You bent the knee.
Suffer the consequences.
Exactly. Maybe they should ask the president to do another PR stunt to help sales. I hear advertising on the white house lawn worked great for Tesla's stock price. He should serve McDonald's on the white house lawn next. /s
Nah, install a franchise next to the oval office.
Dear McDonald's,
A big mac is not a $7 burger. It's not even a $4 burger.
That's all
It's not even a real burger
Such a stupid take. It’s fine if you don’t like it but it’s obviously a burger.
I stopped eating there a year ago when I found out they were charging me about 50% more for not using their app.
the one here remodeled awhile back to basically a drive-thru, door dash, and mobile app kitchen. dine-in and take-out is a nuisance to them. 10-15 minutes to get an order taken, that long again to get it. the counter and dining room have been designed to absolutely discourage those customers from even wanting to come inside at all.
Get fucked McDonald's, raising prices every year on cheap, crappy, unhealthy food. Get fucked, you literally voted for this. Fuck all the way off and enjoy your ride. Cunts.
They literally donated so much to his campaign fund
And curbed DEI immediately and eagerly.
This is only half bullshit. Quality is through the bottom level of hell on every metric at McDonalds. The ONLY reason I go is because they have a kids playplace. The app is essentially required, but sucks ass for usability. They took the soda machines out of most of them so free refills are basically gone, the prices are rediculous and the food sucks. Also, people are tightening belts because Trump (WHO MCDONALDS SUPPORTED) is an idiot.
All of that gripe and you still go there instead of a public park?
At least here in Los Angeles, many of the parks are unsafe for children. I found a knife in the playground last year.
Defund public spaces, then increase the cost of private spaces. Neoliberalism, everybody.
Go help clean them up, then.
Done that plenty, it makes a huge difference and as people notice they come and help out too.
Ya know how many toilets I've helped dragged out of local streams and creeks? Way too fucking many.
Stop going there.
Do not teach your kids to compromise on their values.
Plus those indoor play places are so hard to clean properly and unhygienic, you may inadvertently expose your kids to the measles virus or something.
Take them to the YMCA or something.
Most national/international fast food places seem to have looked at the "good, fast, cheap" principle and decided the answer is D) None of the above.
Have they been getting by on inertia and nostalgia in recent history? I could be an incredibly unlucky person, but all my experiences with these places have just been bad, bad in the past 5 or so years. I excused it a bit during the height of covid, but there's been time to work things out and they just haven't even bothered.
I'm not exactly their target audience, since I rarely get food at fast food places, but as it stands, if I were going to get fast food, the whole Trump McDonald's circus show has turned me off to that brand entirely. Burger King is a no-go after getting incredibly sick from their food. Taco Bell just completely gave up on themselves. Wendy's is so expensive now that I can't justify it anymore even as a guilty treat while traveling. I'd rather pack some ham sandwiches in a mini-cooler and make do with that.
Not only is the food bad, expensive, and slow, but it's also unhealthy. They fuck up orders constantly and the dining area in unpleasant to be in due to the incessant beeping. That business has literally no redeeming qualities.
this pic is a year old. its worse now:
I mean, mcdonalds had to raise prices to make up for all the free food they handed out to the IDF, so I get it.
They turned in Luigi, likely by having facial recognition in all stores. This is not justifying what Luigi is charged with, but fuck McDonald's for being a part of that lie. Traitorous lying scum.
They have cameras pointing up at you from the register area when you place an order, apparently "just for QR codes." And all their fucking digital menus have cameras in them. Why exactly is that needed? Fraud prevention for the illicit big Mac?
McDonald's doesn't value privacy and I don't believe for a second a random employee there identified Luigi.
Between them trying to use AI on me to take an order (and likely trying to voiceprint me) and also just not caring about privacy at all, why the fuck would I go there? Nope.
I don't trust them at all. In the US, corporations are legally allowed to lie to you if the government approves so if they do have some program in cahoots with police for facial recognition, we would never know.
I'm not saying it's bad to catch bad guys who are religious radicals, but the government is not exactly trustworthy.
And, on top of this, they fucked everyone over on price, then lowered it slightly when they realized they stepped in dog shit, showing how price increases were partly price gouging.
Fuck McDonalds.
