I Spent $40 On Three Value Meals At McDonald's Yesterday

Post by Engine13 »

First, I know it's 2024, shit's high and people are nuts.
That said....
After running some errands, I figured I'd pick up some Mickey D's since our son was home from college and I didn't wanna cook. Hadn't had it in a long time....eh, why not.
Ordered (three value meals) A quarter pounder, 2 big macs, all medium size. 2 with shakes, 1 with a coke.
"That'll be $38.86, please pull around".....Huh?
Christ on a pogo stick. I hadn't been to mcd's in a while, but wtf? I'm not in LA, Hawaii, or Alaska....again, wtf?

Paid up, ate the bland food, and shit it out an hour later.
Lesson learned. I just got butt fucked by Ronald McDonald.
I'm out 40 bucks and my asshole feels gross.

Food products are still crazy. $9 for a 12-pack of Diet Coke (used to be $3.99).

I drove through Taco Bell last week (yeah, so what!!!). Light lunch for 2, $20. TB used to be the place where you could buy 50 items for $10, it seemed.

Yet, other industries have stayed pretty even for years. Gas is always up and down.

I don't spend much time on the "why," so I'm not sure.

I love real Mexican food, and I realize TB is not that. Honestly, I don't know what it is, and it is sort of gross. But it hits the spot.

Use the mcdonalds app for free small things to fill out the meal.

They use too much "powdered simulated food substance" instead of meat.
I prefer Sonic. Last week I got two double quarter lb cheeseburgers for five bucks.

Sonic is good. Our local one has the most fucked up drive-thru set up ever. You can get trapped in the lot with other cars and not be able to get out. That often dissuades me from that 3-minute drive.

I like Sonic, but the wait time is insane. I always order on the app ahead of time. I get there, and check-in and wait. Eventually I get the "So and so is on their way with your order", but it's bullshit, as I'm left waiting another 10 minutes.
