Its unbelievable how bad the quality has gotten. My favorite place to get a chicken sandwich was wendys. Their spicy chicken sandwich was amazing. But last year they decided to get rid of the real chicken patty and serve up a disgusting processed patty thats 1/4 the size.

Accross the board fast food quality is pathetic now. The portion sizes and QUALITY is a fukkn crime. And now theyre jacking the prices.
I don't feel like shrinkflation gets enough attention. I noticed the Wendy's patties were smaller too.

Portions getting smaller, prices getting higher, while democrats claim things are getting better.

Lol cluelessness confirmed. This clown seriously thinks corporate controls everything in the franchises, and that corporate profits reflect franchise profits.

Totally srs question not being snarky - How do companies decide what to charge for their products?

If your job was to set a price for Big Macs, how would you go about doing that?

When it comes to franchises corporate will come up with suggestions based upon costs, averages, and profit margins, but the franchise owners can make adjustments as they see necessary. Higher labor costs = franchise owners needing to raise prices to compensate. Basic business 101 stuff.

So again, Mr. Mcdonald, CEO, comes to you and asks you to build a pricing model. Hundreds of millions are at stake. A penny in either direction equates to millions in top line revenue earned or lost. This is a real job that Mcdonalds pays dozens of finance guys to do.

How would you do it? What type of model would you build?

So you're asking me how I would run McDonalds corporate? They seem to be doing fine, and that's not really a part of franchise operations lol. Bottom line is these labor laws are effecting franchise owners, franchise employees, and customers the most. If you want to know how to run a corporate headquarters I would advise going to a business school. The idea here is simple. Costs go up for franchises, franchises charge more to cover it.

Inflation has been during Biden's time in office. I doubt prices will be going back to what they were with Joe's policies.

Same cope chit everywhere

Everything constantly increases in price and sizes get smaller, clearly it's not just capitalism at work because infinitely increasing profits must continue year on year

Just look at fuking consumer gas prices, they increase due to the "war" and other factors

Gas prices stabilize and lower to even pre-war prices in some places, cost to the consumer stays the same, just LOL at defending any greedy fuking company

Only in America do we want people to suffer including our own families because muh commies and libtards are the real boogeyman, need to show them all by allowing the phukery to continue

It's not just a McDonald's thing, it's an everywhere thing. Food inflation has easily been over 50% since COVID.

Who suffers from that? Poors.

Who benefits from that? Capital owners riding a $5T snort of monetary Pepsi.

It was a wealth transfer from the people who have the least, given to the people who already have the most. Food prices are just one symptom.

Yeah I can two premium McDonalds burgers for like over $10 less than what that cuck payed. I use to be unaware of the app deals but someone put me on, which is the only way I could ever justify getting mcds these days.



I added two spicy mcchickens to that order and came in at less than $15. I could feed two people EASILY with that $18 bucks that he payed for mcds

I don't want to be a prick but obviously you don't know anything about how pricing works. Which is fine, most people don't. All I'm asking for is a little self awareness.

95% of Mcdonald's locations are owned and operated by franchisees.

Average initial investment is $1.8mil.

Median sales is $2.9mil

A franchisee makes their income based on their profit margin. Prices have to go up if a franchisee is going to find operating a volume based business where the average sale is $11 worthwhile.

$2.9millionn/$11 =267,000 transactions a year. That's a lot of fkn work to accept less income year after year.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.
