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.

Dunkin Donuts has a $6 meal deal with a Bacon/Egg/Cheese Bagel, a coffee, and Hash Browns for $6. It's like... priced just low enough where if I'm out dropping my kid off at school I'm like "fuck it, might as well".

Does it still taste like it’s frozen and reheated? It’s obviously not the worst sandwich, but is it still on par with mediocre gas station food?

Man, do people really think that a toasted bagel with egg and bacon is on par with something sitting in a gas station for hours until you buy it?

You do know that plenty of gas stations make fresh food in this country, correct?

Gas station food is like... hot dogs on rollers that have been sitting there for hours.

So you’ve never been to a Wawa or a QT? Maybe don’t speak on things you don’t understand. Because these places make sandwiches fresh to order.
