It used to be that McD's was shit, but at least it was fast and cheap.

Now it's still shit (maybe even worse), but also quite expensive ... and it's not even that fast anymore.

It stopped being fast years ago, precovid even. Pretty much as soon as delivery services became popular as those got higher priority than people being in the restaurant, the waiting times become equal to an actual restaurant.
Last drop for in restaurant was 45 minutes of waiting.

Price rose somewhere in between there and now as well and by now even delivery isn't fast.

Last drop with delivering was about a year ago, it was still kinda last minute quick back up option when coming from somewhere late in the evening and being rather tired to cook as i could order while I still on the road towards home.

It still took about an hour to arrive, most of the time was in cooking.
I could have reached home and still easily cooked something up at home and it would have been faster.

By now MCD is as expensive and slower than an actual restaurant with every possible way of ordering. So i don't even consider this as an option when out with the family.

45 is pretty nuts! Haven't experienced that long of a wait but definitely wouldn't go back after something like that. That sucks.

I've started comparing everything to the $30+ for underwhelming Sonic food recently. Since then, things that have been the same price or less:

  • 1x smoked pork sandwich, 1x smoked brisket sandwich, 1x large mac and cheese ($32ish)

  • 1x turkey/dressing/cranberry sauce, 1x rice and gravy, 1x baked chicken, 1x mashed potatoes, 2x macaroni, 2x yeast rolls, 1x peanut butter pie, 1x lemon pie ($35)

  • Buy one, get one free wood-fired pizzas after 10 PM near me. Two pizzas for $14.95.

Fuck fast food. Try your local places. Deals are out there and you meet people.

Fuck fast food. Try your local places.

Grocery store deli counter can be an incredible place to get very good and affordable food, just saying.

I like the free pieces of meat they give me.

Support the bourbon chicken place at your local mall food court (spiritually, not financially).

I've heard all white people look the same, so they'll probably never even realize.

I work fast food, and I could swear that I see the same 10 people over and over again, sometimes within 15 minutes of each other. I know they're not the same people, but I couldn't pick any of them out of a lineup. Most of them don't have any characteristics that stand out, colored hair helps though. Maybe I just have an awful memory.

Some of the Home Depots in my area (Philly) have places in the parking lot that sell cheesesteaks and sausage sandwiches and they're really fucking good. I would go there every day and the guy would double-stuff my sausage sandwich and even give me like a 6" link to eat while waiting for it. It was just too much -- I was already full after eating the sample.

Depends on the grocery store and how loss leader they're playing. Giant eagles fried chicken remains an incredible deal for such an overpriced store. Wegmans by comparison ain't going to save you a buck on prepared food but it'll usually be pretty good.

[-] night_petal@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This honestly does not fit. $5 for a burger, fries, nuggets and a drink. I hate myself for doing it, but there just isn't cheaper food.The next best thing is paying maybe $8 (if you're lucky) for a frozen pizza that you need at least a half hour of time for.

I really do hate it, but trying to paint McDonald's as overly priced right now makes me think that you are either very out of touch, you have never had to live on truly bad food for long periods of time, or you're just posting this to get people to agree with you.

[-] ieGod@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Where are you located? Their prices can vary wildly even within the same city. Check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/1pylyhk/i_compared_mcdonalds_menu_prices_across_toronto/

Only a few items under $5 here, and for the cheapest meal upgrade you still have to add on another $5.

[-] FlordaMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I’m not from the US, over here it’s really expensive for really crappy food.

[-] night_petal@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

That's more than fair. I think I had mild dyslexia when reading your username xD.
