Bidens McDonald’s
McBDS
As I understand it, mcd had already done so many other cost cutting tactics to increase profits for their masters, the SHAREHOLDERS. The corporate business model demands increases EVERY quarter. This kind of continuous infinite profit growth just doesn’t make sense in real life. They may have exhausted all other options to increase profit for their shareholders beside price increases. They have no one to blame but themselves. They could stand up to their shareholders and not raise prices, but seems like they’re spineless, and now they are pushing up against the edge of what their customers are willing to pay. I don’t know how long they can keep this up.
Growth for the sake of growth is literally cancer.

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.
My boomer mother in law. Rural origins. Just… Likes the garbage she gets there because she’s used to it. She actively dislikes fine foods with strong flavors. She would prefer to eat mushy overcooked pork chops in mushroom soup every night. Maybe a side of overcooked broccoli.
Brags about eating bowls of saltine crackers and milk.
Interestingly enough, where I live, it’s McDonalds that has strong flavors. Not the most complex flavors or anything, but they at least put enough salt in their stuff that you can taste it. Plenty of fancier places make burgers that are better in every other aspect but sauce has little to no flavor compared to say, a Big Tasty. But of course the funny thing is, some of these places are now cheaper than McDonald’s…
By strong flavor I mean Mediterranean or Indian food. She can’t tolerate it. Needs her KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.
That milk and crackers bit is so gross!
I used to work with a lady that would refuse vegetables like a child. She had to be in her late 50s early 60s. She’d complain to me about health problems and then vehemently refuse any healthy alternative I’d put out there.
Having to use a stupid fucking phone app to get less astronomical prices for bad food, poor service and rude/flippant employees is what tanked their sales.
I love the idea of blaming trump anyway because fuck that asshole.
It’s ok we shouldn’t be eating that garbage anyway
We need to educate the next generation on how to feed themselves easily on a budget.
Right now, most of them don’t bother making their own meals because they’ve been conditioned to treat food as an adventure that they can brag to their friends about every time.
Peak boomerism.
No, it’s anti-consumerism.
This generation has sold itself out to the lowest bidder, so it makes some sense that we have to look to the past for how to live with more self-respect.
Burger king in the Whitehouse for the next leader summit then
Burger King
Careful, Trump might take that as a threat to his singular power
From Hark a Vagrant!
I completely forgot this existed. Thank you.
Whitehouse already has a clown I guess. More than one actually.
Well, their “food” now costs as much or more than a nice sit-down meal. And, in my opinion, it’s terrible.
Exactly, some European countries will let you have a beer with your Maccies, but personally I’d rather have a meal at a pub or cheap restaurant, where the prices are similar.
If only we could’ve known ahead of time
You bent the knee.
Suffer the consequences.
Exactly. Maybe they should ask the president to do another PR stunt to help sales. I hear advertising on the white house lawn worked great for Tesla’s stock price. He should serve McDonald’s on the white house lawn next. /s
Nah, install a franchise next to the oval office.
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.
I hadn’t been to a McD in ages, but I took my niece and her friend to an event and they wanted to stop there. It was the most dystopian eating experience I ever had.
The interior was all off white and sterile (emotionally). There was no counter service, you ordered through a gigantic kiosk. Food took forever. As you said, the drive in and DoorDash seemed to be dominating the customer base. There were maybe 2 other tables in use during dinner rush.
The funniest/saddest part to me, was it sounded like there was maybe just 1 employee in the kitchen, and at any given time, either a manager was yelling at them or a machine was beeping out orders, I’m assuming from the kitchen timers going or orders coming through. So the whole time we’re waiting, which was a decent amount of time, I’m picturing this lone teenager being yelled out by a lineup of a middle age dude and a parade of machines.
Food came out cold and not great, but about what I expect from McD’s, which is why I don’t like to go there. The kids just each got a Sprite and fries, which we could have gotten anywhere else…
I honestly don’t care all that much that the food is standardized to such a degree, that’s it’s made out of strange industrial processes, or even that it’s always cold when all the other fast food places seem to at least have warm food. It’s that no matter what I get, I always feel like I’ve never actually eaten anything. My stomach always feels as empty after I’ve eaten there. I eat a decent amount of not great for me foods, but McDonalds is the only thing that consistently feels so devoid of any nutritional value whatsoever. It just blows my mind every time.
Ours burnt down, when they rebuilt it, they just didn’t put an inside location at all. It looks like a storefront, but you can’t open the front door. There are no tables, there is no play place, just a drive thru and Uber eats / DD / McDonald’s app pickup area. If you’re on foot, you can go fuck yourself I guess.
Yep. I don’t go often anyhow but won’t anymore as they don’t even seem to take orders. You gotta use a kiosk and I refuse to waste my time doing that when a cashier could ring me out in 15 seconds. And definitely never installing an app.
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.
Aside from it already being shit to eat at a McDonalds to begin with, what sad life must one lead to order McDonalds home, when they could order anything else from the local burger, pizza, asian, kebap, etc. place for the same price in better quality and quantity.
Yeah, I would always cringe whenever I saw people ordering food in person and not using the app.
It just shows front-and-center how abusive the relationship between businesses and customers is. Like, all of the employees knew you were getting ripped off but none of them told you anything about it.
It’s fucked.
I don’t blame the employee; they’re not paid enough to give a shit.
I’m aware the app has cheaper deals. I’m also not willing to enter a binding arbitration deal with them to save a few bucks. I just don’t eat there.
Lower your price gouged menu prices. I quit them a few years ago. I eat out about twice a month now.
Dear McDonald’s,
A big mac is not a $7 burger. It’s not even a $4 burger.
That’s all
It’s not even a real burger
I doubt it’s even a real Big Mac (as in using the original, unaltered recipe)
If anyone wants the recipe, all of the old school McDonald’s recipies are here: https://archive.org/details/mcmenu
U don’t like bread sandwiches?
As a centrist dem I have to point out that a bread sandwhich (even if it has a little spit inside) is a lot better than a no-bread sandwhich, and if you dont support bread sandwiches then you automatically are to blame for whatever comes after this-- mcdonalds is blameless. Dont let perfect be the enemy of the good.
/s
Such a stupid take. It’s fine if you don’t like it but it’s obviously a burger.
I’ll invite you over and make you a burger, then I’ll put a big mac next to it and you can be the judge haha.
If dried road kill for burger meat between two barely reheated frozen buns is a burger then you’re right.
People like you are exhausting.
A roadkill burger is still a burger
People that are technically correct? The best kind?
I’d absolutely love to hear you explain how a Big Mac isn’t technically a burger.
big mac is a sandwhich at best. you can’t call that shit between it a patty
This is really how you want to spend your time? Arguing that a 1/6 pound hamburger patty is not a hamburger patty? Come on dude, give it up.
You were wrong, just move on.
Why insist on being right tho? You wasted so much time arguing yourself just so you can point your finger and claim yourself as victorious in your amazing internet battle.
This is why the internet sucks.
You’ll invite him over for a better burger, no doubt. Because yeah, Big Macs suck.
But by the very definition of the word, a Big Mac IS a burger whether you want it to be or not. Actual facts don’t generally give a shit about your opinion on the matter. A burger patty between two sides of a bun is a burger. Doesn’t matter if the meat is half cardboard and the buns are reheated frozen pieces of shit, it’s still very much the technical definition of a burger.
So please give the pretentious twat persona a rest, thanks.
Womp womp
if only there had been warning signs
