Same thing where I am, I could go to Wendy’s and get a meal for 15 dollars that won’t fill me up or I can go down the street and get a breakfast burrito the size of my forearm and a large drink that’ll last me until noon for 15 dollars. While I may be rather lanky in my arms that’s still a fucken forearm worth of food thatll hold me over till dinner.

McDonalds here in London is comical. I’m not even near the inner city (Greater London) and I’m surprised they get business these days.
The last time I wanted a burger I checked, and a meal was going for around £11+
I walked for five minutes and found a local place, paid about £7-8 for a proper good burger with better quality ingredients… They even asked me what kind of bun I wanted (went with brioche).
The meat wasn’t as thin as a pencil either.

Their competition is other expensive British food, so I could see the logic there.
Theres mcds in vietnam, selling their crap at american where you can walk 200 feet in any direction and get amazing food for like 60 cents.

That’s crazy! I hope the sales from the McDonalds branches, in Vietnam, are at least contributing to the country in a meaningful way through taxes etc.
(I don’t know about that sort of thing, I just hope the huge difference in price at least has some benefit to locals).
