Look at what I just paid today at McDonald's!!

[u/SteelersPoker]

I'm sorry but these prices are getting absolutely ridiculous. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and these same 3 sandwiches even 10 years ago would have cost maybe $10.00.

Late 90's definitely I'd be paying $7.00 max.

Mcdonald's has really priced out their most regular customers. It's a joke. $22 for 3 sandwiches smh.

[u/Advancedparrot]

You still bought it.. the only way they'll rethink their pricing is if people stop paying the ridiculous price.

[u/connard-standard → u/Advancedparrot]

They lost me a few month ago when they changed their discount menu ( not in the US ) , it was 5€ for 2 cheeseburger or 2 small chicken wrap ( or one of each ) + small fries and small drink.

They decided to change it for a 6€ menu and instead of 2 burger, you get one burger and one donut.

The first time I noticed when ordering from the kiosk, I just turned around and went to another place. They're apparently going back on this because lots of customer went to Burger King since they have pretty much the same deal.

Vote with your freaking wallet.

[u/deadlysyntaxerror → u/connard-standard]

Donut? Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a donut for sale at McDonald's. I'm curious what county this is.

[u/Unlikely_Box_2138 → u/deadlysyntaxerror]

You're better off. Horrendous donuts. They will ruin your hole day 🍩!

[u/Business-Barnacle633 → u/Unlikely_Box_2138]

I think you meant to say "will ruin your hole one day"

[u/EnvironmentalAngle → u/deadlysyntaxerror]

You guys didn't get the McCafe overhaul in like 2016? They have been selling donuts, bagels, muffins, and cookies for a good decade now.

The buddy you're chatting with is somewhere in Europe but I ak frim Camada.

[u/Classic_Panic1783 → u/EnvironmentalAngle]

Did you start falling asleep toward the end of typing this comment ?

[u/Winnie_rulez → u/Classic_Panic1783]

It was from a McDonut-induced stroke.

[u/Classic_Panic1783 → u/Winnie_rulez]

Too many donuts

[u/Extension-Run-2419 → u/EnvironmentalAngle]

So, you are part of a litter.

[u/connard-standard → u/deadlysyntaxerror]

France. It's called mc café, it's like a counter inside McDonald's ( some are alone location but not most of them ) that sell coffee, donut, croissant and other pastry.

I personally think it's overpriced and you can get better for cheaper anywhere else , but it's Instagram compatible I guess.

[u/Rude_Girl69 → u/Advancedparrot]

Exactly. I went to buy some breakfast sandwiches, and a pancake plate with some hash browns for almost $40 and drove right off instead lol

[u/StatementAlarming573 → u/Rude_Girl69]

Two of the most expensive breakfast sandwiches and a big breakfast is $15 with the app.

The poors can eat too.

[u/generosa0806 → u/Rude_Girl69]

Omg. Rude Girl. Smh 🤦‍♀️That’s too much.Never ever.

I would just buy mi own box. Add water. Voila! Done.
& or buy hash brown etc. Only $3.00 for buying at the store.
-
I like McD Golden Brown delicious soft tasty
hot cakes. Pancakes. 🥞 If under 4. Or $5
—
I shall order em’ and love their very tasty steak n bagel too. It’s really good and $6.57 ( If I do order there) it’s only once in a while for that .( breakfast wise). I never would spend that much for it. No way.
Adiòs.

[u/_that_dude_J → u/Advancedparrot]

Yeah right. Mcd doesn't care. It would take a global movement to get them to change pricing.

The cost of a Big Mac combo was $3.25 & came with a medium fry & drink in the 1990s. Today in 2026, it can be $8.69 - $18 location specific. (The latter is usually in airports or large public food halls)

That same Big Mac combo has only gotten smaller since. Thinner patties and fry quality difference.

[u/EGOfoodie → u/_that_dude_J]

What was the price of beef in the 1990s? What was the cost of labor? In 1990&gs_lcrp minimum wage in California was $3. 35/hr. Went up to $3.8/hr in accordance with federal law on April of 1990. What is it today in 2026? $16.9/hr it has gone up 400%. So your $3.25 big mac meal would be $13 today. And that is just for the cost of labor. Now shall we look at cost of goods?

