not only is getting mcdonalds delivered to your house a deranged and spiritually degrading act, you guarantee you’ll have zero chance of being able to eat it within the window where it’s somewhat enjoyable (0-5 min after receiving it). psychotic behavior

Isn’t McDonald’s like Walmart in that people usually go there more during bad economic times?

I guess as much as McDonald’s is overpriced it may be cheaper in comparison to everything else.

Fast food ain't the cheapest you can get around here, basic diners cost about as much as a combo meal for better food, just slower.

If you only have 30 minutes for lunch even fast food won't be fast enough if there is even a small line.

Gas station food is where you eat a fast cheap lunch when you get the bare minimum time for lunch, if you don't brown bag it or don't eat and treat lunch like a long smoke break.

That used to be true but within the last 10 years McDonald's has rebranded and reformulated to go after "premium consumers". It's why the interior is all greys and blacks now, to look "classier". Menu prices have been hiked way higher, and they're supposedly using higher quality ingredients (:rolleye:).

They're far from the worst fast food but they're not remotely the value deal they used to be.

Back when I worked in Target the only way I could get lunch (aside from brown bagging sandwiches) was hitting up the McDonald's next door. Even back then (2018) it cost me about $10-12 for a burger, fries, and a drink. I think it's closer to $20+ nowadays.

You can still get extremely dirt cheap breakfast sandwiches from McDonald's with their app. Like by far the cheapest option available if you just need to shove something eggy in your face in the morning.

They almost always have some kind of 2 for $4 deal going on, yeah. I don't eat at McDonald's very often so I am not an expert, but I think it's harder if you want to average out to $2/sandwich with just a single sandwich.

buying the combo meals from a bottom tier fast food place like mcdonalds or taco bell is foolish. the proper move is to buy 3-4 things from the dollar menu except they raised the prices of all that stuff too so now it's like the $1.29 menu. still, the last place you can get a solid meal for 4 dollars

It used to be counter cyclical yes. As has been pointed out that might not be as true anymore as basement level food pricing has eroded for ever increased chasing of the premium consumer.

You could make money off the margins of selling huge amounts of volume to cheap consumers, or you could make a higher % return on selling to a smaller group of more expensive consumers. The latter looks *much* better to investors and stockholders even if it's overall less lucrative.

Seattle requires food trucks to do all their prep in a commissary kitchen, must be within a hundred feet of an accessible bathroom, and cannot be within some limited distance to existing restaurants. As a result they are no cheaper than anything else

This reminds me of when a beloved local record store location was closed 10 years ago and they put a Chase in it. That Chase location is now closed.
