not again

why is it NOT allowed?

French government charges McDonalds a hefty fee for associating their words with such poor quality products.

>>5573807
Who would want to buy a $1.00 Fish sandwich from mcdonalds??. Pricing it higher gives people the impression that its not shit. Until they bite into it lmao

>>5573827
This spookle dookled me.

>>5573807
cod is more expensive than chicken

capitalism OP
it's called capitalism.

McDonalds pricing is totally fucked anyway. At the one near my house it's like this:

Sausage McMuffin $1.00
Sausage McMuffin with egg $2.79

so you are payng $1.79 for an egg
another example:

A cheeseburger is $1.00
a "two cheeseburgers extra value meal" is $6.49

If you buy the items separate,
Cheeseburger x2 = $2.00
Extra big ass drink = $1.00
Small fries = $1.49

so thats $4.49
you are basically throwing away $2
wheres the "extra value" in that?

>>5574011
They do that to trick stupid people into paying more than they need to. Same as how Five guys tries to trick you into beliving that a "Cheeseburger" is in fact a double cheeseburger. And all you need to order is a small fry since they fill the bag up anyway. All fast food places work like that.

>fish and cheese together

absolutely disgusting

>>5574042
>implying that is either fish or cheese

>>5574011

I'm usually much more annoyed by the opposite.

$6 for menu with burger, big ass drink and fries.
$5 for just the burger.

Just bullshit and promotes wasting food.

>>5574036
>All fast food places work like that

Not at In N Out
There is no difference in price between buying a combo and ordering the items separately.

>>5574052
based in n out

I was about to add in >inb4 in n out fags but I figured all the califags were still snoozing.

>>5574060
LA is culturally no better than flyover land. For instance, having some shitty fast food restaurant is, to you, a mark of relevance.

>>5574071
well this is a food board..
so theres that
>its not like i need to go off topic and tell you about how great it is to live 15 minutes from the beach and 40 from the snow
>its not like we have thousands of great resturants that range culturally
>its not like i need to tell you youre anally exasperated

>>5574060
>>5574067
>>5574071
fellas, fellas. lets all put aside our coastal hatred for today. today we should all come together and enjoy ALL our fast food as we point and laugh at the britbongs with their shitty food.

>>5574049
Yeah, srsly. I usually don't even want the drink, but then I get it anyway because the combo is actually cheaper than just a sandwich and fries.

>>5574049
if you just want the burger, pay the $5 and you're saving a dollar
have some willpower

>>5574086
Yours is the defensiveness of a fat chick claiming I just can't handle a "real woman"

No thanks on the shit beaches and shit mountains. The only good thing about LA is it keeps more useless celebrities out of our city.

>>5574104
is this me?
or you?

>protip: its you

>>5574011
i think you're eating too much mcdonalds if you've got the menu memorized

Another quality thread with burgerstanis arguing about fast food.

>>5574116
I go there every morning to get the $1 large coffee and I notice the menu.

>>5574150
No just LA, on behalf of America and the capital of the world (literally), I apologize on behalf of our stinky anus that learned to talk.

>>5574155

>>5574104
>shit beaches and shit mountains

Seriously, I never understood why Califags brag about their beaches. East Coast clearly has best beaches in (continental) US.

>>5574190
third coast has some pretty nica beaches too but yeah wests are def the worst

>>5574190
Midwest here. We also have beaches and snow.

>>5573807
I saw that episode of Dirty Jobs where they worked on a cod fishing/processing boat. That shit was insane. I totally understand why seafood is more expensive.

>>5573807
fish is very temperamental

it has to be a lot fresher than chicken and it has to be preserved a lot more carefully or else everyone gets food poisoning and worms, so it's more expensive

>>5573807

>McDonalds

Wendy's is the superior franchise burger chain.

>>5573807

Go watch a video on how they produce chicken these days. They have really stepped up the mass production on that shit. twice as big half the time easy to catch since they can walk live in the dark and never leave their little barn thing.

fish hasnt been figured out to that degree yet probably because its harder working with a water animal.

>>5574449
>can walk

cant walk

(more then a couple steps at least)

>>5574289

White fish is so fucking cheap. I can get whole white fish here in ny with the head removed and descaled for $3 the lb.

Salmon from chile is like $9 by the lb, and fresh stuff is about $15. White fish is not expensive.

>>5574415

too bad its still shit. 6-7 dollars for a combo that is barely filling.

>>5574456
>literally using personal trivia against global market

education is cheap, too, stop saving on it.

>>5573807
at least its a filet
isnt mcchicken that fucking processed patty

>>5574468

Hence the word "franchise", though where I live there is a Wendy's that serves a rather hefty triple cheeseburger on a pretzel bun. The most meat (if you can call it that) that I have seen from any offering from any major franchise chain eatery that I have been to.

>That cheap fastfood
Now I understand why you eat that many burgers.
Our fast food costs twice as much as yours.

At least we have tasty Döner/Kebab from our culturally-enriching friends.

I'll tell you one thing, be glad your country has a dollar menu. Everything in the Canadian McDicks is so overpriced that the only time I go there is when I'm shopping across the border.