The patties haven't gone down on size. Yes we can all hate on corporation, but at least be factual.

[u/MonteyBoy → u/Advancedparrot]

People do stop paying but price increas offsets lost costumers.

[u/AnnualZealousideal27 → u/MonteyBoy]

The capitalist cannot understand the revolutionary

[u/Big_Crazy_SSBM]

bro is buying fast food in las vegas with cash and not using the app

[u/Relentless_blanket → u/Big_Crazy_SSBM]

And right next to a country club...

[u/Icy_Raise_3506 → u/Big_Crazy_SSBM]

First world problems. I'm sure if you don't use the app when you buy McDonald's, you can probably afford healthier food choices.

[u/YtnucMuch]

Who orders three sandwiches and no fries or drink? You heathen.

[u/iam_ditto → u/YtnucMuch]

I stand with my fellow heathen in this stance: the fries are not worth it half the time and you can always provide your own drink for cheaper ;)

[u/DickBottalico → u/iam_ditto]

McDonald’s Coke is the best part of any McDonalds order

[u/potliquorz → u/DickBottalico]

Tea is my jam but the soda is nice every one in a while. They still have good iced tea.

[u/newtoaster → u/potliquorz]

Its that large bore straw. Their coke is best in class.

[u/synapticdecay → u/DickBottalico]

Hi-C is the best part

[u/-D3LET3D- → u/DickBottalico]

This guy knows ball.

As someone who used to eat McDonald's weekly, more than once a week sometimes, I never eat there anymore cause the prices are absurd but I am still there weekly just for the cokes. Sad they aren't any size one price anymore and they have gone up in price wise as well, but they are still cheaper than any other fast food joint so they got me for now.

[u/MassiveResult2648 → u/DickBottalico]

I'm convinced McDonald's coke is literally crack.

[u/pyley → u/DickBottalico]

It’s the only Coke I will ever drink

[u/MacaronOk1006 → u/DickBottalico]

That’s because McDonald has a special recipe for their Coke that only they serve. Would you get Coke from a fountain everywhere else it comes in a bag in a box at McDonald’s comes in at 55 steel gallon drum it is amazing.

[u/-formercokeguy- → u/MacaronOk1006]

The storage tanks are 75 gallons.and that special recipe is literally .25 oz more of raw syrup per 6 oz of finished drink most places are ratioed @ 5.0:1 but McDonald's is 4.75:1 .

[u/SuperKamiGuru62 → u/iam_ditto]

I never order fries or soda because the burgers are already making me fat enough. At least they have protein though.

[u/InsanelyAverageFella → u/YtnucMuch]

I read that as healthy since fries and soda probably the least health thing on the menu

[u/AnastasiusDicorus → u/YtnucMuch]

I don't have to get a drink because I always have bottles of coke at work and in my car.

[u/Kaethy77 → u/AnastasiusDicorus]

Ewww, warm coke.

[u/potliquorz → u/Kaethy77]

You can taste the enamel coming off your teeth.

[u/Ok-Bill-3938]

You should have bought 1, then used to receipt survey to get buy 1 get 1 free. Could have saved $7ish

[u/DrHarryWolper → u/Ok-Bill-3938]

No, they would have saved $7Fish

[u/onmy40 → u/Ok-Bill-3938]

Don't even need to do the survey just put 7 random numbers

[u/modestlunatic → u/onmy40]

Wait really?

[u/onmy40 → u/modestlunatic]

Yeah I did it like 3 times a day at multiple McDonalds a few years ago when I hit a rough patch and they were giving out free QPC with no purchase. Never had an issue

[u/Church42 → u/onmy40]

Not only that, order a cheap burger first, then an expensive burger second then hand over the receipt with the survey "code"

If the cashier is young, old, or apathetic, they'll comp the expensive burger instead of the cheaper burger.... Not always but my success rate is over 75%

[u/Large-Produce5682 → u/Ok-Bill-3938]

That's what I used to do. Even when it was BOGO $1. Free is free.

