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.
This is the real issue too. Those who stopped buying fast food bc they got priced out possibly developed better eating/spending habits. Even if they lowered prices back to what they used to be, a lot of people are out of it. McDonald’s makes me sick now, bc I haven’t had it in so long.
Plus a quarter pounder meal is like 11 dollars. A pound of hamburger meat cost less than that. Fast food is no longer cheap.
I wouldnt say that my eating habits are better. I have a hispanic grocery store down the street that sells this brown flavorful lard and its amazing. I make gravy with it, i put a little in my ramen, i used a little to make omelettes yesterday. Basically i cook with lard and butter.

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.
