Shocking, you mean to say consumers are getting tired of corporate greed! Well, that's exactly what happens when corporations care more about their profits, stock buybacks, and on their own bloated salaries, and could care less about the customer or their own employees. Tsk tsk.
There's a difference between inflation, and price gouging...they've seen RECORD PROFITS the last 4 years!!! Why would they ever lower prices when they make so much already?!? Only when people realize that they don't NEED to eat out, will these corporations realize they have to lower their prices, to stay afloat!

And they're complaining about a "slight decrease" in profits. Sorry, but its not realistic to expect only profit increases. Especially when housing costs have jumped as well as everything else. Do they even realize that some people have to pay over 1k/mo just in car payment and insurance, nevermind rent...of course not...the people who are on the csuite aren't affected by their actions.

I eat there occasionally. Your forgetting some people don't have the time to cook their own meals everyday. Plus having fast food every so often isn't bad for you as long as you keep a healthy balance.
I used to think McDonald’s was a poor persons type restaurant. Nothing wrong with that either by the way. I was humbled quickly when I went to get my daughter some chicken nuggets for $10. Get out of here.
You can get a meal at a sit-down restaurant for those prices.
We don't eat at any fast food restaurants. Went to one 2 yrs ago and for three people our lunch at Dairy Queen cost us 43.00. lunch at a local restaurant, with alcoholic beverage was 56.00. Won't eat fast food ever again.

Dont forget to mention 2 important stats: the company profit margins and the franchise fees. These chains are owed by billionaires and run by millionaires who are trying to replace the kid making $12/hr by making you be your own cashier.

People should stop going to McDonald's. They are getting to greedy for that unhealthy food. You can buy a tray of hash browns at the grocery store for $5.98 you get 12 hash browns in the tray. Stop patronizing them, and lets see what they do. They are charging $10.00 for a fish sandwich, thats ridiculous.
It ain’t inflation. Haven’t had that higher than wages for 3 years now. It’s price gouging and corporate level profits needed as excuses to do buybacks and mergers. They could lower all prices by 30% and still profit. Just not AS MUCH.
A small $5 value "meal" will not be enough. Still too expensive!

I coulda told you this would happen. What do they expect?! People make poverty wages and certainly cannot afford 12.00 McDonald’s meals. McDonald’s made their entire brand by being low quality, serving a cash strapped population. You can go to delis and mom and pops for less than shitty McDonald’s.
Maybe we should give them tax break. The CEO deserves his bonus.

McDonald’s was at least an ‘affordable’ food for us kids/broke people now it cost more than many reataurants
Literally they charge the same as a sit down diner with real and great food
With groceries so high, who can afford to eat out?
With those prices, I will never go to Mc Donalds. NEVER!
The only way you stop it is to stop going.
With the quality of the food $5 is still way over priced :-(
Good, if they're gonna give us goyslop at least make it affordable.
What they did is offer 20-30% when you buy in app.
How about we stop selling overly processed, disgusting food then?…
Fr this isn’t dollar value that’s 5x from 1$
their rise in prices was a test of what you would pay, i hope it backfires spectacularly and they lose customers to eat healthy pre prepared meals instead.
If I can get a better meal next door from shake shack for the same damn price as McDonald’s why wouldn’t I go to shake shack?
I wasn't around for it, but someone told TacoBell used to have .79¢ value menu 😭
For the same price, you can get an objectively better meal at Chick-fil-A, Culver’s, Jersey Mike’s, or chipotle, so why on earth would you stick with the worse options that cost just as much?
$3 for hash browns? Must be California, Indiana it’s $1.69
Is this news?
I've been actively boycotting all these types of places. Sorry for the employees that work there, but it's no longer feasible to justify a meal for 1 person costing around $19-$22 when you can literally buy ingredients at the market and make at home the same menu for 4 with that. And it tastes better.