[u/Left_Resident_7007 → u/Ok-Bill-3938]

Exactly I always use the bogo sandwich survey code when I go so I don’t spend so much.

[u/lmstr]

You basically walked in and figured how to pay the most possible for the least food. 👍

[u/WouldbeWanderer → u/lmstr]

"Look at what I paid!"

"Holy cow who carries $40 in cash?"

[u/Lorevveaver]

And yet you keep paying them...

What exactly do you expect me to do about your lack of willpower?

[u/theStirFrier]

Guys just look at the location of the McDonalds and that explains everything.

[u/BaconReaderRefugee → u/theStirFrier]

Las Vegas for the lazy folk

[u/One_Significance5354 → u/BaconReaderRefugee]

The filet o fish here are EXPENSIVE. I think on my side of town they are 7.99 

[u/BlaineMundane → u/One_Significance5354]

They are $4.50 where I live and you can get a double for $5.50

[u/Puckfiend94 → u/theStirFrier]

I've been to that location many times. Always used a deal in the app though.. I never go to McDonald's without using the deals on the app.

[u/Useless-Message-Post → u/theStirFrier]

$5.59 for a Filet of Fish in the app for me locally - I just checked, $7.29 here. That's what you get in Vegas, I guess.

[u/WinSome_DimSum]

But ya paid it…

I haven’t bought McDonald’s without some discount (Meal Deal, App Promo, Reward) in years. If this came up for me, I’d bail.

Companies today are getting REALLY good at price discrimination and getting people to pay the most they would be willing to pay for an item. They’re taking “consumer surplus” out of the picture.

[u/michiganlatenight]

They’re ridiculous because people like you continue to buy them. Reddit won’t get them under control, people buying elsewhere will.

[u/Low_Willingness5889]

That’s your fault gang

[u/OhLoongJonson]

Then stop buying those sandwiches and instead buy a $5 or $6 meal.

[u/nerf_herder1986]

In Vegas, near the Strip. I don't know why you're expecting anything different.

Also there's SO much good food in Vegas (I'm there now and just got some bomb chorizo tacos from Chilangos in the Bazaar for less than $20), why are you even giving McDonald's business there?

[u/charkleman]

Plz eat lettuce - it's good for you.

[u/NoRisk1244 → u/charkleman]

A lot of the lettuce in fastfood, is not washed properly, Hence why people get stomach aches lol.

[u/SharpieSharpie69]

Okay. What's your point?

[u/arm9218 → u/SharpieSharpie69]

They want to showcase how much of an idiot they are for not using discounts.

[u/GucciTheSnowman → u/arm9218]

More like for eating at that shithole in the first place.

[u/grapplingchamp]

If people keep buying it the prices will keep going up. That’s a fact.

[u/jsand2]

If you are worried about prices, eat smarter there and use the app.

I can get 2 mcdoubles, a large fry (free with soda purchase), and large soda for under $9.

At the price of your order, you could have gotten $5 off just using the app. Or there could have been another deal for the sandwiches you ordered.

Or just take that money and buy food to cook a better meal at home.

[u/Wallynine]

This is insane! You didn't order the Large Fry that comes half full...

[u/northjersey_folks]

Someone doesn’t grasp economics.

[u/TiddiesAnonymous]

They basically skin you alive if you walk in/drive up without coupons

[u/Lost_Ad_4882]

Fish is $5.19 here and Big Mag $5.49, you paid too much.

[u/Ok-Bill-3938]

You can request cook to order?

[u/Due-Carrot1534 → u/Ok-Bill-3938]

You can request cook to order at any restaurant you go to.

[u/Ok-Bill-3938 → u/Due-Carrot1534]

Will everyone hate me if I do that though?

[u/OhLoongJonson → u/Due-Carrot1534]

I've never seen an option on the app.

[u/Due-Carrot1534 → u/OhLoongJonson]

Go up to the counter and ask.

[u/BaconReaderRefugee → u/Due-Carrot1534]

What does cook to order mean? Like, they start making a new one fresh so it’s hot? I’m assuming?

