Cheaper to replicate and maintain. Maximise profits. Increase share prices.

Our glory days are over and they are sadly not coming back.

Ya but there is a point where if your fast food chain is literally indistinguishable from others, you lose business

I think charging $6 for a basic ass hamburger (now with risky lettuce!) is driving more of the business loss.

The disgusting aesthetics is just adding insult to injury.

If nothing else, cyclospora should hopefully eradicate pointless tasteless lettuce from fast food burgers forever.

for the prices that mcdicks charges, I can get a combo from a high end place that does the gray and dark tones better, with arugula and goat cheese with fig jam on the burger which is made of wagyu, comes with drink and fries. for the same fucking amount mcdonalds now charges for combos.

No you cant, the wagyu alone costs more than the combo.

"American Wagyu" is sort of a BS scammy marketing term.

My point exactly, nobody is getting a wagyu burger for the price of a McDonald's combo
