$5 meal my brother in christ a big mac meal is like $11 something.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 48 points 1 day ago

No, it's definitely the new $5 meals that they just rolled out like a month or two ago that are basically priced the same as a Happy meal with a similar amount of food

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 43 points 1 day ago

The fry company is blaming the meal deals because they come with a small fry instead of a giant one lol

Jesus fucking christ

Potatoes are cheap as fuck and fries make so much money

[-] Eco@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago

at least in europe, potatoes aren't nearly as cheap as they used to be as the changing climate has led to a couple of terrible harvests in a row

idk if it's the same in the usa though

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

Back home if the harvest isn't doing so good they crack open liberal skulls and get them that way

If this is what I think it is, and it really might be, they probably had a predicted profit they didn't meet and considered it a failure (similar to how dead space 2 was a financial success but didn't meet the predicted profit and so was deemed a failure and why dead space 3 was made to appeal to a broader audience).

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I remember EA saying that if Dead Space 3 didn't sell 10,000,000 copies then it would be considered a failure

Which, only shit like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto sells like that

SMDH Bidenflation strikes again joever

I was gonna say the fucking fries themselves are more than $5 and they're cold and soggy by the time they hand you the bag half the time.

[-] Sinister@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Even fastfood is now expensive.

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, sure. "The deal is too good! We're goin' out of business!" C'mon Mr. Krabs, we're not falling for this shit or Red Lobster's.

Aren't many people boycotting McD*nald's due to the company endorsing Zionism? That will decrease your profits for sure.

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not inside amerikkka, mena had dropped though (but only like 5 percent). They use locally sourced fries (or at least from europe), so i couldn't make a case for unlimited bankrupcies on the first world, when i looked into it a week ago

I don't understand how shareholders don't recognise a lazy complacent CEO when they see one

[-] gearheart@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

Bet you the CEO still got a payday and payoff

How is McDonald’s still around? Their response to competition was to cut staff and increase prices. Their food sucks so bad

the 5 dollar meals have been missing for fuckin years and have been "back" for like, 6 months tops.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

lol, so fucking funny.

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

McDonald's going under would be one hell of a "October surprise"
