mcdonalds has been inedible garbage for easily the last 25+ years - who eats there?
Lots of people. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean nobody else does either.
The issue isn't the quality of the food and whether or not someone likes it. Restaurants are a luxury, not a right. People who think it's too expensive don't need to eat there. You don't need to eat at McDonalds.
The issue is that for a lot of people it was the only affordable place, and now it's not.
I don't eat McDonald's or really any fast food. The last time I got fast food was a burger King after a 12 hour hike where I got a bit turned around in the woods and ended up getting out three hours after I planned and my regular go to on the way home was closed. The time before that was probably back when I was in college
But there are people who eat it almost every day. Not because they want to, but because it's the only thing they can afford to eat. That being taken away is shocking. Especially paying 18 dollars for a burger fries and drink? At McDonald's quality?
Absolutely. If McDonalds wants to price itself out of its own market that’s their decision, the onus is on consumers to stop patronizing the establishment.
We’ve become a nation of addicts to salt, sugar, and fat, and we’re all the worse for it. People forget that the only way a company lowers prices is if demand drops.
I saw a show where a lady ate couch cushions and she liked the used ones cuz they tasted better.
Y'all eat complete trash and call it food with your one fucking taste bud.
Yeees. Throw stones. I'm sure you and whatever demographic you're identifying with have absolutely no skeletons in your closet and nothing easy to mock.
I farted so this cushion should taste extra great for you ma'am.
Other people that exist. You should maybe learn about thrm some time.
McDonalds has a better chicken sandwich then Panera Bread, and I'm not joking.
The panera i worked at years ago had no kind of fryer....
They had microwaves though
I bet they microwave their chicken like all their pasta
I wish I could filter Microwave restaurants like this, Applebee's, Chili's, etc. from Google Maps searches.
Panera is a low, low bar.
Granted, but it's not supposed to be that way.
Nobody. That's why they're struggling and most of their locations have closed.
Oh wait.
