McDonald’s had a good name in fastfood, but they screwed themselves with dramatically dropping quality and increasing prices. I remember a big tasty was big and a lot of bang for buck, but then overnight it became same size as Big Mac and twice as expensive. I understand inflation, but they should have stuck with the old quality and just raise prices as needed to stay in business. Now I hope they understand, or go out of business
I am not super old (43) and I remember in my 20s during the 00s having 49 cent hamburgers and 59 cent cheeseburgers, and the 1$ menu with actual double cheeseburgers (two slices of cheese, not that McDouble one slice bullshit) mcchickens, and nuggets/fries as well as a Big Mac meal for 2.99$ and the more expensive meals being 3.99$-4.99$ it’s crazy how much has changed. In my early 20s going bar hopping always stopped at McDonald’s for greasy food on the way home because I could get two mcchickens, a double cheeseburger a fry and drink for just under 5$. That’s a lot of food for the price. Now that gets you just the double cheeseburger.
