This seems like something an Excel spreadsheet could do

i used to leave near a mcDs and a few other fast food joints. so it would just kind of happen those days where i was tired or whatever and wanted something predictable and with limited effort by me.

now i live somewhere fast food is inconvenient AF. the fastest, cheapest thing would be to hit the budget grocery store's hot lunch bar or like a takeout diner place. i would have to drive like 20 mins to get a McCrap. been here for about 2 years, and legit that's how long its been since ive had any.

its funny how crucial their strategy of being everywhere is to their revenue. because nobody is going out of their way for this overpriced shit lol.

Need to start asking to speak to management, offer $0.99 flat for a single hamburger, if they decline, turn around and walk out. Send a message. Force negotiated pricing for everything.

I guess me not going for McDonalds for years is "winning"?

Hell even my sibling has bought way WAY less from there.

I do know one guy who is absolutely 👌obsessed👌 with his McDonalds. I don't.... I don't get it.

See, if I were a McDonald’s competitor, I’d figure out a way to manipulate the data McDonald’s is pulling such that their demand metric is artificially high. If the AI dynamically prices all the McDonald’s in a metro area to have $15 Big Macs, then the $6 Whopper looks like a steal.

REPENT! REPENT! REPENT!

How does that work with delivery apps if multiple stores are all within delivery range of the same location? People are just gonna pick the cheapest location.

As always, the true indicator of US economy

The fall of America is truly upon us

This universe fucking sucks man, I want my money back

Location based pricing is not new, and AI in this case is likely just a regular ass probability model. This isn't new at all; look how much a cravings box from taco bell costs in a downtown near you and then in a ghetto near you. In my city, it's more than a 100% difference.

It's no surprise that people in nicer areas have more money and those areas cost more to do business in. It's also no surprise the inverse is true. It's even less surprising a public company is doing everything in their power to maximize profit; they have a legal obligation to do so and it funds your 401k.

McDonald's isn't the super villain here, change the legal obligations or incentives of private companies to be more socially focused and minimize performance based comp for execs.

is it breaking the boycott if i trick them into losing money?
