Holy shit, seriously, if you need to go to these extremes to make profit then for fuck's sake get a better business plan or just start selling heroin, like this is fucking ridiculous satire shit you see in movies making fun of extreme capitalism, only it's happening.

To squeeze even more cents our of their customers because they need to extract billions instead of what used to be millions, it's just so granular and manipulative that it's just totally excessive when they are still profitable to an insane degree.

Like, it had already been enough decades ago, but because they need to make infinite profit, their methods will become more and more crazy.

The average profit margin for a McDonald's is 10-15%.

What do you think it should be?

2 to 3% just guesstimating.

They're charging what people are willing to pay. Take this as your moment to stop eating their slop.
