McDonalds price increase

[Sally090807]

I see that McDonalds are increasing their prices so from today their cheeseburgers are going up from 99p to £.1.19, a 20% increase.
I don’t eat there often but as the company made $12.58B last year, a 29% increase from the previous year, then I think it’s sheer greed to put their prices up.

YABU - the cost of living has gone up and therefore they should increase their prices
YANBU - they make massive profits therefore they should keep their prices on hold.

I'd be a lot more confident about what goes into a McDonald's beefburger patty than those found in local takeaways, many pubs, most food trucks at events and similar places.

I doubt there is much difference in beef burger patties or minced meat anywhere

I remember show where they tested the £1 burgers (patty is about 36p) and it came back with quite a lots of offal in. Which is fine except when it's sold as meat.
Still better than breadcrumbs and stuff!

getting a delivery of McDonalds to your door really gives me the shivers. I’m not sure how you could be lazier

But is a MacDonalds delivery any worse (lazier) than getting any sort of takeaway delivered??
I usually go and get MacDonalds but our nearest one is 15 min drive and it's not as nice when it's a bit cold.

Pretty sure that's not remotely true.

Prices have definitely gone up there. I recently bought a couple of meals using the order machine thingy inside. It didn't give the option of a 'meal deal', so I ended up paying for each part (drinks, fries, burger) separately and it wasn't cheap.

And the stuff arrives bloody freezing! In fairness, it must be nigh on impossible to keep the fries hot.

Well it is. Now re reading, I did not mean Maccies patties. I meant the super cheap ones from cash and carries.
Frankly, what would people expect for 30 or so p

There are always meal deals. You used the machine wrong!

@SuperPets
Gah, I'm a bloody idiot! I didn't see that option at all and I did look.
