    After raising prices and doing away with all the good deals in their app (and adding an arbitration clause to it’s tos)… I certainly don’t eat there as much anymore. I’d be surprised if this expansion is sustainable.

      What I don’t get is McDonald’s, really? Of all of the fast food chains McDonald’s is the worst: quality, taste, appearance, everything. They’re the worst burger fast food chain out there, how are we not seeing this growth with the better options? I’m just a bit confused lol

        I’ll never understand how people over the age of 20 seriously can eat at McDonald’s/Burger King/KFC.

        I liked it too when I was 15 but once I realised how overpriced and underquality it is, I stopped that completely. Only if it really really is the last and only option to get something to eat I would spend any money there.

        I hate fast food and burgers but I kinda like McDonalds. I mean I go there every other year but I kinda like it. It’s the only place I like the fries from, I like the hamburger/cheeseburger, the patties in general, I like the big mac l, the ketchup, the sauces. I also only like their chicken nuggets, I hate chicken nuggets otherwise.

        That being said, McDonalds’s quality is vastly different around the world. I’ll never forget the half burnt half frozen patty of the hamburger at the Denver airport. And in general how gross McDonalds was in the USA. In Germany I kind of like it. In Russia it was different but also ok, with some items being tastier and others super gross.

        Having had to pinch pennies to eat between paychecks recently, McDonald’s, while trash food, let me get a 1000 calorie meal for a little over 6 dollars through their app deals. Every other fast food chain app was basically selling me the window prices, which have significantly gone up. I think this has changed now, and they’ve gotten rid of those deals, but that was the reason for me at the time
