Eight dollars for large fries and a small root beer at McDonalds?
Get the f@ck outta here!! I remember I used to take the kids there for happy meals on their way home from a “daddy weekend.” They’d each get a small burger, fries, and a drink, and I recall that being well under 8 bucks. At Chucks Roadhouse I can get an adult-sized burger and a big plate of fresh-cut fries for under ten bucks… before taxes of course, but that’s a real meal, whereas today’s Mickey Dee adventure was a mere snack for the Farm Manager. Mind you, if you want a cheesburger they’re gonna hit you another four bucks, so I recomment you bring your own cheese. There’s a lot of places where your basic burger & fries runs over $20 now. That puts a modest lunch for two, with a beer to wash it down, in the 75-80 range after taxes and a respectful tip. When I say “respectful” I mean towards the staff who serve you. There’s a move afoot in some circles to do away with tipping. They claim tipping is just a way for restaurant owners to fob off their responsibility to pay their staff a living wage. While there may be an element of truth to that, there’s a bigger element of truth in the fact the folks claiming the moral high ground in the war on tipping are just too f@cking cheap to leave a tip.

Here’s a tip. Be cheap, stay home, keep the tip.
After a while those joints will close and those workers will work somewhere where they get a living wage and not depend on someone buying food, paying taxes, paying wages, for a meal they can make at home buying food and paying taxes and skipping the paying wages.
Our neighbors collectively can cook great meals, and maybe one day we will tap that resource and the neighbors who make great burgers can do it cheaper than a res5that has employees, insurance, wages, rent, utilities, and essential needs before it purchases the food it sells.
It’s overpriced coming from outside the home. It’s an entitlement, not a necessity to eat out. Enjoy while you can afford to. The cheapskates will eat at home and spend the savings on vacation or something enjoyable.
I miss eating at McDonalds but I haven’t been there in over 6 months. I refuse to pay exorbitant prices for what they offer. We cook burgers and fries at home now. LOL, it looks like bidenomics is about to plow all the fast food joints under.
Why are you eating there? Do you not know they put children in their hamburgers? It’s a good thing you only ate french fries. And well root beer has parts of aborted babies in it. They use them as flavor enhancers. Wake up!
$12.00 plus tax for two ‘Filet-o-Fish’ sandwiches. They taste exactly like the 1970 $0.45 Filet-o-Fish and looked tiny. The Golden Arches have made the grade. BEWARE of their WiFi systems. The McDonald’s I ventured to patronize served up a generous and tasty $1.49 cup of coffee and the fastest WiFi which wandered WAY above any download rate which would be considered safe. McPsycho is on the menu. A number of McDonald’s were busted for serving meat featuring human genes. wtf?
They still squeeze 10 hamburgers out of a pound of meat. They needed the clown to con the children into demanding McDonald’s food. Ronald McDonald really did quit the gig out of shame. Emmet Kelly had his famous ‘dead-pan’ delivery, but no clown can make humor and good times out of shame.
