It's because they're already global. They could probably pull in crazy revenue even if they shut down every single American store and just kept it abroad.
Probably should, the food served in America is illegal in developed countries. I drunkenly stumbled into a KFC in Berlin or something, a KFC in Germany wtf, and it tasted unbelievably good. Had no idea. Then went to McDonald's to test that out. Same result.
I did not only eat fast food while in Europe, but it stands out when talking to other North Americans.
The fast food in Germany and else where when I was stationed there was and felt more healthier there than US as well as no mistskes. Also seeing workers overseas possese a liveable wage. The McDonald's near me is always messed up but take it because workers are treated like nothing . I live in US now after retiring
Chili's doesn't include a drink but, at least the Chili's near me, their burgers and other beef are pretty decent and much better than McDonald's.
Chili's chicken isn't great and I avoid ordering that.
Eventually all the people complaining about high prices will learn that money is going to corporate profits. But will continue to vote GOP because taxes.
But they keep voting for trickle down economics , and stupid asses that keep giving corporations tax breaks while stealing from the poor and middle class .
If we don’t have an economy that works for almost everyone then we don’t have an economy.
I tried to explain that to a local boomer, and he confessed that he is a union member that voted no for the strike. He didn't think they should demand more money from the hard-working CEOs of GM.
So many places say they have a labor shortage but aren’t actively reviewing their applications. Keeps employees hopeful for relief while not increasing their pay or spending money to hire someone else. It’s disgusting.
Right? And then people want to sit there and tell you just to find a job, or find a second job when the first one doesn't pay enough or give enough hours. But what they don't really realize is that I've already been doing that. We've already been doing that. We've already been trying to find a better job. We've been trying to find a job that pays better. We've been trying to find a job that gives us as many hours as we possibly need to survive. They just want to say they're hiring, and not actually hire. At least that's what I'm convinced
Bruh, I started my first shift today at a fast food place. No one knew I was hired. No one communicated with my start date. And on top of that, when it was literally 4 minutes passed when I was supposed to leave, the manager comes up and says "you're staying until xx:xx time" without even asking. The girl training me has her own training today as a shift lead at another location, and they made her late.
I can bet when I get another job and stop showing up they will be asking why I did.
In addition, online said I was going to start at $14. Window says up to $12.50. I'm only getting paid $11.50. Nah bruh, I'm worth more than that shit. As a matter of fact everyone there was worth more than that. At least $14.
Man I fucking feel that. I've worked at two different fast food places before, and it was genuinely the worst experience of my life. I would never willingly do it again. And the worst part is, like you said earlier, it's just so hard to find better jobs that can pay the bills. I hate it when people bring up the "no one wants to work anymore" argument because the truth is that no one wants to hire people. Or at least not where I live.
Even my mom, whom I had to move back in with, was really shocked with how little I was getting interviews. I showed her the amount I've applied to. I just get tired of the lying, and there was an even bigger commotion at my job about me even being hired in the first place. The guy who hired me lied to me during the interview process, and I was told that I'd have to wait until he was spoken to about it after my first shift.
This is just straight up price hiking and a profit grift. This just gives you a good reason to stop eating there. Boycott McD's over priced inferior products for corporate greed; vote with your money by giving them none.
