .25/kwh comes out to $20.50, which is what the price would be if you charge from completely empty (0%) to completely full (100%). $20.50 is much lower than the cost of gasoline Mr. Bordenaro put in his Jeep, as discussed in the video.
They raised prices way more than inflation. They deserve to lose their customers, which they have.
What makes it worse is that the service at these fast food restaurants has gotten much worse too! The service at these places are horrible!
The items in that $5 meal aren't even worth $5. A McChicken was literally $1 before they started price gouging their customers and it wasn't even enough to fill you up. McDonalds ain't worth a dam on a river these days.
Here here order in the court 😮
What a scam !
Tyson spicy chicken patties and fresh bread with pickles is quick and easy at home. Less than a buck each.
The Mom & Pop food trucks and carts are actually taking advantage of the skyrocketing food prices by offering even cheaper and better made food near these stores.
I agree... Taco truck down the road from McDonald's is booming and no wonder $12 bucks for two steak tacos and rice and beans yummy
Only two tacos? What a rip off!
They are unregulated much of the time, especially the pop up tents on the corner. My friend got a piece of glass in her tamale, and the food was in the blowing sand in the wind! What quality all this food is crap! You never can know what's in it. Until you get food poisoning!
@@MsCGarnica I took my mom and dad to a very high end restaurant in Phoenix and my mom took a bite of salad and spit out a large piece of glass.... sooooo
@@MsCGarnica still tastier and safer than McDonald's
Stick together. If you don't buy it the price drops as you can clearly see. This goes for everything. Don't fill up at the gas stations, just buy what you need. Spread the word and watch how fast they lower the price.
and the business goes out of business. price drops LOL. on mcdonalds LOL.
@@ChickenMcThiccken Good then they go out of business because it's a low wage job not helping anything and bringing down wages and standards in the community plus selling poison making kids fat.
Yeah I just got a survey from Toyota asking if I'd ever buy a electric vehicle, big giant NO NEVER.
I bet you will when thats all there is
@@davidgray1515I will ride my horse around to do my errands before I get an electric vehicle better for the environment than those garbage vehicles anyway
I don’t want one even if it was free
@davidgray1515 wont happen, no one is buying them
Never.😎
My HOA sent out amended bylaws to increase the HOA Fees for homeowners who own an ev! The concern is the power grid to our neighborhood will brown out or black out if ev's are charged in our homes.
Just eat at home. Fast food is gross.
Now just apply that to Apple, Google, Amazon etc, and repeat!
Gosh I remember as a teenager 29c and 39c hamburgers / cheeseburgers. I think they did it on Tuesdays.
The good Ole 90s
In the mid 80’s I remember a promotion that was 10 cents hamburgers and 15 cents cheese burgers!
I went to one McDonald’s store and they charged me .85 for a senior citizen black coffee. Next day I went to another one and they charged me 1.29 for the same thing.
Who cares?
@@MrSteeDoo You cared enough to comment. On top of that your comment was worthless to the overall discussion. Bravo sir.
@@1969bones69 There was no discussion. The guy strangely complained that the coffee was different prices at different locations.
I thought the senior coffee was 0.25 cent
We the consumer have always known that fast food is not good for us but we ate it because it was cheap and fast. Now the former is no longer the case and the latter is much worse with them hiring less people with the recent pay raises. The way to get people back is to cut prices across the entire menu, but of course they won’t do that unless and until things get much worse for them
will it get worse for Mcd's? I am wondering if it will.
Most of us, are eating, the sick, and the dying animals. I seem to remember Pork, beef, and turkey, are mostly, brought in from Brazil, into the USA, and don’t have to be labeled. Clouding of animals, also leads to more disease spreading, and the use of, more antibiotics,being used. Sea lice, on our fish, and internal worms. All of our so called food, is not fit, to eat. I haven’t, even started talking, about our drinking water yet. Who is being, paid off, at the USDA, and other Government inspection Agency’s, to look, the other way? Jerry from Anaheim, California USA.❤
crowding not clouding
Buy local. Then you know how the animals are treated.
They are just ignoring the fact that the air, water, and soil is poisonous and we have killed ourselves as a species. We just don't know it yet🙂
WE ARE LIVING IN HELL !!!
Subway has also been closing thousands of stores, 18 stores closed over night in northern California in January for Sharing! Michael
Good. Too skimpy
Subway's quality is way down, and their prices are way up. No idea how the chain is still around, they should fold faster than Quiznos at this rate.
Subway has gone way up and their quality is way down.
Subway has become a joke...their bread has no substance and if their meat is sliced any thinner it will disappear. That and the questionable source safety of their ingredients and it's a big "no thanks" for me.
Subway is garbage now
The average family can no longer afford to eat at McDonald's !
