McDonald's in the 80s compared to today

We're talking about kids getting McDonalds lmao. My gf and I can eat at McDonalds for $10 total and be totally satiated. They have so many deals and will literally just give you free food after eating enough there (3ish times). People can definitely afford to buy their kids McDonalds. My mother use to spend like $7.99 for a panda plate alone in the early 2000s when I was a kid

I don't even know why I have to argue this lmao I literally was at a McDonalds like two weeks ago, and the playplace was littered with children

Dude, a burger combo is like $18 after tax.

Yeah you can stock up on McDoubles for cheap, but no fries, no drink, and small burgers are your only option now for a cheap meal at McDonald’s.

Where the fuck do you live LMAO, definitely am not paying anywhere near that in Texas, and like I said, using the app for deals can get you way more food than you would even want for cheap. Literally having things like buy one big mac and get another for free lol. Do you eat like 4000 calories a day or something?

The best deal I’ve seen in my country is 2 quarter pounders for $18.99 and it’s rarely there.

I live in Canada, so it’s closer to $16 US

Nobody here is paying $20 fucking dollars for 2 half decent burgers, most restaurants in my area are complaining that fewer and fewer people are ordering fries or a drink, they’re just getting the burger which is nearly half price of the combo.

It’s like $8.99 for the burger, and $16.99 for the combo (+tax)

Idk move to a place that doesn't suck then lmao. Nobody paying anywhere near that here. Also maybe stop ordering large fries, large drink, plus dessert with everything

again, use the apps/deals, and you never pay anywhere near that
