    They’ve been penny-pinching and jacking up prices aggressively. For something called “fast food” it is not really fast anymore. The rare time I’ve been to mcdonalds since the pandemic, it looks like they keep the number of employees to two people at a time in each location and the drive-thru line takes forever to move. Not going to miss it since it was rare for me to go to mcdonalds even before the pandemic, but the general penny-pinching pisses me off and mcdonalds seems like one of the worst offenders. I think they’ve been wanting to rebrand as “casual dining” or whatever, but based on their approach it’s really just a market segment that doesn’t make sense to me. Shitty food, small portions, high prices, and slow service. I have no idea why people still go there.

      McDonalds has crashed in quality since the pandemic. During the pandemic everyone was really competing for market share and improving their menus… Except McDonalds, and now that we’re out of the pandemic, everyone is pinching including McDonalds. I’d really rather go anywhere else except maybe BK.
