Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices are going up due to inflation.

    Yeah, I can’t remember the last time I went to McDonalds: Progressively shitty food, progressively higher prices, and increasingly lengthy wait times.

    It’s not fast, it’s not good, it’s not cheap, and it’s not convenient.

      There’s better places for much less $$ nowadays.

      I miss the times when fast food was fast, you place your order and pickup your meal right after without waiting more than 10 seconds

        I actually miss when maccas used to make the stuff in bulk and chuck on a rack. you’d order, they’d grab your burger and stuff bag it and your done. now it’s “made to order” and while it’s admittedly pretty quick, during peak times you’ll be waiting a while.

        there was never an issue with the bulk system cause everything moved so quick anyway

          I would not describe any of them as “pretty quick” but I do know how long it takes to cook a burger and it’s never as long as I’d have to wait at these shitty places: It sure as shit doesn’t take 10-20 minutes to cook a burger on the presses they use. These corporations understaff their restaurants and pay shit wages, so, of course, they don’t get very good employees (or even if they do, why would they try very hard for that pay?)
