McDonald’s posts rare profit miss as customers turn picky

1. Picky?

   Prices are absurdly high. Service blows. My last impression of McDs is standing 10 people deep around the counter as a greasy bedraggled teenager unceremoniously flopped $30 worth of lunch onto the counter as if it were a bag of garbage.

2. I feel sorry for the people who have to eat this garbage, and think that it tastes good.

3. Endless gaslighting articles everyday placing the blame on the people and not the reality of greedy corporations

   Let them all collapse

4. Tastes like shit. My adult taste buds can’t tolerate the sickeningly salty sweet nastiness anymore.

5. Sorry, as an adult, it’s been over 20 something years since I had McDonald’s , it’s children’s food, that’s why it’s taste sweet.

6. Cheaper to eat at my local diner.

7. # McDonald’s prices …….. I can eat at steakhouse for the same price.

8. I get diahrea everytime I eat there, no matter what location.

9. I tapped out when hasbrowns hit $3.50 a piece.

   There is just no justification for it.

10. Why eat at McDonald’s when you can pick similar fast food restaurants with better quality food? Whose picking McDonald’s over chil fil a, chipotle, etc.

11. On Tuesdays I could get a real burger for $3.50 at Sonic.

    I don’t need your Double-Cheeseburger-Wannabe McDouble for that same price. Dollar menu, my enlarged megacolon, McDonalds. Shaaaaame.

12. I live near a five guys and a McDonald’s, it is cheaper for me to go to five guys and buy a little bacon cheeseburger, small fry, + a drink then to go to McDonald’s and purchase a Big Mac meal.

    So in short, I can pay more for worse food, longer lines, dirtier restaurants, and worse service, why would I (or any other consumer for that matter) do that exactly? The ONLY competitive edge McDonald’s had was that it was cheap and fast, it hasn’t been fast in years and now it’s not cheap. Many “too big to fail” companies have failed as soon as their product became worse / more expensive than their competitors, McDonald’s is next if things don’t change.

13. I feel like they used to innovate on their menu. Now it all feels so stale. Their food is so processed id hoped they’d have a vegan meal that tastes identical by now.

14. It’s way to expensive for what you get. It’s good to see the general population finally start seeing this.

15. Their food always makes me a little nauseous and tired afterwards probably from the 200+ chemicals in their food.

    I always say
    ” You don’t eat McDonald’s, McDonald’s eats you!”

16. Lol they priced their core market out.

    What did they think was going to happen?

    Econ 101: sell a lot for a little . Or a little for a lot.

    But if you want to sell a little for a lot. You gotta make sure the customer sees value in your product.

    “It’s freaking McDonald’s” The only value add is on someone’s waist line. FFS.

    McDonald’s lost its place. Thought 90s nostalgia was going to carry them to endless growth in a vacuum. After murdering everything that had value or nostalgia.

    The refresh stores look depressing and uninviting.
    The food offering is gimiky and over priced.

    They keep cutting the bottom line to boost executives pay.

    We are in the age of “Companies farming cash flow above anything else”