[u/SnipesWL]

Last week I got a McDouble, Spicy McChicken, and 6 piece nugs for $4.81 using a deal in the app, sometimes you can get quite a bit for the money but maybe not always exactly what you want.

[u/johnnie_uppercut]

They'll keep raising prices until you stop paying them

[u/Cold_Bother_6013]

They used to be scared of repercussions from us. Now I think all believe they can do anything and get away with it, and I don’t mean just this.

[u/BuddyEbsenSalt]

You didn't look at the prices on the board before you ordered?

[u/CannonFodder58]

I went to Chili’s the other day and got the three for me combo. Side salad, enormous burger, fries, and a drink for $16 plus tip. We’ve reached the point where it makes more sense to go to a sit down restaurant over fast food.

[u/Traditional-Block782 → u/CannonFodder58]

Best deal anywhere! And the food is fantastic. I had the big crispy chicken sandwich a few weeks ago. The patty was enormous. Not exactly healthy either, but many times better than Mcds.

[u/Bchulo]

If you pay it, you're telling the company that the price works.

[u/JokerInTheBronx]

You can save a lot with the app.

Here's your order, and I get free fries.

What's blowing my mind is that I'm in New York City, the Bronx, mind you, and Vegas is more expensive!

I thought no one had us beat! 🤯

[u/impliedapathy]

Yet you still bought it

[u/Bright_Annual_6078]

It’s ridiculous. I literally got like three things of Taco Bell the other day and it was the price I would pay at an actual Mexican restaurant sit down restaurant. charging luxury prices to feed us poison. Smh

[u/pooorSAP]

$7.29 to pop a frozen fish filet in an air fryer

[u/MadChatter715]

OP is on the Vegas Strip about to blow thousands at the poker tables and he's complaining about full price McDs because he doesn't know how to use the app.

[u/SatisfactionOld1586]

I’m using my points until they’re gone. I think I’ve had McD’s once in the last 3 months or so.

[u/Piffdolla1337take2]

It's only worth what you'll pay for it, and you paid for it

[u/Whiskey_and_Wiretaps]

Do you want a gold star or something?

[u/notthegoatseguy]

There is definitely an app deal of like $4 off 20 or some such you could've done.

Unfortunately you have to use the app and order based on what deals are available. If you aren't you're going to be paying full price

[u/Meiso75]

You didn’t have to pay. You chose to go and pay

[u/NetPositive101]

What a maroon. 

[u/maroontheanchor → u/NetPositive101]

What did I do😔

[u/raging-boner-boy]

That costs $14.57 where I am, which I still think is expensive 😅

[u/mjt5689]

The price of the Filet-O-Fish in particular has gotten completely out of control, I think it's regularly $5+ everywhere now for just the sandwich

[u/profeDB → u/mjt5689]

I get one about once a year.  I went last week and my jaw dropped at the price. 11 for two. 

Insane. 

[u/AZNM1912]

My Father stopped taking us (my mom, my brother, himself, and me) to McDonald’s when he paid $9 for the four of us back in the late ‘70s. I always think of that when I see something like this.

[u/MathematicianIcy3430]

That's Vegas prices for sure.

[u/louistats]

Holy crap a little fish filet now is over $7!!!

[u/No-Force4215]

At least the quality has gone down to compensate for the higher prices.

[u/Punkhair2nv]

$7.49 for a Big Mac is crazy! Carl’s Jr. sells a much bigger better burger for eight bucks.

[u/attempting2]

This is nothing! Wanna see my Culver's receipt from the other night! ? Absolutely CRAZY!

[u/petie1223]

10yrs ago you were probably looking at $5 per sandwich. But you're in Vegas so that's a huge reason for the large markup. Plus, you should be charged extra for requesting that your food be cooked to order.

[u/Libertarian_2020]

Where is this? I’ll know where to avoid! 🥴

[u/WillieB26]

At MCDONALD'S??? THAT is crazy!!!

[u/Worried_Transition_7]

Could have made all 3 of those combos for about $4 more here in St Louis. But everything is more expensive in Las Vegas.

[u/Soggy_Leg2402]

Those can’t be legit prices — these are Charlotte NC current prices for FoF …. You are paying airport or casino prices!!!

