Might it have something to do with McDonaldโ€™s used to be cheap now itโ€™s over $10 for a burger, fries, and drink for just me. If I get a meal for my family itโ€™s well over $40. Thatโ€™s just too much for cheap fast food.

Fuck you McDonalds. For so many reasons. Letting the fucking monster play employee on his way to destroy this country was just icing on the cake.

Me who hasn't eaten any McDonalds for decades purely because it's unhealthy.

This pleases me.

I hope all of these price-gouging motherfuckers see their worst sales declines since 2020. Bastards.

Yeah started boycotting them a couple years back when I started noticing their prices were fucking insanely high for absolute shit food. The garbage they pulled during COVID and greedflation just further solidified my resolve. Haven't ever missed it. Plenty of mom and pop food places Id rather support and enjoy more. There's always other food places, fast food or not.