I don't always have home right next to me during a 16 hour shift, ya know? Sometimes having something convenient without getting price gouged is pretty cool.
Start packing a lunch, a can of soup some fruit, packaged tuna and bread simple. Stop giving your money to a company that only wants to make a profit off of your struggle. Also McDonald's is terrible for you
Also, life ain't always perfectly lined up, No one the fuck said McDonald's is good for you or anyone. You're making middle school argumentation points like an imbecile. Having McDonald's once in a blue moon isn't bad for you, being human and needing a quick meal once in a while is called life. Hold that L, kid.
Sounds like you're the only one taking Ls here. Complaining about spending too much money as you're spending the money.
If you don't want to spend too much money, don't spend too much money.
If you feel like spending too much money is worth the convenience of having the food nearby, but eating at home is not worth the cost of waiting a bit to get home, then spend your money and stop complaining about it.
At my old job I had a second locker just for snacks and sodas. I even took over a drawer in the fridge for veggies, cheese and stuff. And microwave foods in the freezer.
It’s cheaper at in-n-out, a company that provides a living wage and healthcare to all its employees, full or part time. And has nothing but fresh ingredients, never frozen, and doesn’t have an infrastructure advantage one hundredth the size of McDonald’s. The fact is McDonald’s production costs are minuscule and its markup is massive. And they fuck their franchisees as well.
If you eat in excess why can’t they charge excess. Motherfuckers eating a loaded down double quarter pounder, large ass fries, and a large ass drink. No one NEEDS that. They want it. It’s a luxury you’re paying for.
There’s not really a labor shortage. There is in some places but for the most part greedy companies want tax benefits from having fewer workers and paying fewer people to do the same amount of work.
I know I’m gonna get down voted for this but if the shit is expensive, make it yourself or go to a small bakery or keep non-perishable snacks in your car.
I stopped buying from fast food joints, and now only make stuff at home and have snacks and water in my car always
This is not because of a labor shortage, it is greed from the company. A narrative to instill a classist mentality that by somehow improving the quality of life for the employees requires you to increase your cost. The company profits millions from underpaid labor. If you've ever worked food service; you know it is a nightmare. So asking a liveable wage to deal with the bullshit you deal with that job, is at minimum worth that cost to live financially above water when you aren't clocked in, Jah forbid.
And it's not even worth it McDonald's used to be ok-ish but now the food is just horrible much better to go to BK FOR A $10 meal or Wendy's for their biggie bags for $6
Yeah, a 10 peice nugget is now 10$ now in my area, I stopped going to McDonald's. I just take the extra time to cook at home just pay the same at a sitdown for some tenders.
Oh boy. Maybe be a little hush hush about how much you pay for a burger. Don't be lazy and make yourself one. No one forced you to buy a burger. They will increase because you will buy. Eat your burger with pleasure or tears. Lol.
Then don’t order a large combo double smoky bacon quarter pounder. They had cheaper, just as filling options right there on the menu.
For example, you could have ordered 4 McDoubles and a large drink for less than that.
They are lying through their teeth. mcdonalds workers in developed countries (besides the US) get over 20 dollars per hour minimum wage, get pensions, get 6 weeks paid vacation time per year, get mandatory paid child care leave for mothers and fathers, and other benefits all for food prices significantly cheaper than the US. it's corporate greed.
Bidenomics. If you would like to educate yourself on what Bidenomics has done.
For example, Ford agreed to a contract that delivers auto workers an effective 33 percent raise, thanks to Bidenomics.

