    McDonald’s used to be viable because it was shit, but at least it was cheap. Now it’s just shit. I haven’t gone of my own will in years, only with other people who wanted it. $3 for a hash brown is absurd.

      The level is lower than that. McDonald’s used to serve the customer, the customer now serves the corporation.

        The customer always served the corporation, they just used to hide it better.

      It used to be cheap, fast, filling and clean. It’s none of those things anymore.

      What’s their value proposition nowadays? Nostalgia?

      No man. McDonald’s used to be cheap, fast and decent. The original burger in 1955 was 15 cents, or about $1.75 today. Don’t forget how far things have fallen lol
