OMG! I stopped at a McDonalds for the first time in years!! $9.46 for a Big Mac and fries!?!?!
I know I'm not normal. I don't watch TV, I don't eat in fast food restaurants, I hang out on the GBer Forums, I mean you get what I'm getting at.
How does a young couple with two kids afford to eat at McDonalds??
Seriously. My concept of McDonalds was always a cheap place to eat that had good fries. As I said I don't do fast food restaurants but I about fell out of my car when I ordered a Big Mac and fries and the girl said "That will be $9.46."
In todays world there are so many people who can't cook and eat out for every meal. How are people affording this??

Pretty soon it will be cheaper to just eat the money.

I used to enjoy going to taco bell. Then my daughter got a job there. She told me all the nasty stuff that goes on there, and that ended my desire for their food.

@Bubba Jr., after our Taco Bell had been open for about 6 mo. A guy I worked with, was commenting about what he had been told by his Sister. (Supposedly) A couple she knew, (boyfriend/girlfriend) that worked there, had been bragging about what they had been doing to LEO's and people they did not like, food.
It was disgusting. (I will not share it here, use your imagination.)
I found out what there names were and went in to speak to the Manager about what they had been bragging about to others.
Not sure how it was handled. I pretty much drastically reduced my visits to TB, after that.

I went to McDonalds and got a cheeseburger combo the first time in years and I got the 9 dollar plus sticker shock,but I had forgot how good the fries were.I guess fast food will do like the tobacco industry.The less people use it,the higher the price will go so profits will remain the same.When I started smoking cigarettes were 25 cents a pack here in the Carolinas.I quit when they went to 50 cents a pack.I saw them advertised for 8 dollars a pack at a Dollar General the other day.

When I was in high school .it did not matter so many kids serving food let's just say didn't respect the handling or care of the food
One popular place in town still there since early 1900's the kids all bragged about adding to any Leo order and all would spit into the big soup of the day pot every time they walked by
But the the government standards allow a precentage of roden hair and fecal matter in everything we eat as unavoidable
never been to one but every processing plant has horror stories No matter meat or produce
I guess we're all still alive and best to not think about what we have and will eat
Or we would never eat
As for me I did witness some I am guiltyfor not saying anything as a kid
b biggest confession and one time I regret now
When manwich just came out I was working at a store on stock night we had a case of dog food come in all the labels had fallen off . Not uncommon next aisle over a new case of manwich came in labels had not stuck to the cans
Let's just say some how the two cases got mislabeled as manwich and dog food

Seems as though I've attracted a "disagree"........but it's a free country........mostly.
If you would sir......state what portion of my previous post is untruthful, and/or give your position/reasoning pertaining to the subject.
Thank You

62vld2042, I went back up and looked at your comment. I'm guessing the wrong 'key' was punched.

Sometimes those buttons get clicked by mistake. I have done it myself in the past.

Yeah, I chalked it up to fat fingers when I got a disagree for giving condolences.

Here, I gave you another thumbs up. Maybe that will offset the one disagree. 😁

Recently bought a few McDonald's Filet of Fish sandwiches, was shocked that they're only about 3.5 inches in diameter now and about 3 bites with the highest price I've ever seen. I remember when they had actually served large sandwiches and not this trimmed back Biden Economics crap going on! Sad!
TRUMP 2024

Been there, done that. Glad there’s a way for a user to undo a disagree they mistakenly pressed.
(edited…now that I’m educated)

All you have to do is touch it again. Poof!! It's gone.
Try it.

Dang…I feel pretty foolish…didn’t want to add another disagree so never tried it. Thanks for the tip - and glad it worked @KenK/84Bravo … otherwise you'd have another disagree.

I know most all of remember making less than 2.00a hour just rounded off
Get paid then Filling the car up with gas picking up our girlfriend or just a buddy go by a fast food place have dinner then maybe go on to the drive in or theater and get more food and popcorn
Even the nearest drive thru for a six pack of beer or mountan dew inmy case and still have money for the rest of the week for gas and food
Well unless like me you blow out a clutch break some part on your car racing or buying a bigger cam new carb . and so on then what may have been food or gas for the week just went to my car .
Point is even making almost nothing we still had fun and some change left
Talk about cheap dates lol

Ronald McDonald is rolling in his grave right now!
There are going to be a lot of fast food places vacant and abandoned in the near future.

Well at least that explains so many news reports of people in fast food places going nuts hitting the counter people throwing food even shooting them over order mistakes or short a couple French frys in their order

About $20 for a 2 pack of ribeye steaks. I'd rather stop at the grocery store on the way and have steaks cooked on my charcoal grill than eat at Mickey D's.