Also their food fucking sucks and makes you fat and sick
I used to accept the fat and sick part because of the price. Now it costs just as much to eat at a whole ass sit-down restaurant, why the hell would I go there?
Well, their "food" now costs as much or more than a nice sit-down meal. And, in my opinion, it's terrible.
I blame the $6 mcmuffins and $4 hash browns.
For the price of McDonalds, you can go somewhere with decent food these days. The o ly reason to go there is if you are in a super rush, and even then, c-stores are putting out increasingly good food these days that can be grabbed in 2 minutes.
I guess Trump doesn't help, but it's also easy to point the finger. If eating at a fast food chain is no longer fast, cheap nor food (let's be honest). Is it then strange that sales are declining?
I support all the Trump-bashing in the world, but let's not allow crappy big businesses to just blame everything on him. McDonald's has a responsibility and they haven't lived up to it. Blaming Trump for consumers not choosing your overpriced, shitty product is not reasonable.
THE SHAREHOLDERS DEMAND MORE DIVIDENDS.
MUST. CONTINUE. ENSHITIFICATION.
Having to use a stupid fucking phone app to get less astronomical prices for bad food, poor service and rude/flippant employees is what tanked their sales.
I love the idea of blaming trump anyway because fuck that asshole.
I’m in Canada.
A&W Canada (a Canadian owned company) provides higher quality food for cheaper prices.
Their breakfast beats McDonald’s by a lot — the hash browns are almost twice as thick. They also have not messed up my order once.
The McDonald’s nearby ducks up 50% of the time, takes forever, and costs more.
Why would I go there?
Who the fuck is still spending money at McDonald’s in 2025?
Can someone get it through the mcds executive heads that they fucking suck?
I love how they had that cute little virtue signaling with that fucking shit gibbon of a fake president and now they’re like oh it’s consumer Spending. Let me tell you as a retail business it’s them.
They felt the need to signal to maga and they’re going to get what they get because maga are fucking broke and only have money to buy Shitty Chinese made red hats And fake American flags.
Dumb fucks.
McD's has been expensive as fuck for years now. I can feed my entire family of 7 for under $20 at the Costco food court. That's something for McD's to aspire to.
I posted this elsewhere, but..
Their food started being so insanely priced that they made a post that was the equivalent of corporate propaganda back in 2024. This was disproven again and again and again.
Their greed has been hurting them because no one wants to pay the insane prices for shit food. They stopped competing with budget fast food, coming closer to fast casual. Like, if I'm gonna spend that cash, I might as well go to Five Guys or Red Robin.
I noticed similar drastic price increases at Little Caesars. $30 for two pizzas and a breadstick combo is insane especially since they use the worst ingredients and let their pizzas sit around all day. Dominos is actually cheaper in my area, why the hell would I ever go to Little Caesars?
The only reason to eat at McDonald's was because it was cheap and fast. It's no longer cheap and you can get better food for almost as fast elsewhere. STFU McDonald's.
I'm in need of a meme involving a certain type of feline and the regrettable mutilation of faces, but it escapes me at present. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciate. Thank you kindly beforehand.
Lower your price gouged menu prices. I quit them a few years ago. I eat out about twice a month now.
It certainly isn't going to be their nasty tasting cardboard food.
As I understand it, mcd had already done so many other cost cutting tactics to increase profits for their masters, the SHAREHOLDERS. The corporate business model demands increases EVERY quarter. This kind of continuous infinite profit growth just doesn't make sense in real life. They may have exhausted all other options to increase profit for their shareholders beside price increases. They have no one to blame but themselves. They could stand up to their shareholders and not raise prices, but seems like they're spineless, and now they are pushing up against the edge of what their customers are willing to pay. I don't know how long they can keep this up.
Then maybe the place that sells plastic food shouldn't have let this felon rapist use one of their restaurants for a photo op.
Never mind that they’ve been seeing a sales decline for longer than just the past 100 days, and their sales declines aren’t limited to just the US.
Here in Australia their burgers have gotten so expensive, and so small - you’d be forgiven for confusing it with one of those gummy burger packets!
At least Hungry Jacks (our version of Burger King) has largely still maintained the same size; the Whopper offers infinitely more value and the Angry variant (spicy fried onions and jalapeños) kicks ass!
Anywhere but the mirror, huh? Please collapse, McDonald's.
