Maybe they’ll change the Big Mac. “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, a twenty dollar gold piece on a sesame seed bun.”
I once threw down a half eaten McWhopper and my German Shepherd walked over, sniffed it and walked away.
And $11,400 more per annum needed to buy stuff.
Ain't Bidenonics wonderful?
Between the increased costs of ingredient, insurance, electricity, etc. and state mandated $15/hour wages - that’s what you get.
So now that McD is unaffordable, people will be pushing for a $20 minimum wage - wash, rinse, repeat.
Selling a $0.25 burger for $16 ...
Just this week I learned...
Shop rate just increased $400 per month
Obamacare raising rates $200 per month
Material supplier increased prices for steel and aluminum near double
Welding gases up double
Hazmat hauler (cutting fluids and other wastes) up double
Electric another 7%
Still paying $5 a gallon for diesel.
Can I move to New York and get put up in a luxury hotel and have all my needs paid for by taxpaying chumps like me?
That’s why its called a value meal.
A filthy country filled with low-rent people with a broken economy doesn’t just grow on trees you know. Somebody’s got to pay for it.
$16 sounds reasonable...
for four kids.
On my McDonald's app, a double bacon quarter pounder large meal is $11.19, so he paid $4 more for the "Smokey BLT" part.
10 years ago excluding tax you could get 16 double cheeseburgers for $16.00
What the article isn’t telling us is that this is the new McCrispy burger. A four pound patty with chocolate syrup whipped cream and M&M’s,all between 4 buttery pancakes.
I just paid $11 dollars at a local diner for a salmon-burger (Nativity Fast), fries, a small salad, and a cup of coffee—MUCH better quality than McDonalds!! Better atmosphere, too!
McDonalds is scamming us, in collusion with the biden/obama government!!
“...despite data suggesting [the economy] in a strong position”
Author Cork Gaines has been listening to FJB gaslighting way too much.
I went to al local Italian restaurant for lunch yesterday with 4 friends. We all ordered a veal dish which came with a side salad or pasta and unlimited bread basket. Each entree was $15.00. A whole lot tastier than a Big Mac.
Eggs are up again and the price of laundry detergent is through the roof.
I can do without Big Macs, but the essentials are not optional.
I made chicken, red beans and rice with onions, garlic and some cheese. The whole meal with leftovers for two days cost about $12. Great taste (I am a good cook) and economical as well, if you’re eating at Mickey D’s you have money to waste.
The new price point is to cover increased insurance premiums due to store damage sustained during the nightly “teen” brawls.
” Sixteen dollars for a burger, large fries, and a drink. It’s just crazy.”
What’s crazy is anyone who would pay that.