I'm ashamed of myself for eating some of the vile things McDonalds employees have handed me. I wouldn't eat a Big Mac if it were free. I'd rather have a bologna sandwich at this point, I've learned my lesson.
You should be ashamed of the the amount of alcohol you need to make it through life
I’m never going back to McDonald’s-ever
Not even if I gave you $50 to only spend there? 😂
@@BREEZYM6015nope, won’t even eat there free
What if Ronald McDonald was holding one of your family members hostage inside a McDonald’s? Would you go then to rescue them?
Ya have to to take a shit somewhere, my advice is their drive thru 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your success reflects on covering topics that impact the working class. Thank you for taking the time to research and share your findings.
This isnt about the franchise owners, they buy their food from corporate... The problem is corporate and if they start losing franchises, that will be the pressure that is needed to make change.
Good point. I’m still not eating there. But good point.
McDiabetes, McCoronary - always was, now pay more for it. What a country!
In Seattle area it’s $40 just to feed 2 people at McDonald’s. Why spend that much when I could eat at a family grill for less and get better quality food or eat at home and save money.
And a family restaurant supports your community more!
My dad;s Diesel powered van was parked in 2012 and sat until 2023. When I got it running again it had a full tank of Diesel. I drove it on that fuel until my next fill up. Let an EV sit for 11 years and see what happens....
If this is true you got very lucky diesel tends to gel from sitting that long.
That fuel was bad years ago. But very cool to get it running again 👍
@@zerocal76 Diesel does not really go bad. I have burned 20 year old heating oil in my truck.
EVs are a FAILED technology - sooner or later you will be stranded in the middle of nowhere - OR the damn thing will burn your garage AND HOUSE down! Stick with gasoline!! ALL EV vehicles SUCK!
Michael is wrong about EV’s being best suited for drivers who only go 10mi/day. Those drivers won’t see enough gasoline and maintenance savings to justify an EV. The people who WILL see a benefit to an EV are those who drive 80-150 miles most days, can charge at home, and rarely go on road trips where they need to charge at charging stations
A Tesla model 3 has a 50 kWh battery and a model S has a 75 kWh just to give you an idea of what it would cost.
People haven't stopped going to places like McDonald's, etc. And they never will.
What? I'm seeing no cars in their drive through by my work at lunch hour when it used to be packed two rows going round the building. People have in fact stopped going in my area.
They will when Inflation begins closing business after business
Let's be positive here. McDonald's is losing money and customers right now
@Ziegfried82 I believe bad gumby was speaking from a very macro perspective.
They artificially kept the price extremely high to force a $5 menu instead of a 1$ or $2 menu this is an insult to consumers.
Just ask yourself why are they charging us double, while they're buying the same ingredients at 2019 prices.
BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT
BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT
BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT
Also don't forgot they shrinkflate the portion and food too so double whammy on us for downsizing for profit for filler.
That my friend is a bald faced lie. WHO in the HELL told you THAT. AS IF. THINK ABOUT IT. Its like saying GM is selling is new cars at 2019 prices. OF course they cost of EVERY SINGLE ITEM in your sandwich has almost DOUBLED. Add in the wage increases.
omg! lol.
@55points Ok!!! Let's use your logic and do some basic math. You claimed that everything has doubled, which is false, but let's assume it's true.
If the operational cost (ingredients...) were eating into their profits, then how on earth McDonald's was able to have a revenue of $25.76 billion, which equates to a 10.04% growth compared to 2023?
Not 3%,or 6%, or 8%, but 10% growth in just 12 months, which represents $2.6 billion.
The reason is extremely simple: McDonald's is overpricing its products, using the pandemic and the supply chain disruptions as cover to raise prices and keep them high, even though those issues have long been resolved.
McDonald's buys wholesale and also indirectly owns many farms, food suppliers, and food sources. Trust me, the increase, if any, is usually extremely marginal and sometimes very negligible.
Also, more than 25 states still have the minimum wage between $8-$10 TX,TN,AR,UT... I don't think anything is cheaper in those states either.
Ty🙏
Dude its more than that. A chunk of us walked away. Read this slowly, we are never coming back!! Period!!
I have cut back on dining out no matter the establishment. The prices are outrageous and the quality is NOT there, not even close!!!!!!
I’m not paying eighteen dollars for a Big Mac when I could just make it at home or get a burger at a sit down restaurant. lol
Look up something called a Big Mac salad. I can make a bowl of that that feeds 4 people easily and costs less than one McMeal. And the sauce I make at home is not only bang on, it's far better. I know what went in to it.
@@TechGorilla1987 I think I’ve heard of that before but never tried it? I’ve personally liked Culver’s and Wendy’s over the years more than McDonald’s.
yes. I don't even go to mcdonalds anyway but its nice to see them in trouble. We can't keep accepting these price increases.