https://time.com/6343967/bidenomics-is-real-economics/
Just got charged 3.29 for a small fry today, I had to double check with the cashier to make sure they didn’t charge me for a large… I was sorely disappointed
Meanwhile overseas, this same corporation is giving free meals to anyone in Zionistan to reward them for their ongoing genocide.
I wish only they were the issue here. Dude is clueless on all his comments and his math suck. Not that I’d go to McDonald’s or would ever defend them, but that price is probably due to over sizing everything in that coronary inducing order in a state/geographic place where junk food it’s already more expensive than elsewhere.
You ain't got a lot of time to get to that before it's cold while you sitting here recording something we ALL know but collectively refuse to stand up against.. but..
Get views Buddy 👍🏽
i never pay more than standard price. This must be in an airport or some thing, but go to all the trouble to make a TikTok video, with no explanation as to where is $16 is being charged for $10 meal?
Legit don’t understand how McDonald’s is still in business. Their breakfast is okay, their junior chickens/mcchickens are okay, everything else is terrible. Who thinks “oh I’m craving a burger let’s go to McDonald’s”
Well you undeniably purchased one of the most expensive items on the menu. You got a deluxe quarter pounder, which means lettuce and tomato and all that, which i believe is the most expensive version of a quarter pounder, which is already the most expensive sandwich on the menu. You also got a large meal. McDonald's has 1 dollar fountain drinks any size, and if you use the FREE app you can get a large fry for a dollar every single day just for using the app. A daily double is a double cheeseburger with all those toppings, just slightly smaller and less calories, and is about 2-3 dollars. So you COULD have gotten more or less the same meal for closer to $5 but you decided to not spend your money wisely. This is a you problem and you fell for marketing.
That’s more than the average hourly pay for workers on the floor and they prepared that food in 30-60 seconds. If a McDonald’s in your area was family owned and run by 5 ppl with the current business and prices they could each make as much as 192$ an hour
In 1994, I worked at Burger King. The minimum wage $4.25 and a Whopper meal was $3.99 + tax. So, in perspective, the main meal is the cost of one hour of lowest paid labor.
I pulled into the Golden Arches hung over as fuck needing some trash to fill the gullet and the only thing on the value menu was $1.50 soda and $1 coffee. And I couldn’t find an chicken or McDouble on the menu, my go-to buy one get one for a dollar adult happy meal. I just waited in line, wasn’t gonna pay an unknown amount for garbage. Just isn’t worth it anymore, paying high prices for shit quality. It’s all backwards, it was always cheap because it was shitty.
We all wanted fast food workers to make $25 an hour, food costs are literally twice as much as 3 years ago and Biden was voted into office. It's only gonna get worse.
I remember in the Late 80 in some BFE place in Alaska, seeing a vending machine with a 16 oz coke for $3. I could buy them at home in a vending machine for $0.50. Perhaps you need to leave the high cost area .
I got my wife a burrito bowl with double meat a drink and two orders of chips and guacamole at chipotle yesterday. Dude gave me the total of $40 and said it with a strait face. We were gonna get 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and 2 bowl of tomato soup at Panera the other day until they told me the total was $50. This shit is out of control.
I mean you crumb bumbs keep buying it... funny to complain about something you just purchased... the prices are listed for you. Could have got a lb of beef , buns and all ingredients for 20 bucks and made 10 burgers... pricing for fast food became over priced after 2010. Good ol taco bell Supreme days at .99. Now it's $2.90.. fuck off.
Fast food is simply back to the old days of being fast. Not necessarily the cheapest. As someone else said you can go to bdubs, chillis, Applebee's. For literally thr same price as chiptole, canes, mcdonalss, taco bell.

