    It’s interesting that McDonalds saw increased traffic among higher-income shoppers. Apparently even high income people are feeling the pressure because they’re apparently choosing to eat McDonald’s over their usual restaurants.

        And the portions are half of what they used to be. Shrinkflation is insane, a burger is the size of a slider these days.

        I went to Taco Bell the other week and spent $20 on processed crap.

        I went to a local burger joint and spent $16 on a damn good burger and fries.

                Shit, for real?! Now i went from sad to angry. Honestly it was probably just as well though, i was having a hard time justifying the price of their food anyway, stopped eating there a couple years ago… Not that i was a frequent customer to begin with

          You can also go to Taco Bell and get the $5 meal box, it’s one of the last fast food chains that still has a reasonably priced option.

        Maybe they’re not used to cooking.

        But sometimes you just want a sloppy, shitty burger that you didn’t have to cook.

        I don’t think people are eating at McDs bendy they want it.

        We’re eating it because we have no time, and little money. We’re running behind and trying to get somewhere. If we had the time we would be eating at home.
