Have increased prices at McDonald’s backfired? Is this the end of the iconic fast-food giant as we know it?

If you’ve noticed that grabbing a quick meal at your favorite fast-food joint is taking a bigger bite out of your wallet lately – you are not alone! Customers across the nation are complaining about the surge in prices.

The cost of a Big Mac in America has gone up by 280% in the last two decades, with the most expensive meals found in states like New York and Connecticut, where an $18 Big Mac meal is not uncommon.

In this video we unravel the reasons behind the price hikes, customer reactions, and the potential impact on the fast-food industry.

    How can anyone believe groceries only went up 1.5%

  • @grh9885
    If you would stop going to MacDonalds the prices would drop like a rock
  • @prtypeninja
    The ceo did not say they were lowering prices, he said that in 2024, they would be increasing prices at a slightly lower percentage

    People go to McDonald’s because it’s cheap! When it’s no longer cheap, you go somewhere else!

    Wow, that $18 big mac meal is more expensive than inside an airport. I'm so glad I stopped eating fast food.

    Don’t be fooled. Labor costs is not what it’s driving increase in prices. McDonald’s made $25 billion in profit last year.

    I am 74 years old. I ate at McDonald's for the first time in 1963. I was 13 years old. A hamburger was 15 cents, fries were 12 cents, a coke was 10 cents. Think about that. A meal for 37 cents. Every Saturday morning ,I get a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit at McDonald's. Not anymore. I refuse to pay 8.34 for those two items. 61 years a faithful McDonald's customer. No more. Shame on you McDonald's!!😢

    I am ashamed I worked at a McDonald’s 21 years ago and plan to seriously boycott the company.

    I may be getting up in age but my hearing is still fine. I did NOT hear anything about the CEO, CFO, or all the other FOs say anything about their salaries. Its great to hear America is finally standing up to these corporations. They need us more than we need them. 🙏❤😡

    When I was a kid, going to a place like McDonald’s was an occasional treat. Maybe once every 3 to 6 months. Then, with the dollar menu and other affordable choices in the early 2000s, it became a daily thing for me. Lunch was at McDonalds or a place like it. With these outrageous prices and massive corporate profits, it’s back to a once in a while treat for me. I cook at home now. Better food, much lower prices, and I get it the way I like it.
  • @CC-qn4ex
    The service is byond bad, the food quality is subpar and the prices are ridiculous..... I stopped eating at McDonald's a long time ago....
  • @magnusdiridian
    It's a good time for the great taste of home cooking. YOU'LL GET YOUR CUSTOMERS WHEN YOU FIX THESE DAMN PRICES
  • @ShavinMcCrotch
    They will never bring prices down. Prices NEVER come down. They’re addicted to this profit level. The spice must flow.
  • @sherlock1895
    It’s not the price that bothers me it’s the lack of quality. Cheers!
  • @_Diggler
    $2.79 for a sausage biscuit so McD’s can be a career. I just stopped going..
  • @jaystrock613
    Those McDonals executive are still making a bunch of money. I am sure they do not eat at McDonalds but eat at fancy and expensive restaurants.