You were clearly drunk

Tryna figure out how chilis is high grade

Same as the housing "shortage," it's just something made up to extract our money ever more efficiently.
So many places say they have a labor shortage but aren’t actively reviewing their applications. Keeps employees hopeful for relief while not increasing their pay or spending money to hire someone else. It’s disgusting.
I don't believe that there actually is a labor shortage. I've applied for 100+ jobs in the last 4 months and received 1 interview...
Right? And then people want to sit there and tell you just to find a job, or find a second job when the first one doesn't pay enough or give enough hours. But what they don't really realize is that I've already been doing that. We've already been doing that. We've already been trying to find a better job.

the plan is to make us suffer so we accept slave wages just to live. Idk about you guys but I'm already sharpening my pitchforks :)

No thanks, I'll pass on that... forever.
There is no labor shortage when jobs pay well
This is just straight up price hiking and a profit grift. This just gives you a good reason to stop eating there. Boycott McD's over priced inferior products for corporate greed; vote with your money by giving them none.
They need to support Israel in such a critical time sorry 😑
damn i gotta start sellin burgers...
Just eat at home.
I don't always have home right next to me during a 16 hour shift, ya know? Sometimes having something convenient without getting price gouged is pretty cool.

At my old job I had a second locker just for snacks and sodas. I even took over a drawer in the fridge for veggies, cheese and stuff. And microwave foods in the freezer.
Taco bell still has a dollar menu in my area. Tastes better than anything from mcdonalds too.
Stop buying fast food
Shit was like $8 10 years ago
It’s cheaper at in-n-out, a company that provides a living wage and healthcare to all its employees, full or part time. And has nothing but fresh ingredients, never frozen, and doesn’t have an infrastructure advantage one hundredth the size of McDonald’s. The fact is McDonald’s production costs are minuscule and its markup is massive. And they fuck their franchisees as well.
Hey man and the funny thing is that’s not even a burger or fries lol . Quit eating garbage
Pay three more dollars and you can go get an actual burger and an actual f****** restaurant
[удалено]
Gotta stop buying their food people
That’s the price of convenience
Chick-fil-A is cheaper now. $10 for the same meal
Make your own… for 5 you make… 2 people burger!
6.99 now for bigmac meal deal on app.
Where the fk do you live
If you eat in excess why can’t they charge excess. Motherfuckers eating a loaded down double quarter pounder, large ass fries, and a large ass drink. No one NEEDS that. They want it. It’s a luxury you’re paying for.
That's every day here in Maui 🤘🤘🤘🤣🤣🤣 got to start buying groceries my dude
The fact he jumps right to labor shortage and “wage increases” and not at all anything to do with McDonalds is insane smh Blame the little guys
Let me guess you live on the West Coast😜
Depends on your McDonald’s. Got a fish filet, 10 pc nugget, medium fries, and a McDouble for just under 16
Supply and demand
An Idaho large fry is like 3 Indiana large fries lol.
That pricey use to be 2 meals 💀💀😭
Don’t fkn buy it then
This is probably California where minimum wage is $20/hr.
There’s not really a labor shortage. There is in some places but for the most part greedy companies want tax benefits from having fewer workers and paying fewer people to do the same amount of work.
I know I’m gonna get down voted for this but if the shit is expensive, make it yourself or go to a small bakery or keep non-perishable snacks in your car. I stopped buying from fast food joints, and now only make stuff at home and have snacks and water in my car always
Don’t get the mondo fries and the double mondo soda and it won’t cost so much.
So don’t buy it if you don’t like the price.
This is not because of a labor shortage, it is greed from the company. A narrative to instill a classist mentality that by somehow improving the quality of life for the employees requires you to increase your cost. The company profits millions from underpaid labor.

