    it’s especially baffling in a world of air fryers and frozen fries

      Coming home from an event last night around 2145, I could either stop at McDonald’s and spend roughly £5 on dinner and eat immediately; or I could drive 20 minutes home, start cooking and eat at almost 11pm. But the good news is I’d save about £3!

      … I mean, I still didn’t eat at McDonald’s, but like I understand why someone might

        I worked closing shift, it was sometimes faster for me to cook then rely on mcdonalds to have my food ready in a timely manner. At some point of the night they start cooking everything to order, so I pull into mcdonalds, spend 10-15 minutes waiting, or I can drive home spend the same amount of time cooking and sleep around the same time and save like 20$. Was a no brainer for me

        that being said, it’s insane to me the pricing difference there. A meal here is at least10-15$ so to think of getting supper at a mcdonalds for roughly a third of that … I haven’t seen that in years
