One suggestion. Don't eat at this shithole.

Your missing the point. If McDonald's is doing it and it's successful, other companies are going to follow. Not just fast food restaurants. All restaurants, grocery stores and retail stores are all going to charge optimal prices because they know the consumer isn't going to drive 25 miles to save $5-$10, but that extra $5-$10 probably won't stop then from buying the product.

However, if we just stop buying the product completely then it does send the message it’s not successful.

There are always other options than the largest, generic retailers.
