    Ah my bad dude. Poor reading comprehension.

    FWIW I see McDs around me in Manchester, UK packed with people all the time. Seems people have a higher tolerance for price increases than me.

    I used to eat McD when it was reasonable price for trash food which was convenient and fast. Now you can eat better food for the same price. Plus it’s all self service and you have to practically beg to find someone for salt or napkins. Greedy fuckers.

      I remember two pies for a dollar (usd, late 1990s). My family realized this was VERY cheap roadtrip breakfast and we quickly got sick of them on that roadtrip. You can only eat so many of 10 dollars worth of pies once or twice. I still remember following that up with stopping at a grocery store and buying a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk and thinking “REAL FOOD”

      All good! I can see why it read the way it did initially.

      Maybe it’s different depending on where you are. Here in the US in Atlanta, GA fast food places are largely empty with a few exceptions.

      Yeah they are greedy as hell. It’s expensive to eat out in general now (moreso than it was).
