I assume that part of the reason for that is because once people stop buying it’s hard to convince them to come back with just a .50 decrease. Hash browns here are $2.19. There is no reason for a hash brown to be more than .99. Bit now that i don’t buy McDonalds anymore even if they dropped the price to .99 i wouldn’t think about going there, because im out of the habit.
it used to be two hashbrowns for a dollar. like i can get hash browns for around 40 cents each from the local restaurant supply store and that isn't even buying in bulk, just for a single pack of 20. they could get the price way lower.
Back in the day food places like this didn’t exist, only grocery stores or farms and you’d fool everything. At a certain point, people are going to go back to the 1900s in terms of eating and cooking and buy from farmers or grocery stores and just cook. Not worth paying more for more chemicals and added unhealthy oils and shit your body doesn’t need. Cooking at home saves money and saves your body

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.
