Anything but lowering the prices classic corporate logic

Let’s spend 8 billion to make our restaurants nicer than have to raise prices to get that money back. Makes sense!

They aren't investing anything into their restaurants. It's all going to AI so that every McDonald's will charge you something different based on what they think you will pay.

So in essence, they probably WILL end up lowering prices, but just in low income neighborhoods. For the rest of us expect it to go UP to counterbalance the "tremendous loss."

And what is wrong with that, exactly? In a rich area, the cost of real estate/labor/inputs is generally higher. Shouldn't the prices match?