I'm cooking at home right now!!
I've been driving across the country from California to Michigan. Every McDonald's I've passed, if they have any customers, it's a fraction of what I've seen before. They are really helping the small gas station food courts.
You cant be accurate if you dont know the margins. A 5 dollar meal is not cheap, they will still make a profit at 5.00.
Here in California gas just hit $6.75 per gallon!
Ummm maybe in the Hollywood area. Most I noticed are around $5 per/g
$6.75 a gallon of gas in California?? That's $3 a gallon higher than the other 49 states. LOL
yup, bay area easy to find $6.50/gallon. a 13 gallon tank is +$80 easy
4.25 for 87 here in fullerton CA Sinclair gas station
Chevron Chiriaco Summit, CA -> $6.50. We just stopped by there. And they were out of gas! I was lucky, I didn't really need to fill up my tank but there were others waiting in line knowing it will take 2 hours to get it.😮
Saved so many $s and improved my health during COVID not ever eating prepared food for 4 years. Could not believe the prices when 1st went back on a driving trip. Never going back again except an occasional WAWA coffee while distance driving. Better for the country overall if they all go out of business.
Unless people are very comfortable financially, they shouldn’t be buying takeout or going to sit down restaurants. Giant waste of money.
The “foodie” community still exists and is still popular. Millions of people are still eating out, just not as often as they usually do. Instead of eating out 4-5 days a week, it’s limited to 2.
Lol. You guys clearly don't live in affluent areas. Nobody cooks in Boca Raton.
Yer about 95 % of people now are NOT financially comfortable....
As the cost of living has gone through the roof...
And the normal persons wages haven't changed for over a decade or more
@@C1K450 Again, it's a waste of money unless they're monetizing it or very financially comfortable.
@@AssetAddict I think affluent would be the same as comfortable financially.
I adore looking at all those palm trees in the background!
In this era of online copycat recipes, people know it's more economical to make fast food at home. I've been making copycat McDonald's steak, egg & cheese bagels, and Five Guys burgers and fries since before the pandemic, and I'll never return to either of their restaurants.
Now just apply that to Apple, Google, Amazon etc, and repeat!
Nope not going back. Fool me once. When they made those small fries 🍟 that I could count 2.89, I was done ! They messed 🆙 and I’m done . They can go play with generation A , not me gen x here. Tired of all the bs & games !
Disgusting. The medium french fries are already at 320 calories. You're complaining because they aren't 450 calories instead? You're mad because you can't consume 25% of your daily caloric needs on just a single side item?
Stopped eating that fast food shit 25 years ago
same... unless i'm in a food desert and forced to eat there.
Me too and have been much healthier since. Their food will give you a heart attack.
Same
Ditto
I have not ate McDonalds in 30+ years because it is straight up garbage. Could not pay me to eat there. I would not even feed it to my pets because I love them.
Buy some turkey burgers at the store with some American cheese with some Buns.
Add some mayo, ketchup, tomatoes and lettuce.
Buy a Bag of frozen fries. It will feed the entire family.
Plus, it will be cheaper and taste better than any Burger King or fast food place.
Was out walking and literally saw someone in the neighborhood stripping cord for copper wire in his driveway. I knew he was obviously doing it for the copper, but wondered where he got all the wire . 😅 That was probably a month ago.
I remember back in ‘08 people were stealing copper from AC units, and telephone polls .
Tesla chargers are being stripped for copper.
People stealing the copper from lights at sportgrounds too.
Here in Birmingham AL they stole the Christmas lights from the tree at the downtown courthouse.
Forget what city, think SF, read this morning the city is replacing stop lights with stop signs in some neighborhoods because the local populace keeps striping the wiring that feeds the stop lights.
"Meth plumbers" pulling copper pipes from unoccupied houses were a thing for awhile in our area.
Meanwhile Arizona Iced Teas are still 99 cents
Some places charge 2.00
Because they're cheaply made with high fructose Corn syrup, they're not real teas.

I'm in Detroit and Dearborn and there are Ford F-150 Trucks park all over in parking lots. They not selling because nobody wants them or can't afford them.
The prices of trucks are ridiculous. Those of us that need them for work can't afford to buy them anymore. How do they expect people to buy these trucks when they cost up to 100k? Might as well go on pogey if we have to work to pay off the truck we need to work with. What's the point? Make work trucks reasonable again so we can keep working instead of throwing up the white flag!
Oh people want them. Why else is Biden freaking out about Chinese manufacturers enough to impose a 100% tariff?
What they’re selling has nothing to do with food.
I was in Wendy last summer. We ordered the 5 dollars buger deal. The buger were smaller . Plus the beef patie was so thin.Then the French fries were very small to. My self I would not go back to any fast food restaurants. You can get better food elsewhere