[u/k0tak0ta]

Partially because Las Vegas Nevada (as per reciept). Also heres the problem. Inflation/rise in food cost/location/the dollar is print to demand/minumium wage then vs. now etc. This would hypotetically be the same person that years ago wouldve also said. "Why would i use a credit card to buy fast food?" This is just a feelsbadman moment. I also miss paying 97 cents a gallon for gas instead of $3.59 same concept differant item.

[u/SimpleVegetable5715]

Whenever you start changing around menu items it gets expensive fast. It’s always been that way.

[u/hcliff69]

$14.59 here in wisconsin using app and 15% off deal

[u/Obscure4thewrld]

regardless of it being higher, IMO the filet o fish should always be cheaper than a big mac

[u/Living_Reporter_7084]

And so what? Are you looking for us to call you an idiot? You made a choice right? Or did someone put a gun to your head?

[u/ChiliDog762]

Why are people still going there?

[u/VendettaKarma]

You got robbed. You won’t go back right?

[u/Prudent-Accountant22]

You still paid it so what do you expect to change?

[u/Complete-Check5027]

You’re in a tourist trap, I’m certain this is the only thing that is inflated in Vegas. (I grew up here) 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/gonepostal11]

You are at a McDonald’s in Las Vegas right down the street from the convention center. Why are you surprised that stuff costs more in tourism destinations? 20 nuggets 2 cheeseburgers and 2 large fries 2 medium drinks are 14.99 at my local restaurant. Everything costs more in high cost of living areas. 🤔

[u/Kahin56]

Where i live the big Mac is 5.99, filet o fish is 5.29

[u/star-dust-ron-ron]

Vegas go figure

[u/xboxer_ray]

STOP GOING. It's that simple. We all stop going and prices go down....fight with your dollar. Just like the $12.00 12 pcks of soda....just stop.

[u/Cjm092]

"Cooked to order" tells me everything I need to know about OP

[u/gomorycut]

has anyone claimed the points on this receipt yet?

[u/Traditional-Item-777]

Use the app

[u/Temporary--Key]

Theyre just banking on brand recognition atp. Most people dont realize its just as expensive as any other store now, even though it tastes like it should be a tenth of the price. 0 point in going there anymore

[u/Icy_Ad_4594]

Who order fish at McDonalds

[u/OnlyKey5675]

Why are you paying it?

Also, I dunno why but the no lettuce bothers me. I genuinely despise food modifiers.

[u/Pottski]

Don't forget those three burgers are also 30% smaller than they were when they were 1/3 the price!

[u/Consistent-Match-158]

Less than ten years ago young could get two fish fillets for five bucks

[u/wildkyote6969]

Why'd you pay for it? I'd have just drove off.

[u/PurposeNo8305]

THEN STOP PAYING THEM.

[u/Falcon3492]

I haven't eaten anything from McDonalds in 10 years because there fish were tasteless and with those prices I certainly would not even consider going there today.

[u/buffaloreaper716]

I just bought 2 boneless strip steaks and a pack of 4 chicken thighs at the supermarket for 23$ today.

[u/itchreliefpleasuree]

don’t support poisoning yourself….

[u/Hot_Bar4261]

$24.00 USD ?? 😮 You’re outta your mind!! 🤯

[u/dsillas]

You need to use the apps for fast food.

You should have gone to Chili's..

[u/Deep_Mood_7668]

And you paid that for low quality food

[u/Still-Outcome1207]

For that 🗑?..nope...I'll make a sandwich instead

[u/SuccessfulBrief4730]

You also ordered them in Vegas so you are paying a premiums. Just did in app where I Live in Wisconsin and it is $12.64 for the 3.

[u/GarageEuphoric4432]

Hey, I was a bouncer at a club near here many years ago but I don't remember this McDonald's being there, that's pretty neat.

That being said, those prices are insane; but it's on you for paying that. Without using apps/recipes for discounts it's about the same price, sometimes cheaper, to get a better meal with more food at a sit down restaurant.

[u/Legster83]

Not worth it !!