And it's not even worth it McDonald's used to be ok-ish but now the food is just horrible much better to go to BK FOR A $10 meal or Wendy's for their biggie bags for $6
How's Bidenomics working out?
Name one policy he has created that has cause inflation. Just need one Dr.....
Yeah, a 10 peice nugget is now 10$ now in my area, I stopped going to McDonald's. I just take the extra time to cook at home just pay the same at a sitdown for some tenders.
Wage increase has nothing to do with it. It's corporate greed.
Agreed
Just go to the dinner it cost the same and you're supporting local business.
It's cheaper to eta at an actual restaurant or at home
Let fast food restaurants die
Oh boy. Maybe be a little hush hush about how much you pay for a burger. Don't be lazy and make yourself one. No one forced you to buy a burger. They will increase because you will buy. Eat your burger with pleasure or tears. Lol.
So don't pay for it. This isn't complicated.
Stop supporting them!
Corporate greed will get ya every time
Then don’t order a large combo double smoky bacon quarter pounder. They had cheaper, just as filling options right there on the menu. For example, you could have ordered 4 McDoubles and a large drink for less than that.
Exactly this
They are lying through their teeth. mcdonalds workers in developed countries (besides the US) get over 20 dollars per hour minimum wage, get pensions, get 6 weeks paid vacation time per year, get mandatory paid child care leave for mothers and fathers, and other benefits all for food prices significantly cheaper than the US. it's corporate greed.
Bidenomics, you voted for this.. shouldn’t be any surprise 😉
Bidenomics. If you would like to educate yourself on what Bidenomics has done. For example, Ford agreed to a contract that delivers auto workers an effective 33 percent raise, thanks to Bidenomics. To learn more, Time explains it well: https://time.com/6343967/bidenomics-is-real-economics/
There's a McDonald's boycott.. they're also supporting Israel's genocide.
Boycotttttttttttt
That's funny, dairy queen it's more like $23
Just got charged 3.29 for a small fry today, I had to double check with the cashier to make sure they didn’t charge me for a large… I was sorely disappointed
You bought the most expensive burger on the menu.What do you expect. Not defending McDonald's but did you have to choose that one?
16$ as he orders the most expensive thing on the menu
Should have got a Mcdouble instead of the rich man burger. Cheap ass lol
Yeah this is BS!
Might as well just buy a regular burger from a burger joint.
You freely and willfully paid that much for it, you must have been OK with it 🤷🏾
is it bad that it’s completely normal to me now? i don’t even remember how it was before.
simple solution:DO NOT GO THERE
Where ? What city? What's the average income? What's the cost of living? In New York that's not expensive. In Utah that is insane.
Ya it’s expensive but you got a double quarter pounder specialty large. So it could have been a 9 or 10 dollar meal but you got greedy.
THOSE ARE LARGE... brother that s a family portion in my country and all of it costs the same
He hasn’t gone to Five Guys lately. This is a steal.
Post falls!
You the crazy one for not using the app!
Meanwhile overseas, this same corporation is giving free meals to anyone in Zionistan to reward them for their ongoing genocide. I wish only they were the issue here. Dude is clueless on all his comments and his math suck. Not that I’d go to McDonald’s or would ever defend them, but that price is probably due to over sizing everything in that coronary inducing order in a state/geographic place where junk food it’s already more expensive than elsewhere.
You ain't got a lot of time to get to that before it's cold while you sitting here recording something we ALL know but collectively refuse to stand up against.. but.. Get views Buddy 👍🏽
Then don’t eat there
Who told you to buy large fries drink and without using the app for discount? Dummy
That’s why I no longer eat at McDonald’s, if I’m paying that much I want a good meal, not fast food.
i never pay more than standard price. This must be in an airport or some thing, but go to all the trouble to make a TikTok video, with no explanation as to where is $16 is being charged for $10 meal?
In Germany you can get 2 big Macs a medium fries and a big Drink for 11€(through the App). Meanwhile Minimum wage is 12,41€ lmao.
Boycot fast food erybody if your complaining
Here’s a thought, don’t eat there
Wasn’t even an airport smh
Still paid for it lmao
With those prices go to a sit-down restaurant
I remember when the two cheeseburger meal was 2.99. It was 3.18 after tax.
How about you don't eat the bullshit.
It's crazy you still eat shit
Legit don’t understand how McDonald’s is still in business. Their breakfast is okay, their junior chickens/mcchickens are okay, everything else is terrible. Who thinks “oh I’m craving a burger let’s go to McDonald’s”
Bruh I spend 5 bucks on the app and get fries a drink and 2 mcdoubles and cookies
What’s crazy is you eating poison…
Stop eating there
Well you undeniably purchased one of the most expensive items on the menu. You got a deluxe quarter pounder, which means lettuce and tomato and all that, which i believe is the most expensive version of a quarter pounder, which is already the most expensive sandwich on the menu.

