The Daily Dot has previously reported on content creators who’ve called out the fast food giant for its high prices. Popular content creator Kevin Fredericks lamented the loss of the value menu, which a former McDonald’s corporate chef agrees has become virtually nonexistent. Additionally, a Connecticut-based customer revealed that a Big Mac combo cost them $16.89.
This is in Australia, and I can confirm that Maccas is stupidly expensive these days. Most fast food is really pricey and will probably only get worse. People associate it with good times or “being lazy” so they just get it by default without thinking about the price. People probably won’t break out of that habit unless they literally can’t afford it.
here in the states, every single day, if you have the app, you can buy a big mac and then get a quarter pounder for just another .29. its literally been helping me survive the last few months
I’ve heard that if you download the app you have to agree to waive your right to join a class action lawsuit against Mcdonalds though. But I’m glad you can get food like that. Maccas used to be my main source of hot food when I was really struggling a few years ago. I hope things turn around for you soon!
oh no, not the class action lawsuit that might get me 40 bucks in 6 years!
there was a point a few years ago where I thought “now all of this is trash, but only Nandos is pointlessly expensive trash”
no need to single out Nandos anymore lmao
I’ve always felt that about KFC, it’s just worse Kingsley’s, but twice the price. Yet people love KFC, the drivethrough is always full when I go past one. I don’t get it.
bruh I actually want to try kingley’s now after learning of it’s existence from a canberra mate who filmed some shitpost interviews for his upcoming music “festival”/day gig in one
why does everywhere but melbourne have its own hyperlocal chicken shop chain? Ogalos, El Jannah, Chicken Treat, Kingsley’s
It’s pretty good, real greasy, so it’s not the sort of thing you’d want to eat everyday. I grab it every time I’m in Canberra. Local fast food is always better than massive multi-nationals, it’s always cheaper and nicer. I thought it was in all the major cities though lol, but that would explain why I’ve never seen it in Sydney or Melbourne.
