No, I won't. I don't eat that crap.

I do go to fast-food once in a while, but in my experience McDonald's is really the worst of them, mediocre is too generous. Not any cheaper for basically cardboard.
There is a mexican food truck that will give me two meals worth of food for $10. I haven't eaten "fast" food in a long time, but I live in the city. There is an indian grocery store that sells samosas, as well as other items, hot and ready.
I would rather hit a Quick Trip or Circle K before I would touch McDonald's or any YUM! brand, basically any fast food or chain. And I am still not keen on gas station food. I eat from locally owned if I eat out, usually. (grabbing food while going on site at work will cause me to make exceptions: still won't do McDonald's. I have done Arby's if they have a good deal, or Subway has a good meal of the day).
So they have a financial benefit now in slowing down food delivery times?
I refuse to believe that making every single drive through order pull up and park makes the experience better for anyone. It's about artificially driving down wait time metrics by making us wait more inconveniently for everyone. Nonetheless, I'm sure they will be happy to install ad screens in their numbered parking spots.
Just stop doing it.
"Nah, I'll wait" is a perfectly valid response.
Urrgh! Doesn’t it feel exhausting that they want to extract more and more from you, including your attention whilst you’re browsing the menu.
Its already annoying enough that the menu changes as you're looking at it.
Haha. 'Next time'.
Don't you have enough fucking money, McDonald's?
We'll be right with you shortly, Please enjoy this word from our sponsors:

Oh god. This is the future. The Disneyworld price structure at McD's.
Why pay to remove ads when you can pay and still have ads?
McDonald must be panicking a little bit after recent financial reports. They have lost a lot of business from their consumers buying something 'cheap and quick'.
I'm usually not going to spend $15-$20 on a McValueless meal when I can go somewhere else for that price. Let's not forget the everyday struggle McDonalds employees have when it comes to putting your entire meal and sauces in the bag at the drive through. Don't drive away and come back to tell them or you will have a manager interrogating you as if you're trying to steal some gourmet shit.
How about you train your employees better or take your job less serious because you're just another disposable employee to McDonald’s. This situation definitely didn't happen to me the last time I went there. I'm not salty about trusting McDonald's is competent enough to give me what I pay for without having to argue about it.
The fact that McDonald's is struggling is a symptom of the K-shaped economy. Let's be real, McDonald's is where the poors and middle class eat. If the poors and the middle class are doing worse financially, McDonald's is a discretionary expense that is going to get cut. If McDonald's wants to survive, they better figure out some new products and markets to expand into where people have disposable income to spend.
This is desperation as much as saying water is wet. Fast food has exceeded it's peak and is crumbling. People aren't getting excited for fillers; and this goes to a lot of things like frozen food. I'm not sure what exactly is being used as a filler that makes pretty much everything taste and feel like putting a bar of soap in your mouth, but that will lead to their downfall. And it's not me; everything tastes great whenever I'm overseas... even the McDonalds.
Palm oil is a big one for me.
someday for some reason I will likely end up being at one and have forgotten all about this and be like. wtf
I haven't been to one in a literal decade
I definately was at them post covid and then when egg prices surged their breakfast sandwiches were a relatively good deal I think because of previous contracts they had. That I think was the last point where I was going to them. I actually remember after that I was running home while my wife was in the hospital to let the dog out before coming back and broke down as I needed something to eat quick. man I regretted it. should have just picked up a protein bar.
why on earth would I be at an american-owned fast food chain that is renowned for serving overpriced crap out together by somebody who couldn't give a half a fuck about the burger being even moderately presentable?
oh, and the drive thru? I haven't been in one of those in years. I'll walk inside, thanks, then bitch about how they're prioritizing drive thru customers over the one person literally standing in front of them
Meh, I’ll stick with In-N-Out if I want a burger and fries. At least their employees are paid better, the food is better quality, and they don’t pull “make number go” up bullshit like this.
I've recently been to Five Guys for the first time and holy fuck, it was so much better than anything I've ever eaten at McDanooj. I'd say it's about as good as fast food can get even.
Don't get me wrong, it's still slop, but it's damn good slop.
I went vegetarian almost fifteen years ago and aside from a brief stint of working there out of desperation, I've had no reason to go in one because there's nothing there I can eat (no McPlant in the US). I don't miss it. At all. And from everything I've heard their food has only gotten worse in that time.
Everything we do, is going to be an advertisement.
I can't remember the last time I ate at McDonald's. It's been twenty years or more.
They are going to put ads on the burger buns...
Why am I subscribed to this fucking community if all you're going to post is clickbait about advertising. Jesus Christ fuck this place.