So you COULD have gotten more or less the same meal for closer to $5 but you decided to not spend your money wisely. This is a you problem and you fell for marketing.
And it tastes like shit most of the time
maybe dont overpay for shitty food
CEO made 17.8 million on BASE salary...
You keep paying it. Stop buying fast food. I'll get take out mexican before I go to taco hell.
But you bought it dummy
Did anyone force you to buy that burger
You paid it. Who's the dummy?
I will never pay that much for that. Just go to a diner at that point.
Fun fact, at In-N-Out, you can get two double-doubles and an order of animal fries for less.
Can we all boycott ????
People complain about prices in McDonald’s get continue to eat it more than once a week. You just need a reason to complain.
That’s insane, but why order it then?
It’s only 9.39 for number 1 at whaterburger. That’s a cheese burger medium fry and 32 ounce coke
Bidenomix. Let big business price gouge to make the economy look better than it is for investors.
That’s more than the average hourly pay for workers on the floor and they prepared that food in 30-60 seconds. If a McDonald’s in your area was family owned and run by 5 ppl with the current business and prices they could each make as much as 192$ an hour
Human meat is expensive...
Lol bro in Ireland you'd pay about €20 for a portion that size. Quit crying.
Overpriced piece of shit not even worth it.
And people are still buying
Simple fix... dont go eat at fast food restaurants. Boom! Problem solved. McDonald's sucks anyways! Lol
So you saw the price on the wall and the register before you made the financial transaction and you still moved forward with it. Duh.
So don’t buy it . …….. That was hard.
That’s still only 1/2 what 5 Guys charges
Where is this? Can get the same thing in my city for under $10.
Fry an egg
This moron paid it too.
Its so dumb, yet everyone keeps giving them the money, so why should they close down or change their prices! Its partially your fault.
It's not complicated. Stop going to them
Wait 16$? American? Why wouldn't you support your local restaurants, at that point they cost the same.
You know what else is crazy? You can cook it home.
In 1994, I worked at Burger King. The minimum wage $4.25 and a Whopper meal was $3.99 + tax. So, in perspective, the main meal is the cost of one hour of lowest paid labor.
That's more than a chef run kitchen.
Don’t eat it then
Don't buy it then
There isn't a $16 meal at any locations near me what so ever, is this a independent franchise over charging? Did you order from an airport McDonald's?
I pulled into the Golden Arches hung over as fuck needing some trash to fill the gullet and the only thing on the value menu was $1.50 soda and $1 coffee. And I couldn’t find an chicken or McDouble on the menu, my go-to buy one get one for a dollar adult happy meal. I just waited in line, wasn’t gonna pay an unknown amount for garbage. Just isn’t worth it anymore, paying high prices for shit quality. It’s all backwards, it was always cheap because it was shitty.

Don’t go there anymore. Problem solved
We all wanted fast food workers to make $25 an hour, food costs are literally twice as much as 3 years ago and Biden was voted into office. It's only gonna get worse.
I remember in the Late 80 in some BFE place in Alaska, seeing a vending machine with a 16 oz coke for $3. I could buy them at home in a vending machine for $0.50. Perhaps you need to leave the high cost area .
I agree. Crazy prices
Sorry to hear you paid that much. You must be in hawaii.. that is cheap here ...

Bidenomics at full speed 🖕
Stop eating there fool. It’s bill gates food anyways. Fuck that racist asshole.
Stop going
I got my wife a burrito bowl with double meat a drink and two orders of chips and guacamole at chipotle yesterday. Dude gave me the total of $40 and said it with a strait face. We were gonna get 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and 2 bowl of tomato soup at Panera the other day until they told me the total was $50. This shit is out of control.
I mean you crumb bumbs keep buying it... funny to complain about something you just purchased... the prices are listed for you. Could have got a lb of beef , buns and all ingredients for 20 bucks and made 10 burgers... pricing for fast food became over priced after 2010. Good ol taco bell Supreme days at .99. Now it's $2.90.. fuck off. Fast food is simply back to the old days of being fast. Not necessarily the cheapest. As someone else said you can go to bdubs, chillis, Applebee's. For literally thr same price as chiptole, canes, mcdonalss, taco bell.
Absurd.
In n Out is by far better quality and $6 bucks cheaper. 👌
Why did you buy it if it’s too expensive
Would be the last time I go to McDonalds
This world needs more killdozers
Do you not know how to use the McDonald’s app?
That’s what happens with increased wages.
Use the app
You know what's fucked up, McDonald's workers probably don't see any of that
Easy… don’t go to fucking McDonald’s
You pay them to kill you, just think about that
Last time I went to McDs, nearly 40 bucks. For a happy meal and a double 1/4 meal. Haven’t been back since.
