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 McDonald's near me is across a small parking lot from a local BBQ joint that's priced equivalently. I don't know why anyone goes to McDonald's when you can see and smell the BBQ place's smokers from the drive-thru.
Little Caesars is my go to for when I'm dead tired, and want a pizza right now and don't want to wait for an order. The convenience of the hot and ready is pretty nice. Having said that, the once $5 pizza is like $10 now I think, and as you said, the pizza is not great.
McDonald's just straight up sucks. They took the one item I used to get off their menu - the chicken strips (which were one of the few non over processed garbage items on the menu) during Covid and never brought them back despite saying it was temporary. They also killed off all day breakfast during Covid which again, was something actually edible I'd get from them. Now, I've got no reason to go aside from during breakfast hours on a road trip or something. I've gone to get the kids a happy meal here and there when it was pokemon cards or something they wanted, but I don't even order food for myself in those instances. Too expensive, and quality sucks.