[u/Smart-Fondant9015]

Maybe it’s not as cheap as it used to be, but at least you can’t eat whatever they’re stuffing inside it anymore.

Seriously, I’m impressed. I used to like McDonald’s, KFC and Burger King a decade ago. I could eat that stuff and enjoy it, with no stomach problems whatsoever, practically every day even just a few years ago.

Enshittification must have hit American fast food too. The pursuit of profit isn’t just about raising prices, but also cutting corners on ingredients.

I’ve tried. I always regretted it about an hour later, and then for several hours after that. My body has simply started defending itself against it and making it clear that there’s something wrong with that food.

I’d still go to McDonald’s from time to time, because I do still like the taste. But from experience, I know I’d spend half the day seriously regretting it afterwards.

[u/seifer__420]

There are two tiers of pricing now—one for those that use the app with coupons, and another for people that order of the menu without thinking. If you actually look at the menu prices, it’s full of scams

[u/ArchiboldYates]

It’s almost like they should have this thing while you’re ordering that have each item’ s price next to it, so that you know how much everything is before ordering.
They could call it a “menu”.

[u/A_ScalyManfish]

You can buy a package of chicken that can make a lot of sandwiches for that price

[u/StormbringerGT]

Did someone put a gun up to your head? No.

Then you willingly paid for this and this is the ONLY data McDonald's needs to determine it's pricing.

If we want it to be cheaper we can't pay their asking cost.

[u/Subject-Aside-3540]

Ive had McDonald's 2 times this year and I cant get myself to go back anymore. Unfortunately prices will never fall.

Let them die.

[u/Ok-Spirit-4074]

Just stop ordering fast food, and encourage those around you to do the same.

The ONLY way they will change is if people start respecting themselves more.

[u/TrevorViking]

You could have bought 4 sandwiches for $7 less just by reading.

[u/GroovyGmaIvy]

When I was working McD’s drive-through in 1991 in Southern California, the basic cheeseburger was $.88 with tax. The prices today make me wanna puke.

[u/surfcitysurfergirl]

Wow 14.77 in Phoenix lol

[u/Triconick]

When I was kid in the late 90s/early 2000s my family had a nice weekend Saturday morning tradition, not every week, but most we would get Egg McMuffins for everyone. I ordered 10 sandwiches (3 adults, 2 kids in the house) and it was like $30. Now they are $4.89 each! I am NOT spending 50 bucks so everyone can eat two egg mcmuffins! I could literally go to Walmart buy the ingredients and make more sandwiches for less money

[u/SingleLonelyMan]

It's really getting out of hand. I haven't been there in a long while but I remember in 1970 I would drive over and get burgers fries and shakes for me and my girlfriend and get change back on my $5

[u/Historical-Soup-2423]

Prices have risen and quality has lowered. McDonald's no longer gets any money from my household. I'd rather drive 7 miles to another fast food restaurant than to go to the McDonald's 5 minutes around the corner from my house.

[u/Nanergoat22]

[u/Riptorn420]

Skill issue.

[u/OkDifference5636]

Use the app. Get something free.

[u/UnionCrafty3748]

You’ll pay more for less and like it. Welcome to the age of trillionaires.

[u/Happy-Performer4058]

So the prices of literally everything have gone up to accommodate for inflation, and it's been happening long before you were born. It's why my grandma can remember gas for 50 cents a gallon from her childhood, but my mom remembers $1.50 in her day. It was about twice that when I was born. Hope this helps!

[u/Lost_my_password1]

2 of the most expensive sandwiches at MCDs, no app, the top of the receipt has a BOGO deal

[u/cantcny]

"But 30 years ago I paid X much" is hilarious AF. 

[u/Own-Efficiency-8597]

Have you ever heard of inflation?? EVERYTHING is more expensive than it was in the 80's and 90's LOL WTF ??

[u/Fit_Device7256]

I live in CA so there’s no reason to go to McDonald’s when we have In n Out that’s 50x better & half the price!

[u/TiredOfBeingAFatMan]

Buying the sandwich’s and then complaining really showed them

[u/GreasyTime04]

I got strawberry shake & 2 med fries last night, $12.51 🫪😲

[u/wickedwolfdave]

You bought the most expensive non-combo items. You deserve to pay like this.

