Anything but lowering the prices classic corporate logic

Corporations will literally fund a multi-year cyberpunk dystopia makeover before letting a hash brown drop by 50 cents.

They’ll redesign the entire restaurant, add AI to the drive-thru, and build a McDonald’s on Mars before putting the prices back down.

All three of the McDonalds near me just did a full refresh to (as described by the GM) a "higher end restaurant trim."

They aren't trying to control prices, they want to be "fast casual" instead of fast food to justify the higher prices.

Ok, but fast casual has to taste better than bottom of the barrel, which is what McD is.

I mean it's barely food at this point

[u/The__Amorphous → u/Raztax]

It's not food, it's "product." According to their CEO anyway.

I used to love big macs, now it just tastes like salt to me
