No one eats that poison. Over-priced goyslop to enable dependency on the medical-industrial complex. Those dumb enough to eat that shit, deserve what they get. It doesn't rot. You can leave it in the trash and come back weeks later and it will appear untouched. The bugs won't even eat that shit.

Idk man McDonalds is so good, there have been times in my life I went years without eating it. I cried tears of joy the last time I started eating McDonald’s again, when it’s good it takes ya back to moments in time that were also good
>>
>>535637820
Its not my fault the poster isn't articulate enough to convey his idea. Autism much. The point is, no one eats that shit anymore. So they've raised prices. Find another way to qualify Jewish greed. Cause goyslop is too expensive even for the goyim.

Gen X here
Explain something to me OP
How was it that I could buy two double cheese burgers for $2 in 1987
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5tKYOTC5QI
And I could still buy two double cheeseburgers for $2 12 years later in 1999
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=151EoVEi9pA
But now, the prices on everything at McDonald's are not just high, but going up, almost on a monthly basis.

You seem to be missing our primary complaint. Inflation is out of control and it is extremely obvious to people just a few years older than you.
>>
>>535637004
You can throw any of that on the ground come look at it a week later, it will still be there and it will look the same.
>>
>>535637004
That’s a fairly small amount of McDonald’s for an average sized person I’d say? I wouldn’t want to eat all that but I easily could
>>
>>535638575
Truly half of the appeal of McDonald’s was that you could get a double cheeseburger for 2 bucks. The day they started charging more than that they crossed a line that shouldn’t have been crossed, charging premium sandwich prices for value menu items at this point

in 1991 that was real potatoes, patties were about 1800% thicker and didn't have human DNA in them like today's fast food meat, the cola had real sugar and no HFC and you ate there once a week maybe, not every night because working moms still knew how to cook a few days a week and shit, 10 year olds could cook too so we made our own food when nobody else would. hell i'd even take my allowance and go to shoneys on my bike sometimes with my gf and our other friends and it was like $8

>Americans unironically use McDonald's as a measure of their economy.

I thought it was a joke
>>
>>535638575
I'm not OP, but let me explain it to you anyways:
1. It's bad that the fucking burgers stayed $2 for 12 years.
2. They did that by replacing the food with poison.
3. You got used to eating cheap poison.
4. They are removing the cheap poison now and moving back toward real food.
5. So now you are paying for not just the current inflation, but all that inflation you "skipped" for 12 years.
What were these substitutions?
>1979: Switch from fresh beef to frozen.
>1987: Corn syrup, artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors added to all burgers.
>1990: Subbed beef tallow for the cheapest hydrogenated trans-fat seed oils possible. Fries go from 4 to 6 ingredients, potatoes, beef tallow, cottonseed oil, and salt, now to potatoes, hydrogenated basedbean oil, corn sugar, beef flavoring, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, and salt.
>1993: Chickens and beef loaded with hormones and antibiotics and other drugs.
>1997: Onions shifted to raw, cheese goes artificial and blander, big mac patty size and sauce portion decreased.
>2003: Chicken "reformulated" to more modern and lower fat version of pink slime.
>2007: Oil moves to palm oil and other filthy shit. Fries now max out at 14 ingredients. Potatoes, beef flaovring, hydrolyzed wheat, hydrolized milk, canola, corn, and basedbean oil, hydrogenated basedbean oil, dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, citric acid, Dimethylpolysiloxane, Tertiary Butylhydroquinone, and salt.
Now the return of normal ingredients:
>2016: High fructose corn syrup removed from all sandwiches and sides.
>2017: Switch to partially antibiotic-free chickens.
>2018: Quarter pounder goes from frozen to fresh again.
>2019: Artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors removed from burgers.
>2020: Permanent removal of salads and grilled chicken due to quality concerns.
>2021: Move to cage free eggs.
>2024: Back to the past: Onions are flashed onto patties directly on the grill, cheese is melted sharper, and the Big Mac sauce portion is increased.

It's a flex of soft power. McDonald's is nigger tier slop, but being able to easily and cheaply satiate the plebs is something most nations have difficulty doing
>>
>>535637453
Because goyslop was cheap? The 90's were certainly the best time to be a consumer. You could eat at McDonald's and shop at Walmart and wear a football jersey and shape your entire identity around the products your buy and there was no cynical element of society pointing out how retarded it was. Things are objectively better today, but it's up to you to make life better for yourself. The baseline level of happiness you achieve by being a sheep guzzling goyslop isn't that great.

>>535639777
Labor's only 20% or so of a MickeyD's operating costs in the US. Rent is 15%. Food and packaging is 30%. Royalty fee is 5%. A&M fee is 4%. Utilities and maintenance are 10%. Credit card fees are 3%. Insurance and tech fees are 3%. The other 10% is profit.

Labor's cost proportion has gone up some, but so has rent and gas and electric etc. etc.

I used to say often the the United States was great because no matter how poor you were, you could always walk to a McDonald's and get something hot to eat. I don't say that anymore, now that a chicken tendie is on the "value menu" for $2.99
>>
>>535640450
Believe it or not, McDonald's used to serve real, and quality food. They used to even cook their own burgers there on a flat top. I've only ever experienced McDonald's like that once way out in the boonies somewhere a long time ago and it was delicious.

this. mcdonalds unironically created the fresh farm to table supply chain
>>
>>535640250
Yup. And from when it debuted in 1967 to 1983 the price quadrupled, from 45¢ to $1.80. From 1983 to 2000 the price only went up 44¢ from $1.80 to $2.24. The only way for that to be possible is by cutting quality and quantity. Gen X remembers this period fondly as a period of price stability. But it was the super size era full of the worst possible ingredients. They just learned to treat garbage as "a bargain!"
>>

BTW, millennials and gen Z are guilty of this too, only with the Costco Hot Dog. That fucking thing stays that price because they are sourcing the nastiest rotten worm-ridden anus meat and pumping it full of chemicals and filler.

90% of revenue goes to operating costs and food/packaging. 10% goes to profit. It's all rough anyways. Prorate to 18% if you want. In some places it's 22. Same idea either way you want to think about it.

Inflation historically didn't exist because everything was on the gold standard. Only way to have inflation was someone discovering a massive amount of gold and bringing it into a nation to devalue gold locally. You're also asking to compare inflation of a house after inflation began to before. Go compare the price of a house in 1800 to the price of a house in 1700.

10% - 15% of revenue is profit. Anyone with a business knows that.

How many actually get paid $7.25?
It's bullshit so many keep referring to Fed minimum when local and state can raise wages as much and often as they want.

>>
>>535637004
Prices in 1991 were high compared to what they would become. Consider that as late as 2012 or early 2013 you could get a McChicken on the dollar menu for $1. Of course the cheeseburger was also $1, so that went up.
>>
>>535651171
Only about 3/4 of a million get paid at or under the federal minimum (farm worker exemptions etc). But about a full third of US workers, about 60 million, get paid under $12/hr. And nearly half are under $15.
>>
>>535639744
Funny, because the last time I set foot in a McD's the smell was horrible, like rottten meat, and I noped out of there. The food quality there now is WAY worse than it was in the 90s.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich.

I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

>>535653394

Not even in a "le fast food is le gross!" performative way, I love fast food, but even compared to every other sandwhich at mcdonalds or compared to a chicken sandwhich from any other chain the mcchicken sucks.
