McDonald's used to be a decent fast food choice in France. But nowadays it's gotten super expensive and the portions are tiny, like the big Mac almost fits the palm of my hand. I'd rather go to any other fast food chain or small kebab joint when I need to scratch that itch before I'd go to McDonald's again.
That's how it's been in the US for a long time. It's just simply not worth the money for what you get.
I got down voted last time I mentioned this, but the app usually has pretty good deals if you just need a quick bite. Two spicy chickens for $3 is my go-to.
Don’t you have to waive your right to sue McDonalds if you use their app or was that just an internet rumor? I don’t eat there or ise the app so don’t know but thought I read something like that.
I just looked it up you're right lol. I imagine it's intended for pricing compliance and maybe data security, those are common lawsuits. If you get food poisoning and they find food safety violations... or if the golden arches falls on your car, or really any other negligence they're still on the hook.
Compliance is a really big deal in corporations and pricing is a big one. Again not a lawyer tho.
Idk I'm just a guy that eats chicken sandwiches every now and then LOL. If that were true I highly doubt it would hold up in court, but I'm not a lawyer.
Lol yeah it’s not legal it’s just there to dissuade people from taking legal actions who don’t know any better.
Oh yeah a once in awhile thing is great, especially if it's a deal.
Yeah I hadn't had their food in a while and we ended up going to one in Lisbon earlier this year. I was really surprised at how small the servings had gotten for what they're charging. I don't really understand why anybody would go there at this point. There's a lot of decent food out there for less money.
Habit
For me it's the nostalgia hooks they have in me. Every once in a blue moon, I get a craving for McNuggets that nothing else can satisfy. Probably because they're barely chicken nuggets, and are more of their own thing.
Not to forget that they are extremely shitty when it comes to vegetarian options especially compared to Burger King
the portions are tiny, like the big Mac almost fits the palm of my hand.
Well, McD is apparently also going to start making bigger burgers.
Smells like "new size, 30% free", but it's the old size, just more expensive.
Ahh yes the old motto "always lie to the customer!" Shrink your product so you can later return to the original and sell for more money, or the good ol Amazon: raise your price for a short time so you can have a "sale" that was the original price...
I wonder what they did with the Royal' with Cheese... Technically they could shrink that too since it doesn't have 1/4 pounder in the name.
even the 'quarter-pounder' has shrunk over the years. there's more fat ground-in now than there used to be, but same 'pre cooked' weight.