>>5574573
yeah but you guys have the McLobster

>>5574587
That's only in one small part of Canada. The worst part of Canada.

They don't even list the prices of nuggets at my McDonalds besides the 20 for $5. I was in the drive-thru and asked them 'How much is each size of nuggets?'

It was something ridiculous like
4pc - $3
6pc - $4.19
20pc - $5

I asked them to repeat that and then said "That doesn't make a lot of sense."

They were probably annoyed at having to list it out but there wasn't anyone behind me so fuck it..

>>5574626
you don't have the 10-piece option?

i always felt why have a 4 and a 6 piece, just make it 5

>>5574629
Ah this was like 6 months ago. I think the 10pc was $4.79 or around that.

Like the 20 for $5 promo just ended up staying forever.

0.75 4
1.05 6
0.48 10
0.25 20
cost / nug

the 6 pc is the odd one out and the 4pc is also just plain high for nugs

>>5574644
In my area, before they started promoting the 20 chicken nuggets for $5, it was actually cheaper to order multiple 4 piece boxes than it was to order a 10 piece. I think the 10 piece was $3.50 and the 4 piece was $1 or just a few cents over a dollar.

Not a McDonald's story, but I ordered an 8 piece family fried chicken meal one time, and preferred all dark meat. It was $18something. As I drove away, I saw a sign that said, "8 piece dark $8.99." I paid $10 for mashed potatoes and 4 biscuits.

>>5574657
Ahhh

It's like fucking asshole worker why didn't you tell me about the promotion. Fuck you.

>>5574671
I mean, the worker probably just didn't care. Why would they? They're getting paid shit money to do a shit job.

In Australia a Filet o Fish costs $4.70

But it costs 90cents for a bun, $1.60 for the patty, 50cents for a slice of cheese, and 40cents for tartar sauce. All up $3.40 if you order every ingredient separately. And you get an extra half slice of cheese.

>tfw my greatest accomplishment in life is being a mcdonald's manager

Mercury costs extra.

>>5573821
Are you legit retarded?

They just catch regular, cheedar-block shaped fish and slice 'em.

>>5576472
are you this knew?
are you literally this joke illiterate?
>ffs anon

>Are you legit retarded?
Oh the irony.

>>5576478
>>5576482

I don't even know who is b8ing who anymore

>>5576490

I don't get it.

There are people who bitch and moan about the price a fish sandwich, just because the chicken one is getting sold for one dollar.

One. Fucking. Dollar.

Do you know how these kind of prices come together, what those animals have to endure and - more important - what kind of shit they put into them, which basically means into us? It's gross and far from the "civilized" part we like to call ourselves.

How to make a chicken burger go right? You buy organic chicken, make some nice sauce, do the sandwich yourself and bam, you're done. Sure, it's a lot more than 1 buck.

I have a 10.000$ car in the garage, a 600$ Laptop in front of me, a smartphone that had the same price tag next to me, and i'm trying to save a few bucks on food? Fuck no, that's just plain stupid.

if the state of modern farming rustles you so much you'd buy all the animals

>>5576675
>udicious marksm
This is a good point. You don't save money by spending less - you save money by saving money ie by not spending it.

Turning off the lights around the house when you aren't using them to save money will only save you a couple bucks per month for example... whereas putting a chunk of your paycheck away will be a lot better for savings.

I agree with this post.

>>5576730
because their patties are salt pucks that are thinner than their onion slices.

Their entire menu is shit.
Shit burgers
Shit fries
Shit shakes

>>5576730
>delusional californian spotted

why would anyone dislike anything?

>>5574052
wtf thats cheaper than the in-n-out by me

>>5573807
guess they use actual fish.

I agree. Cheese on fish is disgusting.

> France
> Cheeseburger cost 2 euro (2.7$)

>>5574011
At mine, two cheeseburgers is $1.89. They're pretty tasteless, but still 2 bucks.

>>5574052
>There is no difference in price between buying a combo and ordering the items separately.
Then why offer the combo?

>>5577273
because americans are lazy and would rather just say a number instead of saying all the things they actually want.

>>5577285
Is this true or are you joking?

I'm not American, so excuse my ignorance

>>5577332
No. Its to make shit faster. Saying "I want a burger with cheese, lettuce tomato, mayo, onion, mustard, a side of fries, and a soda with ice." Takes a lot more time and there's a lot more room for confusion when you could just say I want a number one and be done with it

>>5577285
>>5577332
Are you guys idiots? It's so that they can move the line faster, not because anybody's lazy.

I was visiting my aunt and I went to a steak and shake for the first time.

I...

I didn't know it was a restaurant.

>>5577447
wait, what did you think it was?

>>5577467
I mean I thought it was a fast food joint. But what I found was an actual sit down place where they had ceramic plates and menus and waitresses.

>>5577480
ah i see what you mean

it is still essentially fast food, though. just made to order. they even have a drive through

>>5573807
Fast food threads? I think they should be allowed, but not when there's 50 of them.
