What state do those prices exist? Here in Indianapolis I assure a quarter pounder w/cheese meal does not cost $11.99
Have a feeling he tried jamming a cheeseburger, an apple pie and a filet o fish all at once and chokedProbably committed harakiri
Agreed for the most part. Sometimes when I have to prepare for a hard day of work (usually on an inventory day), I will take advantage of a McDonald's breakfast special. It hits the spot. If I'm in a jam and there's no where else to go I'll do a QPC deluxe but I have to have it with no salt on the burger or the fries.. otherwise it's gross to me.I can't imagine eating McDonalds these days, let alone paying for it.
Still over a thousand stores in the country though, so someone's obviously eating that shit, and it can't all be American tourists.

Wendy's is the best burger in that tier of restaurants IMO. The next tier up would be Shake Shack and Five Guys, and I prefer Five Guys between those 2.
i dont care what you do, what you think of the prices, or what you think of the quality of their food.
people are still buying mcdonalds at these prices, and they net 2 billion dollars in income last quarter.
Argentina McDicks slaps! Italy McDicks was not as good but you can order McBeer so its a close second.I happened to go to a McDonald's when I was in Argentina earlier this year. Stuck at an airport, nowhere better to eat.
Didn't expect much, and I was pleasantly surprised. Massive portions, the burger I got was hefty to say the least. Good quality burger compared to what they serve in NA. Reminded me of 90's McDonald's. It wasn't cheap though, but that could be airport related.
They also have all different burgers, much better variety than they offer in USA or Canada. If we had Argentinian McDonald's here, I would probably go once in a while.
if you think high prices = greed, you simply have no idea how an economy works.
fat americans are willing to pay the prices that mcdonalds charges. so mcdonalds charges it.
and i dont think you know what sustainable means.
I think McDonalds figures they have a Giffen good of sorts. The logic being that the middle-class may have gotten priced out of normal restaurants and now McD is all they can afford for a treat. In my local area that's not accurate though. McD's prices have gone up so much that a lot of normal, much better restaurants are equivalent in price now, so I don't see why you'd pick McD over them. The other fast foods have not skyrocketed in price, so there are substitute goods, of better quality to boot. The only aspect that the golden arches have over them is better coverage, more restaurants all over the place if you don't want to drive a little bit more for a better fast food.
I think people are still purchasing the food because they're used to getting X and Y as part of their habits. A lot of people haven't realized how high the prices have gotten because they remember the old prices in their minds. That will readjust over time. In Canada you're looking at like $30 minimum for a meal for two people. I don't see people keeping up that habit once they get the sticker shock a few times.
pretty sure they’re fried in beef stock nowThe fries tasted better back when they were fried in tallow. But fucking vegans and vegetarians had to ruin everything with their whininess...
Meanwhile, a local chain of burger restaurants in Seattle called Dick's is selling $3 cheeseburgers and paying its workers $25 per hour.
So how much is it then?What state do those prices exist? Here in Indianapolis I assure a quarter pounder w/cheese meal does not cost $11.99
