It used to be that McD’s was shit, but at least it was fast and cheap.
Now it’s still shit (maybe even worse), but also quite expensive … and it’s not even that fast anymore.

It stopped being fast years ago, precovid even. Pretty much as soon as delivery services became popular as those got higher priority than people being in the restaurant, the waiting times become equal to an actual restaurant.
Last drop for in restaurant was 45 minutes of waiting.Price rose somewhere in between there and now as well and by now even delivery isn’t fast.
Last drop with delivering was about a year ago, it was still kinda last minute quick back up option when coming from somewhere late in the evening and being rather tired to cook as i could order while I still on the road towards home.
It still took about an hour to arrive, most of the time was in cooking.
I could have reached home and still easily cooked something up at home and it would have been faster.By now MCD is as expensive and slower than an actual restaurant with every possible way of ordering. So i don’t even consider this as an option when out with the family.

I’ve started comparing everything to the $30+ for underwhelming Sonic food recently. Since then, things that have been the same price or less:
-
1x smoked pork sandwich, 1x smoked brisket sandwich, 1x large mac and cheese ($32ish)
-
1x turkey/dressing/cranberry sauce/macaroni/rice and gravy, 1x baked chicken, 1x mashed potatoes, 2x macaroni, 2x yeast rolls, 1x peanut butter pie, 1x lemon pie ($35)
-
Buy one, get one free wood-fired pizzas after 10 PM near me. Two pizzas for $14.95.
Fuck fast food. Try your local places. Deals are out there and you meet people.

Grocery store deli counter can be an incredible place to get very good and affordable food, just saying.

This honestly does not fit. $5 for a burger, fries, nuggets and a drink. I hate myself for doing it, but there just isn’t cheaper food.The next best thing is paying maybe $8 (if you’re lucky) for a frozen pizza that you need at least a half hour of time for.
I ry do hate it, but trying to paint McDonald’s as overly priced right now makes me think that you are either very out of touch, you have never had to love on truly bad food for long periods of time, or you’re just posting this to get people to agree with you.

Where are you located? Their prices can vary wildly even within the same city. Check this out: reddit.com/…/i_compared_mcdonalds_menu_prices_acr…
Only a few items under $5 here, and for the cheapest meal upgrade you still have to add on another $5.

I’m not from the US, over here it’s really expensive for really crappy food.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 month ago
All food is shit eventually.

I’ve been in 3 different airports in the past 24 hours. This hits hard

This happened to me recently. Tried a Vietnamese place that is literally twice as expensive as my usual Vietnamese place, and it was much, much worse. Sad times. I’m also a total food snob though
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 month ago
A Vietnamese takeout place just opened near me and I gave it a shot. Went in to pick up the food and it was all white people and I knew it wasn’t going to work out. I was not disappointed in my negativity. It was like these people had watched a single TikTok video on Vietnamese cuisine and decided to open a restaurant. Probably just a front for laundering drug money.

It’s crazy how much this happens, two super popular restaurants near me were busted for precisely this. Big police raids and everything, that even had semiautomatic rifles…
Vupware@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I’ve got a pho place near me that just raised their prices. Instead of $10 for a five lb meal, I now pay $12. I’m okay with that.
Demiurge bless the Asian dives!

Me after trying Raising Canes for the first time.
It’s barely better than school cafeteria food.

I call it replicator chicken. It looks perfect, striking you as having been cooked in pristine oil, is consistent and properly fried, but then when you taste it you get the world’s blandest recipe. It’s really like a well-meaning computer’s idea of chicken tenders.
The sauce is decent, and utterly necessary, but it’s really not worth it, even within the space of fast-casual chicken fingers. I prefer Layne’s or even Zaxby’s.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The chicken is ‘fine/meh’ but their sauce is awful. I have no idea who the fuck thought that concoction was pleasant or the rows of theoretical taste-testers that clearly lack taste buds, but shit they should be forced to dip everything in that slew for the rest of their lives. Actually genuinely an abomination.
I tried it on several occasions from different locations, but it sucks all the same.

Oh god I was so disappointed in it cause everyone kept saying it was so good

I’m a ride-or-die Zaxby’s bitch.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It is cafeteria food. The attraction is Cane Sauce. It’s literally the only thing that elevates the food. Cane’s is the worst fried chicken recipe.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Someone should probably tell then that the sauce is even worse

This is funny to me. We got one here a couple of years ago. My adult son eats there and loves it. I haven’t eaten out since the pandemic, so I haven’t tried it.