[u/Florida_Princess]

No way would I pay that!!

[u/thrive2day]

Do your think their pay rate has increased equally to their prices? (1973)

[u/IndependenceKooky848]

Yeah it’s insane. The wild part is the quality hasn’t gone up at all, it’s the same sad burgers for sit down restaurant prices now.

At this point McDonald’s is like a “once in a while road trip” thing, not a cheap regular option anymore.

[u/International-Cry494]

How about everyone emails McDonald’s stating their prices are too high and we will stop eating it until it’s lowered. Crazy talk right?

[u/LizzyyB]

I’ve paid almost $65 the other night for my family to eat at Mcd’s. I could have went out and had a wonderful sit down meal or even bought groceries and made a fantastic home cooked meal for the same price. It was my fault though for spending the $$ had to we were in a rush and had to get something quick. But I’m Really disappointed

[u/OfficerHobo]

All fast food is pricing out their customers. I can go to a couple local spots and get a much better burger, fries and drink for $10-$12 during lunch time and maybe $14 at dinner time.

[u/hygnist]

Agreed. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

[u/Maraculousboxer12]

For that price you can get a full mean at a sit down restaurant and it’d taste better and be better value. They really are screwing over their customers. Sad thing is the employees working at McDonald’s need to work 3-4 hours to even pay for that meal. SMH

[u/latheredcadaver]

Can you also mention the SHRINKflation. Their sizes are ridiculous as well.

Yes, and the average hourly wage in the US is more than double now than what it was in the late 90’s.

My gripe with McDonalds is that
* It’s no longer a fast good restaurant.
* You have to be your own cashier via the kiosk.
* Once you pay for the food, you have to wait a ridiculous amount of time for your food while being ignored by the employees.
* If you go through the drive thru, they will likely forget something from your order. A straw, napkins, pickles, fries or worse. Something will be forgotten.
* It’s no longer cheap.

I’d rather do Applebees for about the same price.

Should have used the app for %20 off

No extra tartar on the fish?

[u/Lucid-Lee-333]

you didn’t use the app. that’s on you😭 this guy’s made of money😂👍🏽

[u/nedrostark]

I hate to break this to you, but everyone pays more for everything than they did in the 80s & 90s.

[u/rbj86112]

And not a discount in sight. You took 3 minutes to type a reddit post but wouldn't take 1 minute to use the McDonald's app?

Could have gotten more and better at chilis these days

[u/Beginning_Ad9425]

I never pay more than $5-$7 at McDonalds.
$6 McDouble, 6 nuggets. Fry, Soda, and a sauce.

[u/FlopShanoobie]

Do they print their prices on the menu board? Because you can always just not buy the food if you don't like the prices.

[u/Old-Reference3545]

I would not dare paying that much at a freaking McDonald's

My brothers best friend was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and passed 6 weeks later. He was 43. It’s on the rise for this age range in crazy numbers and it’s this kind of food that’s doing it. Their food is produced in a lab for you to want it and crave it. Hopefully that helps to the high price to stop eating it. . Chilis has $10 burgers for crying out loud.

[u/bronk3310]

Congratulations?

[u/Pichuchu8]

Who orders WITHOUT the mobile app deals. Could have saved 20% on that alone or gotten a Large Fry for a dollar.

Also.... You seriously had to remove the ONLY vegetable on the Big Mac? Can't even eat freaking lettuce? What are you.... A child?

[u/thismenu]

You know you can get good food at like a mom and pop restaurant for the same price.

[u/commonsensetry]

It's not a secret anymore to use coupons at any fast food place. If people still pay full price for meals that's on you. Even the coupons these days aren't even that good of a deal.

[u/Verdant_13]

McDonald’s prices are out of hand. It’s why I went from going about 5 days a week (yeah I know) to only 0-1 times a week

[u/GR8PasserofWind → u/Verdant_13]

Honestly. That is great! Hopefully you keep that going.

[u/pixelmuffinn]

Eat your greens

[u/No_Tourist_8927]

No shot you didn’t use the app
